The truth of God’s Word is being lost in a labyrinth of new spirituality, pseudo spirituality and inter spirituality. I shouldn’t say lost God’s Word because it is still there, but the passion and relevancy it once held in the life of the church is becoming lost.
Matthew 24:4-5
And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take [...]

I have a book that was given to me by someone at a garage sale called The Church of Irresistible Influence by Robert Lewis with Rob Wilkins. The book utilizes bridge building stories to discuss bridging this Great Chasm that spans between the church and the community around the church. Leveraging stories of physical chasms [...]

You know it is awesome that God has a plan and a purpose. Today I was reading in Jeremiah 24 and was excited to encounter this verse, of course it has always been there but we never really pause the implications of such a statement by God…

The latest person to come back from the dead

Seems in recent years there has been an ever increasing number of instances. A few weeks ago in California a 6 year old boy without a heartbeat for 2 hours, a man in a traffic accident awoke in a morgue, an elderly woman who was taken off [...]

I know most Christians are aware of Spiritual Warfare, but the disconnect is really evident though when we get into talking about the realities of demonism, witchcraft or simply the active efforts and manifestations of all that opposes the Kingdom of God if we really want to call it what it ultimately is. It is [...]

1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected [...]

With some of my recent involvement in another blog discussion around doctrine and theology, I thought this would be a good time for me to post a handout from a doctrine course I wrote for new believers some years ago. I apologize for the format the WP editor has some limitations and I’m too lazy [...]
