Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. In a few weeks, we will discover who will become America’s next president. Many Americans will be belated while many others will be dejected. A lot of people believe that if one particular person is elected instead of the other, it will signal the end of our country as we know it. Before jumping on that bandwagon, however, everyone should recall these Scriptures about God’s sovereignty and providence. “Before You created the hills or brought the world into being, you were eternally God, and will be God forever.” (Ps. 90:2) and &ldq...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In I Timothy 4:1-3 the Apostle Paul predicted a falling away from the Christian faith within the Church. The defection from the faith was already occurring in his time and He believed it is like leaven. It will continue to spread until the end of this present age. In 2 Thess. 2:3 “let no one deceive you by any means for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.” Paul specifically referred to the “unrighteous deception” in which people depart from God’s ...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. We live in challenging times. All around us is chaos, confusion and conflict in every level of society. So how should Christians be responding? There are times when we will look at a situation and wonder why God hasn’t acted sooner. Yet His timing and reasons are always perfect. We are in a time where right is wrong and wrong is right and where definition of words are being changed to fit the narrative. Conflicts are a part of living in this world. How we respond matters. While arguing with people we can say harsh- unfair words. The conflict often c...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. We are in an election time. It is very important that the people of God understand the heart and love of God. If Nicodemus had truly understood God’s Word, he would have known who Jesus was. Even though he was a great teacher he was harboring the “sin of unbelief.” Are you harboring unbelief in the values that God honors? As a people of God do you know His values or do you honor and respect the culture’s values? In Mark 9:24 a man had a struggle with faith and doubt when his son was possessed by a demon. He was not sure God could h...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Once upon a time there were German pastors in the 1930s who came against the Nazis. These pastors asked other pastors to join them but those pastors had a belief that the “church business” is just “church business” and it would give people the wrong idea about what the church is about. They would say “it is for the sake of the Gospel” that we will not contest what Hitler is doing to the Jewish people and others…even as heard the screams of the Jewish children as the trains rode by the open windows of their church...
(Read More)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...
