A word on the same sex debate and the church

 

The following is an argument about the state not having any authority over a ceremony and term belonging to that of God.

Marriage, what is your definition of the word? To most, it is the union between two people. It is two people, making a conscious choice to live out their lives together. To promise to stand with each other, to love each other and to support…

Is Their Marriage Acceptable In God's Eyes ?



Let’s talk today about forgiveness for a moment. In 2 Cor. 5:17 (NIV) we read -“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” -how many of us Christians truly understand the meaning of this scripture, and believe it? Does it mean exactly what it says? Could in fact this scripture be telling us that no matter what we did… Continue

The Foundation of America is Shifting !



The foundation, on which anything stands upon, is the key to its stability. In the United States of America we chose as a nation to be called “one nation, under God”. This statement of our intent shows the character of the individuals that fought and died for the cause of freedom. The foundation that was laid was a foundation of faith, and a trust in a God that declared… Continue

Why are you a Christian ?



If I were to ask you why you go to Church and why you are a Christian, could you answer me within a few seconds? What is it that leads you and inspires you, and pursues you to grow in Christianity? Is there a hunger that burns within you? Do you find peace and fulfillment within the church? Can you give an answer… Continue

The Righteous Integrity Of A Christian



Righteous integrity could be defined as the uncompromising, firm belief in holy things and the unwavering dedication to the desires of our God of creation. We should be like the mighty oak tree that is upright and strong, not carelessly blowing with the wind. As we look into the life of Jesus Christ we will see one thing above all others. We will see this righteous…

In God's name ... They Claim ?



The term religion has had probably the largest effect on societies known to man. With our massive compilation of faiths and doctrines more deaths and destruction have come in what many have claimed ” In the name of God”. I reject many of these claims and though yes it is documented in the word, that God did in fact send his people into war at times, and did order what… Continue

" The Truth Is Out There "



The truth is out there” – We all have heard that phrase before, have we not? But how many of us in society really believe that there is only one truth? Would you say that you believe there is only one, real and tangible solid truth behind all things, or are you like many and state the claim that truth is only… Continue

Is The Prophet true Or False ?



Have you studied the lives and words of the many prophets in the Holy Bible? According to Wikipedia, a prophet is an individual who is claimed to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine and serves as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this newfound knowledge from the supernatural entity to other people. But in the USA alone we have what seems to be an… Continue

What happened In The days Of Noah ?



How much do you know of the Holy Bible? The Christian faith started upon the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, before such date, the title of Christian was not in existence yet. Thousands of years had passed before the birth of our savior Jesus Christ: the question is; have you ever studied them? I was asked the other day to quote” teach me something I don’t… Continue

The answer to finding God ?



The other morning I was Pondering about a statement I had heard not to long ago. It came from a gentleman that has been in the Christian faith for well over twenty years. His words stunned me because of his lack of understanding of what it was, that I had really found, or should I more correctly say – had found me. The statement was – “so, when did you find religion? “.… Continue

It Is Time To Show That Our God Is Real !

Do you believe in the power of God? Do you believe in the power held by those in

authority positions within the body of Christ? How about the power even found in

a newly reborn Christian? Spiritual power and the ability to move mountains are

promised to all that serve Jesus and believe. But how many of our spiritual

leaders are either afraid or simply unaware of this promised power? For

what-ever reason we hear many vain…

Rise Of The Christian Warrior !

Have you ever felt led to do something that others thought was just crazy? Have you ever heard the well used phrase “That’s a good idea, but it will never happen? Or “we have tried that before, and it didn’t work” How many times have great ideas come up, just to be shot down by fear, or lack of faith? Past actions or lack of actions seemly stopped God’s will before being implemented. Have you ever noticed that often evil works likes this. All evil has to do is get the fight out of you. It uses… Continue

What Does It Mean To Be A Christian ?

You probably have heard or even seen it here before, regarding the question of “what is the definition of a Christian “? But I believe it is not only the most important question to know, but it is also the most distorted and opinionated of all questions related to the Christian faith. Modern churches are popping up everywhere with their own theories of what they hold as Christ’s truth, but sadly it is anything but truth. As Christians we are followers of Jesus Christ, so it is imperative that… Continue

Working On Our Ministry Of Kindness

Kindness, a word we are taught from childhood and an attribute that shines the love of Christ. As Christians, kindness is of upmost importance due to the fact that it is a fruit of the spirit. It is an expression of caring that goes beyond words. Just as a simple smile can change a person’s day, an act of real kindness can change a person’s life. An act of kindness, helped put each of us where we are today in our lives. It was that someone who gave us that one chance, or believed in us for even… Continue

Two problems In The Church Today

If you could point to the two number one problems in the church body, what would they be? In talking with over 75 organizations and ministries in the last year (with membership roles exceeding 250,000 members) we have concluded that these two subjects are that at the heart of the problem. These issues are tolerance and acceptability. Tolerance is accepting the things that are not…
