What Is The Bible Truth?

I saw the article on CNN's website about the interview that Piers Morgan had with Joel & Victoria Osteen and I had to comment on what I read.  Piers Morgan & Joel Osteen Finally! Joel admits that something is a sin! He didn't come out strongly, but it is a start. We can proclaim something as being a sin without condemnation and I feel that Joel actually did that to a degree by continually pointing to the scripture which is exactly how we should do it, but we should be confident in the Word as it stands. Joel was also asked about prosperity and to a great deal I agree with what he said. There is nothing wrong with having money as long as you love God more. There is a spirit (I believe) that is in the church today that tells us that if we have money we are sinful and that we need to be in lack in order to be holy. I strongly believe that as long as God is first in your life and that you use your money to bless others then God is pleased. Why else would He say "

I have noticed a trend when it comes to Christians these days and I just had to address it. People are seeking more than just religion or church as usual. I am hearing of new ministries being formed and people going beyond what they were taught or what they have experienced because they feel emptiness inside. Don't worry... I truly believe this is God's way of "stirring up Jerusalem" again for a great move of God. I'll be honest... Most churches are so traditional and so overly cultural that God is left in the background. The pastor has a special seat, there an official/unofficial dress code, the music is more Top 40 or sermons are full of lollipops and rainbows versus the Word of God. Sound familiar? Many are RUNNING away from denominational churches and heading to churches that are non-denominational. They are running away from dogma, traditions and fluff and they are running to where the Word is being taught and needs are being met. Real issues, real hunger a

My journey to seek the truth in the Bible many times takes many twists and turns and I encounter many people along the way. I never seek to belittle or attack anyone, but I always approach people with the direct Word of God and nothing else. As I subscribe to no denominations, but to Christ directly I have and will continue to interface and refute any tradition or doctrine that is obviously contrary to the Bible. This is controversial, but necessary as souls are on the line. In this post Catholicism is the subject. As I was doing research I came across a site that claimed to back up Catholic doctrine with scriptures so I definitely began to read it and saw that there were many contradictions so I emailed the web-master who did reply to me. Here are the emails in their entirety. ____________________________________________________________________________ Hello John, Greeting in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Friends, I cannot stress to you the passion and desire that I have for reaching the lost and helping win them over to Jesus. There are many people searching for answers or aren't sure about the "answers" that they have believed for most of their lives. We as true believers need to have compassion on them and love them as Jesus loved us. Too many people are trying to convert someone to their denomination versus winning them to Christ. We must show love and share the Word of God un filtered and unfettered from the traditions of man or the interpretations of "great men and women of God" as the Bible truly stands alone as a great masterpiece all by itself! Today, take the time to separate your witness from your denomination, bishop, pastor and ideal and simply illuminate God's Word. This is what can truly change the world! God Bless you!

After taking some time off to have a "spiritual self- search" I am back to writing this blog. I had to take some time off and evaluate my spiritual walk and my personal ministry to reach the lost with the message of a relationship with Christ versus being stuck in the confines of religion. I feel refreshed and renewed as I begin to write again. It was difficult and very stressful, but I had to go through the Refiner's Fire to be further purged by God in order for Him to get even more glory out of my life. That being said I am ready for new challenges and new doors to be open in my ministry. When I realized that I had reached a plateau in hwere I was in God I had to search further and lay before God again because I knew that He was calling me higher, but there was something that was hindering me from going there. It wasn't sin, but it was more surrendering that I had to do in order to be used by Him. So, that being said I will be changing how I do this blog, but I
