How I Do Grieve.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
God has no pleasure in the death of any man. For we are all made in His likeness and in His image. We morn, and grieve, over the death of a loved one, I myself have grieved many times. It is a hard thing to lose someone that you halved loved all your life.
We are heartbroken by a loss, but some take it harder than others. We must…

Of Blood and Sacrifice.
The Body cannot live without the blood. If you had a perfect body and you would change the blood to clear water, the body would die. Why? The life of the Body is the Blood. The same thing applies to the body of a Christian and also, the Church as a whole. Without the Blood, the Body would die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an…

Why yet am I also Judged as a Sinner?
In these end days we see controversy after controversy. The Bible is clear on those that will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but when a man, who is called by God, preaches these things he is accosted, persecuted and called a sinner.
“For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we…

Many, in these end days, are accusing the Christian community of hate for gay and lesbian couples. This idea is wrong, we do not hate but fear for their souls. Here is the question that many are asking;”Can a gay man, or lesbian woman, be a Christian?” The Bibles answer is no.
“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of…

The Scoffers.
To scoff; “To treat with insolent ridicule, mockery or contumelious language; to manifest contempt by derision; with at. To scoff at religion and sacred things is evidence of extreme weakness and folly, as well as of wickedness.”
There are certain parallels in these end days to the truth of the scriptures. There are many that are scoffing at the Christians that say, Christ is returning soon. Jesus stated that He would return, when all is fulfilled, and…

Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?
The Son of man, The Son of God, all in one, never separated, never to die again. This is the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the troublesome times many are asking, “Will Jesus Return?” This is also in the prophecies of the scripture. We, as Christian, know that Jesus will return, but the multitudes are asking for proof. We have no proof except our faith in God and His word. Is it so hard to believe that Jesus will return? Is it so hard to…

Power and the End Days Church.
Power is something that we all have been used to living with. For electrical power to reach the out most homes we use a booster, for as the electricity flows further from its source of origin it gets weaker, the same thing happens to water pressure. This is the way of transferring power from one source to another.
Many people ask the same question over and over again, Why can't we do, or why can't we see, the power of God working in our…

What I have done.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the door, and no man enters except threw, and by Him. He is the one that opens the door and who then shuts the Door, Christ. When the door is shut, what manner of man can open it? No one can, for only Jesus has the power to open a shut door.
We are not saved by our works but only by grace, threw faith. What I have done cannot open a shut door. Many enjoy a good Christian singer, sometimes they bring about inspiration and…

For our light Affliction.
This life is full of fear and problems. Many people around the world are eager to hear the Gospel,of Jesus Christ, preached.

Many are and will continue to suffer for the sake of preaching, this we all must endure, for salvation is Gods will for all mankind. God…

Bang, Bang,Your Dead.
Zechariah 14:1-14:12 Preaching the Gospel is an exciting adventure into the past, present and future. Many believe that humanity will continue at its present rate and eventually come together in peace and love. I’m sorry to say that this is just another lie from the father of all lies, Satan. Man is destined to die, no matter what, age, race, color, weather they be rich or poor.
Death will not be denighed. As a child, I believe that many of you played…

Honestly, please, how can I possibly believe in god?
Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Believe; To credit upon the authority or testimony of another; to be persuaded of the truth of something upon the declaration of another, or upon evidence furnished by reasons, arguments, and deductions of the mind, or by other circumstances, than personal knowledge. When we believe upon the authority of another, we always put…

The Silence of the Lambs.
And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.” And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, “Master, rebuke thy disciples.” And he answered and said unto them, “I tell you…

Salvation is of the Jews.
“Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” There are many in this world that have called for the destruction of the Jews, its Nation and peoples. We know by Biblical accounts that The Land and People of Israel, are Gods chosen people. So then the question is, why are they rejected at this time and why are the gentile people now a people again chosen by God to be included in the saving grace? The Children of Israel…

Hell and The Wrath of God.
“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” As we enter a day of decisions, and conflicts, over religions, we are assured, and enlightened, into the assurance of Gods wrath against all who refuse to believe upon His only begotten Son. Gods wrath will be…
