Is the Church submerging?

The Bible warns us about a great delusion that will take place prior to the second coming of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself wants to warn us so that we will be prepared, and said that many of us will fall away.  Is that delusion already underway in our Body of Christ today? We’ve talked about [...]

Whom Will You Choose to Follow?

Today we introduced you briefly to a pastor by the name of Steven Furtick.  He is the rising star of the Emergent Church Movement, seemingly replacing Rob Bell as the darling of the movement.  He is bold, brash and becoming controversial for what he teaches and how he teaches it.

Fat, Apathetic Christianity?

Apathetic Christianity is a real disease infecting the Body of Christ.  And it is infecting us in several ways. First, our Christian faith has become something that is incomplete these days.  We come to accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord and think the race is complete.  But becoming a Christian is not the end [...]

Resolve To Know God in 2012

I saw a study that projects nearly 100 million Americans would make 2012 New Year’s resolutions and that by the end of January, nearly 90% would walk away from that resolution.  So how are you doing and just what was your resolution this year?  I might suggest that if your primary resolution was anything short [...]

The Lines Are Being Drawn

2011 has indeed been an interesting year to be a Christian.  From the controversial teachings of Rob Bell, to the so called “Arab Spring”, to the ill-advised predictions of Harold Camping, it has been a fascinating year.  And through it all, I believe God is continuing to implement the separation of His sheep from the [...]

The Titanic–Patch the Hole or Abandon Ship?

Romans Chapter One says it all in the circumstances the world finds itself in these latter days.  The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.  For although they knew God, they neither glorified God nor gave him thanks.  They [...]

Jezebel in The Church

There is a great seduction going on—one that is very dangerous and we need to wake up to it quickly.  The Church in America seems to be under the spell of a modern day Jezebel.  She is seducing us into a false sense of what it means to be a Christian. She is whispering in [...]

Fighting For Our Youth In the Midst of Crisis

Our youth are in a world of hurt.  At a time when they should be excited about their future and laying a solid foundation for it, many look at all that is happening in the world and feel they face a future of bleak uncertainty.  Recent studies show almost 70% of current College graduates are [...]
