The prosperity gospel has a strong grip on the church. An overabundance of prosperity gospel preachers contribute to it, along with people’s desire to be in a better situation financially. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.” JesusContinue reading “Problem With the Prosperity Gospel”

The Love Chapter
First Corinthians 13 is known as the love chapter. You often hear it read during weddings. If you do a superficial read of the chapter, you can apply it to weddings, but this chapter is much deeper than that. In first John 4 verse 16 we read that God is love. Since God is love,Continue reading “The Love Chapter”
My Review of My Visit to Ark Encounter
The Ark Encounter in Williamstown Kentucky is worth going out of your way for. It’s an all day affair to go to the ark and you can even spend multiple days there. My friends and I spent a whole day there and we did not see it all. There are so many activities. I’ll shareContinue reading “My Review of My Visit to Ark Encounter”
Transubstantiation is Hogwash
Roman Catholics say that the bread and the wine become the literal body and blood of Christ. This is called transubstantiation and it is hogwash. There’s no magic that happens when the wafer is blessed by a priest. If there were, magic is not of God, so there’s a problem. Then Jesus said to them,Continue reading “Transubstantiation is Hogwash”
One Race, One Blood
I recently visited the Creation Museum in Kentucky and it had an interesting display about race. The museum founder, Ken Ham, says that we are all one race and of one blood genetically. Some people have more pigment in their skin, causing them to look darker, but we are all related. I’ve been to AfricaContinue reading “One Race, One Blood”
Losing a Taste for Sin
I recently bought a veggie wrap and a bag of Lays potato chips. I always liked Lays potato chips when choosing a late night snack. I’ve been trying to be healthier, though, and hadn’t purchased these for quite some time. I didn’t enjoy them this time. I found that all I could taste was saltContinue reading “Losing a Taste for Sin”
Fishers of men
When I was a little girl, I used to go fishing on the Erie Canal. Times were simple. I had a bamboo pole, a red and white plastic bobber, and a homemade metal sinker. We would get up to arrive in the early morning feeding time. Usually the metal bucket was half full when IContinue reading “Fishers of men”
Circumcise Your Heart
In Joshua chapter 5, the Israelites had already crossed over the River Jordan on dry ground. Next, they were going to celebrate the Passover but in order to do so they had to be circumcised. Circumcision showed that Jews were set apart from others; they were servants of God. Now a true believer is oneContinue reading “Circumcise Your Heart”
If This Were Your Last Month
If this were the last month of your life, what would your worship and giving be like? I recently re-watched an old video of soldiers in Iraq worshiping God with such passion. Every time I see that video, I think I need that. The soldiers in the video knew that it might be their lastContinue reading “If This Were Your Last Month”
Dead!
I’m reading through the book of Romans, which is probably the most popular book used when evangelizing lost people. You know that cute little book, the Four Spiritual Laws, based on Romans? It needs to go out of print. Stop using it! What God wants is for us to die to self. He wants usContinue reading “Dead!”
