Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. Memorial Day will be celebrated for those who have served in the military and for the families of the soldiers who died defending the United States of America against all and any attack on the principles of what God wants. This holiday begun after the Civil War (1861-1865) and expanded to include all wars thereafter. God had said there would be wars and rumors of wars that will precede the end of the age. All wars had voices that were loud, chaotic, and shaped in thought by fear and division. It has been stated that political rebellion at its root is ulti...

Even the demons believe that -and shudder.” Upon further research… the demons have intellectual knowledge of God’s existence and power but lack ‘saving faith’ and “trust.” Their shuddering represents absolute terror -recognizing Jesus authority and inevitable judgement. God wants us to believe- trust and love Him with all of our hearts and with our soul and with our mind. God said, “this is the first and greatest commandment.” In ...

This day had in its early roots in the late eighteenth century; initiated by Ann Reeves Jarvis to honor the sacrifices mothers made for their children; and to honor her mother’s wish to memorialize mothers for all their contributions to society. In 1914 Pres. Wilson signed a Congressional Resolution designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. It really goes without saying that there can be no great men and women without great mothers. The Bible is full of stories of women of God who contributed to making ...

In the Bible Matt. 16:18 it is stated, “On this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Christ will build His Church… and it will not be with the latest marketing or branding promotional stratagem. Christ began his church by first laying the foundation. In ancient construction the cornerstone was the first stone set ensuring the entire structure was aligned and stable. In 2nd Peter this chapter tells us about the living stone and a chosen people. “As you come to him the Living Stone rejecte...

God loves His church...He wants His people to honor and glorify Him not only when we are gathered together in the building; but in the marketplace. For example, in Acts 17:6 Paul and Silas and Jason were said of them “those who have turned the world upside down have come here too. Jason has harbored them and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar saying there is another king----Jesus.” You could say that th...

The goal is to develop the church in such a way as to make it what the Lord wanted it to be…. a church of Truth, a church desiring to be Disciples of Christ to serve His Kingdom. Christ is not looking for people to casually join and occasionally attend. Jesus wants people who will lay down their lives to follow Him on His mission. and rid ourselves of self- centeredness. Today there are a lot of people who come into a building to sit with the “church” &hellip...
(Read More) - Published: April 19, 2026Greetings and blessings to all of you. Every Sunday across America churches are filled with believers who are not Christians. These folks know about Jesus, they talk about Jesus but they have never trusted in Jesus and this becomes evident when you see almost empty churches and hear ignorant conversations regarding spiritual matters. How do you think our Lord and Savior thinks about this? In reading Rev. 2,3 you will find God handing each church their report card. He speaks to the Dead church, The Faithful church, the Compromising church, the Lukewarm church, the Corrupt church and the Persecu...
(Read More) - Published: April 12, 2026Greetings and blessings to all of you. This is Resurrection Sunday. What does the Resurrection of Christ mean to you? It was a milestone in our Lord’s earthly ministry that He prophesied, but the disciples and some of us have difficulty understanding what was actually fulfilled. The disciples hopes and dreams were tied up in Jesus. Their very lives belonged to Him. Can we say that about us? Is Christ not only your Savior but is He Lord of your life? Are you shaped by the Word of God or by the culture? God gave us a dividing line. Jesus said, “take up your cross and follow me”...
(Read More) - Published: April 05, 2026Greetings and blessings to all of you. This is Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem, marking the start of Holy Week. The Bible is a prophetic book. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was the fulfillment of the word found in Zech. 9:9 “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout O daughter of Jerusalem; See your King comes to you righteous and having salvation; gentle and riding on a donkey …” In Matthew 21 Jesus instructed two of His disciples to go to an adjoining village to find a donkey and its colt. Notice he is not riding on a decorat...
(Read More) - Published: March 29, 2026Greetings and blessings to all of you. It is a sad fact that every Sunday churches across America are filled with believers who do not fully trust Christ and His words in the Scriptures. Their knowledge is deficient. They accept some of the statements about Jesus- but do not completely believe that there is Hope in Death. Apostle Paul was very clear about hope in death. Paul experienced near death experiences constantly after he was Born Again on the Damascus Road. He fought continually for the Church of Christ therefore he had plenty of enemies who wanted him dead. The world (as now) would ca...
