Shall we continue in sin?
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (Rom 6:1-2)
Every nation and generation in history has had its own unique sin that deceived multitudes and has defined them as a nation, in the Middle East, the Far East and Asia its false religion, idol and animal worship and as we all have seen many of these religions have brought about persecution, hatred and even the death of those that…

The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
Amos 3:6-8 “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?”
Shall a warning of danger be sounded in the cities of this world and the people not fear? Shall disaster befall multitudes and the Lord God not ordains it as…

Denying ungodliness.
Tit 2:11-15, “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke…

I Pray to?
“For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To the unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”
There are many gods in this world today.
Many say we, as Christians, persecute those that refuse to live as Christ lived, but this isn't so.
We, as followers of Christ, are set in motion by a commission from the true God, the God of Abraham, Issac and… Continue

The Fire;
Trouble; affliction.

“Delayed Punishment.”
Vanity of the sinner.
“For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.”
Death comes to all the wicked and the righteous. As we look threw Ecclesiastes we see that this date of our demise is… 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… Continue

Hope, Enduring, and Sustained.
The Hope that believers have is enduring, and sustained, by our trust in the Lord.
The hope that lies within us is, the hope of a resurrection from the dead, being promised by Jesus. We believe in hope because we are told that, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies.
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken… Continue

Men and The Bible. pt.2.
Their Responsibility to his Wife.
If the men of today would read and understand the scriptures, we would see less spousial abuse, for a woman was not put into this life to be beat upon or abused, this action constitutes sin.
Let us read a little and understand the importance of a wife among men.
"And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"

"I hold these truths to be self evident."
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness."
We, as believers in Christ have seen, heard, and have witnessed many things, that this world will not believe.
Jesus testified of a truth that was well known to Him. He came from the Father and to the Father He returned. All ministers must also testify of the things that were made known to… Continue

Ye Believe in God!
Faith.
Belief; the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared by another, resting on his authority and veracity, without other evidence; the judgment that what another states or testifies is the truth.
We, who believe in God, have no need of physical proof, for His Spirit dwells within us. We see things that others can not see, hear things that others can not hear, and speak things that can only come from the Holy Spirit of… Continue

Morality.
The quality of an action which renders it good; the conformity of an act to the divine law, or to the principles of rectitude. This conformity implies that the act must be performed by a free agent, and from a motive of obedience to the divine will. This is the strict theological and scriptural sense of morality.
Morality cannot be forced on any one, this is contrary to scripture. Mankind has a choice, to live a moral life, or to ignore just, and moral ways, to become… Continue

The Significance of Jesus Christ.
As the breakaway Presbyterian Churches accept homosexuality as a good life style, they are also considering the Significance of Jesus Christ and His word.
As far as prophecy goes, is this significant, or a look into the future of all churches?
This is not a message about homosexuality, but rather a study on the end of the righteousness of many churches.
First we must ask ourselves a few questions and find… Continue

How I Do Grieve.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
God has no pleasure in the death of any man. For we are all made in His likeness and in His image. We morn, and grieve, over the death of a loved one, I myself have grieved many times. It is a hard thing to lose someone that you halved loved all your life.
We are heartbroken by a loss, but some take it harder than others. We must… Continue

Of Blood and Sacrifice.
The Body cannot live without the blood. If you had a perfect body and you would change the blood to clear water, the body would die. Why? The life of the Body is the Blood. The same thing applies to the body of a Christian and also, the Church as a whole. Without the Blood, the Body would die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an… Continue

Why yet am I also Judged as a Sinner?
In these end days we see controversy after controversy. The Bible is clear on those that will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but when a man, who is called by God, preaches these things he is accosted, persecuted and called a sinner.
“For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we… Continue
