IS YOUR ORDINATION HUMAN OR DIVINE?

"Who authorized John to carry on his ministry? Was his ordination human or divine? What credentials did he hold from Israel's leaders?" - Believer's Bible Commentary

"John was a man sent from God. His power came from divine enduement, not from human endorsement." - Believer's Bible Commentary

In Matthew 21:25, the Lord Jesus asked the chief priests and the elders a very direct question concerning John the Baptist's ministry - "The baptism of John, whence was it? from… Continue

A Father's Day Message from the Author of "Just a Season"

With Father’s Day upon us I wanted to share a few thoughts. First, let me start by saying that I was abandoned by the guy who was responsible for my being. However, I never have nor ever will call him my father because I never saw him as a man. Now, I understand that he did have the necessary equipment to procreate, which mean there is a difference between making a baby and being a father. Any male can create a life but it takes a unique soul to be a father because he acknowledges… Continue

WHY does God allow us to go through pain??

You may have heard this before and then again, maybe you haven't.

I for one believe this is one of the BEST explanations/ answers to the question....

WHY does God allow us to go through pain?

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.

They talked… Continue

So Have You Heard Any Great Gospel Music Lately?

Something is has gone wrong within the African American Gospel Music arena. Let me preface my comments by saying that I love gospel music. At present my favorite artist/group is Israel & New Breed. I also enjoy gospel music across lines of color. What is my present concern? The lack of Christocentric focus, vague and inconsistent lyrical content, and arrangements that do not help to usher my mind and soul into a state of worship.

I love worship music that causes all who are… Continue

:"We Are Entering into a Time of Acceleration on a Global Scale" The Apostles Are Emerging

Catherine Brown: -- "We Are Entering into a Time of Acceleration on a Global Scale"

"Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household, built on the foundations of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone."—Ephesians 2:19-20

I hear the Spirit of God saying that we are entering into a time of acceleration on a global scale. I also hear Him speaking about a building… Continue

The Truth Of The Matter Is Sin Feels Good.

There is nothing more satisfying than fulfilling the lust and desires of the flesh, oft times in our lives especially in our youth we are drown away in our own desires.we find ourselves wanting to taste, touch, and handle things that we have never experienced before. Most of which are things that we have been told to refrain or forbidden to do. being raised in an environment where you are taught the difference between right and wrong, but they never put much infaces on curiosity, and how to… Continue

The Word Works

"So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11).

If you only study one page on this section on evangelism, this page is it. Why? Because here is where you will learn three of the most important verses of evangelism: Isaiah 55:11; Rom. 1:16; and John 12:32.

Isaiah 55:11

Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall My word be which goes forth from My… Continue

Let His Love Flow...

The joy and peace of the Lord. I pray that all are walking in that which our Heavenly Father would have for you. That you are allowing His love to emcompass your being from the very depths of your soul, to your spirit man and beyond. Let not His love gone unseen as you encounter His children on a daily basis, for it is with His love that they shall be strengthened and encouraged to walk into that which He is calling… Continue

Trust God when He's untracable

There are times in our lives when God is untracable. It seems as though our situations are whirling out of control, and our enemies are celebrating over us. The question comes to mind...where is God? In Habakkuk 1:2 it says, "O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!" In Habakkuk's day it seemed as if the wicked was getting away with their evil ways. Judah was breaking God's law and nothing was being done (Habakkuk 1:4). It… Continue

The Cost of the Anointing

You should know that with everything you do there is a cost involved. This cost may not come out in the form of money, but every action, every decision you make, whether you do something or not, costs you. To be clear, inaction and indecision also costs you something. Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” OK, big deal, so what does this mean?

It means, if you push against a brick wall, you’re gonna get a brick wall pushing… Continue

Postponing Your Procrastination

Procrastination robs you of opportunities to be successful. You don't need to be a Christian to understand this point. This holds true for every human being — there is no successful person who is a procrastinator.

A chronic procrastinator knows not of a successful life. The following might be an accurate, yet unfortunate metaphor of life as we experience it. We are standing in the middle of a great circle filled with tasks, burdens, problems, annonyances and responsibilities that are… Continue

Pray for America

14.5 million Americans have no work or jobs, 12.3 children are hungry, and everyone knows someone who has lost their home to foreclosure. Our streets are war zones with gangs in rule, we respect nothing not human life and certainly not God.

We are constanly talking about the problems but what are we doing about them? We know God hears and answers prayer but are we praying? We must pray and pray like never before in public and come together as a nation of believers. We sing "God Bless… Continue

Starting Over With God

Do you ever wish you could just "start over" at a certain point or time in your life and erase all the mistakes and heartaches that you've suffered through? In the Bible, God told Jeremiah of such a place where this was possible, a land of beginning again. God revealed to Jeremiah, through the example of a potter and his clay, how He works to shape and mold His children into beautiful vessels fit not just for earthly use, but also for eternal use.

God is the master workman. Every day… Continue

Why go to chruch ?

Why Go To Church

A churchgoer wrote a letter to the editor of the newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me I can't remember a single one of them. So I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight… Continue

HAS THE CHURCH BEEN AN EFFECTIVE WITNESS

Has the church been an effective witness a question we must all answer as God's leaders, and being that we all have to answer; what will your answer be?

The church has been called to be an living testimonial (witness) to the world at large with a life style that sets (the church) apart even though not fully understood by the world. The true churches' life can not be understood, by the world using a natural mans mind. 1 Corinthians 2:10 - 16 (NLT) 10But it was to us (the… Continue

Don't Let your attitude steal your power

The Bible says To train up a child when he is young when he is old he will not depart from it.

We are commanded by God to train our children. Fathers have the responsibility to bring up their children in the fear and admonition of God. We the best we can , some of us, but still they find a way to do some crazy things.

It is important young people that you understand that even as a young child, you have a destiny in God, it is important to know that you have been called even from… Continue
