Read MorePlease friend heed the warning, there is just a step between you and death and you never know when that step will be taken. I heard that Bro Calvin Evans preached a message out of this passage and a few hours later took that last step into eternity. He never thought, I’m sure, when he preached this message that it would be his last or that he was that close to death.
Read MoreJesus asked his disciples this question. who do ,men say I am? That is the question that man still wrestles with today. Today just as then many have different opinions of who Jesus is. But it really matters who you say that He is. Many think he was a good man, a good teacher and even a holy man. All are true but He was much more than these. He was the only begotten Son of God, the Saviour of men’s souls. To all that would believe in him and confess Him as Lord.
Read MoreMoses almost got to the Promised Land but because of his disobedience he never got to enter in with the children of Israel. God had told him to speak to the rock but in anger he struck the rock. That seems like a small thing but disobedience is disobedience.
Read MoreWe are living in a time like has never been in our lifetimes, where wickedness is upheld and right is looked on as being evil. I think a prophet said that was taking place in his day and that has been around 2400 years ago (give or take a few years).
Read MoreWe are living in a day where it seems everyone is looking for something new. A new “Bible”, a new way to sing, preach, pray and worship. This has been a problem for
years and years.
Read MoreWe must never forget what Jesus did for us on the cross of Calvary. His body was broken for us and He shed His blood for us to save us from sin. We could not save ourselves but only the perfect sacrifice could. I never want to forget what He did for me and my hope is I never will. What can help us remember? Scripture .If we can saturate our minds with the word of God it will not be in vain. Remember this scripture ;
Read MoreGabriel told Mary she was higly favored and blessed among women. Scripture tells us she was troubled when she saw him and heard what he said. That would make anyone troubled and cause one to try to figure out what was going on. She knew it was impossible for her to have a son seeing she had not had relations with a man. Then Gabriel told her not to fear because she had found favor with God. This
Read MoreIn the Old Testament there are at least 324 prophecies that point to the Messiah. Did you know that only one, did you get that, one man fulfilled all 324 prophecies? His name was Jesus, he was the fulfillment of them all.
Read MoreI would like to think that I am still learning from life’s experiences and by doing this I will grow in the Lord and be able to help others along the way. I was talking to one of my doctors the other day and he said you need to remember those things you have experienced in the past few weeks as they will give you the ability to preach the Word and have life experience to bring it to where we are today.
Read MoreIn today’s world I am afraid we have become so accustomed to the blessings of the Lord that we take them for granted. Even children today are so accustomed to getting stuff that they are not grateful for what they receive. They receive more in one month than we used to receive in a whole year and I for one was grateful for everything I got.
Read MoreWe are nearly at the end of the fall foliage, some places are still colorful. They also declare God’s glory. It has been called God’s coloring book. But to a lost world they have no clue that it is God that makes all this beauty.
Read MoreAgain Strong’s tells us that righteous is: holy, innocent, just, meet. So who might we consider as righteous? Jesus was the only righteous one that was born righteous and died righteous. Hence the only righteous men are the ones that have accepted Jesus as Savior and His righteousness makes them righteous.

Read MoreYou won’t get revived at a ballgame or sitting on the couch watching whatever you watch. You won’t be revived sitting on the lake or sitting in the woods. But you just might get revived if you go to the house of the Lord and hear the Word. We all say we want revival but are we willing to deny ourselves and put forth the effort to be in a place where there will be singing, scripture, praying and preaching.
Read MoreWe are always taking sides in life. It may be arguments, politics, family problems or sports. We all are prone to take sides.
Read MoreIn Hebrew the word fear has a meaning of fear, reverence and dreadful. We all should reverence the Lord and understand the consequences of disobedience of Him and fear Him for He is all mighty and all powerful. The scripture below tells us it is this.
Read MorePaul wrote to the Romans that it was high time to awake, knowing the time. We can look around us and see how bad things are in the world. We must know that we are living in the last of time. It maybe closer to midnight than we realize.
Read MoreAre you faithful to your local Church? If you hold a position, whether it be a deacon, teacher, usher or just one that opens the door for folks, are you faithful? It is hard to expect others to be faithful if you are not setting the example how should you expect anyone else to be faithful.
Read MoreMany say this train of thought just came into existence in the early 1800’s but I submit that Paul was looking for the great catching away in his day.
