Misunderstood Scriptures

I was reading online this morning about tattoos and the still yet ongoing debate about whether Christians should have them or not and it really struck me that there are so many scriptures quoted and used as doctrine, but are out of context and actually misused much like Leviticus 19:28. There are many things that I don't necessarily support, but are used to imprison God's people in a framework that is designed around the opinions of one person or a small group to suit their needs. This is not how the Bible should be used and interpreted because it ultimately causes division in the body of Christ. I'd like to take some time and review some really big scriptures used that are out of context, but should be between you, God and no one else. Leviticus 19:28 - Tattoos If we were to read the entire chapter we will see that this verse in a long list of do's and don't was referring to the actions that the Canaanites did as the Israelites were conquering their land.

A Word About The End Times

As I listen to the messages and ministries of many churches across our great land I very rarely hear any messages concerning the End of Days and how close we are to them beginning. Although this subject to many is a very confusing and seemingly mystic subject it is what each of us has to know not to understand it, but to avoid it. This post won't be laden full of scriptures and scary images I promise you, but I will say this: Everything that is happening now has been written in the Bible many years before it happened. The instability of the Middle East started with two half-brothers Ishmael & Isaac. Both are sons of Abraham and both are heirs to his legacy. These branches of Abraham are the Arabs and the Jews. Both took two very different paths yet they both claim the same prize: Jerusalem. Let me in on a well-know secret: There will not be peace in the Middle East or the world sadly until after Jesus returns for His Church and millions of Christians and innocent children w

God And Homosexuality

I have a warning to the readers of this post. I am a Christian and I fervently believe all that the Bible says and the will and Word of God. I love every person on this planet and I have the love of Jesus Christ on the inside of me and it is manifested each and every day. Simply put: I love people. This issue of homosexuality being something we are inborn is not only incorrect, but is the greatest lie that Satan has ever told. A behavior is a choice, but a skin color or genetic trait is not. If you wish to hate me for this viewpoint please know that I love you all, but like God I cannot and will not condone or stand up for sin in any form. For the record, I do not condone any violence or harm to come to anyone in this lifestyle choice. I just pray that before its too late that you meet Jesus Christ and let Him reveal to you His perfect plan. The Bible is right and is the most persecuted book on the Earth which should make people take notice of what it stands for which is the truth. The
