Webster’s definition of addiction – To devote or surrender oneself to something (or someone) habitually or obsessively. Eph 2:3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.

What are Your Spiritual Beliefs? We All Have Doubts – Be Certain YOU are on the Correct Path! As a physician, I know that spiritual health is paramount, taking precedence over both the physical and the psychiatric. Without adequate spiritual well-being, there is no legitimate foundation upon which one’s overall health can be complete. Yet, in our darkened and often lost world,... The post DISSECTI...

In today’s review of James 2:14-26, we learn that “faith,” which does not show itself through God-driven works, proves itself to be a faith that will not save. It is nothing more than mere talk.  Do you see in life Christians that believe that just checking the box and going to church on Sunday is... The post Prove It!! first appeared on The Nomad Pastor .

Last week I talked about the Storms in our life, and today, I want to try and build on that by talking about hardships.  That is what storms cause, hardships.  If you are discouraged by hardships, I want to encourage you to look past the difficulties so that you can embrace the possibilities in front...

Sometimes I truly love to watch a rainstorm coming.  The best place for me to watch a storm is on the banks of almost any lake where you can see the clouds off in the distance and then you start to see the rain roll over the water as it comes towards you.  To me...

It is not hard to see that we live in a broken and wrecked world.  It is everywhere we look.  I recently did a podcast asking if we are living in the end times because it seems like we are close based on everything I see.  God told us that this would happen.  Jesus said...

Today my question is simple?  Would you be willing to die for a lie? Not just would you die but would you be tortured and die for a lie that you knew wasn’t true?  That is the biggest part of the question, that you knew that it wasn’t true.  I believe that when people challenge...

2 Timothy 3:1–5 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,  without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather...

There are numerous arguments for the existence of God, but one today is so important that I feel like we need to talk about it.  You see we have a design argument, a cosmological argument, a first-cause argument, and others but today we need to talk about the Moral Argument for God.  Each one of...

What significance do numbers have in the Bible? Most numbers carry a symbolic purpose in the Bible. Seven, for instance, also means completeness and perfection; as does the number 3. In the Bible, numbers can have many purposes, such as conveying something significant in the narrative: prophetically, spiritually, or symbolically. I want to look at...

For me, one of the biggest issues I have seen within the church is people getting hurt by other Christians.  It may seem small to some but large to others.  The little comments, the negative looks, the judgment, the fear, the false doctrine, the members that have no idea what real salvation looks like, maybe...

“Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.
