The boxes are not only being checked but have been checked of the list of events that Jesus declared would occur.  For some this will be a hard statement while others already know it….as believers we are not called to be loyal patriots of the United S...

“Let’s Go”      For the God who sent His celestial message service to these lowly shepherds is the God who is nearest to the broken hearted whose spirits are crushed Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him… J...

Racism is not the problem it is a symptom of a far more lethal illness that impacts the entire cosmos for all eternity. It is SIN… man’s rejection of his creator…the one whom gives us meaning value and purpose the very reason to breathe and whom in Christ we concern ourselves not with the outer appearance. Yet as you see nation rise up against nation first look inwards and quietly listen as the sa...

If we believe that faith in Christ and the word of God captured in the scriptures are true …they are power in themselves…that does not need our assistance or additional complication This too is Paul’s conclusion to the chowder-heads in Glatia….because of faith  alone in Christ you are all therefore children of God, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ. Ev...

 There is much much more to this story but in the end this is another form of the perversion of the gospel and its consequences are becoming evident.  Paul’s words in Galatians 2 are a clarion call to all desiring to follow Christ that true followers must crucify their old selves with Christ. Including outside influences, pride, deception, and worldly knowledge. A life with Christ m...

On this day of giving thanks, we can be gratified. Not in the plundering of turkey or other gourmet delights but in the knowledge that Jesus, God in flesh, took the full punishment for the sins of our flesh, accomplishing what no other work or sacrifice ever could and offering salvation to us. Jesus gave up his Spirit on the cross, but God freely gives His Holy Spirit to all who believe (Ephesians...

Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” Today in the world that we live, the smell of sin is becoming more pungent as man celebrates that which is wrong and...

Hi, This is Steve and welcome to another segment of Press On, this is called He Came to his Senses. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it leads to destruction.” Since the fall in the Garden of Eden, man’s own desires “to be like god” has throughout history led to chaos. Pride, hatred, lust for power and the wickedness of the heart lead to trouble for the indiv...

Stop for a second and look around you what do you see, the threat of nuclear war, and endless wars, a boarder being overran, train derailments, bank collapse, political unrest and distrust, public schools teaching godless curriculum, children at vulnerable ages being lied to about changing their sex, and barbarians masquerading as professional physician performing terrible surgeries, parents prote...

"Most of life is lived in the mundane and, so a lot of anxiety has, to do with an accumulation of unresolved things that we have. The scripture calls us to keep short accounts, and that's because we have finite space in our brain. Think of our brain as an inbox that only has so much room there. And when the box starts to get full, the same way that when you go into work and you see an inbox that's...

Hi this is Steve and welcome back to the New Press On. In the gospel of Mathew, we are told of an event that reveals the playbook (force-multiplier) of how Jesus will get the Good News of the gospel out to the world beginning with the local community. His tools 12 uneducated, unrefined commoners, and simple men of faith. They were the commonest of the common. They were from rural areas, farme...

Faith is not passive, it demands that we step out in obedience to the savior risking much to be rewarded by the impossible. It is only reckless when fail to verify the call by asking the question like Peter “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. There are many calls upon our lives but there is only one that can speak to the restlessness of our h...
