Reasons to Attend Church During the pandemic, churches closed temporarily or perhaps permanently. That wasn’t the case for the New Testament Christians. They continued to meet under the threat of persecution and even death. Have we in America become so weak? Have we no backbone? Underground churches in China and throughout the world continue toContinue reading “Reasons to Skip Zoom and Attend Church”

Eternal Insecurity
It has long been debated within the Christian Church. Can one lose their salvation? If so, what are we to make of Jesus’ words in John 10:28? – “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish . . . .” If the words of Jesus are true, does that mean weContinue reading “Eternal Insecurity”
Mountaintops and Valleys
Have you ever noticed that for every mountain there is a valley? If it were not for the valley there would be no mountain. I was reminded today of a verse that declares God to be the God of the mountain as well as the God of the valley. Unfortunately, I could not remember theContinue reading “Mountaintops and Valleys”
Reasons Christians Don’t Read the Bible
…we have no book that is so much bought, and then so speedily laid aside, and so little used, as the Bible.”— Charles Spurgeon This week I borrowed an article from my good friend, Lori Colbo. She has a spiritual mind that goes beyond the “normal” and expresses it very well. Here’s a link forContinue reading “Reasons Christians Don’t Read the Bible”
Internalizing the Scripture
Many of us have a head knowledge of what the Bible says concerning matters of life, but if we are to be truly revived and on fire for the Lord we must have an experiential knowledge of God’s Word.

Health and Wealth – Isn’t that what the Bible Teaches?
I normally do not watch a lot of television, but I did catch a show the other day that got my attention. A “pastor” made the statement that no one should ever suffer physically. I couldn’t believe what she just said. Did I hear her right? Apparently, I did because her partner sitting across theContinue reading “Health and Wealth – Isn’t that what the Bible Teaches?”

Shall we continue to look at the comparison between the Laodicea church circa 95 AD and the present church in America? The crown has fallen from Liberty’s head in more ways than one. A Little About Laodicea The city of Laodicea wasContinue reading “Laodicea – the 21st Century American Church – Part 4”
Laodicea – The 21st Century American Church – Part 3
The Philadelphia Church In this installment, we’ll continue to look at the seven churches of Revelation. It was on October 31, 1517, that Martin Luther sent his 95 Theses to Albert of Brandenburg, the Archbishop of Mainz. He may have also posted the Theses on the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg, Germany later in NovemberContinue reading “Laodicea – The 21st Century American Church – Part 3”
Laodicea – The 21st Century American Church – Part 2
Link to Part 1 Enter – The church at Smyrna. The Lord had nothing but commendation for this church. They lived out their faith on a daily basis, but we need to see that the church of Smyrna was a much-persecuted church. What would it take to have you turn your back on Jesus? I’mContinue reading “Laodicea – The 21st Century American Church – Part 2”
Laodicea – the 21st Century American Church – Part 1
“I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” (Revelation 3:8) In this short series, we will examine briefly theContinue reading “Laodicea – the 21st Century American Church – Part 1”
