In traditional church, we have knowledge based learning. One person is the expert and the others receive knowledge from that expert. Neither need apply what has been learned because it’s head knowledge. In DMM, the discipleship making method I have been talking about, it’s a different model of doing church. Learning is Holy Spirit basedContinue reading “Holy Spirit Based Learning”

To Jab or Not to Jab
That is the question. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve gotten the COVID-19 vaccine or not, but it does matter how you responded. This vaccine is not the mark of the beast. I’m not going to pretend that I haven’t wondered about it or that I know everything about it. 16And the secondContinue reading “To Jab or Not to Jab”
The Holiday that isn’t a Holy Day
There is nothing holy about Halloween. It’s the devil’s day and bad things happen on it. The world loves Halloween, though, because their eyes are blinded. Sometimes even the church is deceived. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to testContinue reading “The Holiday that isn’t a Holy Day”
Persecution Coming to a Church Near You
As the Taliban carries out the devil’s work to destroy the church in Afghanistan, the church in America is safe in their beds. “It’ll not come here,” is the thought that goes through many minds. It’s coming. There will be a time soon when the church in the USA will go underground by necessity. HomeContinue reading “Persecution Coming to a Church Near You”
Universalism
Universalism believes that the path that God is broad. Universalists believe that all religions lead to God. Jesus said the path to God was narrow and few find it. According to Titus 1:9, a Bible teacher’s job is to rebuke unsound doctrine. “He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that heContinue reading “Universalism”
In Times of Trouble
Psalm 57 is of great comfort and worthy of memorization. Here are verses one and two: 1Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed. 2I cry out to God Most High, to GodContinue reading “In Times of Trouble”
Empty Prayer Closets
My prayer closet should be the most used room in the apartment/house. The kitchen and the bathroom get a lot of use, why not the prayer closet? We’ve all been guilty at one time or another of saying “I’ll pray for you,” and then not do it. I know I have. I repented and continueContinue reading “Empty Prayer Closets”
Church Membership Does Not Equal Kingdom of God Membership
There are over 51 million Roman Catholics in the United States. Well I’m sure there are people in the Roman Catholic Church who are destined for heaven, but the vast majority of Roman Catholics are idolaters. Here’s why: Veneration of saints and angels. Veneration of the clergy. Veneration of statues. Use of talismans. Lighting ofContinue reading “Church Membership Does Not Equal Kingdom of God Membership”
Listen. Obey. Repeat.
Following Jesus can be summed up in those three words: listening for His voice, obeying His voice, and repeating. Religious activities can busy somebody so much that they don’t have time to listen to the voice of God. Hear this, my friends: if you use religious activities as an excuse to disobey God, do youContinue reading “Listen. Obey. Repeat.”
Split Spiritual Personality
Sometimes I am David and sometimes I’m Saul. The two handled things really differently because they had two different relationships with God. Sometimes I’m in the valley of Elah dismayed and terrified like in 1 Samuel 17. In verse 11. “On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed andContinue reading “Split Spiritual Personality”
