A Wolf Running With The Big Dogs Knows When To Bite

John 18:2 (KJV) And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.

Judas ran with the big dogs.  Yet, Judas was intimately familiar with Jesus’s habits and knew that He resorted to prayer in this garden for one on one communication with God.  This ancient situation proves that a person can attend church, be close to sincerely serving hearts, say the ...

Take Criticism and Condemnation With Grace

Take Criticism and Condemnation With Grace

1 Peter 2:23 (KJV) Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.

Indeed, you know that the Apostle Peter speaks in this scripture about the gentle, unassuming, loving nature of Jesus Christ, especially when a person points a finger of judgment towards Him, without merit.  As Jesus Christ suffers, he does not treat others with the same contempt and disregard. ...

If You Are In Christ, You Are Pleasing To God

If You Are In Christ, You Are Pleasing To God

If You Are In Christ, You Are Pleasing To God

Philippians 2:13 (KJV) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

A child of God does not get saved by placing faith in God and pleasing Him with works.  No, God was pleased with the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary, and if you are living in Christ and redeemed by His shed blood rather than wrapped up in ...

There Are Two Spirits At Work

1 Corinthians 2:10-12 (KJV) But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is ...

Where Are All The Lions?

Where Are All The Lions?

October 11, 2021

Where Are All The Lions?

Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

It seems we live in a world full of lions, but when it comes to those who publically profess a personal relationship with Christ, God’s people often present as meek and mild as field mice.  In other words, the content of this message from scripture seems far removed among lost and saved souls.  Instead, the wicked are ...

Not A Mamma’s Boy

Proverbs 16:9 (KJV) A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

The leading and direction of a publically professing man of God are critical, especially true for a man who stands in the pulpit.  Indeed, any man who led to step up the podium must be a humbled man of God whom the Spirit of God leads to commit to teaching and preaching to others. 

It is easy for an overburdened preacher to ...

An Unruly House

An Unruly House

An Unruly House

Titus 1:6-7 (KJV) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre.

These verses lay out the essential attributes of a pastor and the character of his family. Indeed, though no man is perfect, I hope you know that if a ...

Heaven Just Gained Another Angel?

Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

How often do you hear the line “heaven just gained another angel…?”  Well, the truth is a bit different.  Maybe heaven did, and then again, perhaps did not receive another soul.  This verse from Hebrews gives us the truth about the imminence of death and the coming wrath of God against sin.  However, no verse, including this ...

God Can Use Our Situation For His Glory

Romans 8:28 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Isn’t it wonderful to know that God can use each one of us, mistakes, warts, and all!  This verse brings comfort and joy to countless sincere professing children of God worldwide.  The context of this verse expresses the truth that no matter what state ...

Study Is Necessary

2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

It is a sad fact that many pulpits are circling the drain on this earth.  Though God promises there will always be a remnant of sincere believers, there is undoubtedly a whole gutter full of dark-minded preachers who do not know or serve God.  It is because such so-called preachers exist that ...
