Commentary


Forgive That One? You're Joking!
Have you ever been angry at someone that you had a hard time being able to forgive? Or perhaps there is someone that you still have not yet been able to forgive for something? Well, Part of knowing God and having Jesus as lord of your life means following His lead in the way that we treat others, and this especially includes the idea of forgiveness.

Who Is This Guy?

My Testimony, Who am I and why do I preach this Gospel?

Humble Pie
Humility is probably one of the most misunderstood and misused words and concepts in the Bible. To be humble does not mean self degradation, speaking of yourself like you were some kind of worm not worthy of being stepped on.

Choose Your Destination: Cool and Comfy or Hot and Humid.
'Lord, I know I'm unworthy, but . . . ' How many prayers have you heard or said that included those words or words to that effect? The idea is that we are supposed to be humble before God and remember that we are 'just an old sinner saved by grace.' Well, if you are saved by grace, then you are NOT an old sinner! You are an EX-sinner!

Who's yer daddy?
Contrary to popular belief, we are NOT all God's children! Being a child of God is a choice, NOT an automatic fact or accident of our existence. We must act on the right that we have been given to choose to become a child of God.

The Highest Gift
The greatest gift of all

STOP being AFRAID of God!
'Fear Not' -God

Why snakes don't have legs.
Whats this whole sin thing all about anyway?

What part of 'Thou shalt not' don't you understand?
When God says not to do something, He has good reason.

The Mind of Christ:

Renovation Time
Simply put, we can, and in fact should BE a "know it all"! How do we accomplish this feat of transformation? By ourselves and our own efforts, we cannot, but we can with God's help. And He has given us nothing less than His own Spirit to help us.

Have you LOST your MIND?
A popular preacher once said that in order to become a Christian, you have to lose your mind, and while you don't have to lose it in the sense of going insane, you do have to change it.

The Authority of The Believer:

The Power in a Name.
Who said you could do that?

God isn't GOING to heal anybody!
He already did! Why you DON'T have to live with sickness and disease.

Praise? What's that?

Growing up Spiritually

Growing Up Spirtually, The Beginning
The attitude in the body of Christ today is that we are to get people saved as fast as possible. While this is a great thing, what do we do next?

There Is A New Creature In Town
It was a glorious and wonderful day when you walked forward to proclaim that you, too, are a believer in the Lord Jesus. Perhaps you did not feel any different that day but later you noticed that there were some things that you no longer wanted to do, have or see. New desires began to well up inside you, things you never would have thought to do a few weeks before. One day, it suddenly occurred to you that the Lord was changing things about you. What happened?

It's All About Love
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. From that moment until this, He has poured out His love for you in each thing He does. Before time began, He knew you and planned for you.

Back To The Basics
Remember the basics!

Traditions! Traditions!
Are you sure about that?

You Must Pay The Price
All through your life you pay a price for things. Much of the time you don't even notice. You just do it. Why is that?

Feed My Children
If you are a parent, the last thing on earth that you want is for your child to go hungry. You do everything it takes to make sure that the children have something to eat, even if you are not able to eat something yourself.

But Dad, It's Just Out Of Focus!
All you have to do is twist this little knob.

Stoke the Fire!
When the embers are getting cold.

"Wanderer, Come Home", He said.
All of my life, even as a child, there was something that told me I did not belong. There was something missing. It was an ever present thing in my existence. It was as if I was an alien, walking a path not meant for me.

The Long Road Home
Where am I going and how do I get there?
