Pearl of Great Price
The Field. It has been defined in several ways: The place of harvest; a wilderness; the proving ground; the world. I cannot describe it completely, only to say that it is both literal and figurative. In the field is where Jesus said a great treasure was found. He called it “the pearl of great price.” […]

25 Years!
Twenty-five years ago, Tami and I walked into New Life Tabernacle with a smile on our faces. The congregation welcomed us with open arms as we entered with purpose. The vision was grand and somewhat overwhelming, but we believed in a God “which calleth those things which be not as though they were!” How honored […]

The Spirit of the Age
The pressing of the times is often referred to as “The spirit of the age.” The initial chapters of Genesis entail God’s plan for mankind which include obedience, marriage, headship, and dominion. God made Adam and Eve to function in harmony. They were male and female. The earth was their domain and they were to […]

Eleventh Hour
Mat 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. The parables of Jesus are found in the Gospels.

Angel of Light
In the process of warning the saints in Corinth, Paul speaks about false teachers and deceitful “workers” which either changed the original Gospel message found in Acts 2:38 or used it as a tool to gain personal influence. These false teachers presented themselves as “good people” with pleasant dispositions. Paul likened these false believers to […]

Remember
There is an open field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania which hosts a story of heroism. I’ve walked the field to discover a large rock which marks this nondescript place. Beneath the boulder was a massive hole where United Airlines Flight 93 found its resting place. If you stand at the rock and look back, you’ll […]

If God Be For Us
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing […]

He Knew Me
This writing may be a bit truthful for the average Christian. I want to warn you upfront just in case you decide to keep an anti-God opinion. Both Pew Research and Guttmacher Institute provide the consequences of abortion in the United States. Since 1973, the legal practices of abortion have killed 63,495,781 babies. Most of […]
