To Heal and To Save
The first and the second miracles of Jesus are so very different. The first occurred at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Mary, the mother of Jesus, implored Him to do something on behalf of the bride and her father. Mary’s request came about in a single, nondescript sentence, “They have no more wine.” It […]

Echo
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. What shall we say about the never dying soul? Heaven and Hell occupy realms unknown to this temporal life. Whatever portrayal the artist may give, nothing can depict their distinct domains. Heaven and Hell are often minimized subjects given […]

Israel At War
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers […]

Build My Heart
To the casual reader, the credit for the first Temple would solely be given to Solomon. The scripture details the work of Solomon; his orders and his conscription of men. Hence, it was referred to as “Solomon’s” Temple. Even in modern times, the recognition of Israel’s most glamorous edifice sits squarely on his name. However, […]

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 […]
