It’s like, all of us humans – we are in the box, all of us. We are all inside. God is outside. The question is: How on earth do we get outside – to be with God? Simple as that. There is a lot more to it, but that’s it.
Which Jesus do you serve?
By Brendon Powell There seems to be more than one Jesus to choose from these days. Which one is the true Jesus and who am I following? There’s a ‘seeker friendly’ Jesus: he’s the one who will not offend anyone in anyway. He loves everyone no mater what they do. There’s a ‘sow and reap’ […]
GOD vs. SCIENCE
GOD vs. SCIENCE -author unknown- A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students, “Let me explain the problem science has with religion.” The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. “You’re a Christian, aren’t you, son?” “Yes sir,” the […]
God Damned “Believers”
Almighty God has provided a very specific justice system to clear our name and our well-deserved verdict of “Guilty”. He has deemed that through a genuine faith in Jesus Christ – the sacrifice of His Son can make us worthy. Is your faith genuinely in the genuine Jesus? Have you been declared “worthy”, or are you still “guilty” before The Creator?
Reckless Faith
by John MacArthur as quoted at: http://apprising.org/2008/12/we-feel-homosexuality-is-not-a-sin/ Quotes from a neglected book, Reckless Faith, by John MacArthur: Neo-orthodoxy is the term used to identify an existentialist variety of Christianity. Because it denies the essential objective basis of truth—the absolute truth and authority of Scripture—neo-orthodoxy must be understood as pseudo-Christianity. Its heyday came in the middle of […]
Pray For Your Nation
-Billy Graham’s Prayer For His Nation ‘Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.

Research Accurately
Never forget that “researching” is all about finding the truth about a matter. Be careful not to get caught-up in the process and forget what is really true. Do you want what is real, or just a vapor in the wind? One factor is data, another is opinion, theory, and so-called “conclusions”. So much “intelligence” wasted […]
Punishment and Reward
Punishment and Reward …blog by Dennis Swick Sometimes parents can tell their child, “do this and you’ll get that.” This is a way of rewarding a child for good behavior. If the child behaves they might get ice cream as their reward. My son-in-law some times says to his 6 year old son, “if you […]
God is not the same as His Laws
A blog on the internet states, “The laws that govern the Universe must exist before the Universe, therefore…” But who said the laws that govern the universe must exist before the universe? If there was no universe, why would there need to be laws to govern it? To state this, one would have to say […]
God is Just
I have the impression looking at some information that I see, read in newspapers, or hear on the radio that people in general do not take seriously the fact that God is furious, shows indignation, and is angry about sin. And it is interesting to me that people in general do not like the word […]

Is it possible for God to be free?
Source: Based on part of Is God Free? …regarding “Freedom” Is it possible for God to be free if He is perfect in everything he does (Genesis 1:21) and He is perfect (1 Peter 1:16)! Thomas Aquinas, an Italian Catholic Philosopher of 1225 to 1274 A.D., argued that the mind of God is immutable (it […]
God and Man have free will with which to make a choice
Source: Based on part of Is God Free? Man has a free will with which to make a choice: (1) John 3:36 >> “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” Hebrews 11:24-25 >> “By […]
Should you forgive even though no confession is made?
Some say yes, that you should forgive those who do not ask forgiveness. Others say no, that the person should not be forgiven until they repent and then you can forgive them. Those that say you should forgive an unrepentant person use verses like Colossians 3:13 that say, “Bear with each other and forgive whatever […]
Giving of Tithes and Offerings

Letter to Danny
We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One. And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and we have to choose Truth over lies.
Inexplicable Joy
Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ. One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…
Biblical Homosexuality

No Faith In Heaven
Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.
False Prophets
“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?
Bentley – News on Todd Bentley
The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.
