A simple man, with simple pleasures.(A Short Message.)

A simple man, with simple pleasures.(A Short Message.)

Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? What can I say about my dad? He was strong, afraid of nothing, and a man of deep love for Christ, his wife, and His Children. My dad lived a hard life, working always, and resting little. He married our mother in hard times, lost one son in death, and… Continue

The Gay Christian.

Many, in these end days, are accusing the Christian community of hate for gay and lesbian couples. This idea is wrong, we do not hate but fear for their souls. Here is the question that many are asking;”Can a gay man, or lesbian woman, be a Christian?” The Bibles answer is no.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of… Continue

The Scoffers.

The Scoffers.

To scoff; “To treat with insolent ridicule, mockery or contumelious language; to manifest contempt by derision; with at. To scoff at religion and sacred things is evidence of extreme weakness and folly, as well as of wickedness.”

There are certain parallels in these end days to the truth of the scriptures. There are many that are scoffing at the Christians that say, Christ is returning soon. Jesus stated that He would return, when all is fulfilled, and… Continue

Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?

Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?

The Son of man, The Son of God, all in one, never separated, never to die again. This is the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the troublesome times many are asking, “Will Jesus Return?” This is also in the prophecies of the scripture. We, as Christian, know that Jesus will return, but the multitudes are asking for proof. We have no proof except our faith in God and His word. Is it so hard to believe that Jesus will return? Is it so hard to… Continue

Power and the End Days Church.

Power and the End Days Church.

Power is something that we all have been used to living with. For electrical power to reach the out most homes we use a booster, for as the electricity flows further from its source of origin it gets weaker, the same thing happens to water pressure. This is the way of transferring power from one source to another.

Many people ask the same question over and over again, Why can't we do, or why can't we see, the power of God working in our… Continue

What I have done.

What I have done.

The Bible tells us that Jesus is the door, and no man enters except threw, and by Him. He is the one that opens the door and who then shuts the Door, Christ. When the door is shut, what manner of man can open it? No one can, for only Jesus has the power to open a shut door.

We are not saved by our works but only by grace, threw faith. What I have done cannot open a shut door. Many enjoy a good Christian singer, sometimes they bring about inspiration and… Continue

Bang, Bang,Your Dead

Bang, Bang,Your Dead.

Zechariah 14:1-14:12 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… Continue

"I Am the Way."

"I Am the Way."

Many say that there is a trend of cooperation on the ministering of

Jesus Christ. Many are holding meetings on co-operation of religions,

praying in each religion and being partaker with them as they pray.

These are unknown gods that many are respecting, and bowing their

heads too. The Bible is against all other religions and God will not

tolerate us sharing our worship with any other false god nor idol.

Salvation is of the Jews.

Salvation is of the Jews.

“Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” There are many in this world that have called for the destruction of the Jews, its Nation and peoples. We know by Biblical accounts that The Land and People of Israel, are Gods chosen people. So then the question is, why are they rejected at this time and why are the gentile people now a people again chosen by God to be included in the saving grace?

The Children… Continue

Hell and The Wrath of God.

Hell and The Wrath of God.

“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”

As we enter a day of decisions, and conflicts, over religions, we are assured, and enlightened, into the assurance of Gods wrath against all who refuse to believe upon His only begotten Son. Gods wrath… Continue

Abortion, Sin or Choice.

The Wicked Contemn God.

January 14

“They contemn the counsel of the Most High.”

Contemn; To slight; to neglect as unworthy of regard; to reject with disdain.

To despise; to consider and treat as mean and despicable; to scorn.

Repentance.

And saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

The time for repentance is today, for we have no promise of a tomorrow. There are many in this life who walk day after day, and still have no salvation, or deliverance, from the things to come. Christians, and the lost, are all in need of repentance.

Repent; In theology, to sorrow or be pained for sin, as a violation of God's holy law, a dishonor to his character and… Continue

A Nation without God.

Oh, we are lost, a nation without God. His statutes have gone astray from us, His words have hid themselves from our eyes, and His Son we have rejected. Woe is our Nation.

For in these times of great stress, we see many running too and fro, seeking answers but finding none. The economy is weakening and the prospects of a turn around are dwindling each day. Is it just something that happens every hundred years or so, or is it deeper than that? Is it the unrighteousness of man that has… Continue

He which “testifieth these things” - The Lord Jesus; for he it was that had, through the instrumentality of the angel, borne this solemn witness to the truth of these things, and this book was to be regarded as his revelation to mankind.
