Learning To Pray
Successfully

The point is that you can’t bargain with God. It has to be His will in your life, not yours. I had to learn not to be a backseat driver, and to let the Holy Spirit have control of the wheel and navigation. It doesn’t matter whether you know where you’re going or not. The Lord knows where He’s taking you! Remember, God promised Abraham that he would be the father of many nations (Genesis17:4-5).

God's Strategy in
Spiritual Warfare

Have you ever felt like God has abandoned you? Do you often feel that you are all alone in your walk with Christ? That even your church and fellow Christians don’t know what you are going through? And you feel that they will never understand. You ask yourself, "Why is this coming upon me?" Perhaps you have been trying to live for God but everything you do seems to go wrong...

January-February 2018
Satan's Subtle
Schemes and Strategy

To show you how deceptive Satan and his demons (fallen angels) are, one of their favorite lies is that humans can come back after death as ghosts and haunt people. Some individuals have engaged in occult practices, such as a séance. This is strictly forbidden in the Bible (Deuteronomy 18:10 and Isaiah 47:13)! The Bible tells us that this is the only life we have on earth.

Early Winter 2017-18
Gifts
From God

We all like to receive useful gifts. But did you know who is the greatest gift giver of all? It is the Lord Himself. Salvation alone is a gift beyond anything we humans deserve. However, after salvation, God gives even more gifts to those who love and serve Him. Unlike the clothes, flowers, candy, etcetera, that we mortals give, God's gifts never wear out or become obsolete.

Mid Autumn 2017
Special
Edition

For it is easy to become disillusioned as this world drifts further away from the light of Christ. One topic that seems to be on the minds of a lot of Americans lately is the controversy over the "Star Spangled Banner" being played during sporting events. What's scary for some is that this once united country has become very divided.

Autumn 2017
Spiritual
Fruit

The question has been in the mind of people for thousands of years. "How can I please God?" The unsaved ask, "What can God do for me?" But the spiritually mature in Christ ask, "Lord, what is Your will for my life?" So it's not about what we can do for God, but what God can do through us... God wants good spiritual fruit from us, not carnal!

Summer 2017
The Pre-Adamic
Kingdom of Darkness

Now, let’s get to the root of the issue. All these problems boil down to one general fact. People don’t fear God anymore! And who is mostly responsible for this? It’s the purveyors of "secular humanism," that liberal propaganda that has reached its tentacles into vast segments of society! In other words, it is brainwashing the public to disregard any biblical teachings or moral values.

Spring 2017
Glorious Things of
Thee Are Spoken

One of my favorite hymns is "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" by John Newton. The music is so beautiful and the words are music to my ears. It’s because, for those of us who love and serve Jesus, it moves our thoughts away from the carnal things of this world. And it encourages our confidence and trust in God and His promises to us.

Winter 2016-17
Do You Think God Has
Stopped Loving You?

Let's face it, this is a very difficult world in which we live, especially in these last days before the Lord's return. Satan wants to weaken our faith and drown out every vestige of Christianity from our culture... Faith is the key to the whole thing! For, if the enemy can weaken our faith he weakens the church. For "...without faith it is impossible to please God..." (Hebrews 11:6 NIV).

Late Autumn 2016
The Trump
Controversy

There is nothing in all creation that is as special to God as repentant sinner. Those who condemn Trump the most for something that happened eleven years should look in the mirror of God themselves, the Bible, and see how they measure up. Who among us isn’t ashamed and embarrassed about something they did in their life that they would not want others to know about?

Autumn 2016
Those Sinfully
Bad Apples

The problem is that as society continues to draw further away from the traditional Judo-Christian values America was founded on, the bad apple population increases. And Satan has added a new component to his recipe for the decay of society. We are told thru educational establishments, liberals, and modern entertainment that we are not supposed to criticize anyone...

Summer 2016
Weathering
The Storm

How comforting it is to know that when we put the Lord totally first in our lives, God protects us even when we do not know we are in danger. And in this crazy world we live in today those of us who love Christ need His constant protection. We trust God to keep us safe. As believers, we all go through trials and tests of faith. However, if you want the Lord’s protection you must put Him first in your life!

Mid-Winter 2016
Take Your Troubles
To The Lord

The problem is that elevating Christian pastors up on a pedestal, and putting ones trusttotally in human wisdom is not good for the pastor. And it is not good for the congregation. For it can lure him into the sin of pride (Prov. 16:5). And there’s nothing that can cause a worse roadblock between humans and God! It was the original sin that caused Lucifer to think that he was smarter than God.

New Year 2015
A New Year's
Message

With all the gift giving we Christians do during the holiday season, there is usually one person missing from our gift list. That is the guest of honor, who is so often overlooked among the gaiety of festivities. With all the houses lit up during the Christmas season, one in particular caught our eye. In colorful lights on the front lawn of a home the message read "Happy Birthday Jesus."

Winter 2014-15
Seven Mistakes
Christians Make

As Christians we need to grow in our walk with God. The Born Again experience is only the beginning of our relationship with the Lord. Not the end! We were not saved from the power of this sinful world (1 John 2:15-17) so that we can continue to live as before (Ephesians 2:1-5). It is the job of the church to teach the congregation how to please the Lord (see 1 Peter 5:1-11).

Autumn 2013
Stumbling Blocks
To Faith

Have you been having a problem with your walk with the Lord lately? Does it seem like something is missing? Were you once feeling so close to Christ that you felt joy and peace in your heart but now it’s as if something is blocking your way? That's a familiar problem many Christians go through in their walk with God. I went through it myself back in the 1980's.

Autumn 2012
The Importance of
Putting Christ First

Satan will dangle his bait right under your nose. Like the forbidden fruit, it will seem good to your senses (Genesis 3:6). But there’s a hook in there that the devil will use to reel you in! "...Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death" (James 1:14-15 NIV).

Autumn 2011
Bye-Bye, Miss
American Pie

Then the chorus comes again. "'Bye-bye, Miss American Pie’ drove a Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry..." Repeating the same theme that we as a nation were no longer attached to the Vine of Christ (John 15:1-8) and therefore, had no spiritual moisture to grow good fruit (Gal. 5:22-25). The consequences are a dead, spiritually lifeless nation that appears to God...

Winter 2010-11
Lies and
Deception

There is nothing that makes the Lord more proud of us than our faith and confidence in Him. And nothing displeases Him more than our lack of faith (Hebrews 11:6)! Nevertheless, the Lord often overlooks our fears and human frailties as long as we love Him with all our heart and try to please Him (Psalms 103:13-14). Many lies among God’s loved ones are committed out of fear.

Autumn 2007
Wolves In Sheep's
Clothing

Do you think that you have been suffering because God doesn’t love you? No! It is because He loves you so much (see John 3:16, Romans 5:3-8, 1 John 4:16)! He is a loving Shepherd to His sheep. He sees the wolves out there. He knows how they are devouring their prey (Ezekiel 22:26-28, 2 Peter 2:17-22, Galatians 2:4-6, Jude 1:10-13). And He is warning His precious flock to turn away from the things of this world.

Autumn 2004
Contending For
The Faith

Christ can deliver anyone from sin, no matter how vile that sin may be. But He cannot do anything with the proud hypocrites who, through their church attendance and social programs, think they can buy their way into Heaven! Pride was the original human sin (Genesis 3:1-6)! The only thing worse is hypocrisy added to pride! Nothing gets in God's way more than those who claim to love Him, yet do evil in His name!

Autumn 2002
A Chasing Of
The Wind

There are many spiritual levels to reach as we live for Jesus Christ. How far any of us go depends upon whether or not we pass the preliminary trials and tests of faith (1 Peter 2:18-23). Everything will be going well for awhile. Then, the Lord begins to turn up the heat (Proverbs 17:3). When this occurs, most people wonder, “What happened? God was blessing me so much!” Life suddenly becomes a lot harder.

Spring 2000
From Egypt To The
Promised Land

So if you love the Lord with all your heart (see Mark 12:30), but have been suffering all kinds of weird afflictions, take heart! For God is preparing, in you, an unshakable foundation! Consequently, if you have been feeling the Refiner's Fire, (Zechariah 13:9, Jeremiah 9:7, Psalm 66:10, Isaiah 48:10, 1 Peter 1:3-9, Rev. 3:18-19), you are in good company. All the prophets and apostles of God have felt it.

Autumn 1999
Soul Winning For
Jesus Christ

One of the greatest desires of those of us who love and serve Jesus Christ is to bring new souls into His Heavenly Kingdom. We want to lead them to Christ so that they will receive the same love (1 Peter 1:22), hope (Acts 26:6-7), peace (Phil. 4:7), and joy (Nehemiah 8:10) that we have in our Lord. It is a desire every Christian should have. In fact, it is a part of the Great Commission!

May/July 1999
Trials and Tests
of Faith

Peter was right. These things were definitely strange! But then, "...we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against... spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12 KJV). You see, God allows attacks like this to occur so that, after He has accomplished the things He planned to do (see Isaiah 55:10-11), "...no flesh should glory in His presence" (1 Cor. 1:29 KJV).

January/February 1999
Successful Christian
Living

As soon as we try to do what Christ tells us to do, every roadblock imaginable gets in our way. On the surface, it looks as if Satan is winning the battle. That obstacle seems like a mountain and we feel so tiny compared to it. So we look to Christ for our strength! The Lord will fight for us, as long as we remain in His will. God not only wants to win the battle, he wants to make the enemy grovel in defeat!

July/August 1998
Do You Resist The
Holy Spirit?

Our Creator is not interested in fancy cathedrals or beautiful buildings made by men. "'Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house will you build for Me?' says the Lord... 'You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit!'" (Acts 7:49-51 NIV). That is the biggest mistake in the Christian church! People want to please God in their own way.

May/June 1998
Truth, Light and The
Servant of God

Remain in the Vine and do not be discouraged by the rumblings of the world around you (Psalm 37). For those who build their house on anything carnal will fall by the wayside (Matt. 13:4, 13:19, 7:24-27, 1 Corinthians 3:11, Ephesians 2:19-22). But when we build our house upon the faith and trust we have in Christ Jesus, "...the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18 KJV).

March/April 1997
Cain, Balaam,
and Korah

"Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam's error; they have been destroyed in Korah's rebellion" (Jude 1:11 NIV). The spiritual influence of these three men is very prevalent in the church today! None of these men were pagans! Each of them claimed to love God, and to be living for Him! Nevertheless, each one of them was self-righteous and rebellious.

January/February 1997
Living By
Faith

When our faith is built on the Rock, the earth loses its power over us! As the prophet said, "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings" (Psalm 40:2 KJV). When we rely on our own flesh, we will fail (Psalm 127:1). However, when we trust in Christ, His Spirit is there to guide us no matter how fierce the storm or how dark it may get.

August 1995
Roadmap
to Heaven

The narrow path that leads to Heaven is a race for the finish line. You have to stay on the straight and narrow. Many people believe that they can sin a little now and then make up for it later by doing a few good deeds. It won't work! Jesus paid an incredible price for our sins 2000 years ago, but unless you love Him enough to live for Him on a daily basis, putting Him first in your life, you will not make it to Heaven!

February 1995
Politics Versus
The Word of God

One of the biggest problems the church faces today is the tremendous amount of false doctrine, not just on theological, but also on political issues as well. Doctrines of demons are usually promoted by the twisted scripture approach. That's where one verse is taken out of context and its meaning is totally changed. This has been used as a tool of Satan to manipulate Christians for years.

September 1994
Nimrod, Cain,
and Martha

Like Nimrod, Cain, & Martha, there will always be those who feel they can get all the way into Heaven through man-made success. But Nimrod’s kingdom was destroyed, Cain's life was ruined, and Martha was reprimanded by Jesus in front of her sister! So, remember the words of the Lord, "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the Earth" (Psalms 46:10 KJV).
