God is on the move, in many places around the world today. One place he is moving is among Muslims in Southeast Asia. I have a friend who is a Pastor that has asked for prayer for new members of the faith - who are standing for Christ in the country where he ministers; it's a country that persecutes people who "convert" to Christianity.

There is an urgent issue that I would ask every believer to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ - 

My friend the Pastor has…

What is our responsibility to the government? Paul closed out Romans 12 with a list of the concrete ways we ought to love one another, and promote harmony within the family of God. Now he turns his attention to instruct Christians living under the rule of a secular government.



Paul writes: Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities…

Human is sinful in nature.

There is no one righteous,  not even one.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.

Our Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross so the sinners could live in righteousness, according to His grace and mercy.

God has given us the Scriptures so we could have an instruction for righteousness.

Reading, understanding and doing Gods word is the key to…

"But if we walk in the light, we have fellowship w/ one another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:7  Darby Bible  Thank You Father

Lord Jesus, With your help I can make it . Father I get discouraged at times , I prayer,  help me not give up. Father I thank you for your son

Revelation 9 

¹And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 

²And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. 

³And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the…

Are you hearing from select Christians who are talking about watching the signs of the times and watching for the return of Jesus our Savior to take His bride?  How does it make you feel to hear these things?  Does it make you roll your eyes at them, or are you intrigued and want to hear more?  Are you ready to hear these things, or is it something you would rather not talk about?  Are these select…

Today I had the opportunity to again read aloud Paul’s mandate for loving well. . . I looked at three different versions of the same passage, and here is yet another.  Before we turn the page, and look at Romans chapter 13, I must ask you—how are you doing with loving well? …

Revelation Chapter  8 

 ¹And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. 

²And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 

³And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the…

Hoops they have made hoop;s for my Christian walk.

Spend all that time on what You can't do.

Some have made lists, they number them.

To be a Christian you can't do all these things.

They would have stoned the women,

The women who Jesus chose not to condemed.

Yes, there are sin's the number is great.

If you are a spokesman for Him, tell them this.

To love God before all & then your brother before yourself.

Tell them about…

Is it possible to live simply in the 21^st century?  And would you, if you could?  The whole notion of living simply I find quite appealing, which is why I am sure Robert Fulghum’s poem warms my heart.  ‘All I Really Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten…  Share everything.  Play fair.  Don’t hit people.  Put things back where you found them.  Clean up your own mess.  Don’t take things that aren’t yours.  Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.  Wash your hands before you…

Revelation Chapter  7 

¹And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 

²And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt…

M. Scott Peck, Psychiatrist, wrote a few books, one of them entitled "People of the Lie."  He said that "humanity . . . is locked in a titanic struggle between the forces of good and evil, between God and the devil.  The battleground of this struggle is the individual human soul."  He said the only question of significance is whether the individual soul will be won to God or won to the devil.
