Defining Moments

Our Christian lifestyle defines who we are in Christ.  We who have accepted Jesus as Lord of our lives defines the moment we became separated from a life in darkness.  Perhaps at one point in our lives we were not associated with what a surrendered life is not.  A surrendered life is not giving up its' giving in to Christ taking complete charge of our lives.  When God led Moses and the Israelites out of bondage to crossing a divided Red Sea on dry ground was a defining moment in their lives. They did not know before hand how God was going to save them from Pharaoh's charging Army; yet when Moses stretch forth his arms with his staff in hand the power of God manifested in the parting of the Sea and they cross over on dry land safe and secure. When we are faced with uncontrollable circumstances in our lives do we fall in the sea of despair or do we call on God and trust he will make a way when there seems no way just as the Israelites had a defining moment in th...

The Revelation

The author of the Book of Revelation is the Apostle John (Rev. 1:1, 9; 21:2, 22:8).  The title of the book describes the content and purpose of John's writing.  The word "Revelation" means" to take the cover off," from the Greek word apokalupsis.   It is the uncovering or unveiling of the glory of Christ, and of future events (1 Thess 2:19).

There are four views on the interpretation of the the Book of Revelation.  The first is the preterist view.  It places the events and visions described as belonging to the past, particularly to the Roman Empire of the first century A.D.  The proponents of this view explain the highly symbolic ...

What God Requires

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul. (Deuteronomy 10: 12, Key Bible, KJV) God requires of us to fear him, love him, and praise him.  That doesn't seem like much to ask, does it?  Apparently these three requirements coupled with " surrender" causes humankind to carry on in their lives in a manner that probably has God scratching his head, saying Huh! People go to church, tithe, pray and all that goes with going to church.  Something is missing in many churches and that is worship.  Worship and praise are one not separate.  Teaching is a part of worship and there is to much entertaining going on in what is suppose to be God's House.  No one likes to hear this but those who obey The Gospel of Jesus Christ are bound to call things as they are without compromise. No, Christians will not be ...
