    Memorial Day: Places of Testing and Growth

    Memorial Day: Places of Testing and Growth

    Today we celebrate “Memorial Day”.

    It is a day that we set aside to remember those who have sacrificed their lives over the years, so that we might be free and safe here in the United States of America.

    “Memorial Day”, is to help us remember, but the Bible also wants for us to celebrate other “Memorial Days”. Days in which the Lord has shown us His mighty power, His Love, and who He is.

    Days in which we might “Remember” who our God is, and that He has the power to also deliver us.

    Exodus 12:14 So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance

    Daily Walk: In Honor of Mother’s Day

    Daily Walk: In Honor of Mother’s Day

    Psalms 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

    It is interesting how something becomes more valuable once you no longer have it. My dear mother went home to be with the Lord on September 30, 2007 suddenly and without warning. I remember sitting at my desk at 6 am while I was preparing my heart to go before the people at my little church for Sunday services, as their pastor.

    The Last Days: A Correct View of the Rapture

    The Last Days: A Correct View of the Rapture

    How important is it that we continually teach the doctrine of “The Rapture of the Church?” According to Jesus, is one of the most important doctrines that we MUST continually study, meditate on, and continue to look forward to.

    One of the points that critics of the Rapture claim, is that “The Rapture is not taught in the Bible”. When I hear someone say this, I am always amazed. I know that they didn’t come to this conclusion by reading and studying the Bible themselves. This opinion came by what they heard someone else say or teach. If we simply read the Bible we will come away with the conviction that Jesus will return for His church at a time just prior to the beginning of the seven year Tribulation.

    The description of this event found in Paul’s epistle to the church at Thessalonica, is clear that the Lord will return for His church at time appointed by Him.

    One God, Three Persons and the Importance of Unity

    One God, Three Persons and the Importance of Unity

    Many people struggle with the doctrine of the Trinity. Some do so because the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible. The Bible never makes definitions for principles that it teaches, it simply reveals these truths to us in examples found in the Bible.
    The Fact is that the Bible teaches that the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, these three are One God.

    If we study the characteristics of each of the three of the Godhead, we learn from the Bible that each are called “God”. There are hundreds of verses in the Bible which substantiate that each of the three are called “God”

    Telling People About Jesus, “Really a Nuisance”

    Telling People About Jesus, “Really a Nuisance”

    Telling people about Jesus Christ may be a nuisance, but if we do not tell them, the Lord will hold us accountable for our silence. For reasons known only to the Lord, He has ordained that the Good News of Salvation be declared by human beings, to other human beings. God did not proclaim the Gospel by Angels or by supernatural means. He has left the responsibility for the eternal souls of people, to us.

    Saving people is not our responsibility, but telling them about how they can find forgiveness of their sins and eternal life, is our job.

    Jesus, in a manner of speaking said: “You catch then, I will clean them”.

    If we humbly and lovingly tell those whom we come in contact with that God is ready to forgive their sins and grant eternal life to all who come to God in Jesus name, then we have done all that He requires. If we are afraid and fear what they might say to us, or how they would react when we share the Lord with them, then they may be lost for our lack of courage.

    Signs of the Last Days: Scoffers of the “Rapture”

    Signs of the Last Days: Scoffers of the “Rapture”

    There are some today who claim that the Doctrine of the Rapture of the Church is not taught in the Bible. The proof that these skeptics offer is that the word “Rapture” is not found in the Bible.

    Others critics of the event called the Rapture, claim that this doctrine was not known or taught in the early church, but became prominent only in the 1800′s.

    Many other scoffers of the Rapture claim that the doctrine of the Rapture is “made up” and is a “false doctrine.”

    Remember what satan told Eve? “Did God really say that if you eat of this fruit you will die?, You will not die…”

    Today, thanks to the research of those who painstakingly translate ancient documents into the English language, such as the Grant Jeffrey organization, we have startling new evidence for the doctrine of the Rapture from the third century.

    The Prophecy of “Limited Time” For Salvation

    The Prophecy of “Limited Time” For Salvation

    In the old testament, the Lord described a time period in which He would accept man’s repentance and turning to the Messiah’s sacrifice for his salvation. That time period is not forever, nor will the Lord wait any longer than the lifespan of any man. If a person should die without receiving the Messiah’s sacrifice as the payment for their sins, this person will be lost forever, with no hope of redemption.

    Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

    The Grace of God, though it is far reaching, long and with great patience, it does have a limit. God will not “strive” with man over his sin and need for salvation forever.

    The time period in which God will hear a sinners repentance, and plea for salvation, is now, before any of us die, before the Lord Jesus returns to make final judgment on the world. If anyone should be obstinate and refuse the Lord’s generous offer of forgiveness, there will come a time when it will be too late, and there will be no right of appeal.

    Cult Church Donations Rise, Christian Church Donations Decrease

    As perhaps a marked increase in the prophetic application of scripture to the days we live in, there is a downward trend in the giving of those who claim to have a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. At the same time, there has been a significant increase in giving by those who claim membership in churches considered as “cult” type religions such as the “Latter Day Saints”, or the Mormon’s, and the Church of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

    Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

    Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

    1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

    I have never met a person who does not experience fear. It seems that this often debilitating flaw in our nature is one that can prevent us from experiencing the fullness of life that the Lord has intended for us.

    When we are afraid, we hesitate. When we are in fear, moving forward into a new area that God is leading, becomes difficult. When we are deeply concerned about what might happen to us, fear can even slow our ability to trust the Lord and do what He has asked us to do.

    The book of 1 John is filled with encouragement and instruction for those who know Jesus. John writes, that fear for a Christian is to not understand the Love of God. If we truly comprehend how great, how wide, and how deep the love of God is for those who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ, we would not often be afraid of anything.

    The Bible is the Most Valid Historical Document in the World

    The Bible is the Most Valid Historical Document in the World

    What makes an ancient document valid and reliable?

    Surprisingly, the criteria is the same for all documents of antiquity. According to the “Rules for Evidence”, as administered in all courts of law in the United States:

    “Every document, apparently ancient, coming from the proper repository or custody, and bearing on its face no evident marks of forgery, the law presumes to be genuine, and devolves on the opposing party the burden of proving it to be otherwise.”

    The burden for showing that an ancient document is not valid, is on the opposing party who makes the objection. This means that any document that verifies the old or new testament scriptures, is considered valid under the rules of evidence, unless it shows the marks of forgery, when it is found in the normal place (church) that such documents would expect to be found, and has been used by the institutions that would normally be in custody of such documents.

    The Futility of Judging Others

    The Futility of Judging Others

    It is a fact that all of us pass judgment on other people a hundred times a day.

    While we are standing in line, we are judging the language, mannerisms, clothing and even the techno gadgets of the people near us. Their language offends us, their clothing is not what we would consider stylish. The smart phone they have is not as good as the one we own. C’mon you know it’s true. We all pass judgment on just about everyone we meet.

    Have you ever gone an entire day without judging someone for something?

    Then there are those to whom we see their life style, and we disapprove and often condemn them in our heart and minds for what we see and hear. We may not even know them at all, but we think that we have their life all figured out.

    Passing judgment is a part of the fallen nature of human beings.

    Why does the Bible warn us about passing such judgments on other people?

    Internal Proof of the Bible’s Authenticity

    Internal Proof of the Bible’s Authenticity

    The internal structure of the gospels, proves their authenticity.

    It is the contention of Atheists and Bible skeptics, that the Christians accounts of Jesus Christ, found in the four gospels are “fabrications”. Some acknowledge that a man called Jesus did live about 2,000 years ago, but there was nothing remarkable, nor miraculous about his life. Others would have us re-write the entire history of man for the past 2,000 years, claiming that there never was a person called Jesus Christ.

    When I read many of the comments made by Atheist’s, I wonder if the people who write these negative comments have actually read and studied the new testament gospels. I wonder if those who write such words have considered the fact that the single life of Jesus Christ has shaped and changed the thinking of the entire world? If He did not exist, and if He is not who He claimed to be, then how is it that He has exercised such tremendous influence upon every facet of human life?

    Just as we know that a person has been in a room, by dusting that room for their fingerprints, when we search the four corners of the earth, we find the fingerprints of Jesus Christ everywhere we look.

    The Blessedness of Brokenness

    The Blessedness of Brokenness

    To live our lives in relative peace with the absence of trouble, is the hope of many. To avoid pain, sickness, disappointments, and failures would make life fuller and richer. Or so we think.

    Those who have lived four or five decades on the earth will tell you that first of all, it is impossible to live without experiencing all of these things. Second, the presence of life’s difficulties, makes for a fuller, richer, more rewarding life.

    It is coming, to, and going through the troubles of life that we learn to most. About ourselves, those we are closest to, and the simple joy that is felt when a new lesson of life is being learned.

    The Historical Reliability of the Bible

    The Historical Reliability of the Bible

    This month, I have been reading and reviewing several books by leading scholars, on the subject of the reliability of the Bible, as a historical document. As I make comments in my reviews, I often have an opportunity to write an opposing view to Atheist readers and skeptics of the Bible.

    The following is an article that I wrote today, in response to criticism that the new testament is not a reliable historical document, because it is of religious nature.

    The new testament stands alone as a valid, reliable, historical document. It is laughable that the new testament is rejected by so many, strictly because it is a Christian document and of religious origin. That is to say, “You really cannot trust those Christians you know, they don’t know how to write good eye witness testimony, nor can they keep reliable records.”

    The facts is that the new testament scriptures would be held as credible and reliable evidence, according to the rules for evidence by the great history of the legal profession.

    What makes an ancient document valid and reliable?

    Irreducibly Complex Systems “Didn’t Plan to Evolve”

    Irreducibly Complex Systems “Didn’t Plan to Evolve”

    In his Youtube video, the author of “QualiaSoup”, seeks to make his case that Irreducibly complex organisms are not so irreducibly complex. The author takes the listener through a series of mental gymnastics in which he asks the participant to accept his assumptions that explain why irreducibly complex systems such as the human eye, could have evolved.

    In an explanation of the mouse trap, an irreducibly complex system, the author states that by removing the mechanism from the base and attaching it to another base, we have rendered the mechanism non-irreduciblly complex.

    In a quickly passed over statement immediately after the mousetrap example, the author states:

    “A mousetrap is made with a goal in mind, evolution has no such goals, living mouse catchers didn’t plan to evolve that way…” (Excerpt from Qualiasoup You tube video)

    In other words, the complexity of the human eye, was not planned. In evolutionary thought, a human eye, as amazing and complex as it is, just happened by accident. The author asks us to accept that it was never the goal of any irreducibly complex system, to become whatever it became, it just happened to end up that way by chance.

    Signs of the “Last Days”: A Departure From the Faith

    Signs of the “Last Days”: A Departure From the Faith

    The Last Days will be characterized by a great departure from the Christian faith, with many who were formerly believers, falling away from Jesus. Paul wrote to the Christians at Thessalonica that this would be one of the ultimate “signs” of Jesus arrival to remove the church from the earth, and the beginning of the seven year Tribulation.

    Paul warned: “That day” (the Day of the Lord), will not come unless the falling away (Greek: “Apostasia”, Departure from the faith) occurs first”.

    Reent books by authors such as Kenneth Daniels, who claims to be a former believer and missionary in Africa, but left the Christian faith, are an example of just such a departure that Paul was writing about.

    How’s Your Heart?

    How’s Your Heart?

    The heart is the seat of all our emotions. It is the place from which our love flows, and from where every experience of life is felt.

    Jesus said that the heart is also the place that we should be most careful when evaluating and structuring our life. For if we rely on the feelings and emotions of our heart, we will always be led astray.

    Whether or not a person can actually be saved, obtain and maintain eternal life, depends on the condition of their heart.

    What if Death Was the Cost of Following Jesus?

    What if Death Was the Cost of Following Jesus?

    If today, it actually cost you something to believe in, or claim to be a follower of Jesus, would you be willing to pay that cost?

    Are you sure?

    If to this point it has not cost you anything to be a follower of Jesus, it is highly unlikely that you would now be willing to pay the cost that might be asked of you. If we have not been wiling to walk away from all sin in our life and correct our behavior in order to follow Jesus, it is not likely that we would be willing to now, to lay down our life for Him, if that was the cost demanded.
