It isn’t the virus and government that’s keeping people out of the church. Only 20% of Americans go to church. 85% of that 20% spend 60-70% of their waking hours in a marketplace environment each week (only 3 hours a week in the church). The Holy Spirit is telling “followers of Jesus” to “deny ourselves, […]
Read MoreResurrection: A Fact of History!
Jesus was a “Man of History”. Even Islam recognizes Him as a prophet. That’s a fact! He claimed to be “God”! He was executed by the People of God (the children of Abraham) on a Roman cross because of that claim. That’s a fact! Then, He was raised from the dead and seen by hundreds […]
Read MoreDon’t Take Up Your Cross Until…
Jesus said that “if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23) The Holy Spirit draws us by the grace of God to the mercy seat for salvation. Jesus’ cross is that “mercy seat”. To be “Born Again”, one must confess and […]
Read More“GIVE US THE FACTS!!!”
“STOP BEGGING FOR THE TRUTH!” Our Founders wanted the press to give us the “facts”, not the “truth”. The electorate (Government of the People, by the People and for the People) will determine the “Truth” for themselves and choose their governmental representatives accordingly. That’s what a Constitutional Republic is all about. Here’s the problem. In […]

“Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.” (Hebrews 13:17) As a Pastor of local churches, I will stand before the “Judgment Seat of […]
Read MoreTHE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP!
Would you publicly declare your faith/trust in Jesus Christ if doing so would require losing your friends? Losing your family? Giving up your U.S. citizenship? What if it would cost you your freedom? How about your life? Such is the “cost of discipleship” in many places around the world. “Christians” have it so easy in […]
Read More“Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Men?”
The Kingdom of God through “Checks and Balances” produces Freedom. Secular Humanism through “Dictatorship or Oligarchy” results in Tyranny! Tyranny can be left-wing or right-wing…Democrat or Republican…Socialist or Capitalist. “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” (Proverbs 14:12) Kingdom of God v. Kingdom of […]

“Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.” (Matthew 9:17) Jesus had just healed a man that many religious leaders in the crowd were sure had been made […]
Read More“Alignment Precedes Assignment!”
In the Kingdom of God, a person’s alignment will determine his or her assignment. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) With what or with whom are we primarily or ultimately aligned? Republican, Democrat, Independent? Conservative, Progressive? Free Market or Controlled Economy? […]
Read More“A Wall or The Book?”
” But there shall by no means enter it (Heaven) anything that defiles, or causes[b] an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” (Revelation 21:27) People ask me why, at this late stage in my life, am I so interested in sharing the Gospel with young men […]
