Easter? Constantinian or Christian?

Our Savior said in:

Matt. 28: 19 - 20

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.........Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.

Since Easter is one of the major holidays of the Christian church, I'd love for someone to post the text where our Messiah or His apostles commanded their listeners/readers to observe Easter, especially with a new outfit, Sunrise service, accompanied with the Easter bunny who brings the Easter Eggs.

If you… Continue

MONEY AND THE BELIEVER

There is not one example of anyone tithing MONEY to anyone in the entirety of the Bible! The only reference to "money" with regards to tithing has absolutely nothing to do with paying tithes ON money. It is found in Deut. 14:24-26, which we shall now read in it’s entirety:

"And if the way be too long for thee [to the place where God placed His name to be worshipped, especially during the fall feast harvest of tabernacles] so that you are not able to carry it [the tithe of their farm… Continue

"WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE IN CHRIST'S RESURRECTION"

It has been well established that Jesus Christ was executed in Judea, under the leadership of Pontius Pilate, by means of crucifixion. The non-Christian accounts of Flavius Josephus, Cornelius Tacitus, Lucian of Samosata, Maimonides and the Jewish Sanhedrin confirms the early Christian eyewitness accounts of these important historical aspects of the death of Jesus Christ.

Here are a few lines of evidence which favor His resurrection.

Early Christian apologist cited… Continue

Forgetting the Past

" I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize.

My friends, I don't feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead. "

- Phil. 3:12-13 CEV

Take Time Out and Laugh-Check out Mike Gee Comdey Gospel Fest 2

It is time that we take a few minuets out for yourself and just breath! I have been doing so much ministry work with the Prison Reform Drop the Rock, speaking on television, rallies, churches, colleges and operating my other 4 ministries that I was in the burn out mode. There is never enough time in the day to do all the things we want to do for God.

One of my members had brought me tickets to go to a gospel comedy fest. At first I told her I, needed to go in the studio and work on… Continue

Who Are You...Really?

Have you ever sat in the pew and really looked at the person next to you? I don't mean look at their physical appearance or what they are wearing. You and they have been attending the same church and seating in the same pew for month or years. You have praised and prayed with this person (these people); you know their children and extended family; and with them you’ve shared experiences, recipes and tears. But today you look at the person(s) and wonder, who is this person or these people… Continue

Will You Be Ready?

Wednesday night (04/08/2009) I had a vision and in the vision it was about 6:00pm, evening time. I was standing on the top of a hill which was hidden by the trees. The trees was tall with short branches and covered with pine needles on the upper area of the tree. I heard a call within my spirit to turn to the east and as I turned to the east, I looked up towards the sky. Darkness began to cover the earth and a tornado began to form in the sky and it hit the ground, coming through the trees. I… Continue

"WHO IS JESUS, AND WHO ARE WE IN CHRIST JESUS"

SAVIOR, the name prophesied and given to Christ when He was born to Mary (Matthew 1: 21; Luke 1:31). Jesus is the the divine Son of God; He is God the Son (Matthew 3:17). He existed and was active with God for the Father in creation (Colossians 1:15-16).

His earthly Ministry began when He was about thirty years old and lasted for three years (Luke 3:23). In obedience to God the Father, Jesus lived a sinless life, suffered for mankind (Ephesians 1:4; Philippians 2:5-11). God raised… Continue

GIVING VERSUS TITHING

Do any of these Scripture references quoted above regarding voluntary giving, have anything to do with "tithing?" Absolutely not. Notice what the definition of Christian tithing is:

"tithe (tith) n. 1a. A tenth part of one’s annual income contributed voluntarily or due as a tax, esp. for the support of the clergy or church." (The American Heritage College Dictionary, p. 1444).

Tithing was commanded by the LAW.

Giving is voluntary from the HEART.

Festivals the Early Christians Observed

Festivals the Early Christian Observed

In the New Catholic Encyclopedia Jack finds this candid admission:

"The earliest Christians did not immediately disassociate themselves from the observance of the Jewish feasts. Many references in the NT [New Testament] indicate that Jesus and His disciples, as well as the early Palestinian Christian communities, observed the Sabbath and the major annual festivals"

(New Catholic Encyclopedia, Early… Continue

Spring Cleaning what does God say about it?

Spring cleaning, where did the idea of cleaning out ones house come from? Why is it such a part of American tradition during that time of the year? Each year after the weather has subsided you hear a buzz, spring is coming. Is it something in the DNA that compels the women of the house to do a thorough cleaning? The question is clean out what? Is it coincidental that it is written in 17 books (1+7=8 new beginnings) and 42… Continue
