Tell God

Like many young boys of my era growing up, I smoked my first full cigarette at around ten years of age and I loved it. By the time I was fifteen they were very much part of my life and remained so until I was almost forty.  Especially did I love them when drinking alcohol.   Just a …

The TRUE One True Church

A young man recently informed me that I was, “doing a good job presenting your religious (radio)  program every Sunday.”  Upon thanking him, I asked him if he was a Christian.  Quickly he responded, “Of course.  I am a Catholic!”  I then asked him if he personally knew the Lord Jesus for himself and going by …

I Spoke to The Weather

The month of November is springtime in our part of the world and although it is a most popular season for young people to celebrate their wedding, one cannot always be sure on the day that the weather will deliver what is desired.  For most of us that includes no rain, a comfortable temperature, coupled with a fine, sunny sky.  I’m not …

I Felt the Presence of the Lord Powerfully

The moment I first experienced the reality and power of the Lord Jesus Christ in my life I knew that He was nothing at all like the Jesus I had imagined for over thirty years.  Until that encounter, the Jesus of my imagination was very religious, joyless, still suffering for my sins, intolerant of freedom, rules based, …

He Was more Religious than Real

Back in the days when I was a gospel messenger out on the streets of my local community, rarely would too much time pass before I would get to experience the practical reality, revelations and power of the Lord Jesus Christ as He ministered in some-one’s life.  It was always an awesome thing for me to …

God Wants our Being before Our Doing

A friend made a comment on one of my blog posts recently, highlighting that, “Fear not is one of, if not THE most commonly used phrase in God’s word.”  Not having thought of it like that, I decided to get my concordance out and check.  My friend is right. Using them in their correct context, the words “fear …

Only Two Churches

Sitting with a friend discussing Christianity over dinner recently, he asked me why I was using the phrases, “biblical Christianity” and the “biblical Lord Jesus Christ” when explaining some of my beliefs to him with regards our subject.  He said, “I thought all Christian practice was based on the Bible.”  If only it was that …

It Was not the Jesus of The Bible

Imagine yourself sitting with a friend having coffee or lunch enjoying each other’s company and he then mentions the name of a mutual friend that he caught up with recently.  But as he begins to describe the nature and character of that person, you are wondering if he is talking about the same one, because what you are hearing is totally

He said, “Don’t Seek the Approval of Man.”

In the last institutionalized church system I was associated with, among the various rosters we had was the Communion or Lord’s Supper speaker’s roster.  A half-dozen people were on it, the idea being that before we partook of the elements each week, the speaker would bring a five to ten-minute message in order to prepare us for the relevance of …

Manipulative Practices in The Church

Back in March 1987 when I first began to do systematic Bible studies I was simply amazed to be learning of the nature and character of God Almighty, Who was revealing Himself to me in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ using a book – or sixty-six books, known as the Bible. No greater miracle is there in all …
