Death of An Infant in Oaxaca, Mexico
Where divergent religious customs merge…Daniel Perez Gonzalez was a beautiful baby. His parents Flor and Jorge thought so; my wife Arlene and I agreed. Few are able to share our certainty, though, because we were among the very few to see him alive.Read more…The Salvation of the Catholics
Members of the Roman Catholic Church do not know the truth about Christ's way of saving man from the day of God's wrath. They thought that by merely calling the name of Christ and do the things they thought are good will lead them to salvation. They are taught by the Catholic Authorities that through their so-called Holy Mass, souls from purgatory will be sent to heaven.Read more…Mixture
I had been wrestling a long time with a concept I had come to think of as “mixture.” For instance, listening to Christian music, then listening to certain kinds of secular music, or watching clean movies, then watching not-so-clean movies, i.e.Read more…How To Please God
There are "many infallible proofs" that the Bible is the Word of God, God's written revelation to mankind. One of these proofs is the element of prophecy.Only God knows what shall be, and His prophetic clock has always been right on time.Read more…The Confession of Sins - Is 1 John 1:9 a Part of God's Will for the Present Dispensation of Grace?
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).Guilt is a killer. A killer of our joy, our peace, our enjoyment of intimacy with God.Read more…Confession of Sins - Part 3
Guilt is a killer, a killer of our joy, our peace, and our enjoyment of intimacy with God. If Satan can use guilt (which our Lord has already taken away) to use as a wedge to separate us from God, his strategy to take us as a captive in the battle is secure. It makes no difference to him that the guilt, separation, and captivity are imagined and not real.Read more…Our Spiritual Authority
Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.The subject of authority can sometimes be confusing, so let’s start by defining it. Strong’s Concordance says; privilege, delegated influence: W.Read more…Born Again and Heaven and Hell
If you're not born again before you die, you'll spend eternity in hell.Who hasn't heard that "sermon" or something like it before? That one statement contains four religious lies and proves such a preacher apparently doesn't know God, Jesus Christ or the Bible well enough to know differently!Read more…Nostradennis - Prophecy Comes Alive in Our Time
These recently discovered prophecies of the 14th Century monk and mystic, Nostradennis of Greenville, are here presented for the first time. They were found in a mayonnaise jar on a shelf in the men's room of an old monastery. Their uncanny references to present day circumstances are just short of astrounding.Read more…Why Does God Need a Gender?
Why does God need a gender? Can’t we, as creative beings come up with something more majestic than biological anatomy? Doesn’t the Holy Spirit transcend flesh?Read more…How to Feel Safety Not Terror
At the present time our nation continues in the war on terror. We recognize, of course, that both 'war' and 'peace' during a time when the world largely rejects the Son of God can be but relative terms. There was much real enmity during the days of so-called 'peace', and, conversely, there may be enjoyed, in the middle of this war, a peace which the world can neither give nor take away.Read more…Bible Times Children And We'll Keep the Flames of Molech on for Ya!
One thing is for sure...the Bible is not child friendly. Actually, if you really know the book, Old and New, you will have to admit that small children must not have been much a part of the culture.Read more…Till The Son of Man Comes
Keeping The Mission in Context“When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”The mission of the twelve disciples would take them through cities in the land of Israel.Read more…A Romp Through The Garden Of Eden: And Other Religious Misconceptions
People are so na?ve. Who in their right mind can possibly believe that the earth began with two Hebrew speaking adults and a talking snake?Read more…How To Choose The Right Bible
Given that the bible used by most protestant denominations contain the same books, you would think your choices would come down to what kind of cover. Unfortunately choosing the right bible for your needs is a bit more complicated than that. First you much consider the issue of translation.Read more…Can An Atheist Believe In God?
What makes an atheist? Is he or she one who says "God absolutely does not exist"? Certainly most atheists I know wouldn't say that.Read more…Do Business Till My Return
According to at least one of the parables of the Lord Jesus Christ, God, the Father apparently functions as a stern master who expects a generous return on His investments. In the Gospel recorded by the physician Luke - the traveling companion and biographer of the Apostle Paul - chapter nineteen records a parable known to theologians by various titles: "The Parable of the Talents," "The Unwise Servant," "The Unprofitable Servant," "The Hidden Talent," among others. Verse thirteen ends with a direct command issued by a nobleman to his servants.Read more…Litha - Celebration of the Summer Solstice
The summer solstice has long been a time of celebration and festivity for cultures dating back to ancient times and stretching through the present day. For those of us on the Northern Hemisphere, this day falls approximately on June 21st. During this time the Earth is tilted closest to the Sun giving us greater exposure to the Sun’s light and, subsequently, the longest day of the year.Read more…Blindness In Part Has Happened To "Christians"
For those who know the scriptures, the above title is a spin of a text in Romans 11:25, which reads, “Blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. First century Israel, who knew not the time of her visitation, (Luke 19:41-44), rejected their Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, desired a robber, Barabbas in his place, and pledged their allegiance to the Gentile king, Caesar.The LA Times reported today that “mega-church pastors recently met in Inglewood, California, to buff their strategies for using global communications and aircraft to transport missionaries throughout the world to fulfill the Great Commission.Read more…Masonic Lodge Tradition Failing
Masonic lodge tradition is failing in the United States and part of this is because the buildings are in a state of disrepair and many of the older gentleman who are running these groups are at the point where they will be dying soon and they do not have enough new blood in the group to carry them forward.As much as they have considered the passing of the torch from the good old boy networks in many of the thousands of cities and towns in our nation it is obvious that the Masonic lodges are indeed in decay and disrepair. But why is this happening?Read more…

In the seventeenth chapter of Matthew the Apostles Peter, James and John were with Christ when he suddenly was transfigured (glowing or glorified) and was seen talking with Moses and Elijah. Instead of trying to hear what was being said between Jesus, Moses and Elijah, Peter decided that building a shrine to commemorate the event would be a better idea. A voice came from above that changed Peters mind and is still changing minds to this day. - What is Peace - By: Syed Masrur

Sorry to bring Amway into it. May make a few of you laugh though. - Ted Haggard and How Evangelical Politics Helped End His Preaching Career - By: Les Herron
When the reports of Pastor Ted Haggard's potential sexual downfall were first shouted from the rooftops of the mainstream media his religious friends (and others) pointed fingers at what was certainly political motivation.And politics were certainly a part of the why's and how's of Haggard's downfall but probably not in the way we first thought.To be evangelical and/or charismatic we must be aligned with a specific political party and vote a certain way on each 'important' issue', with importance being defined by someone in a ministry typically located outside of a local church ministry (para-church ministry). - Does the Qu'ran Command Endless War - By: Ray McIntyre
After the tragedies of the 11th of September 2001 and the invasion of Iraq many people are arguing that the Qu'ran and Islam itself teaches that a state of endless war exists between Muslims and 'Infidels' (who are usually defined by these folk as being Christians and Jews.)In support of their arguments they pull quotes from the Qu'ran which seem to support their position, but do they really?In this article I want to show the deceitful way in which these folk argue, either out of ignorace on their part or from a desire to stir up hatred against folk. - Sin is Serious! - By: Rebecca Livermore
I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner – not even to eat with such a person.
