For those who know the scriptures, the above title is a spin of a text in Romans 11:25, which reads, "Blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. First century Israel, who knew not the time of her visitation, (Luke 19:41-44), rejected their Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, desired a robber, Barabbas in his place, and pledged their allegiance to the Gentile king, Caesar.The LA Times reported today that "mega-church pastors recently met in Inglewood,...
"...the Holy Inquisition selected with extreme care the freest and boldest men in order to burn or imprison them. In Spain alone some of the best men- those who doubted and questioned, and without doubting there can be no progress- were eliminated during three centuries at the rate of a thousand a year. The evil which the Catholic Church has thus effected is incalculable..."-- Charles Darwin, "The Descent of Man," 1871, chapter 5The religious concept has always baffled me. In our science,...
This author has a dear friend who says that tithing is the worst thing a Christian can do if he really wants to prosper. Of course, he did not mean this in a negative way.
He just means he has learned that tithing alone will not generate real wealth for us Christians. Tithing is only part one of God's wealth generation process.
He learned by personal experience, that giving beyond the tithe is the answer to really unlocking the doors to heaven's vault. Of course, we start with the tithe....
Philippians 4:6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.Have you ever stopped to consider that God's peace keeps us? The word that we just read said it does. It keeps our hearts or spirits, and it also keeps our mind or soul.In today's world you see all kinds of self help programs designed...
Matthew 25:34. "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, `Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:Have you ever stopped to consider that God sees us from an eternal viewpoint, that He considers us valuable, and has a long term plan for us? We on the other hand have a tendency many times to think of ourselves only in the here and now, and someday we get to go to heaven. It is true someday we get to go to Heaven, if...
Antichrist has no interest or connection to any religion or the occult. He largely worships himself as most megalomaniacs do. He is a political and military genius who is deeply involved with the propagation of his own agenda. That agenda will be the implementation of an entirely new economic system that will sweep the globe. It will be accepted in all quarters of the world and will be geo-politically pervasive. Most of the world will get onboard his new economic ship without flinching....
The Catholic Church pulled out big guns and called the Da Vinci a complete fairy tale, but it was the Catholic Church who looks silly now as this Tale grossed 224 Million over the weekend? Whoops? Did the Catholic Church once again stick its foot in its mouth? This huge volume ties one of the other all time records of Star Wars Episode III. The movie made massive amounts in the United States. Although many of the reviews were considered negative most movie-goers did not listen and instead...
I will love them freely ... (Hosea 14:4 NKJV).Unconditional love! Sounds great, doesn't it? To love in spite of instead of spite ... Unconditional! Who can do this? How can I love this person who has ripped my heart into tiny bits of hate and resentment? Oh yes, I read and reread that lovely passage from 1 Corinthians 13 when I feel the anger and hate welling up. I have even made a poster out of the NIV version of Verse 5: [Love] keeps no record of wrongs to keep me from dredging out the...
Do we have the inner peace that comes from God in spite of our trials and difficulties? The shed blood of Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins. With his stripes we can be healed of our physical diseases. What about our griefs and sorrows? Does the sacrifice of Jesus Christ deal with the pains of the mind? The purpose of this article is to explain how Jesus Christ bore our griefs and sorrows.The Sufferings of Jesus ChristThe prophet Isaiah wrote about the future sufferings of...
Jesus Christ will marry the church when he returns to set up the Kingdom of God. He loved the church and gave himself for it as recorded in Ephesians 5:25-27:"25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish." (KJV)Yes,...
I was watching a news program not to long ago and a guest was talking about God's wrath being poured down on the United States because of the moral decay in society. The guest took a very high moral ground not admitting any faults with in themselves, their congregation, or the church in general.Is God punishing the world? He may be, but who am I to judge the hearts of man. When hurricane Katrina hit the gulf coast I don't think any one thought that God was punishing the people that lived...
Lk:22:24. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.Mk:9:34. But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.The disciples were always arguing over who should be called the greatest among them, but God sees things from a different perspective, not necessarily the way we see ourselves.My question is what does God call great?I would like to start off by examining the parable of the talents.Matthew...
Goodmorning God. We gotta talk.Are you aware of what is going on down here? I mean really, we need some help and I thought it better to email you than just get down on my knees and pray. You've seen me pray over the years, alone in that closet under the eaves in my college dorm at first, and then those sterile little "prayer closets." I specifically remember asking that you guide me to do this and that right thing, and wow, after all these years, you're idea of guiding and mine were...
The Bible tells us that God implemented the Sabbath day, at the time of creation as a memorial to his wondrous work. It says, Gen 2:2-3 "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made".
This shows clearly that at the beginning of time the seventh day was the day set apart by...
As we continue our investigation into the biblical concept of wisdom, it behooves us to scrutinize briefly a few passages associated intimately with the notion of an understanding heart. For as we will soon see, the Bible teaches that true wisdom flourishes only in the person of one whose heart displays a tendency to look for the good in others. First, I wish to note 1 Kings 3:5-15:In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee. And...
