Dead Works
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16 NKJV). The airwaves are filled with news of the death of the artist Prince; so much so that the 2016 Presidential campaign seems a distant past at the moment and nothing else going…

Upsetting The Apple Cart
“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work” (Titus 1: 15-16). Last year sometime I called in…

Idle Talk
“Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and idle babbling, for they will increase to more ungodliness” (2 Timothy 2:15-16). I don’t have to tell you that the meaning of words seems to have changed quite…

What Is At Stake?
” All day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and contrary people” (Romans 10:21, NKJV) I recently sent an email talking about faith, salvation, and obedience and I acknowledge, these are topics that cannot be truly expounded in its fullness via email; for it is a sensitive subject that has been…

They Come In His Name?

The Exclusionary Gospel
And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins” (John 8: 23-24…

Catastrophy in South Carolina
Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand; “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend…

The Oracles of God
If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen (1 Peter 4:11). You may have heard…

Misguided Confidence & Unholy Alliances
The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. Sever yourselves from such a man, whose breath is in his nostrils; for of what account is he? (Isaiah 2:11,22). The snow storm that swept through states up the east coast over the weekend…
