He is our Father and Friend We often have a wrong view of who God is. We are raised to have certain views. We are taught in church to have a certain view.

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. If we rightly divide this verse we first need to understand what “Hope” is. Hope isContinue reading “By Faith…”
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. It’s almost like they haven’t actually read the Bible. Yes, Christ defeated Satan on the cross. Yes, God is in complete control. But,Continue reading “The Power Of The Devil”
How Do We Forgive?
Forgiveness sets us free. We are called to forgive others. It is one of the hardest things we can be called to do. “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matt. 6:15 We see an example of this in the parable of the servant who owed theContinue reading “How Do We Forgive?”
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”
What is Predestination?

There are some verses in the Bible which speak of predestination and have led to many false and confusing beliefs in regards to it. “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,”—Eph 1:5 “In whom also we have obtainedContinue reading “What is Predestination?”

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”—Phil. 4:6-7 You’ve seen the slogan “Know Jesus. Know Peace.NoContinue reading “Our Peace”
Spiritual Abuse
It’s not from God I’ve been involved with Churches and ministries for at least 20 years. I’ve seen things. Things that are not from God. But first let’s define spiritual abuse. WebMD says, it’s “any attempt to exert power and control over someone using religion, faith or beliefs.” Here’s my definition; because let’s be honest.Continue reading “Spiritual Abuse”
The Burden Of Prayer
Sometimes we have a burden I’m not a very good Christian. I’m just not. If you followed me around everyday with a camera. You’d be like, “What’s wrong with this guy?” God saves us despite our sinfulness. He works to change us. Trust me. I’m better than I used to be. I say this becauseContinue reading “The Burden Of Prayer”
Steal, Kill And Destroy
Satan Works to Destroy Us Jesus said that the thief or Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy. What does this mean? (John 10:9-10, John 8:43-44) Well the very first thing. Is our soul. The enemy does everything in his power to keep people from salvation. He fights to keep people from hearing theContinue reading “Steal, Kill And Destroy”
