Farewell The Appointment That You Don't Want To Keep…That You Don’t Have To Keep ...no matter what you have been told... The Bible clearly indicates that not all people will die a physical death (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:17), yet it also says is appointed for everyone to die once (Hebrews 9:27). This may be deemed as a contradiction to some. I would speculate that there are even some who at least call themselves Christians that would deny the biblical truth

Ausable River in the Fall Just Take Him at His Word The requirement for a person to receive the irrevocable gift of everlasting life is simple. Those of you who are at least somewhat familiar with my writings are quite aware that I boldly and consistently assert this. I do so because the Bible does so. Hard work was indeed necessary to have met God’s standard of perfection in order for us to come into His eternal presence, however that hard work was accomplished, and only c

If the Rapture were tomorrow. What if the Rapture were to happen tomorrow? What if we knew it and were sure of it? I think many of us are somewhat calloused by the false alarms the we have had in that past decade or so. Many of us were looking up, so to speak back in 2015 and 16 with the 4 blood moons. Many of us got pretty excited about September 23 of 2017 with what was referred to by many as the "Revelation 12 sign." Many of us get pretty excited every year at the Feast of

Perspective on Eternity and Infinity. Isa 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Pro 3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Cosmology is a fascinating field. By no

Have I committed the unforgivable sin?! If you have any concern about this at all, I would say no.

I must confess; I hope not!

Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:18

Something everyone has the eternal need of knowing.

He knew that He would indeed pay that cost on our behalf, even before time began. He created us anyway.

It is such a comfort to know that I never have to stop praying.

“Faith without works is dead.” This may be one of the most, if not the most, perplexing phrases in the 66 books of the Bible to many folks.

He [the Holy Spirit] most certainly does not need any “help” from men on making “improvements” on His Gospel

It is said that in order for a person to be saved that they must believe, trust, and love Jesus. I would agree. However, not in the sense th

I thought that he understood the Gospel. He had indeed heard it presented many times and alluded that he understood it; I was dead wrong.

Recently I overhead someone saying something to the effect of “this is a church, not a courtroom.” I don’t remember exactly what the context of the statement was, but it got me thinking a bit about the comparison and contrast of the 2 of them. For myriad reasons, courtrooms can be very intimidating, uninviting, unnerving, and flat out frightening. This is of course not how the local church should be. There are similarities between the 2, both in how each operates correctly, a

Are We Losing Our Youth? Did We Ever Have Them? In recent years I have often heard it said in churches and from other organizations that would be considered to be Christian based, that “we are losing our kids” to the world, or to the liberal left, when they go off to college and other such endeavors. What they are usually inferring is that young adults are somehow losing their Christianity, or are “leaving the faith.” I do agree that many of the ideals, world view concepts, a
