As the year of 2009 comes to a close. It would be a blessing to all of us to look back and see if and how our walk with God has grown/disappeared. What events over the last year affected your relationship with God? There is nothing more powerful than a person’s testimony. For this reason I wanted to see how many comments this post could get that would [...]
There is a day coming where prayer will no longer be the way in which we communicate to God. Now it is a great blessing to step into the conference room with the Creator of the Universe to seek His intervention and interceding in our lives. If we do not take advantage of this opportunity now, what joy would it be to speak to Him face to face?
There [...]
Have you checked out Google maps? It’s pretty neat; you just type in an address, hit the satellite button, and then you can zoom in. Most of the time you can zoom in and see the color of the car in front of your house. Now don’t run to Google and see if your car is still at home; the image you’ll see is several months old. But [...]
There has been a number of emails going around in regards to world calamity and destruction. Though we are to be diligent bible students, we must be careful to not accept everything that ‘makes sense’. I was recently sent a link regarding the pope’s coming visit to Jerusalem being a fulfillment of prophecy. I cannot say that I am familiar with such, but I do believe that when [...]
In 1857, a city missionary in New York, bending lowly before God in prayer for the perishing souls about him, pleadingly cried: Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? He daily reiterated the cry. His earnestness became intense. His faith took hold of the promises, and he rose to the expectation that hundreds and thousands would be converted to God. He had no idea how this would [...]

After gleaning over its 2008 U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, the Pew Forum found that women are more religious than men on a variety of measures.

I know it is a discussion being had in every corner of the earth. It seems that the world knows we are on the brink of something yet the church is asleep. Here is a list of things from the bible that fortell the world’s condition just before the return of Christ…Oh and by the way….it is even at the door…
Matthew 24
Wars, Rumors of Wars, Famines, Pestilences (Diseases), [...]
It is a deeper subject than one could cover in a few short sentences but have you ever thought about it. Satan’s claim from the garden was that God’s law was impossible to keep and therefore the devil’s case has been that no one can overcome sin and therefore clearly God’s law is unfair, unattainable, and if one sinner is allowed in heaven…why not let Lucifer back in [...]
‘Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, ‘Woe to those who call evil good,’ but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have [...]
As bizzarre as it may sound, scientists believe they have discovered that believing in God may actually reduce pain. Full Story

A preacher who has stated that he will not change his prayers…but if the state wants it, he will not break the law of the state. Are you kidding me? First of all how, is this really happening in the land of the free? Second, how can people be pushed over so easily when faced with laws that threaten conscience? I hope that we can be faithful when the [...]
Listening to a sermon the other day, I was blessed to hear about 4 different elements of worship found in the bible. The first was diligent study of God’s word/scripture/doctrine. There are many examples of that in the bible. The second was the amazing element of prayer. Our souls are refreshed when we go to the Father in prayer.
The third element in true worship was Music….hold the phone. [...]
There are examples in the bible of many different types of prayer. We can see Jesus up all night praying to the Father and being refreshed in the morning. Daniel faced Jerusalem when he prayed morning, noon, and night. Daniel was even known for how consistent he prayed openly on his balcony. Elijah prayed in faith and fire came down from heaven. There are countless amazing stories of [...]
