The Mystery of Suffering Part 2
“Breaking Through the Thick Shield of our Hypocrisy” Almost every Christian has a dark past; a period of time where darkness seemed to take over. Yet, they found Jesus.

Government: A Man-Made Institution Destined for Failure
The nation of Israel was born out of the seed of Abraham to which became its twelve tribes under a patriarchal system with Jacob as their leader. By the time Israel was welcomed by Pharaoh in the land of Goshen, Israel became a part of a family of seventy (Genesis 46:27 / 47:1-6). By the […]

Entertainers or Life-Changing Vessels
The best entertainers in the world are not in the church; sorry guys! Those who are known as the top entertainers are experts in what they do. The job of an entertainer is to engage people or audiences by providing amusing or interesting material. How can your emotions not be moved as you watch Aretha Franklin hitting those powerful notes?

My heart goes out to you who right now, at this very moment, are experiencing some situations that are ripping your hearts into pieces.

When the Accusations Against Us Are True!
When the accusations against us are true, most will look at who is accusing us, point out our own accusations against them, justify our sin and make excuses. We can continue the path of Adam and Eve and play the blame game for the rest of our lives on our way to hell. However, there is a process that the Lord has given us that will bring us out of this bondage:

To Try or To Surrender
Have you noticed that everywhere you look you find people trying different things to improve their lives? It seems like everybody is working on something! Some are trying to stop smoking, others trying to stop drinking, to stop watching pornography, stop masturbating. Some are trying to lose weight, to cease the arguments with their spouses. Others are trying to spend more quality time with their families, read the Bible more, pray more, get this or that promotion in their jobs, put on this and put off that according to the Bible, etc. We even have friends that acknowledge how hard we are trying. However, even as many of us have experienced great seasons of victories, we seem to lack the endurance necessary to go the distance. Over and over we experience defeat as we go back to do what we did not want to do

The Quiet Power of Peace
Today the prayer is not for God to remove everything that is stealing our peace. In this world we will have tribulation; that is a Biblical promise.

A Word on Servant Leadership

Men and women view servant leadership differently. Men identify with a servant leader as a leader […]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!
The assault against our faith is brutal in our secular society today. For many politicians and celebrities in Hollywood for example, it is almost a career killer to declare their faith in Jesus Christ publicly. Stating that you are pro-life or that you believe in the sanctity of marriage between a men and a woman is in fact a career risk that not many are willing to take. You will be mocked, ridiculed and lied about.
