  • The denominational Christian Church:  Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, Evangelical, Presbyterian, Congregational, Orthodox, Reformed, Nazarine, UCC, Latter Day Saints, Four-Square Gospel, Pentecostal (the list is by no means all-inclusive)
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • What kind of a God would have us be afraid of Him?
 
  • We cannot obey; we cannot save ourselves from death.  Each and every one of us WILL die, yet we NEED to be saved from it.  Who will do it?
 
  • The Gospel is methodically being silenced as hate speech while doors to public facilities swing wide open to accomodate every other faith and perversion of God's good gifts.  If we say that Christ lives, and that he came to seek and to save the lost, and that Christ lives in us, then we have no choice but to keep seeking and saving the lost, no matter the cost.
 
 

 

  • Which ugly truth do you want to hear:  that our sin really is that bad?  or that Satan has entered God's churches and told us that our sin is not all that bad?

          There is a truth that brings real comfort, but we have to tell it all.

 

 
  •  What is the most important commandment?  i.e. Which commandment should we try hardest to obey?  There is A More Important Question.
 
  •  Politicians and policies to not facilitate change; Jesus Christ does so if you want change, dust off the Cobwebs on the Crucifix.
     

 

  • Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world To Save Sinners of whom I am the worst 1 Timothy 1:15

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Zeved habat:  Now for the new year, resolve to put your trust in the NAME of JESUS. 

 

 
  • Christian, if we let another soul pass into destruction without a word for the sake of peace and political correctness, our sin is the greater one.  We must be
    A CONFESSING CHURCH
 
  • When doubts, fears,  worries, and guilt plague your mind and your spirit, confidence, power, trust, and forgiveness are at The Right Hand of the Father 

 
 

 

  • "Today I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses.  I am offering you life or death, blessings or curses.  Now, choose life!  Then you and your children may live."  Deuteronomy 30:19    WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT?
 
 
  • Do you feel attacked, afraid, alone, hopeless, or just tired?   Learn how the Spirit of Evil attacks and deceives, then  GET UP AND FIGHT!

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Maturity in the Christian Church
    This is about what it takes to build strong roots of faith that will not be swayed by false doctrine and false ministers; about the security and confidence that comes from KNOWING what the scriptures say about our Lord Jesus Christ and facing the truth knowing that God forgives;  about moving your church life from duty and religion to worship and fellowship with saved sinners so that you can find joy in being among them, warts and all! 
    The Gift of Growth

 

  • We are so fragile, so easily broken and hurt that it is difficult to see our value.  Let's be reminded again of why we are allowed to hurt while we are still here:    A Treasure in a Clay POT

 

  • Testing the spirits:  Are you sure that what you believe will lead you to heaven?
    His Master's Voice 

 

  

  • In light of certain human manipulations of the Word to justify church growth programs, let us be reminded that  
    Only God Can Make a Church.

 

  • Defining mercy as an individual act in response to God's mercy and not a socialist government:  On Mercy

 

  • Go Away from Me, Lord; for I am a sinful man.  Sinner, the Lord loves you and when He comes to you today, do not be afraid.

 

 

  •  A Successful Church:  A liberating message to the church builders and soul  counters in the Church of Jesus Christ.  

     

 

 

 

  • Recognition, gratefulness, and reverence in the presence of the Lord Jesus:  
    In His Presence

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • We must be constantly evaluating our practices to conform to the One True and Everlasting Gospel.  True to the Reformation 

 

 

  •   What God Requires as a citizen of Heaven and a subject of government rule.   

 

 

 

  • I am so weary of the fight in this unbelieving world.  Yet God tells us that we still have reason to rejoice, so REJOICE, O Gentiles, with God's people.

 

 

 

 

  • Not an athlete?  Not interested in competition?  We need to be if we are going to make it through to the end.  If we must train, might as well  Train for Gold

  

 

  • In this loose world, immorality and amorality are easy to come by, but 

    Purity is Here Too 

 

  • Are you saved by blood but continue to speak and live indecently?  General hostility, filthy language and sexual immorality have no place in the body of a

    A Beloved Child of God

 

 

 

 

  • A sixth sense, a gift from God to win the victory over the world:  Faith Abides 

 

 

  • It is only by God's great mercy that the sinner is not already in hell.  Do you not yet fully understand the intensity of God's fury or the greatness of his mercy?   Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God 

 

  • If any of us suffers, let it be "For Righteousness' Sake," both for those that suffer for what they have done wrong and for those that suffer for what they have done right.  For Righteousness' Sake

 

  • Though the laws of this world are restrictive, burdensome and oppressive, you can 
    LIVE FREE

 

 

  • Do you gladly accept God's good gifts while rejecting His PERFECT ONE?  FULLY SATISFIED

 

  • The Holy Spirit fills the earth and takes us back to where everything is as it should be.     Gathering Home

 

  • We are likely to be far more amazed by the answers when they finally come than we were ever confounded by the questions.     Farther Along

 

                                         

 

 

  • A story of  love that goes beyond self-preservation:  
    Love Story 

 

  • Does your church conform to tradition or do you like to do things differently?  Hold it Together

 

 

 

  • Do you love Jesus?  It's okay to take a few minutes before you admit that you might have a little Heart Trouble

 

  • Are you finding your efforts thwarted, your hopes dashed, your dreams turning to smoke?  Then stop putting your hopes in what is hopeless. 
    High Hope

 
  • Practicing careful management of God's good gifts so you do not find yourself out of a place in the middle of the desert.  
    Managing True Wealth

 

  • Yes, we should go to church, but if church is not reminding our flesh that we are sinners and telling the Good News of salvation, what is the point of going? 
    Remember What You're Here For

 

 

  • We Belong not to this world or to ourselves, but to Christ in eternity.  Let's act like it. 

 

 

  • Is saving the world beginning to seem hopeless?  Despite God's great power He does not choose to work on such a large scale.  Do it God's way and you will find  
    A World of Possibilities through Christ

 

 

 

  • As the body of Christ was wounded, so is His church, but do not confuse wounds with division:  We Are One

 

 

  • On the occasion of the decommissioning of Christ Lutheran Church in Cleveland, Ohio:  
    From Here to Eternity

 

 

 

  • What preparations are necessary WHILE WE WAIT for the return of Christ?

  

 

 

 

  • Look at the soft-skinned little Baby upon whom we've laid our sins and what those sins will do to Him; and what his broken flesh will do for us!   It Begins with This Gift

 

 

  • Is something holding you captive making you sick and disparaged?  Someone has been called to set you free by  
    The Healing Word

 

  • Every other religion requires that a person does something to earn his salvation; the Christian only believes and leaves the rest to God:  
    Is That All?

 

  • Do you have the faith and fear to wait on the Lord's power?  Have Courage 

 

 

 

 

 

  •  A little faith, some persistence, and a willingness to accept what others do not want:  
     And Hell was Powerless

 

  • There are two versions of  the Christian faith, the tidy one and the bloody one.  
      A Bloody Exchange 

 

  • "It has been a long time since the Church has publicly and unmistakably
    called people to be like Jesus."  
      Return to Jerusalem

 

 

  • And it will be said on that day: behold  This is Our God; we waited for Him that He might save us!

 

 

 

  •  Is praise of God becoming emotion-based and repetative?  Rational Praise

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • It is amazing how God has taken a single small human body, appears to make it stand alone against the Devil and the World, and tells it "DO NOT BE AFRAID." St. Michael and All The Angels

 

 

  • Every father that loves his child will correct him for the child's own good:

    Father's Discipline

 

  • Did you get yourself into a situation and believe that you have only yourself to get you out?  One Way Out
