    Seeking God and trying to grow in Faith! (Prayers Please)

    This is probably going to be a long post! Here we go! I grew up in a christian household my whole life. My parents got saved when they met each other 20 years ago. So, I've been taught to pray and call upon the name of Jesus. Soon when I was about 10, I fell into sin....hard. I started...

    His Mercy and Grace

    Thursday, March 31, 2016, 4:52 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “All We Like Sheep.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Acts 1:1-11 (ESV). After His Suffering (vv. 1-3) In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day...

    Grace pure grace!

    “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9) The grace of God, the ‘loving-kindness’ of God, the ‘favor’ of God, is never to be understood as something that is manifest among men based on...

    How We Need to Love

    Sunday, March 20, 2016, 6:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “Jesus Paid It All.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read John 13:1-17 (ESV). He Loved His Own (vv. 1-4) Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this...

    Why Must We Suffer?

    Friday, March 11, 2016, 8:15 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song, “Open My Heart.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read John 5:1-15 (ESV).

    Straight-forward teaching! Check 'em out

    I'm so happy to have found this forum! As a former music director for a very large church here in Southern California, I have to say that it is often times a real challenge dealing with one's own soul care. Quite frankly, speaking for myself, I lost sight of why I was even in ministry to begin...

    Antithesis...the way of the Christian.

    The Christian is to be antithetical where the Lord God and the truth of His word, the Holy Bible, are concerned. The unredeemed people of this fallen world, following the powers of disobedience (Ephesians 2:2), are haters and enemies of God (Romans 1:30, Romans 8:7). They cannot know Him or be...

    Lord's Man - An unabashed Crusader!

    The man of God is a man of strength, determination and boldness. He is utterly faithful to the Lord and His Word and will speak the truth about God and defend that Word to the death. I would like to tell you that I am a bright and shining example of such a man. The truth is I am a miserable...

    Our Precious Redeemer

    Friday, February 12, 2016, 8:42 p.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Fear Not, Little Flock.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Luke 1:67-75 (ESV). Prophecies Spoken Zechariah was a priest in the temple of God. He and his wife Elizabeth were both upright in God’s eyes. They...

    Grace + Works is Dead

    We all know that faith without works is dead, but judging by many posts I've seen in this forum, it's clear many don't realize that grace + works is dead as well. Adding any works to grace ca. It can't save. "Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due." (Romans...
