TEPID TRENDS?

From My Perspective - - -

The April 13, 2009 Cover of Newsweek asserts: “THE DECLINE AND FALL OF CHRISTIAN AMERICA…” and headlines the lead story: “The End of Christian America”. The article is written by Jon Meacham and states: “The percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 points in the past two decades…It was a small detail, a point of comparison buried in the fifth paragraph on the 17th page of a 24-page summary of the 2009 American Religious Identification… Continue

the blood

The blood

Blood is the most important part of the body, without blood there is no life in man because it contained life. The first person who die was Abel (he was killed by his brother) and according to the bible GOD said, in Ge 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground). This verse is telling us that even though Cain killed Abel His blood that is life keep on crying to God. Blood contained life that is why God said we should not… 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

Elijah's Prayers

Hello Elijah fans,

I did a study on the prayers of Elijah, I wanted to see how he prayed. He had such power when he prayed. God listened and answered his prayers. It seems like when he asked God in prayer, God would listen and answer his prayers. That is important, because in the word of God it says a rightous persons prayers will be " powerful and effective."

In 1 Kings 17:1-6 it said that Elijah said to Ahab, "As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be… Continue

House of Elijah

I started this blog for any one interested in the study of the Bible. I myself did a study on Elijah and thought it was interesting how God worked in his life. The meaning of his name is the Lord is my God. I feel the same way too, the Lord is my God.

Elijah was a Tishbite he emerged as if from nowhere, to become Israel's greatest miracle-worker since Moses. This great prophet from the northern kingdom of Israel was empowered by God to battle the forces of Baal, the Canaanite god of storm,… Continue

Mary Magdalene And Resurrection Of Christ

It was like a violent storm had gone through leaving destruction in its wake. But early this Sunday morning all is quiet -- the lull after the storm -- or so it seems to Mary. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you the story.

First, there is Jesus, the leader and prophet from Galilee. When his popularity was at its apex in Jerusalem just the week before, many had considered him the Messiah. But on Friday, his enemies had succeeded executing him by… Continue

Introduction

A survey of 7,000 people in 6 countries was conducted by the “Research International”. They were seeking to identify the most recognized symbols in the world today.

McDonald’s golden arches and Shell’s glowing yellow shell were recognized by 84% of those… Continue

GETTING RID OF THE HEAVY BURDENS

GETTING RID OF THE HEAVY BURDENS

There are times in our lives when we come to the end of our rope. We exhaust every option we know, we have prayed, we have sought counsel, we have done our home work, we have gone the extra mile, etc. We have done all we can do and still we have to deal with a burden that seeks to crush us.

What do we do when we have been unemployed for months with no job in sight?

What do we do when no… Continue

1 John 4 :1-6.

2.This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

3b.ut every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you… 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

Did Daddy DO That?

My Abusive "Christian" Marriage

I couldn't believe this was my reality. And I couldn't see a way out.

Gwyneth Nelson | posted 2/02/2009

"Did Daddy do that?" my daughter asked. Lying on the floor in the doorway of her room, I was stunned as I realized my daughter had just witnessed undeniable physical abuse. Tom's* anger had escalated into unrestrained rage, and he'd thrown me into our daughter's bedroom. Con-fused, I began to question my situation: Was I really… Continue

The Middle Verse in the Bible

“It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in man.” (Psalm 118:8, Amp)

The next verse is similar:

“It is better to trust and take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.” (v.9)

Say, isn’t that what the Bible is all about? Isn’t it so we will come to know our Maker and put our trust in the One who made us? Besides, He wrote the manual! He knows us, and He knows what is best for… Continue
