When I think of such situations that is the subject of this thread, mainly preacher hypocrisy, I recall an tidbit I once read concerning the Queen Mary – the vessel. The Queen Mary was the largest ship to cross the oceans when it was launched in 1936. Through four decades and a world War she […]

The More About Perfection We Grasp – The More About Imperfection We Fail To Grasp
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Psalms 50:2 There existed a time in the history of mankind when the amount of darkness that could be lighted by the flame of candle light would have been understood as the ultimate amount and life revolved around that degree of enlightenment but with the […]
An Unconscious Conscious
1Ti 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” Far too many people have an unconscious conscience. Most people seem to think that their conscience […]
Gospel Scammers…. they promise much…. but provide less…..
I’ve been both fascinated and frustrated about something for several years now. Have you noticed how companies are shrinking the size of their products while keeping the packaging the same?

An Inauspicious Entry and an Inhuman Exit for a King
Many preachers romanticize the birth of Jesus Christ beyond reality. They erect and present nativity scenes which have a way of making the birth of Jesus Christ more fairy tale than fairly told. What Jesus Christ, as God manifest in the flesh, endured at Bethlehem’s manger was to enter a world of harsh realities—a common, […]
The Real Christmas Story
— AT ONE MENT — Leviticus 16 outlines the work of Redemption in the Day of Atonement. John wrote in Revelation chapter thirteen and verse 8 that the Lamb of God “was slain from the foundation of the world.” Before God had created the world, before He set the stars in place, before He breathed […]
To Guard Your Lips is to Guard Your Life
Psalms 12:4 states the boast of men who have become greatly deceived about the ownership of their lips and words, listen as they say; “Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?” KJV It is apparent that these deluded ones have also forgotten the […]
