Every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh . . . . is the spirit of the Antichrist. – 1 John 4:3 Everybody likes a good story, but many people are taking the best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code as historical fact.

[God] expected it to bring forth good grapes, but it brought forth wild grapes.  – Isaiah 5:2 Isaiah’s song picturing Israel as the Lord’s vineyard teaches us that God has a right to expect love, worship, and obedience from those He blesses.

The Son can do nothing of Himself. —John 5:19 Jesus was fully God, yet He was fully man.

Consultants who advocate […]

I have had the chance (and used it) to counter these invaders on things and it really gives you a great feeling when they have to back down.  They seem to think that we have to cower when they say we offend them.  I counter with how offensive they are to me.  Did that in TX in a Wal-Mart with […]

 “You have not returned to Me,” says the Lord.  – Amos 4:6 The Old Testament book of Amos has given us some memorable phrases: “Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?” (3:3). “Pre-pare to meet your God” (4:12). “Let justice run down like water” (5:24). But the most-repeated phrase in Amos occurs five times in chapter 4. Time after […]

All those Democrat CLOWNS that each have their own special topic they are shouting out in the hopes that topic will propel them into the Oval Office should be re-evaluating what is really going on in America and the rest of the world.  We (all humans and animals) are living in the LAST DAYS and that is of far greater […]

Ryan Duncan | Crosswalk.com Entertainment Editor H/T to Thomas One of the little foibles about growing up in the 90’s is that I got to experience a “Rapture Phase” within Church culture. Thanks to the popularity of Tim LaHaye’s and Jerry B. Jenkins’ Left Behind series, many Christians became convinced the return of Christ was imminent. I remember being told […]
