Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. We are called to be dead to sin and alive to Christ. Paul said in Romans 6:12-14, “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master because you are not under law but under grace.” What would cause those of us who are saved stray from follow...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Our world is playing out Romans 1:28 “and since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a debased mind to do those things which are not proper.” This is what God said He will do in the last days. He gives them over to a reprobated mind where people live like… up is down, black is white and evil is good. We have witnessed in the last year or two our major leaders engage in the most delusional thinking imaginable. But because we know who Christ is and our faith is in Christ alone; we have a biblical perspective and ...

God told us in II Cor. 6:17 “Therefore come out from among them and be separate.” God told the Israelites after coming out of Egypt in Lev.20:8 “Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord who makes you holy.” Why did the Lord tell this to the people? Leviticus is a manual of regulations that God, the holy King, had given to the people of his kingdom for setting up his earthly throne among them. It explains how the Israelites are to be the Lord’s Holy people and are to worship him in a holy manner for His purpose, His serv...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. As you are aware of there is a growing hostility in our culture toward truth which comes from the Lord our Savior. We have seen our leaders dominate and tyrannize our society. During this season, we can only focus on God and his promises and not our obstacles and remain faithful. 2 Cor. 13:8 says, “for we cannot do anything against the truth but only for the truth”. Recall the story of Joshua and Caleb in the Book of Numbers Chapter 13 and 14. The Lord said to Moses “send some men to explore the land of Canaan which I am giving to the Is...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. The Sect. of Transp. has just announced he is now married to another man and is currently adopting a child. So, some in the church may ask what’s the big deal? Some in the church may ask what would Jesus say? Saints, recall when Jesus warned us about the days will come when it will be said, “Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil; that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter; Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. ( Isa. 5:20-21) Well, we are in ...

Esther was married to that king....so she thought perhaps even though she was a Jew; she could escape the deranged thinking of her husband. But her uncle (a Jew) sent a message to her (as he sat outside the king’s palace crying weeping and praying). He said, “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and de...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Did you see the Passion of Christ? The movie showed how Jesus gave His life for the undeserving. The film showed the torturous moments on the cross and how Jesus endured all the pain and suffering for me and you. Why? Because He was part of the plan to redeem us from the possibility of going to Hell even though we were yet in our sins. “For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life. (John 3:16). That should make you say Hallelujah! My question to all of us &hell...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Luke 18:8 the question says, “When Christ returns, will He find any of Faith?” Faith in what or who? Will it be your family? Will it be YOU? Or will it be God? Jesus was serious when He asked this question in the first century. Secularization was going on like it is going on now. It says, “Man does not need God?” That is why you hear and possibly have experienced the “foolishness of man” with the embracing of things such as abortion and euthanasia (to control the population) socialized medicine (mandated vaccines) an...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Unless you have your head buried in the sand or you have become indifferent/numb to the constant attacks on God’s Word (the truth), our faith, our religious freedom and the Constitution; the Body of Christ here and abroad is going through trial from the unbelievers. But as God has said, “Fear not for I am with you do not be dismayed for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10) and God is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1) God stated...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In 2 Chron. 7:14 the Word says, “If my people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” The remedy to our nation’s moral and spiritual woes must begin at the house of God (the church). The culture/world is going to do evil..that is what they do.” Jesus in John 8:42 spoke to the people who were religious “why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say- ...
