  • Essential Personnel

    And He was telling them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, beg the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest. Go forth! Look, I am sending you as lambs in the midst of wolves”. luke 10:2-3 D​avid, after he was almost killed in battle against the Philistines, gave thanks…

  • Faith Is Not Irresponsible

    “I am Adonai—there is no other. Besides Me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known Me, so they may know, from the rising to the setting of the sun, that there is no one besides Me. I am Adonai—there is no other. I form light and create darkness. I make shalom and create calamity. I, Adonai, do all these things.” Isaiah…

  • New Beginning

    I also heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is among men, and He shall tabernacle among them.

We are created to be social beings, created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). For this reason we have formed social clubs, sports leagues, communities, and political systems that we…

  • The Usurper

    “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive”. (John 5:43) It is difficult not to come to the conclusion that the Church in America has abdicated its authority to political usurpers who feed on it for political gain; like…

  • Unrighteous Zealots

    “Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words”. (Proverbs 23:9) In my devotional reading this morning, Dr. Adam Dooley of Dauphin Way Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama commented that “Believers should neither feel obligated to nor responsible for those who hate the truth.” Dr. Dooley…
