I went back to my hometown, Lancaster, Ohio, Sunday to take part in a sunrise non-denominational Easter service on top of Mount Pleasant (250-foot (76 m) high sandstone bluff called "Standing Stone" by earlier Native American peoples.)  The service is a local tradition back to 1929.  Growing up my family always attended, followed by a (weather permitting) first picnic of Spring, than the cities Easter-egg hunt in the park below.  I only missed a few years when in the Marines and college in…

We all know what the past few days were about. They were about death, but more important they were about Life. They cannot be separated, for to us as Christians, to have one we must have the other. So what does today mean? What does the day after Easter really mean? Well, one thing I see is, to accept the Life we have been given. By that I mean, to put away the things that brought us death, and focus on a life that is about Jesus and others. To operate in the Spirit and the Gifts Our Father…

Hello, my friends . . . 

The truth of our Savior's last week is critical in our teaching and preaching truth rather than "tradition of men".

In the 1800s, great scholars such as E.W. Bullinger of the Companion Bible published several articles proving the the meal our Messiah took, the night He was betrayed,  was not the Passover.  



Many famous Bible teachers have also published articles supporting…

Matt. 28:1-6

In the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel…

CHILD  OF DESTINY

This brings our thoughts to a predestined person with a special mission to be accomplished by the end of that span of life.

There was such a CHILD OF DESTINY, OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.  There were many prophecies about His miraculous birth, His sinless life of love and miracles, His sufferings and crucifixion, His death and burial, His resurrection, His ascension into heaven and His promise to come again.  Jesus Christ was…

Have you ever wondered why God may not be blessing you as much as you think he should? It could be because you've become a reservoir for God's blessings, rather than a channel.…

Hello, this is about Spiritual Egypt and how it talks about in the Bible, some videos, pictures and scriptures.

Coming Back to Jesus

“Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus saw his mother there, and the…

Today as I was reading in John chapter 18 and 19, I saw a few things that I would like to share. Here in John 18:1 1 When He had finished praying,... we see Jesus in complete control. It was after He had finished Praying, then He went to meet those who arrested Him.

4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you…

Parents are over come by fear and emotional turmoil when a telephone ring echoes extremely loud while incredibly close during the darkest hour of a night.  In a split second the mind is consumed with every negative conceivable thought known to man. It is always a blessing as well as a relief to find out all is well or better yet a person had dialed in error the wrong…

I have several words in the Word that brings comfort & joy to my heart. “Holy” is one of those words. The very second we use the word “holy” in any song, I lose it. Holy is something we will never understand but yet are called to strive to be that way. Abide is a very comforting & soothing word as well. Behind the comfort stands the strong and precious Cross. The very strength that provides freedom for my very soul if I only trust and believe in the saving power of my first…

"Praying through" is a term coined by the early Pentecostals. To some it

meant simply staying on your knees until you were assured you had an answer

from God. To others it meant continually coming back to the Lord until you had

the answer in hand. (This was also called "persevering in prayer.")



As a young boy in those early camp meetings, I heard people testify, "I'm going

to lay hold of the horns…

Lord, increase my faith.

While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you."…

Renewing Your Mind…

I once talked with a woman who said she tried very hard to think only positive thoughts, but she was never able to keep it up for long. Even when she managed to appear optimistic, inwardly she was often in turmoil. Her self approach to positive thinking excluded GOD, so when things went wrong she didn’t have anything solid to hold on to… That may seem paradoxical--- faith in God being something substantial---…

It is FINISHED…..





Remembering our Jesus Christ in the CROSS is not seasonal but it must be our LIFESTYLE…

For we were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body(1 Cor.6:20). Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: "Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on…
