Like all Protestant churches built long years ago, no doubt the congregants of this one in my town would have confessed, proclaimed and sung, The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I will trust….. Psalm 18:2. In sermons and songs they would have had zero doubts as …

Satan Goes to Church
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake…… Matthew 10:22. In my 30-plus years as a Christian, that Scripture has not been among the favorites of preachers, teachers or evangelists I’ve sat under, unless they relegated it back to the apostles of Christ’s day, the martyrs of Foxe’s book or other persecuted Christians of yesteryear in …
Religious Child Abuse
I see atheist and Jesus Christ-denier Richard Dawkins’ claim that, “Teaching children to accept their families’ religious beliefs is child abuse,” is gathering support among like-minded atheists and Christ-deniers. Apart from knowing he is an atheist and Jesus Christ-denier, I know little else about Mr Dawkins. Many such people have come and gone before him with others waiting in the wings to take …
Keep Trampling!
Said the seventy disciples of Jesus to Jesus upon their return from ministry, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name Luke 10:17. When was the last time you heard your church leaders tell you demons are subject to you in Jesus name? Better still, when was the last time you actively confirmed that …
Siding with Immorality
Quote: “The meaning of the Scripture is the Scripture and if you don’t get the meaning right you don’t have the revelation.” – John MacArthur. If every Christian approached the Scriptures of the Bible with the truth of that statement in mind there would be far less confusion for all both in the church and …
Limit Yourself to the Bible
The Protestant Bible theologian asked the Roman Catholic priest, “Do you feel that a person can go to heaven apart from a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ?” The priest replied, “Definitely.” Handing him a Roman Catholic translation of the Bible, the theologian then asked the priest to cite a book or a chapter or …
Think of the Lord as Reality
Nearly thirty years ago I wrote a letter to a very dear friend testifying of my new-found faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Fourteen years later when we met again, he remained the same dear friend, but no mention was made of the letter. Five years after that we met again. This time he …
God Has a Doomsday Clock Too
I see the people at The Bulletin of the Atomic Sciences have kept their Doomsday Clock at 3 minutes to midnight for the second January in a row. “Doomsday Clock reflects grave threat to the world” is the headline of one media outlet. According to Wikipedia, “Concerns amid continued lack of global political action to address global …
Remember What We Were Like
In discussions with a Christian brother regarding these end times and the world’s increasing godlessness, he sometimes allows his frustrations to get the better of him. “Why can’t these people see it?” he asks. “Why are they so blind as to what’s going on in the world?” My response is not one he’s not heard numerous …
Their Nagging Conscience
In his sermon the pastor asked the church, “Why don’t people believe in Jesus?” Answer: “It’s not because there’s no evidence. It’s because they hate the light. The light exposes their sin.” Then he asked, “Why are people angry at Christians?” Answer: “We testify that their deeds are evil.” Praise God for such a pastor in this Laodicean …
