Truth about christmas

Should a Christian Celebrate Christmas?

There is no Biblical warrant, precedent, nor precept for remembrance of the day of Christ's birth as a day of special religious celebration. This is not to say that we shouldn't remember Christ's birth and its significance, but for religious commemorations or celebrations, we must have Biblical command or precedent! The fact of the matter is this -- the early church did not celebrate Christ's birth, but such celebration only came into the church with… Continue

Christmas A Holiday, A Season, or a Lifestyle?

Christmas…A Holiday, A Season, or a Lifestyle?

The angel said to them [the shepherds] “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people”. Luke 2:10

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”…the words to a song I heard on the radio a short time ago. As I was out walking Angel Joy this afternoon, sure enough the song was right. Around the neighborhood many houses were quite festive with their lights, decorations and greenery. It was indeed… Continue

GLOATING

From My Perspective - - -

At times, we have all had to struggle with an inner urge to “gloat” over someone or some matter. When a person has been arrogant towards another and then miscues, it would be so easy to gloat because that one has performed in an otiose (ineffective or futile; superfluous or useless) manner. Gloating is: “a feeling of great, often malicious, pleasure or self-satisfaction.” We attribute such moments to our “human nature” which, if left unchecked, can be… Continue

The family of God

I cannot help but note and appreciate the warmth and openness that God provides through His son Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit and which is manifested in the people who have accepted Him. I always feel uninhibited and joyous when am associating with other Christians because we have nothing to hide and of course the sweetness of the Word of God. So am feeling now when I feel accepted and energized by the messages in this online community.

That amazing love creates in me great confidence… Continue

HOW TO GET ANSWERS FROM GOD

I was scared to death. But I got the Bible I got on the floor, I was fasting I already knew that much. Any way For the next 6 weeks I fast and prayed alot. When the 6 weeks were up I had a 98 average in English. I did not have to take the test for the end of the quarter. I was BLOWN AWAY. The other kids got so… Continue

Sin... It's a Terrible Thing

I have suddenly realised that I've put off my relationship with God long enough now.

How much longer can I repeat the same sins, over and over again?

I was getting to a point where I felt guilty everytime I asked for forgiveness, because I knew it wouldn't be long before I was asking for it again.

But today - I've changed. I've decided that the time is NOW to start fresh, to begin my walk with God. There have been a few changes in my life recently, and I now… Continue

Give Your Bodies To God

"And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship Him.

"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

"Because of the privilege and… Continue

BANKRUPTCY

From My Perspective - - -

There are same words that signify loss, failure, irresponsibility, or unanticipated events occurring that make it difficult for one to survive financially. Bankruptcy used to carry with it a sense of shame and/or failure. When the word is used as an adjective, American Heritage Dictionary defines Bankruptcy as, “having been legally declared financially insolvent; financially ruined; impoverished; depleted of valuable qualities or characteristics; totally… Continue

Faithful Failure...

Faithful Failures

Many popular preachers are teaching that if you have faith, nothing bad can befall you. You can be healed of all your diseases; delivered from all your financial woes and be blessed with every good thing.

But is that what the Bible teaches? Let's look at some "men of faith" to find out.

In 2Corinthians 12:7-10"So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger… Continue

Wow it seems like not time has past. A year ago today, I had a very major wreck in which I almost didn’t make it. I was hit by a pickup truck running over the speed limit which after he hit me we traveled thirty feet from where I got hit. After I got hit I was knocked out in the… Continue

Bang, Bang, Your Dead

Zechariah 14:1-14:12

Bang, Bang,Your Dead.

Preaching the Gospel is an exciting adventure into the past, present and future. Many believe that humanity will continue at its present rate and eventually come together in peace and love. I’m sorry to say that this is just another lie from the father of all lies, Satan. Man is destined to die, no matter what, age, race, color, weather they be rich or poor. Death will not be denighed. As a child, I believe that many of you played… Continue

Give Him A Stone

Luke 11:10-11:13

Give Him a Stone. I was raised up in the rural parts of appalachia, some said that it would be noon before the sun would hit the ground. Raised by hard working parents, never tiring of working from dawn to dusk, to provide for their children. One year, my parents moved from the home, I was born in, to another house, so that I and my brothers and sister, would be closer to the school we attended. We had hard times there, not really fitting in with the rest of the… Continue

Jer.51:6-18. I read an article the other day, concerning the vast wealth of America and the massive influence that she has over the rest of the world. Most banking systems are located in New York City, Gold, Silver, Diamonds and all manner of costly stones and commerce is located here. International travel is centered here and the major religions around the world look at her. Most commentators look… Continue

The Doomsday Factor.

July 29,05

The Doomsday Factor.

The First and Second Jewish Temples were Located on the Temple Mount, which is in danger of collapse. Many christians today have no idea that there is prophecy of the three temples. Many even denigh the fact. But The temple mount is the center of all prophecy and conflict between the Isralies and Muslims. The Anti- Christ will put his image in the third temple and cause it to speak.

2Pe 2:1-3. “But there were false prophets also among… Continue
