    Back to writing songs.

    I returned to church soon after turning 18. I made use of my guitar in church and soon wrote a song that I would perform. My early years were in the latin church, I was a pentecostal for many years until I married into the SDA. My early songs were in Spanish and several years after moving to...

    Was 1844 part of the latter rain?

    Before Jesus died, he breathed on his disciples and said receive the Holy Spirit. Pentecost came and the church was empowered to teach and preach the Gospel. In church history there are plenty of examples of God backing his word by conversions, miracles, inspiration, direction and strengthening...

    Did the latter rain begin in 1844?

    Before Jesus died, he breathed on his disciples and said receive the Holy Spirit. Pentecost came and the church was empowered to teach and preach the Gospel.

    A Mother's legacy.

    My mother-in-law died last Monday. We were at work when we heard that they were doing CPR on her. We were at the point of crying when we decided to call our boss to pray with us. I prayed first pleading that God would spare the family from this, that he would intervene. My boss prayed that God...

    Dearth of the word of God.

    An end time text that refers to our current state of affairs, and its only going to get worse. Years ago The Lord showed me a man behind the pulpit. He was expounding on the word, but there was one thing I noticed. He would cite a verse and immediately give a contradictory interpretation. Our...

    Decisions

    At the age of 19 the Lord gave me a vision. I saw myself praying before the platform. I saw before me upon the platform a throne. I saw the body of a man whose face I could not see because of an intense, blinding light hiding his face. I then saw around me shiny orbs that revolved around me ...

    Culture wars

    Culture wars, conservatives against liberals, woke against anti-woke. Yes, this secular warfare has infiltrated the SDA and is being fought over in youtube by pastors and their supporters as we speak. The question is, does this have a place in the church? The latest controversy is over Conrad...

    Ezekiel 4d

    I found a message in Ezekiel that refers to 390 days and years of Israel's iniquity. Verses 4 to 6 state that the day/year principle is at work. My question is; has this period been determined, does it correspond to the fall of Samaria and Jerusalem? Where does it start and end? Let me know what...

    EGW and the gift of word of knowledge.

    EGW had a way of showing up for a service and expose hidden sins be it a pastor with more than one family or someone who was embezzling from the church. The immediate result would be the fear of God upon the congregation. The word of knowledge is present in the prophetic writings of the OT. God...

    What about edification?

    Paul describes that we are all builders upon the foundation that is Jesus Christ. It's about making use of what God has given us. It's also about sharing what is conducive to faith, faithfulness, peace, love and joy. My experience with edification is limited to adding to a foundation, and...

    A liberal no more.

    Through most of my walk I had been a liberal christian, including my first 5 years as an SDA. What happened? First we moved to Tennessee. My wife got a job at the local bakery. One year later I got a job at the bakery after some 20 years of being disabled. When I realized that without reading...

    Bi-Polar since 2009.

    I was first diagnosed with severe depression in 2000. I was diagnosed as bi-polar in 2009. I didn't receive effective treatment until 2011. I had a problem with my mood stabilizer no longer being effective in 2015. It took months before I was on something more effective. At the moment I am...

    Good memories from my last non-denomination church.

    I began to go to a non-denomination church in 2013 when I remarried. There was a sense of belonging and there was freedom to worship. The music was contemporary and there appeared to be some ministerial development under way. I eventually joined the worship team, playing lead guitar and bass...

    EGW and the word of knowledge.

    Mrs White held the office of prophet from the early days of the movement. She would show up in places where she would declare happenings that were unknown to those townspeople, be it men with more than one family, embezzlers and others. God would reveal things to her and the fear of God would be...

    621 BCE the last revival and the falling away.

    King Josiah instituted religious reforms and convoked a Passover celebration in 621 BCE, which was the greatest to be celebrated before the fall of Jerusalem. After his death a series of apostate kings ruled in Judah, reintroducing idol worship. Jeremiah would address both the faithful and those...

    Discussion It was fun guys.

    Its been a pleasure to have been a part of this forum and its been good as far as seeing what can be termed as what most believers think and understand. Its very important as over the years I have had plenty of experiences that because they are scripture-related, they have formed the basis for...

    Discussion Over much shall I place you.

    Among several workers there is one that begins with one talent who eventually fails, yet, what was God's intention behind this part of the parable? It wasn't an entry-level position, it was something he was in charge of and as such, he had enough experience to be entrusted over part of the...

    Discussion The bursting of wineskins.

    A system of thought, a following of others that have been there. It would become a dangerous paradigm that enslaved the many as it was ineffective, as Paul later said that those things found lacking would soon disappear. Yet even today you can see that man's collective hunch is a vain exercise...

    Discussion Phase II

    For the last two years, since the day I joined my current church, God has put upon my heart that the church will do Phase II. Its the stepping up of an entire generation, its the assumption of ever-growing roles developed within this particular church. I had plans to keep on saying that well...
