What Is The Bible Truth?

In my meanderings online I saw a post that showed two women as a Pastor and "First Lady" which in years past would have caused me to be angry or appalled at the thought and I would begin to say things from the flesh about it. I still don't agree with homosexuals serving in positions of spiritual leadership and I never will accept it. However, when I saw this post at first I wanted to comment, but then I asked God for His revelation and His Words... This is what I shared: I have been quiet because I didn't want to speak without guidance from God so... Regardless of the sin, regardless of the condition anyone living in open rebellion to the Word of God cannot and must not serve in a pastoral capacity. I love everyone regardless of who and what they are as the Bible says that "Love covers a multitude of sins" but nowhere does love excuse or forgive sin. We have to be careful with that word judge. Judging is dangerous by mere human means and to these women in ...

I just spoke with a lady who was so down on herself and her life's condition that it was heartbreaking. Everything was wrong and everything was broken and I looked at her and said "You're the only you you've got so love YOU!" to which she looked me in the eye and said "Thank you! I needed that!" That reminded me that we are all broken and we all need mending by the Father. Pains that are physical, emotional and spiritual are crippling and we all need a Savior who knew what it was like to be beaten down, kicked, whipped and spit on for nothing. Jesus came to heal the broken hearted as the scripture says in Isaiah 61:1. The secret is not to chase a pastor, a sermon or signs and wonders, but to chase after God first makes the healing come. Don't get me wrong, a God loving pastor with the heart of a true shepherd is awesome, but if they fall what would happen to the sheep if the rely on that pastor more than God? God forbid that they fall too... I imp...

Haven't posted in here in a long while, but my mind has been turning lately about... Our churches... Sometimes I feel that many are nothing more than modern day Sanhedrin temples full of Pharisees who are only concerned about their building, their members and their reputation. These same churches have a hollow theology that focuses only on prosperity through giving versus restoration through loving. I see music ministries that have people living alternative lifestyles leading them leading "worship" that connects to a lyric and not God's Presence. I see preachers who just HAVE TO preach because they need enough CDs for the box set they wanna push at the church bookstore versus letting God take over and actually heal someone mind, body and spirit. Which also brings me to altar calls where there isn't prayer, healing or prophecy without a microphone being either yelled into by someone praying or in the face of a wounded vessel so that there business gets told to eve...

Scaffolding never stays on a completed structure. When a building is being built cranes, scaffolding, temporary elevators, service roads and temporary utilities are throughout the site, but as the building reaches each state of completeness these temporary things are removed and fall away. God has placed people in our lives to build us up for a season or to break us in order for us to be shaped i n the way that God has intended for us to be in. This is why when God completes a phase of our construction we shouldn't long for the things that brought us there. People, homes, relationships or jobs that shape us were meant for that season until that phase of us is completed. Everyone that is in our lives will not make it to when we are completed. Some people will hurt us and some will love us and build us up, but sometimes they must fall away too.   The jobs we lose, the homes we leave and the relationships that don't pan out were meant to transform us and not scar us. The trials w...

How many times have we all driven by a Road Work Zone on the way to our destination and noticed the Department of Highways have closed down a lane or slowed traffic for work? I think that we all have and one particular thing that I see sometimes is when there are about ten or fifteen people standing around while one person is actually working. We normally would quip something like "There's our tax dollars at work!" or "We don't pay you to lean! Get to work!" and think nothing of it. Its funny that while everyone is being paid only a few are working towards to the goal which reminds me of the role that the Church has in the world as it relates to gathering the Harvest which are the lost and weary souls that need Jesus. This reminds me of a very powerful scripture in Matthew 9:35-38 (NLT) Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of d...

Here is an interesting study into whether or not Jesus Christ truly existed that I read that I wanted to share. I didn't write this study, but I concur and agree with it! ____________________________________________________________________________ Introduction One of the ideas that persist today is the "Jesus-myth" - the idea that Jesus did not even exist. This idea has been around for some time, and was first significantly publicized in the 1800's by a German scholar named Bruno Bauer. Does the "Jesus-myth" have any scholarly support? The answer is a definitive "no". One has to ignore a great deal of evidence, and treat the evidence left over most unfairly, in order to deny that Jesus existed. Support for the "Jesus-myth" does not come from historians, but from writers operating far out of their field.  For historians, the historicity of Jesus is as sure as that of Julius Caesar. Before we look at some of the availab...

It's time... It's time for us, the true followers of Jesus Christ, to stand up and reclaim the Church. For far too long the Body of Christ has slumbered and slept while the devourer has claimed our congregations, regions, cities, states and country. We have been lulled to sleep by the Era of Political Correctness and have neutered ourselves to please everyone and everything in sight except for Jesus Christ. We need to take a stand and root out the enemy and bring The Word of God back to the forefront where it belongs. There are far too many wolves in sheep’s clothing in our pulpits, in our music industry and on the airwaves. Counterfeits who claim to work within the Power of God, but they are as far from God as the East is from the West. With their charisma and seduction they have millions running towards prosperity, signs and wonders for themselves versus being concerned for the lost, hungry, needy, widowed and abused. They have us persuaded in politics to be th...
