America Needs God
In Psalm 33:12, the Bible says; “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” In the 60s and 70s, 96% of Americans believed in God. Today, that number is much smaller. We have seen mass destruction of property, mass theft and mass assaults on innocent people. We have seen the killings and shootings of police officers, as we have recently seen in Las Vegas and Santa Cruz, California. The Santa Cruz County sheriff’s deputy, Sergeant Damon Gutzwiller, had a small child at home and his wife is pregnant with a second child. Both children are now without a father. Please pray for his wife and family. An environment of anti-police hatred took his life. This atmosphere of hatred …
Easter; Remember the Reason
Jesus died on the Cross, was buried and rose on the third day. If there was any doubt that he was who he said, then that doubt was removed as so many saw him hang on the cross, his body laid in the tomb, and then 500 saw him after he rose again. He is Risen. For those who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, their sin was been wiped clean and they can live with Jesus in Heaven for eternity. It is the greatest gift we can receive and Easter celebrates that fact. Remember the reason for this holiday. It’s not about bunnies and eggs.
Pray for God’s Protection
During 9/11, many people who were not otherwise very spiritual people cried out to God. They knew that His power and grace and supernatural abilities was the only thing that could save them. Many, who prayed, were saved. Many people in other critical and life-threatening situations turn to God and pray and are saved from harm. Today, the world is in this position. The Coronavirus (COVID 19) is a threat to all humans. It has sickened and killed people in nearly every age group. It has killed Millennials right along with seniors. It has left many who have survived with lung damage. There is no treatment and there is no vaccine presently. Unlike the seasonal flu, that makes us defenseless against it, except for self-isolation and other measures. There is …
The Importance of Knowing Jesus
There is a Christian meme which states that “The only thing that is really important is that your name is in the Lamb’s Book of Life.” I was reminded of this yesterday when my Dad passed away. When I was growing up, he was one of those people who attended church twice a year; Easter and Christmas Eve. He had grown up in a Christian home and I still have memories of my grandfather sitting in his favorite chair reading the Bible every time I would visit. I knew my Dad must have accepted Christ as a child, and been baptized, but I didn’t know for absolute sure. That is a troubling thought for a Christian. The Bible tells us repeatedly that we must have accepted Jesus as Lord and …
The Amazing Story of Joseph Scriven
Although Joseph Scriven faced deep sorrow in his life, not once, but twice, he still devoted himself to helping others and praising Jesus. A poem he wrote became one of the most famous Christian songs. This short video, less than 10 minutes, will help you see what the Christian life is all about. I hope it touches you as it did me.
God Needs You to Bless the Next Generation of Christians
The Christian church could fade away in America as it has begun to do in Europe. There are few in the Millennial generation who attend church weekly and even fewer in Gen Z. This is not sustainable. As those who make up the biggest part of most congregations go home to be with Jesus, the church will shrink, lose financial support and cease to exist. This is the reality. There are Christian churches that close every day in America, in Europe and in other Christian cultures. While the Christian church does good, and helps the poor, single mothers and abused women, people who just need some help and the homeless, the bigger culture continues to demonize the church. The secular culture in America and Europe and other places has convinced …
Christians; the most persecuted
Christians are the most persecuted group in the world. In Muslim-majority countries, Christians are killed, marginalized, intimidated, purged or run out of their home countries. Just after posting this, a pastor and 5 others in West Africa were brutally murdered by Islamist’s, who systematically gunned them down, one at a time. See here
