Rebellion
When we become confident in our own thinking and rationalization to justify disregarding God’s commandments.
Be Sober and Watchful
Many people do not believe in Satan and some people say that Jesus killed Satan at the cross. 1Peter was written after Jesus dies on the cross. It is a warning concerning Satan that also says that God allows the suffering that our adversary creates. It says we need to be serious because this adversary [...]
Important for people that “Believe”
Have you been told in church that reciting a prayer that says you “welcome Jesus to be the Lord of your life” or that if you “believe in Jesus”, you are saved…. guaranteed 100% saved? I cringe when I hear that in church because so many people say a prayer and walk away believing that [...]
Win Your Battles
How do you fight a battle without knowing your enemy? When a war is fought you prepare for victory, not stay ignorant for failure. The requirement for winning a battle is having a defeated foe. I hear Ministers/Pastors talk about the adversary or our enemy. Some will use the word Satan as the name of [...]
Sin in the Church Leader
I have been reading a lot about how the Catholic Church has failed us and about how promising ministers/Pastors have fallen into sin.

Yoga which was developed to be used in Hinduism to achieve union with the Hindu concept of God. Just knowing [...]
Let’s get REAL.
A true Christian has a RELATIONSHIP with Christ. What does 1John say about a relationship with Him, your brother and the world? 1Jn 1:6 "If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. " 1Jn 2:4 "Whoever says “I know him” but does [...]
TO BE SAVED We Must Believe….To be Saved
There are about 100 passages in the Bible that address Salvation. Of those 17 (NASB) identities a condition that must be satisfied before being saved. The perquisite to Salvation is to “Believe”. Without “Belief” there is no righteousness and no salvation. John 11:25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he [...]
What Does It Mean To Believe
(John 3:16) "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Many people take this scripture and say ,“I believe that there is or was a Jesus” so therefore, I have eternal life. This is faulty thinking. The problem [...]
