Reflections
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 ...

In the book of Acts 2:40 it says, “And with many others words; he (Apostle Peter) testified and exhorted them, saying be saved from this perverse generation.” Peter was speaking to the people in the 1st Century just as the Pastors are speaking to this Century. Somethings never change. People still need to be saved. Right? Are we still living in a perverse generation? Is it worse than the 1st Century? I think not! What do you think? They believed and acted on killing babies. Read about the Canaanite god Molech in Lev. 20:2-5 as our God was givi...

And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, So God created man in his own image in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it… “God gave man a mission. God wanted men to know that a feeling of p...

We live in dark times however there is the light that is in the world which is in you and I; the Holy Spirit. “I am the light of the world He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” (John 8:12) and He has said, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket but on a lampstand and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.&rd...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Things are chaotic in our world. America is in decline. Even though some may want to believe that we are progressing toward utopia. Living here in America we have noticed our government is moving closer to socialism and a one world government. We also noticed that to be a true-blue Evangelical Christian we must walk on eggshells at work and in the marketplace. (PC) The accepted belief system currently seems to be Secular Humanism (Man does not need God). There does not seem to be any professional arena in America where Christians are free to speak about t...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Today we celebrate Memorial Day. It is a day set aside to honor and remember the military personnel who died in the performance of their duty. Why do we have the military? To defend our nation against external threats and ensure security for our nation. Did you know that we live in enemy territory? The Bible tells us in I Peter 5:8 “ ..because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.” The military is assigned to various locations to expose the enemy before damage occurs. Our location is “where ...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In the book of Rev. 3:2 Jesus told the church in Sardis, “Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain… that are ready to die… for I have not found your works perfect before God.” I assert that Christ has called the church (people called out) to be a safeguard for the next generation. We all know that the young people in the public schools and colleges are facing pressure to go along with transgenderism and abortions, same sex relationships and now the Marxist- ideology. We as a church should know that when the state rights...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Today is Mother’s Day. Some of you are Mothers. All of you had at least a biological Mother and/or you know a Mother. And because we live in a sin infested world many have struggled with infertility, the sorrow of miscarriages and regretful abortions. Broken and sin sick relationships have tainted many of our experiences with our mothers. In the Bible there were lots of mothers, such as Eve, Ruth, Naomi, Mary, Elizabeth, etc. They were human with all the weaknesses that we have…but if we were name characteristics that these ladies had in comm...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Many people are spiritually lost due to the sinful preoccupations of this world, and they can’t find their way to the Father’s house unless we the church sweep through the world seeking to share truths to them. The world is a mess. People in power make decisions we do not agree with. Confusion, lies, distortion of truth injures the innocent. Such as affirming transgenderism beginning in kindergarten classes…when God clearly told us in Mark 9:42 “But whoever causes one of the little ones who believe in Me to stumble. It would be be...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Let’s talk about LOVE. First John 4:16-19 says, “God is Love and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this that we may have boldness in the day of judgement because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. we love him because he first loved us.” In what ways does our culture abuse the notion of LOVE to justify actions God says are sinful? Our culture seem...
