Alternate Morality

Everyone has morals. The problem is not everyone has good ones. One could argue Hitler had morals, but few would call his actions good by any stretch of the imagination. God has told His people what is good, and Jesus said if we love Him we will obey his commandments. The world has fallen further […]

The Strange Children Grew Up

David begins this Psalm in verse one by praising our Lord who preserves and prospers his people: “Blessed be the LORD my strength, Which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight”. We are in a frenzied spiritual war against the strangest of children, but we can find comfort and assurance in the fact God has already won

You Got the Power

We’re definitely not Jesus, with His power over the earth and elements, but we are indeed made in His image and wield His power and authority given to us. While the wind may not calm at our rebuke, demons and unclean spirits faint when we speak the authority of Christ within us. If we are

No Mixing Required

There’s a window and bumper sticker you’ve likely seen that reads, “NOTW: Not Of This World.” That’s how we Christians must view ourselves according to the words in red recorded in John 17:14, “I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I

Disinformation, Datinformation

We live in an age when people know so much, yet comprehend so little. They can Google anything but are easily swayed by culture and leaders to follow the fallacies of the world rather than the truth of our Lord. The apostle Paul warns us in the last days, “there will come times of difficulty. For

March to Victory

March is more than a month. It’s a verb. A call to action. A military command. A mission given to His church by the supreme commander of the armies of heaven. Christian soldier, you are compelled to follow this order unless you’re a deserter. And I know you’re not… I had previously thought we were

Love’s Not Just For You

God richly blesses us in many ways: providence, giftings, anointings, healings, prosperity. But the reason for those blessings is not just for us personally. February is the month we celebrate love, and our Lord exemplifies love in a way far beyond anything we can completely reproduce. Yet we are made in His image, and we

Straining Ahead

As the calendar flips the page into a new year, I’m reminded Paul gave us his example in Philippians 3:13-14 that we should forget the past and strain forward to the future, reaching for the prize of the call of God in Jesus Christ. It’s been a challenging two years. This has been our generation’s

Wonderful Christmas Light

Scripture informs the observant that Jesus was certainly not born on Christmas Day, and there is no mention of Yuletide celebration, decorations, gift-giving, and twinkling lights. But, as Christians, it is so very appropriate we participate in these. It matters far less when Jesus was born and far more that he was born. Jesus descended

Every Day is Thanksgiving Day

Scripture instructs in Psalm 100, a sacred hymn only five verses long, that we are to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. We are to give thanks to Him and bless His holy name! We conform to this framework not only in worship service, but this structure must be implanted into
