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

Praise to God!!!

"Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His praise?" Psalm 106:1-2

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

Babylon is Fallen. Is the United States, Spiritual Babylon?

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

I Desire to Reason with God.

“With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?” Many say we have the mind of God, but this isn't so.

The Bible tells us that we have the mind of Christ, and should act as Christ acted, do the works that Christ did, and do greater works than His, being not greater than the Master. We are a member of the house of God, the gentiles being a wild branch that was grafted in as… Continue

Separate but Equal.

In the world of salvation, and according to the constitution, all men are born equal, the Bible also states this but in a different manner. In scripture we, as man, are born separate but equal. Equal; Impartial; neutral; not biased. Just; equitable; giving the same or similar rights or advantages. Having the same value. As man is in this life so shall he be in the next. There is no difference with God concerning man.

The only separation that is made is between those that are born… Continue

Todays Yesterday.

Have you been in dire straights as of yesterday? Has everything gone wrong in your life? Do you wonder how you will be able to stand all the pressure, and do you wish that you would just die? For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. "Our years pass away like those of the spider."

Our plans and operations are like the spider's web. Life is as frail, and the thread of it as brittle, as one of those which constitute the… Continue

Honestly, please, how can I possibly believe in god?

Mar 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Believe; To credit upon the authority or testimony of another; to be persuaded of the truth of something upon the declaration of another, or upon evidence furnished by reasons, arguments, and deductions of the mind, or by other circumstances, than personal knowledge. When we believe upon the authority of another, we always put confidence in his veracity. “But without faith it is impossible to… Continue

The Silence of the Lambs.

And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; Saying, “Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.” And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, “Master, rebuke thy disciples.” And he answered and said unto them, “I tell you that, if these should hold their… Continue

When the Gentiles Heard.

The Church of Christ, and our God, is a membership of love, trust, knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. When the members love one another, there is a spirit of unity. Without a vision and a unity among the brethren there is lacking a power to ask, and also have prayers answered. As it is written,”Without a vision My people perish.” Unity; In Christian theology, oneness of sentiment, affection or behavior. “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” Unity of… Continue

“He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; He suffered no… Continue

FORTUITOUS

From My Perspective - - -

Everyone views life through his/her personal prism. We do not exist in a vacuum! We all have our values and biases. However, there are those who believe some “magic” has been at work in their behalf – maybe “karma”! There are numbers of people who believe that everything occurring in life is to be relegated and embraced as “good luck” – a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It is viewed as “chance” (things just happen). One can hear some… Continue
