This post points out that much of the professing Church is soft, out of touch with Christ’s reality, and has gods of materialism, sports, and a feel-good Christianity. God does not accept it as He requires us to have a genuine relationship with Him that is based on His truth, holiness as He sees it, and a life lived that touches the world with His love. We, for the most part, have forgotten what the fear of God is all about–and until we find it again, are going to fail in fulfilling His commission He gave us. Time has run out and we’d better get with His program–not ours. His definition of “success” is not the one we use. We must see the difference.
ARE YOU HIS “HOUSE”?
The book of Hebrews is avoided by more readers of the New Testament than most books, other than possibly the Book of Revelation. Many of the concepts reach back into the Old Testament, in order to tie the old sacrificial system together with the new. I was doing some reading in Hebrews however and was struck by a few things […]
LOVE or LOVE?
Over the last few articles I have written quite a number of things that would likely be in the “gloom and doom” category–at least for some readers. I will continue with more subjects that deal with what we are facing this year, and the years coming–if the LORD doesn’t call us home first; many things happening within this present year […]
IS YOUR WORLD-VIEW CONTROLLED BY YOUR SPIRIT OR SOUL?
During my morning search to see what’s new on the world scene, I ran into an interesting YouTube video which had little to do with current events, but as most of us have experienced, one video will lead to another. In a short time I ran into one video by an evangelist who happens to be one that I struggle […]
IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD–2013…
It has been a while since I have written an article for this blog. I have started several, in fact nearly finished them, but set them aside in my files or tossed the ones I ended up not liking. I decided instead to just to write about some things that are heavy on my mind, without an outline—writing as it […]
“THE BRIDE”
Preparing For The Soon Coming KING, part 8 There is much in Scripture concerning this entity called “The Bride Of Christ”. Many people in reading the Scriptures skim through the passages that talk about this; others just skip it totally. For a lot of men, they have an aversion to being called a “bride” of anyone! This is understandable—maybe especially […]
If You Love Me
Preparing For The Soon Coming KING, part 7 There is a natural aversion to any suggestion that any of us claiming to be Christ followers may be missing the mark. I find that there is a quick rejection of this implication, because the “theology” of it does not sit well with the relaxed view of the Christian walk that many […]
Missing The Forest For The Trees
Preparing For The Soon Coming KING, Part 6 A few days ago I felt a strong urge to spend some time in the Book of Lamentations located in the Old Testament. It is a book that not many spend much time reading because most find it too depressing. As a matter of fact, I suspect that the prophet Jeremiah himself […]
Preparing For The Coming KING, Part 3
Many things come to mind as I think about how history is unfolding before our eyes today. I have only touched on a little of it in the last two posts. I talk about preparation for the coming KING but most people have no idea that preparation is even necessary, yet the Bible tells us it is absolutely so. I […]
Great Delusion On The Horizon
Preparation For The Soon Coming King Of Kings–Part 2 I have spent much time studying the New Testament scriptures where Jesus made it a point to warn people and give details of the events He expects us to recognize today. The first of these has to do with deception. In going through the three gospel accounts in Matthew 24, Mark […]
