Keep ReadingHebrews 10:24-25"And let us consider to provoke unto love and good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves togetheras the manner of some is: but exhorting one another ; and so much more as we see the day approaching." Since the time of my conversion to Christ in October of 1966, there has never been a time when I was not active and in faithful attendance and part...
Keep ReadingDoes the Bible divide life into the sacred (i.e. other worldly) and the secular (i.e. pertaining to this world only)? Do you believe that Sunday is more important than Monday through Saturday? Do you think the only work worth doing happens in a church building or some ministry setting? Do you see a sharp divide in your life between the things you do for God and the things ...

Keep ReadingI continue to write about the importance and imperativeness of emphasizing the resurrection of Jesus because, after Easter Sunday, most Christians give little thought to it. But it is an historical event with experiential life and power that we are meant to live and operate in every day!

Paul states these in negative te...
Keep ReadingChristians should celebrate the Resurrection daily and not just annually at Easter because it is the day in which the "SON" came out of the tomb and all of history was changed forever in that historical event. Theologian Eric Sauer rightly asserts, "The present age, for us as Christians, is Easter time, it begins with the resurrection of the Redeemer, and ends with the re...
Keep ReadingJohn 20:19, "On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews," In spite of the fact that several women had encountered the resurrected Lord Jesus on that first Easter Sunday morning, and Peter and John had visited and seen with their own eyes the empty tomb, their fear of the Jews was still greate...
Keep ReadingThe final week of Jesus' life in which he went from death by crucifixion to bodily resurrection in the space of three days, was literally the climax of human history. Many wrongfully think that the climax of history will occur at the Second Coming of Christ. But the Second Advent will result in the consummation of history. Thus, the first Advent of Christ is the most signi...
Keep ReadingIs being spiritual some mystical, ethereal, existential experience that happens inside you and is to be kept private? Is it primarily about striving to become more like Jesus in inner essence of character, being a faithful church attendee, and learning to have your own personnel quiet time, until you can get off this old corrupt world and go to heaven? Or is it something ...
