Why I Don't Believe We Can "lose" Eternal Life

When we are saved we become a new creation, according to 2 Cor. 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” This is the new state of being resulting from the action of the new birth. Where the new birth emphasizes the radical transformation we undergo, the new creation emphasizes the radical new person we become. How is it possible to become an old creation once again? Can we be uncreated? Now if we had any… Continue

My Dear Sisters and Brothers thank you for your outpour of confirmation on the Easter message of tribute to our Lord - God Bless You.

Easter Is Pagan Not Christian At All And Has Nothing To Do With Christ

Easter is a day that is honered by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The holiday often involves a church service at sunrise, a feast which includes an "Easter Ham", decorated eggs and stories about rabbits.

Those who love truth learn to ask questions, and many questions must be asked regarding the holiday of Easter.

Is it truly the day when Jesus arose from the dead? Where did all of the strange… Continue

Is anybody in a fight?

I have just had to come to the stark realization that I am who I am, and for whoever don't like it because I wear too much pink, I don't sing like you, worship like you, dress like you, dance like you, pray like you, make the money you make, believe like you, I am who I am. I am living my life without apology. I will not apologize for being who God has made me to be. If he can take a doubter like Thomas and make him a disciple, a pauper like… Continue

The Five-fold Ministry Gifts

Apostles are leaders and visionaries... they bring direction to the church. They have the courage and ability to keep the Church moving forward, growing, and building in new directions. Apostles are also fathers, able to nurture and disciple the other ministry gifts. They have maturity and experience beyond their fellows and can give guidance as well as leadership. They wear the Helmet of Salvation, which means they walk "within" salvation. They know the mysteries of Christ's salvation. Such… Continue

May God Continue To Bless You To Spread The Gospel In Your Own Unique Way

In this season of Easter how better could we pay tribute to the memory of The Father’s Divine Sacrifice and The Son’s Undying Love:

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up*"

(IThessalonians 5:11).

God designed us to live in relationship with others. He wants us to

help each other grow. None of us will reach our highest potential by

ourselves. We need people in our lives to encourage us, and we need to

encourage the people in… Continue

"What are the origins of Easter?" The origins of Easter are rooted in European (Not Biblical) Traditions.

"What are the origins of Easter?"

Answer: The origins of Easter are rooted in European traditions. The name Easter comes from a pagan figure called Eastre (or Eostre) who was celebrated as the goddess of spring by the Saxons of Northern Europe. A festival called Eastre was held during the spring equinox by these people to honor her. The goddess Eastre’s earthly symbol was the rabbit, which was also known as a symbol of fertility. Originally, there were some very… Continue

Where Did the Idea of the Easter Bunny Come From?

Where Did the Idea of the Easter Bunny Come From?

When you think about it, the Easter Bunny is an odd tradition to be associated with a Christian holiday. Just where did the idea of the Easter Bunny come from? The history of this tradition comes from a few different places, but at the center of each tradition is a recognition of spring as a time of fertility and rebirth.

The Goddess and the Rabbit

Easter itself is an adapted holiday that was based on… Continue

Why the Custom of eating an "Easter HAM"????

Why the Custom of eating an "Easter HAM"????

All students of the Bible know that eating Pork is an abomination to our Creator. So why do you think you can celebrate a day devoted to His honor be eating something that He calls an abomination???

Scholars will tell you that the vision of Peter in Acts 10, had nothing to do with permitting us to eat "unclean meat", rather it was an object lesson to Peter showing him that the Gentiles being "called by YHWH… Continue

My Job Has Pulled the Rug From Under Me!

My Job Has Pulled the Rug Out From Under Me! This is a cry that so many are saying on a daily basis. Many are wondering how can this job which I gave my all to for so many years pull the rug out from under me? The economic downturn has led to massive layoffs, and many of those that are gainfully employed have found themselves nervous on a daily basis about the status of their jobs. One's job doesn't only provide income, for many it gives one a sense of identity and accomplishment. In this… Continue

The Good life

The Good life

I walk the streets of life searching, looking in the faces of others trying to find that little piece of love and acceptance sown so often. With longing eyes and a craving heart, I pore over each glance, smile and frown hoping to see, what I pray others see in me. That place for those who are hurting and lost. A refuge of peace in the eye of the storm of selfishness, hurt, exclusion, judgement and rejecting. Diligently I explore the masses… Continue
