Love your neighbor...

If I am putting others before myself, then by that action, sin will not be present...

If I get drunk on alcohol, I am not putting others before myself, I am not concerned with those who I love,

or with those who love me.

If I steal, I am not caring for the people I am stealing from, or for those who love me.

If I lie...

If I cheat...

Adultery...

Etc...

I hope this is understandable. This is my docterine for… Continue

REDISCOVERING THE KINGDOM LIFE

Part 1: Why Rediscovering the Kingdom of God.

Introduction:

To rediscover something means that the thing used to be, but now is lost – it is one message Satan will not allow the church to preach. Matt. 13: 8.

Why does Satan hate the message of the kingdom of God? This is what he lost in heaven – therefore he never wants you and I to enter there.

What man lost in the Garden of Eden was a kingdom – that means the kingdom life was lost.

Bible said God… Continue

Jesus: The Lion of Judah

Hosea 5: 4, “For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away and none shall rescue him.”

Jesus isn’t just the “meek and mild” Savior that many imagine Him to be.

He is the Lion of Judah, and, as such, He shares some of the lions traits:

He powerful and strong; unrelenting and uncontrollable. He is harsh and outspoken when it comes to God’s Truth. He is prone to righteous anger… Continue

FOOD FOR OUR SOUL

MAKE SOMEONE DAY EVERYDAY

Let us be our brother?s keeper. Reach out to that stranger across the street and say hi. You may never know but maybe saying hi to him and telling him that Jesus loves him is all that he needs to hear in order to change his life. Maybe he was going to kill himself for he was feeling rejected and ignored by the whole world. When somebody we hardly know reaches out to us with kindness, it leaves us feeling good about ourselves. Why don?t you let somebody go… Continue

The Loneliness of the Christian

by A. W. Tozer

The loneliness of the Christian results from his walk with God in an ungodly world, a walk that must often take him away from the fellowship of good Christians as well as from that of the unregenerate world. His God-given instincts cry out for companionship with others of his kind, others who can understand his longings, his aspirations, his absorption in the love of… Continue

RAMBLING: BILLY

This afternoon, around supper time, we got hit hard with a rain storm, wind along with thunder and lightening. Just brfore the rain hit us full force I looked out my living room window and to my surprise I saw Billy. Now Billy is a black squirrel, who along with Charlie a gray squirrel, come to my window ledge on the third floor of my apartment building to enjoy their daily helping of peanuts. Now Billy was determined in spite of the high winds to enjoy his meal and would not allow the wind,… Continue

Modesty: A Woman's Perspective

Dear Sisters In Christ,

My heart breaks for you as I write this. Most of you have been raised in the church or at least with Christian influences. Yet, most of you either don’t understand or haven’t been taught God’s heart on the issue of modest. In today’s society, it’s nothing to see women scantily dressed as they go to the mall or the grocery store. While it shows a disrespect for themselves and those about them, it’s to be expected from someone who is spiritually lost.… Continue

GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES

"The New Testament records that the Lord Jesus said, 'Heaven and earth shall pass away; but My words shall not pass away' (Luke 21:33). The promises of God will be kept..." - Plain Talk On Isaiah

There is a powerful promise found in Isaiah 54:10 which says - "For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee."

This is what God is… Continue

The Evidence of being Born Again.....

The Evidence of being Born Again…….

By Lahry Sibley

A common phrase among those churches that refer to themselves as “Pentecostal” is the saying “baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues”. Whether you are Pentecostal or not, if you are active in a church or watch so called “Christian TV”, you have probably heard this term.

The validity of this statement or phrase is scripturally argumentative in and of itself. But that is not… Continue

RAMBLING: THE CITY

RAMBLING: THE CITY

I live in a city and I don't like it! In fact I don't like any city and I have lived in several both here in Canada and in the USA. What is it about cities I don't like? I find most cities are dirty (except of course those areas designated as tourist attractions), noisy, polluted, crime, corruption, prostitutes, johns, drugs, drunks, smelly, rudeness, traffic, construction, streets in need of repair,....well you get the picture. I would prefer to live in the… Continue

Spirits. . . Holy vs. Evil

Acts 19.8-20 8Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord. God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so… Continue

False Professors

Dear Friends,

One of the most difficult things for “believers” to do, is to take an honest look within. It’s easy to “examine” others, but what about us? After all, on judgment day, our own personal account will be under very close scrutiny, without deception, nothing hidden. Everything will be laid open and bare. So I would think it better to take a look now, than later.

I’m going to ask you to do something that will take a lot of courage on your part. I’m going to ask you to read… Continue

The Center....

The CENTER...

The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118

And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8

What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?

It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8

I Can Do No Other

Matthew 7: 22, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast our devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

The typical church in America today has abandoned the Bible as the only measure of truth. We have prostituted ourselves by welcoming the world and its ways into our daily lives and into our churches. Where holiness… Continue

One Of The Hated

I Chronicles 16: 9, “Give unto the Lord the glory due His name: bring an offering and come before Him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.”

Life isn’t about us, it’s about God. Although God created this world for us to inhabit and enjoy, it isn’t about us. The heavens declare His glory, not ours. This world shows forth His handiwork. The ultimate point of our life on earth isn’t to have fun but to know God. There is no other reason to exist. The sad thing is that most people… Continue

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?

Has there ever been a time when evil was so rampant? It seems that many are crying out - "Can it get any worse than this?"

People are sin-sick. Their hearts are hardened and more wicked than ever. Never in the history of mankind have there been such bizarre acts of crime and violence

The sad commentary is that there is as much wickedness in the Church as in the world. The Preachers are playing "Brain Surgeon" when what is so desperately needed is for a "Heart Specialist"… Continue

Our God will meet all our needs

“God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So you can be even more sure that God will clothe you.

Don't have so little faith! Don't worry ( to be anxious, distracted ) and say, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'

The people who don't know God keep trying to get these things, and your Father in… Continue
