(Thanking God for the gifts of friendship He put in my life) I sometimes, and more often than before, think of the value of friends as something that we don’t protect and cherish as much as we ought taking those relationships as just the common flow of life… but, with age, I have come to […]

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 […]
Real Holiness Will Make You Tremble!
Isaiah 6:1-7 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he […]
Anointing is Not Always a Divine Anointing
I have, through time in the ministry, witnessed some unmistakable manifestations of Satan. I have seen people wither on the floor like snakes and small individuals throw several large men around like rag dolls among other various exhibitions. These people manifested strength and abilities not their own but were clearly the workings of the enemy. No doubt, […]
Men To Match The Times
Irving Stone created an interwoven pageant of historical stories of the great westward drive which, in a few rousing decades, settled a continent and gave the United States dimensions of which its founders hardly dreamed. Stone titled his work, “Men to Match My Mountains” which was taken from the poem “The Coming American” by Sam […]
The Bridge Builder
An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And […]
The Pulpit – Open or Respected?
First, it is clear that there is no such thing as “an open pulpit.” We realize what the phrase was meant to convey, but in reality there is no such thing as a pulpit that is truly open to any and all doctrines, ideas, philosophies and arguments. No true preacher of the gospel would allow […]
Worship Without Understanding
Acts 17:22-31 In contrast to what many may think, it is very possible to worship that which we don’t understand or, maybe, even know. The Bible clearly illustrates that certain men may, and do, worship without understanding: – According to Jesus: The Samaritans were doing so, John 4:22. – According to Paul: The Athenians were […]
