Metamorphosis — a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into  a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means.  Transformation — only Jesus and the Holy Spirit can change or  reconstruct a life.

Growing up Catholic, I understood the Holy Ghost to be part of the Holy  Trinity and the shoulder taps when you did the sign of the cross on  yourself. Now, as a born again believer, who has the Holy Spirit living  inside of me, I realize what I was missing out on in my youth...

The same earthquakes that hit Philadelphia in 17 and 23 AD also affected  Laodicea. Laodicea was also a prosperous city. It was the banking  center of the area. They even had a well-sought-after eye balm that  cured many problems of the eyes. However, they had a water problem -- or  lack thereof. There was no water source nearby so water was piped in  from a fairly distant...

Philadelphia — the City of Brotherly Love — not the one in Pennsylvania —  but the one in Asia Minor, in 95 AD, that Jesus wrote to in chapter 3  of the Book of Revelation. This is the second letter, like the one to Smyrna , with no scolding or admonishment. Here’s why… Click on over to my blog for a video on the story of the church of Philadelphia and a specially selected song for these...

The city of Sardis, which is our next stop in our journey through  Revelation, has an interesting history. The video below explains it.  However, it reminded me of my first major hurricane experience in Miami  -- Hurricane Andrew in 1992. I had lived through 3 other minor  hurricanes in NY and Puerto Rico, but this one was bad. Small, compact,  but packing a 150 MPH punch....

Have you ever quit a job because your boss wanted you do something or they did something that was against your faith values and morals? I have  -- twice.

Christian Church persecution started right after Pentecost in Jerusalem.  The Jewish Pharisees and temple leaders did not like the apostles and  new converts preaching what Jesus preached. As the church grew and  spread all over the Roman empire, the Romans then persecuted the  Christians severely.  Smyrna, the Persecuted Church... Continue reading in my blog... For more i...

Ephesus is the first church to be called out in Jesus’ letters to the  7 churches in the Book of Revelation. Why Ephesus? It was the main  church in the area — what is now Turkey — and the Apostle John was the  bishop or overseer of the 7 churches and based in Ephesus. Besides  Ephesus, the 7 churches included Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis,  Philadelphia, and Laodicea...

Given all that's going on in the world today, I'm going to delve into Bible Prophecy and the Book of Revelation .  It's the last book of the Bible and here's a hint -- Jesus wins! The  whole Bible, starting with Genesis is leading us to the Book of  Revelation and Jesus' victory over Satan.... Continue reading on my blog and there are links to resources and other podcasts...

To whom are you accountable? If you own a business, you are  accountable to your customers to provide the product or service that  they paid for in a reasonable amount of time. And if you have employees,  you are responsible for paying them the wages agreed upon when hired.  They are accountable to you to do the work you told them to do. If you are married, you are accountable...

Pride. It's one of the 7 Deadly Sins .  God doesn't like pride. Prideful people think they can do it all by  themselves and that they don't need God. That is a lie and they are  fooling no one but themselves. Look around the world today. All it took  was a tiny, microscopic virus to turn the world on its knees. COVID-19  is an equal opportunity virus. Even if you don't get...

One of the 5 Solas that I spoke about before is Solus Christus — only through Jesus Christ alone can we be saved. Jesus confirms this in the Gospel of John chapter 10… Continue reading on my blog....

Jesus calls himself the "alpha and omega" -- the first and the last --  in the first chapter of the Book of Revelation written by the Apostle  John. However, in John's first writing, the Gospel of John, he tells us  how Jesus is the beginning of everything.... Keep reading in my blog....

I end each of my podcasts and blog articles with "Soli Deo Gloria" which  is a Latin phrase that means to God alone be the Glory. I'm not taking  credit for my work because it comes from the Holy Spirit. There are 4  other "Solas" that tell the truth about the salvation of Jesus Christ. What are the 5 Solas?

Yesterday I wrote and spoke about how to me, baptism by immersion is a way that we show ourselves, our friends and family that we are dying to our old sinful ways and are reborn in a new life through Jesus Christ. It imitates what Jesus did by dying and then rising from the dead. Then what happens? Continue reading in my blog.... These Bible apps will make it easy for you to get into the habit of...

When I first decided that I wanted to start going to church again after living the prodigal life , I knew I didn't want to go back to the Catholic Church. Something in my heart was telling me to go elsewhere -- to seek the truth....

One thing the Catholic Church gets wrong, is teaching that you have to  work your way into Heaven. According to them, you buy "grace points"  when you follow their rules, rituals and regulations. That is not God's  Gospel of Grace. It's like the picture above -- you can't build your way  to Heaven. You just can't. Keep reading in my blog.... If Purgatory exists, then Jesus suff...

Growing up Catholic ,  I was led to believe that if you didn't go to confession each week or  even go to mass on Sundays, you'd go to hell. But if you were good, and  you observed all the rules and rituals of the Catholic Church, then  you'd go to Heaven -- eventually. You first needed to spend some time in  Purgatory. How do you get out of Purgatory? You supposedly rack u...

In researching the early Christian church for my novel ,  my goal was to feel like I was sitting in the midst of a church  meeting. To know what it was like for a Roman girl, raised to believe  that there was a god for everything and how she can come to understand  that there is only One True God and He sent His only Son to earth to die  for us so that we can live forever...

When I decided that I wanted to get closer to God after being a prodigal for many years, I dusted off my family's BIG Bible. You know that one  that sits either on the mantle or as in our house, on a book shelf so it  would look good if the priest or pastor came to visit. Nobody actually  picked it up and read it. It was a King James version -- like I really  knew the differenc...

As we conclude the Apostle Paul's amazing letter to the church of Rome, I  want to highlight his special warnings in his final instructions... I'm not going to bore you with the first few verses where Paul greets members of the church and the leadership individually. You can read it for yourself here....  Read along with my blog....

In the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Roman church, he writes to a church  that’s very mixed in cultures — Jews and Gentiles. He’s been explaining  that they were now all one family — Christians — brought together by belief in the salvation of Jesus Christ . Here in chapter 15, he lays it out for us…..

It's not for me to judge you or your beliefs. God will judge you in His time. That's the crux of Romans 14. Back in the first  century, the Jews tried to keep what we know today as kosher foods. The  Gentiles didn't care. They ate everything. God showed Peter in Acts 10  that all food is OK to eat... Continue reading in my blog... If you want to reap all the benefits of the Holy Spi...

Romans 13 hits Christians with 2 commands that may be the hardest to  swallow, let alone obey. But if we want to be good Christians and strive  to be Christlike, obey we must.
