For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20) One of the most abused Scriptures, out of many, is Matthew 18:20. This verse is used so often as a verse that proves that the Holy Spirit is present “when two or three are... Continue Reading →

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. - Proverbs 18:13 I have always been a proponent of apologetics - the defense of the faith. It is, after all, an important issue. Knowing your Christian worldview, and the difference between Biblical Christianity, and other “isms” which run... Continue Reading →
Faith-FULL!
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:1-2) One of the most important things for anyone that ministers, no matter their role, is that they be faithful. As... Continue Reading →
Marriage: On the Rock, or On the Rocks?
Marriage between men and women (there is no other way) is an institution which has for it's establishment God, Himself. He created Eve as a helpmeet for Adam, so that he would not be alone. And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an... Continue Reading →
Writer’s Block
I think it would be hard to believe that someone who holds before him "the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8)," that have been revealed, would have a tough time thinking of something to write. Yet, it does happen on occasion. And, it's not a bad thing, at all! I encourage young preachers not to... Continue Reading →
The Amazing Body
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made... Continue Reading →
Ye Have the Poor With You Always
And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. - Mark 14:6-7 KJV One of the biggest trends happening in the church is... Continue Reading →
People Are People
One of the realities that is often so hard for people to fathom is that each and every person in the world is, in fact, an individual. Individual habits, individual appearances, individual diets, even individual preferences of clothing and automobiles. There are no two people alike - even identical twins! There is no single cure-all... Continue Reading →
LOVE AND DOCTRINE
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not... Continue Reading →
A Stroke of Grace
Thursday, March 17, 2022 became a day of drastic change for me. I had a stroke in the lower cerebrum of my brain. I was sitting down, having my morning cup o' joe when it hit! A headache, with waves of sweat, which sent me back to bed. I figured, a little bit of rest,... Continue Reading →
Who Are You?
“Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?” {1 Corinthians 3:5} The Corinthian divisions were from the strife and envying going on among them, that were rooted and embedded in the fleshly wisdom of the world. By nature, each man seeks... Continue Reading →
New Creature
If you believe in the Cross of Christ, now what? 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed...

Doing Church
WHAT ARE WE TO DO IN THE CHURCH? Unfortunately, all too often, Christians miss the boat when it comes to what they ought to be doing in the local assembly. There are numerous and various reasons for this. In fact, even the most faithful Christian can misstep in their walk unto God. God, in His... Continue Reading →
