Christian – Following Jesus

Number Ones

Ever buy a record album where it’s all the artist’s number one hits? It’s a win for the buyer because every song was a chart topper making it to the number one slot in a particular week. It’s better than buying an album with 2 great songs and 9 songs that you really prefer toContinue reading “Number Ones”

1977- California here we come!

Some of you reading this post probably weren’t around in 1977. I was it was a great year for me. 1977 had cool cars and cool music. The clothes and jewelry from that time period are memorable. So was that trip! My mama got this idea to drive from our home in New York toContinue reading “1977- California here we come!”

Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?

I heard Sandy Adams, pastor Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain, use this illustration: a thermometer varies with the temperature around it; it reads the temperature while a thermostat sets the temperature and stays constant. Are you a thermometer or a thermostat? I made a profession of faith years ago and was baptized. I read the Bible,Continue reading “Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?”

Idols, Icons and Religious Decorations

Yeah, they’re all idols. The definition for icon and idol is the exact same thing according to dictionary.com. Your religious decorations like Buddhas, dream catchers, temples, saints, Mary are disturbing distractions. None of this is good for you spiritually. Most of these have spirits attached to them and not the good ones. People think thatContinue reading “Idols, Icons and Religious Decorations”

Disciple making movement

I just finished reading From Megachurch to Multiplication by Chris Galanos last week. It’s quite an eye-opener. I hope that you can pick up a copy. Some of the things that the author talks about in this book run counter to what the American church does and it explains why the American church is failing.Continue reading “Disciple making movement”

Sounds like today

But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form ofContinue reading “Sounds like today”

Hearing from God

Back in the Old Testament days, God’s people heard from him through Moses. Moses heard the voice of God through various ways; we all know about the burning bush. When they left Mount Sinai he heard it a different way. When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting to speak with the LORD, he heard theContinue reading “Hearing from God”

Where is ET?

So where is ET? Is he going to phone home? Does he even exist? Physicist Enrico Fermi explains it with the Rare Earth Theory. If there is a planet that could support intelligent beings, it would have to be in the habitable zone from its sun. If it’s too close they (all the ETs) wouldContinue reading “Where is ET?”

Trinity – We are left with Holy Spirit power

This word – trinity – it is the foundation for Christianity. The word isn’t found in the Bible, but the Bible clearly mentions this doctrine. There is only one God, but he demonstrates Himself to the world as three persons because we don’t have infinite minds. If He were to give us a real demonstrationContinue reading “Trinity – We are left with Holy Spirit power”

Revival Begins in the Mirror

One person can change the world around him! Look in even American newspapers and you will find reports from the Welsh revival. Student Evan Roberts started the 1904-1905 Welsh Revival in his first year of college and it caused such a stir that bars and gambling houses had to close. Prostitution ceased. Even the courtsContinue reading “Revival Begins in the Mirror”
