Why anything God causes or allows to happen to our temporal reality is not wrong or evil but rather part of His master plan to make His people holy. There is nothing in this life (with the exception of our souls) that will live eternally Any suffering that comes to our bodies will come toContinue reading “God does no wrong by causing or allowing things to happen to our temporal bodies and realities”

Shepherds after God’s heart
Jesus said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?”… And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep. John 21:17 Dear Pastor, I know you and I are shepherds. We take care ofContinue reading “Shepherds after God’s heart”
The reality regarding revival and the salvation of the lost
We do not intend for the church to be revived and the lost saved. If we did, we would make a plan to work toward that end (at all costs) and would work the plan. We would not give up or give in. We would persevere until we saw the revival come and the lostContinue reading “The reality regarding revival and the salvation of the lost”
The kingdom of heaven on earth
Dear Pastor/Christian What does it mean to pray for and see the kingdom of God come to earth as it is in heaven? If Jesus instructed us to pray this, we ought to be praying and diligently working to see this come to pass. God must have fully intended to have His kingdom established onContinue reading “The kingdom of heaven on earth”
You are a threat to the enemy
Dear Pastor, I want to remind you that you are a real threat to the enemy. The devil truly hates you and want to destroy you. First, because you are a child of the King and are following and serving the one true God with your whole heart. The second reason that the devil hatesContinue reading “You are a threat to the enemy”
Another Monday
Another Monday Now what? Spring break has come and gone. The adventures were had, the experiences enjoyed and the memories formed. Now back to life. Back to the to-do list, back to the expectations, hopes, dreams, and fears. We put life “on hold” for a week, but it still waited for us to return. WillContinue reading “Another Monday”
How God entirely sanctifies His children
How God entirely sanctifies His children Many people object to the word “entire” in the doctrine of entire sanctification. Others work diligently to convince people of the process of sanctification or the personal efforts/accomplishments of the individual necessary for sanctification. I want to examine that sanctification is entire, instantaneous and by grace through faith alone.
Teaching and preaching with authority
Dear Pastor, What good is it for us to preach and teach the people of God if we do it with nothing more than human words, opinions, and stories? The Bible says that Jesus taught as one with authority. The people woke up and took notice that something was different about Jesus’ teaching. I onceContinue reading “Teaching and preaching with authority”
The devastation of distraction
Distracted driving results these days in thousands of fatalities per year. Distracted parenting results in exasperated children who feel unloved, unimportant and unwanted. Distracted living is a strategic trap the devil is using to destroy families, churches, and faith.
The Power of the Creator, The Authority of the King
Dear Pastor, Today and this week you and I get the privilege of going about our Father’s work! We are invited to participate in kingdom living and kingdom serving. What we are doing is so much more than leading meetings, organizing events or planning ministries. We are operating as agents of the Lord’s grace andContinue reading “The Power of the Creator, The Authority of the King”
