Evil has a face–a human face. Evil has arms and legs, but above all, a cunning mind and a devious heart.
Some faces of evil are obvious. Those of Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein and other tyrannical butchers come to mind. But it’s the faces of evil that you pass on the street or see in restaurant or [...]
Christ gave us this command: “Be perfect.” And, of course, the kneejerk response comes, “Wait a minute. With all due respect, that’s not right. Nobody’s perfect. Why would He give us a command that’s impossible to keep?”
This is where some will toss Christianity into the trashcan, never realizing that ”Be perfect” is a paradox, ” a statement [...]
We have become the princes and princesses of God the King by our new spiritual birth. We are in training to assume royal duties with Him upon His return to earth.
What should we be doing to get ready for this great responsibility? We are admonished to “purge out the old leaven that the lump [...]
“Why were you baptized?” a survey taker asks, cornering us with his microphone and camera. Most of us would have to say, “Because they told me I should do it.”
Question 2: “What does baptism mean exactly?” Here most of us would scratch our heads and say, “Well, I’m not sure. The minister and congregation were very supportive, and [...]

Denominations have come up with a lot of hocus-pocus, mumbo jumbo, and smoke and mirrors in trying to “do the right thing” when it comes to the Lord’s Supper and Holy Communion. The bread and wine/grape juice are consumed by church goers who cannot comprehend what is really going on in the ritual. I [...]
God’s will, desire, plan, and purpose from eternity is to reproduce Himself in a group of sons and daughters here on earth. This is the great mystery that has been hidden for ages, but now is being revealed. We can look around at His creation and perceive just what He is doing (Romans 1:20).

There’s something like 2600 flavors of Christendom at last count. This fact points us to a biblical question: “Is Christ divided?” I heard last week, “Well, the black church says things on Sunday from the pulpit that the white church don’t say.”
Is this what we’ve come to–an “us” and “them” mentality? (Just insert your [...]
What determines me having a good day or a bad day? What controls my actions and feelings on any given day? It’s the thoughts of my mind.
We are “led by our thoughts.” We’ve heard that all our lives, yet thoughts pour through our minds like a creek out of its banks. But what kind of water [...]
