Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. In America, the culture is becoming less Christianized every day. If you were raised in a family or society to believe that the Bible is not to be followed and Holiness is for “those sanctimonious saints” and if you believed the lie that the Bible was written by mere men without God; so that the Bible is not the foundation for our thinking but higher education is (especially science); which are from the universities that are staffed primarily by practicing atheist or agnostics; and as you were developing you continued to associate with anti-Go...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Do you know the priorities and passions of Jesus? If we would read our Study Bibles and treat it as we treat our phones (we never leave home without it) we would know His priorities that are the utmost importance.” In Heb. 4:12-13 it says, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and He is the one ...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Psalm 45:6-7 “Your throne O God is forever and ever; a scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God has anointed You with the oil of joy above Your fellows.” Sometimes we experience so much anguish that it feels as the earth itself was collapsing on you. But God… he holds up the shield of faith and shouts with confidence that He is still in control. As you become more aware of the issues facing our nation which effects the Body of Christ because we a...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Neh. 8:5-6 it says, “Ezra opened the book (the Word of God) in full view of all the people, since he was elevated above everyone. As he opened it all the people stood up. Ezra praised the Lord, the great God. And with their hands uplifted all the people said, Amen, Amen! Then they bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground.” Notice how the Word of God was honored. Today the Book is not honored it is being Deconstructed. Rebellion, the sexual revolution and the secular humanism have dominated American life since 1960s....
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Do Christians experience persecution today? Do you and I experience persecution today but just don’t recognize it? The news today focused on a village in the Golan Heights along the Israel’s northern border where twelve boys and girls were killed as they ran for safety from an Iranian made rocket that exploded in the soccer field, where they were practicing. This was an act of evil. This is just one of the many persecutions suffered at the hands of our enemy, Satan. God has said in John 14:30 “ ..for the ruler of the world is coming &hel...

California’s Jurupa Unified School District wanted a high school physical education teacher to adhered to the district “gender affirming directives” which included using student’s preferred pronouns, withholding gender issues from parents, and allowing males into female locker rooms. Citing her religious convictions, she refused and was fired. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy” (John10:10) Satan and his imps do their job well…can we Christians {with the power of the Almighty who defeated Satan a...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. God does not overlook even the slightest detail in the universe. Rather He governs the universe in total awareness of everything that is happening within it. Our nation is in an election year. What does that mean for the practicing Christian? Questions come to mind such as…. Can a Christian participate in politics in good conscience? Should we vote for the lesser of two evils? Should we vote at all? Are we sinning when we support flawed candidates? What is a non-negotiable (platform) for a Christian when it comes to politics? Is it the abortion iss...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Are churches becoming more like a social club? Or is the church becoming a place to meet in order to get encouraged and strengthen in the Lord to go back out into the battle? Do you even know that there is an active battle going on? The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12 “for we do no wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual host of wickedness in the heavenly places.” The believers are the salt and the light. In Matt. 5:13 the Bible says, “You are...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. As our nation becomes more and more intolerant of the Christian faith in its quest for fulfilling its amoral lifestyle, we (the church) will become a greater threat. Already there is a growing divide regarding “the people called out” to become aware and understand that they are being silenced and controlled by society with dominance and intimidation. At present liberal policies are advancing and secular culture is aggressively trying to eliminate all conservative thought that does not agree with it. The debate on June 28 between Biden and Trum...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. It is the 4th of July week. What does that mean to us as professing Christians; followers of Christ? We do not find that day celebrated in the Bible. So how should we respond to this holiday? In 1620 some colonist (Separatist Christians) sailed for the “New World” on the Mayflower because they renounced the religious practices of the Church of England which they thought that church was beyond redemption. The Puritans joined them in 1630.Not only did the families come with all of their belongings ..they brought the Geneva Bible with them. They ...
