  • Into All The World

    At the closing of the gospels, Jesus gave one final instruction to His followers. He said, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” Those who stood in attendance understood the weight of His words. They knew the demand that the Lord had placed upon their lives. To the first church, nothing was higher…

  • Tragedy

    On this day twenty-two years ago the world was at peace. There were no major restrictions in travel; no fear of walking down the busy streets of most major cities. The day was just another mundane Monday in September. People were going about life as normal not knowing the greatest economic, geopolitical, and governmental shift…

  • We Need A Revival

    Looking back, it is clear to see the movement of our American society. In the mid 1900’s The Supreme Court ruled definitively against public religious expression. This division between Christian affiliation and public education was determined as far back as 1940, Cantwell v. Connecticut (1940) and Everson v. Board of Education of Ewing Township (1947).…

  • Wake Up

    Rom 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. According to recent surveys, the modern American spends a majority of their time seeking or experiencing entertainment. Numbers vary but the general consensus is that most are…

  • Divided

    Luke 11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. Jesus presented an axiom of truth when He spoke of a divided house. By deductive reasoning we can assume that a united house will not fall. In reference…

  • Noised Abroad

    When Peter and John stood before the pharisees’ council, they defended the healing of the lame man and their doctrine by saying, Acts 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Their statement reiterated two critical points. First, they had no other message than the one given. Secondly, they…

  • Pearl of Great Price

    Only twice in the Scripture is the word “pearl” found. The second describes the gate of Heaven. The first is located in the Lord’s parable concerning the Kingdom. Mat 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. The Lord’s message pertained to…

  • Lost At Sea

    In the black of night the ocean has an endless edge. Even professional sailors have no real expertise in managing those contemptible waters. Early this month, Donald Lawson, an experienced sailor, has been reported “lost at sea.” His 60ft Ocean Racing Multihull Association-class trimaran boat cannot be found. While the Coast Guard is covering a…

  • Lost In The House

    Three parables grade the pages of Luke chapter 15: The Lost Sheep; The Lost Coin; and The Lost Son. The sheep left the protection of the flock. The shepherd then responded by leaving the ninety-nine in search of the one. Jesus implies that only the one lost was in danger and the rest were secure.…

  • False Fronts

    In recent years, phone apps have been used to open portfolios of information or tools. The icon is the symbol which identifies the desired file, whether news, games, or some other area of interest. However, some icons do not reveal what is really behind them. For instance, an innocuous app may feature the image of…
