In the sermon, “His Name-Wonderful!” C.H. Spurgeon says, “Infinite, and an infant. Eternal, and yet born of a woman. Almighty, and yet hanging on a woman’s breast. Supporting a universe, and yet needing to be carried in a mother’s arms. King of angels, and yet the reputed son of Joseph. Heir of all things, and [...]
Fool’s Gold or Purpose Driven, You Decide. (Part 2)
In Chapter 2 of John MacArthur’s book, “Fool’s Gold?” he states, “‘Seeker Sensitive’ preaching fosters people who are consumed with their own well-being.” (p. 39,40). Pastor MacArthur feels that there are too many simplistic preachers of God’s Word that are more focused on meeting the needs of people rather than meeting the ultimate need for [...]
Fool’s Gold or Purpose Driven, You Decide. (Part 1)
In his book, Fool’s Gold, John MacArthur writes, “…we are reminded of the need to discriminate between truth and falsehood…Discriminate simply means ‘to make a clear distinction.’” (p. 21). Pastor MacArthur is making a call to preach the Word of God. In a world where everything we say or do must be “politically correct” Pastor [...]
Word of GOD or Word of Man?
Errancy as defined by Merriam-Webster is “the state or an instance of erring.” Inerrancy then could be defined as the state or an instance of not erring. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16 NIV). The term God-breathed can also be translated God-inspired, therefore, [...]
Life: A Balance
Sometimes, my head feels like it’s so full of “stuff” that eventually my ears will begin oozing. On May 17th I started school again. It is a little different from before because I’m doing it all online this time. I am officially a “Religion” student at Liberty University. I’m taking Old Testament Survey, Evangelism, Theology [...]
Worry not about tomorrow…
I’ve started Ezekiel. For now, I’m simply reading through it, reading the study notes in my bible. Once I read through it, I’ll then read through it again. Then I will begin to break it down into smaller chunks. Chapter by chapter. Then I’ll get down to verse by verse. I will be in Ezekiel [...]
Surrender…
So, I’m at work and taking a break. We do get those here. It’s kind of nice. I’ve been thinking a lot about where I am, what I’m doing, where I’m going. I was thinking this morning about the three years that Christ was in ministry. Then, I was reading Galatians, and thought how Paul [...]
To wait upon the Lord…
I feel a little bit lost lately. It’s almost like being trapped in the “Twilight Zone”. Everyday is the same. Or, maybe a little closer to the movie Groundhogs Day. There seems to be this continuous cycle of “same ole same ole” with no change in sight. Most of my feelings revolve around not really [...]
Drugs Really Do Suck
Drugs really do suck. They consume a person’s mind and body until they eventually run you into the very pit of hell. It’s been an interesting week. I received a phone call on Monday night from a friend. They had a homeless woman in their house and she told them that she wanted to kick [...]
A Peculiar People…
I Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; There is an amazingly intriguing and exciting history surrounding the nation of Israel. From the way this [...]
