It is good to always acknowledge the Lord God in the good as well as the bad times. We do not know the situations or conditions of others especially those of our neighbor.  Even when we are privy to much information, we are not given the timing or the judgement of others.  Thankfully we are given to know that all things will work according to the Law of God concerning all of us. We are to choose h...

The Letter of St. John clearly challenges our understanding of what faith is and how it operates in the believer.

There are times of distress and trouble in which many of the enemies of God and the opposers of Good are effective and victorious in their efforts. This may be the case in many of our situations and that those who are to receive justice, equity, and portions rightfully earned go without their due reward. Sometimes its is hard to understand why many of these things are allowed but we also must reme...

In time of trial and temptations we all must make decision to who and to whom we will serve. The pressures of our world and those of people can often be overwhelming. These things can be fearful as we go in opposition to popular beliefs and political postures which we already know are contradictory to the word of God and his standards. Please be aware that this is not something new to the body in...

We are in times which our light must shine brightly in the places and corners in which we live and conduct our daily business and leisure activities. We are known by the fruit in which we produce and if that fruit is of Christ or of the world and world system. It is not a time in which we should be busy in comparison of the works of others but busy in the business of our Lord and Savior. One of ou...

Time and chance happens to all people. There are situations and circumstances that occur in our lives we have no control over. The rain falls on the Good and the Evil as well as the shining of the sun. Regardless of the weather in our lives we are constantly required to make decisions concerning how we will conduct ourselves and the path that we will take.  Our actions will align to our heart and...

We have been given freedom in Christ Jesus and are not in bondage to the Law. The liberty we have received in Christ Jesus allows us to have life and life more abundantly. Our freedom in Christ is not for the continuation in sinful and evil things but for the adoration of the Lord. Our liberty provides us many ways of displaying his grace, love, mercy, and acceptance of the nations. Those who are...

We are in times of great distress and uncertainty concerning our everyday Health, Safety, and Security. Many around us are not assured in many of their fundamental needs. When we are not assured in our position, situations and the condition of others can have substantial effects on our lives.  These are common and becoming more prevalent with those who are not secure in a relationship with Christ....

Oftentimes we are provided with evidence of the word and will of God which is undeniable. At this point in time, we must make a conscious decision to accept the truth that has been provided to us and supported by the scriptures and witnesses.  Often, we do not accept these things due to prior teachings and our religious doctrines we have held so firmly. As you move into a deeper relationship with...

Even in devastating times the Lord will not abandon us, but we must also understand that the God of Mercy, Grace, Peace, Love, Comfort and Salvation is also the God of Justice.  The evils of sin must be judged, and the blood of the innocent will be settled by his decrees. We are in evil times of the earth and so much has been done by mankind to destroy the things that he provided to us and for us....

Those of us who were brought up in various religious practices and cultures often make those rituals and social identities our only source of worship and acknowledgement of our Lord.  These practices without a personal relationship will become stagnate and our beliefs of who God is will also become narrow in focus.  Your service to the Lord and community will become mechanical and your works will...

Situations and circumstances come up all men. However, some of our troubles are because of things we have done and have continued to do despite many warnings. We do not live in a place of solitude we are a collective grouping of people starting with the family, Community, Town City, State and Country.  As sin increases at each of these levels there are results and judgements that are executed on t...

Let’s us not forget we have no righteousness of our own which is acceptable un to God the Father.  Because of our sinful nature even our righteousness is filthy in his eyesight. In Jesus we are made acceptable and righteous by his righteousness and goodness. Those who are in Christ are partakers of his right standing with God the Father. In Him we are made partakers of his holiness and returned to...

We are in and will continue to be in times of division concerning many of our personal, political, and spiritual convictions. However, we are as scripture has established to obey those individuals who have authority over us.  We are to comply to their request if their directives are not in direct opposition to the word of God or to what the Lord has individually directed us to do.  We obey our lea...

We all come into times of personal testing in which we must decide who will be God in our lives.  The God of all creation or the god of this world and world system.  In times of trial and temptation we often discover who we are aligned with by our actions and are uncovered by our motives.  Trials expose our maturity in the Lord or our pettiness in the faith.  Do not despise the testing of your fai...

Often, we are confronted most by those who we believe would be supportive of our chosen paths of service to our communities and those the Lord has assigned us to serve. After all many of them were also selected for public service in some form.  However, there are many among us that believe that only a few methods of service is acceptable and honorable.  Those who choose to serve in other capacitie...

The grace and mercy of the Lord is always extended to us and especially those who will acknowledge their shortcomings.   Those who are willing to turn away from their wrongdoings and embrace the love he has for them personally.  We all have come to a crossroads in our lives where we have had to take inventory of our lives to include the things that need to be discarded that no longer have place in...

Many of us have been trained to plan out our day, weeks, and Months well in efforts to maximize our productivity and to accomplish our task with great efficiency.  However, we seldom consult the Lord in our Efforts to determine if our wishes and plans align with His will for us for that given schedule. Most of us do not ask his guidance or permission concerning where we will go, what we will do, o...

There is and has been great debates of how the rapture will unfold with one group believing that the rapture will happen before any of the sorrows begin to occur. The other group believing that many of the sorrows will begin, and the rapture will happen before the greatest of the sorrows begin.  The scriptures are clear concerning this issue and provides an example of how it will unfold as the bir...

We who are in the household of faith have an obligation to the Lord to bring into existence a character and manner of behavior which shows his character and behavior in everything we do.  This can only happen if we remain in him and in his will for us. We are called out of the world for this purpose to produce fruits of morality and justice to the benefit of all in our communities. We are to make...

Some of us have witnessed great things in which the Lord has done in our lives. Things in which many would have seen which would have quickly converted them to the faith in God. However, some of us are more focused on leaders more than the one who Leads them! This should not be so in the household of faith. We must develop our own knowledge and relationship with the Lord so in the time of our wild...

Often, we overlook many of the methods the Lord chastises our citizens due to the overwhelming cries of our sinful actions for justice.  We often equate the consequences to acts of nature and quickly minimize many of the ways the Lord attempts to get our attention.  The word of God speaks of pestilence in the land and Earthquakes in places not known to have experienced them in decades, droughts, f...

The letters to the churches are to the saints of the Lord.

Regardless of which of these seven churches is representative of your status, th...
