By Faith…

Faith matters “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”—Heb. 11:1 Translation: Faith is made up of hope for things we do not see and have never seen, but have evidence for.

Let The Light Shine In

What is Christmas? Christmas is a time for cheer. A time when we slow down and remember the things that matter most. It’s a time when we celebrate the birth of a King. The birth of a savior. Jesus Christ our Lord. As has been pointed out many times, December is not the actual dateContinue reading “Let The Light Shine In”

The Power Of The Devil

What the Bible says. I often run into Christians who speak of the devil as though he is powerless and weak. That he is a defeated foe and not a real enemy.

God Will Come Running

When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card.

Love One Another

Do you back your people up? The early church had three things that helped them grow and take over the Roman Empire. First, they had the Holy Spirit. They were saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, who led them and guided them in their work. If your church never speaks of or teaches theContinue reading “Love One Another”

The Internet and Social Media

Tools for the Last Days God allowed the internet and social media to exist, for the purpose of spreading the Gospel, and His Word in these last days. Yes, there is evil. Yes, the enemy is using the internet and social media to unite the world for his Kingdom. Yes, it was brought into beingContinue reading “The Internet and Social Media”
