Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. I read a statement concerning the moral decline of our nation. It said, “if the moral fiber of this country continues to erode, and people continue to ignore the Bible, then the demise of this country is only a matter of time.” Do you believe that? Think for a minute. What is the basis for morality in our nation? It has become “you do you...and I do me” or “whatever is right for you...do it” or “if everybody seems okay with it….it must be okay” Saints, do you see the problem in t...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. It has been said, “Our nation is adrift. We are like a ship without a rudder, compass, or even a goal. We do not know where we are going because we have forgotten from where we have come.” God is the foundation of the world; but do you realize that whole generations of Americans have grown up without the foggiest idea of what God has to say about government…the institution that wants to control us? God had and have a lot to say about government. God knows that mankind is evil and needs certain restraints because of the evil ...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. As a Christian born in a Christian nation do you sometimes feel like the world is spinning out of control? Violence is surging in America’s cities, police are under assault, a war is going on with the Christian military members and their religious liberty, there is a definite moral decline in the cities and for a period of time there has been a movement to systematically destroy the Judeo-Christian foundation of our country, In 1962 no more praying in schools; in 1973 legalized abortion appeared; in the 80s and 90s the Ten Commandments monumen...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. How important is “the fear of the Lord?” In Proverbs 14:27 it states, “The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.” Is the fear of man something that ensnares only a few? The Apostle Paul says that by nature, men outside of Christ have “no fear of God before their eyes.” Roman 3:18. However, even the godliest saint still has remnants of this fear of man in his or her soul. At times even believers choose to warm themselves at the fire of acceptance, like Peter did...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. “My God my God why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help? Every day I call to you, My God but you do not answer. Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.” Psalm 22:1-2 Jesus knows our suffering. He was called the Suffering Servant. The suffering maybe physical or emotional. But God; He feels a compassion to help. Everyday God grants us grace and mercy. In First Peter 5:6-10 the Word says, “Humble yourselves therefore under the God’s mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In I Thess. 4:16-17 “for the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus, we shall always be with the Lord.” My question to all of us…Are you ready? Phil. 3:20 says, “Our citizenship is in heaven from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” Did you know that G...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In James Chap.1:9-11 the Word reads, “let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation and the rich in his humiliation because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass its flowers falls and its beauty perishes; so also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.” Did you also know that the Word says, “for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you (by his poverty) might becom...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Did you notice that our culture is decaying? Why would I say this? Americans love participating in gambling, pornography, abortion, fornication, same-sex marriages, racism and most ungodly behaviors on and off the media. So, as we mourn for our country; let’s have a greater burden to pray for our churches and for each other individually because it appears that some are “falling away” from the truth of God’s Word. Even Jesus prayed for the believers. He said, “I do not pray that you take them out of the world but that you shou...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Hebrews 11:6 the Word says,” and without faith it is impossible to please Him.” Saints of God we must have Faith. Faith is an essential aspect of the Christian Life. Why? Because it is the avenue through which we are saved by God’s grace and the means by which we are to live thereafter. When we believe and obey what the Lord says in His Word our faith grows stronger but when we let our feelings and circumstances override our confidence in Him and His promises, our faith begins to waver. Human reasoning can cause trus...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. For the last two weeks I have been thinking about (us) the Body of Christ. Guess what? I still am. Why? Because here in the West we have become immunized or inoculated against the deeper things of God, living our Christian lives on a superficial plain of churchiness and religiosity. This type of Christianity will not do. God has poured out a profound blessing on this region. However it appears that we have neglected it and taken his kindness for weak sentimentality and not true repentance. God will remove His lampstand from our midst along with His ...
