Let us talk for a moment on the subject of witnessing. By witnessing I mean us standing as an example and a voice for the LORD Jesus Christ, and his church. According to the Word of God we are to go out into the world and compel people to come and hear the truth about salvation and the gift of eternal life. It is our jobs as followers of Jesus Christ to help bring in new followers that will one day lead the churches we now work in today. To be a witness of Christ the word says we must abide in…

Is the United States of America a Christian nation? This subject is now on the mouths of our top leaders throughout the country. It has been said already by our top officials, that we indeed are not. Was the USA founded on the principals of God, or it is not? If you were asked today, how would you respond? There are those that would say we have those of the “enlightment” and those of the “faith’ within our great country, seeking each of their views of prosperity. Some simply saying the “church”…

In Ephesians 4:13 we read about the subject of unity: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. What does this scripture mean to you? Pointing out the first statement in the verse: till we all come in the unity of the faith. If we all take a step back and look out into the world in which we live we will see a body of believers that seem to be divided into many different…

In your eyes, what is a Christian? When a person says they are a Christian what do you expect to see? Should a Christian be like everyone else, or perhaps should they be extremely different. Is there such a thing as a radical Christian? The term Christian is taken from the belief of Christianity, meaning a Christian is a follower of the Christianity faith or simply Christ. To be a true Christian, one must be a follower of Jesus Christ. When we make the decision to accept Christ into our hearts,…

We live in the United States of America. We live in a land that was created and founded under the precept that there is one God in Heaven and that this nation would give honor to that God. We live in a nation that once placed the moral concepts of God into our schools, our homes, and even the laws of our country. We live in a country that believed in freedom of religion and not simply freedom from religion. This nation has been blessed do to this. Though brothers and sisters in Christ there is…

On a scale from 1-10 where would you judge your life’s difficulty? Is it everything as you excepted it to be? Life by far is not easy; challenges are thrown to us on a daily basis. Many times it seems that when one problem seems fixed two more will pop up. Many people are led to believe that when you become a Christian your life becomes easier. That all of a sudden problems will simply go away. That is the furthest from the truth. In fact if we are sincerely seeking God and striving to live a…

In today’s world the hustle and bustle of everyday life can seem like a rat race. We go to our jobs, we pay our bills, and we support our family and we even contribute to our community. Most people will also have hobbies that help them to relax, or possibly to even make us happy. With all this together it can make for a full plate, and often with no room for anything else. As Christians this can be a serious situation needing great attention. As Christian we love the Lord, and we would want to…

Holiness is word spoken of so many times in God’s word, but not so spoken of in our many churches. What is holiness? And how does it pertain to us as Christians. What does God except from us as his children? As we read God’s Word we see many times the subject of holiness and its extreme importance in our walk, as followers of Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 12:14
Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
As we see holiness is…

“In Jesus name” That is a phrase that is heard on almost every Christian from one time or another. To most, it is an every day thing in the prayer life of their Christian life. But what does it mean when people speak it. Unfortunately many in the Christian faith do not fully understand what that phrase means in its entirety. It becomes simply something that we say when we pray.
The phrase “In Jesus name “is just that, we are praying in his name, not our own. If we take a real look at the…

What does the word ministry mean to you? What comes to you mind when people speak about a ministry? Ministry for the most part means an organization or body that serves in some way to people. When people speak of ministry, most often the pictures of churches, clergy, chaplains etc come to mind, but there are other ministries that are so very important to the needs of our communities, yet are not always thought of as ministries. In the Word of God we reads in Romans 13:1
Every person must…

Choices; we are on a daily basis forced to make choices. Some choices we can think about, while others require us to make instant decisions. As we all know these choices we make, create the life each of us live. “For every action, there is a reaction”. Often in our growth as Christians we will make wrong choices. We must understand that though there is forgiveness in lives, there is most likely a chain of events going to flow down. Much like that of the typical game of Dominos. God gave each…

America, what does that word mean to you? To most it means a land of liberty and freedom. A land not afraid of self expression and a land where individuals are free to worship God, without fear of persecution. If we go back to the beginning, we will see this great country of ours was formed for the purpose of religious freedom. Fleeing the grasp of the controlling monarchy, into a new land destined to be the United States of America.
As Christians we know this. We understand our country…

Revival, do you seek revival? Has the empowering spirit within you somewhat diminished. How about the church atmosphere, is it not what it used to be? Perhaps we as a whole can pray for a revival that will touch the hearts of every man, women and child in and outside the church walls. To take not only the message of Jesus Christ out to our communities, but also take the love of Christ and to heal the burdened and hurting souls simply waiting for God's touch. Let us pray for our leaders as they…
