Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

That was the title of the song that launched George Michael's career. But it is also the attitude of many Christians who want to sleep soundly until the Lord returns. May the Lord find us awake and trusting Him... with hearts pure and clean... and lives that have a testimony of giving ourselves to serve Him by helping the lost to recognize the path of eternal life.

Hell and Heaven

Hell is a real place... and it is not any place you want to go to.

What comes after hell? The Lake of Fire.

But Jesus died and rose so that you could enjoy heaven. Choose life! Choose Jesus.

Heaven and Hell

We hear about heaven in movies like “What Dreams My Come.” We hear about hell in songs like “Hell” by the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

What does the Bible say about heaven and hell?

Inside

God is not a million miles away, He is on the inside. When you come to Christ you become part of His body, and He is on the inside. You can communicate with Him... and He will with you... because He is on the inside.

Defender (Part Three)

In 1 Samuel 1, a woman named Hannah was crying in her heart to God... she wanted a baby. The prophet saw her crying with her lips moving and assumed she was drunk. Isn't that just like people... you are doing the right thing and they accuse you? Yet... Hannah was faithful and received her hopes and dreams because God is a faithful defender.

Defender (Part Two)

Continuing on the thought that God will protect and defend you... like He did when Elisha was accosted by a group of juvenile delinquents. Let's focus on our walk with God... and praying for each other... and watch God move in our lives.

Defender (Part One)

God will defend and protect you. This is because He is a loving Father. As you walk with Him, you will grow to know Him more. He will defeat your enemy (satan) and hold off all who would work against you... and he will discipline you when you screw up. He is your Father. He is your defender.

True Religion

There are those who say that there is no such thing as God and that they don’t accept any religious practice. Others say that all religion is the same and that there is no difference. But there is such a thing as true religion and there is one very simple and straightforward way to practice it.

God Wants You Well

God wants you to be well and to enjoy life -- but that requires some good and positive choices on our part. Don't wait until you need someone to wheel you up to the preacher to be prayed for... start now by living a healthy lifestyle by using COMMON SENSE and by meditating on the Word of God.

Purple Pope Hats?

Are you pursuing a daily personal and intimate walk with God... or do you hide behind the symbols of your religious tradition?

Watch Your Mouth!

Words are powerful things. They can bring life... or death. This teaching makes some powerful points, taking a look at precepts from the Hebrew culture of the Old Testament and bringing it forward through the New Testament into today’s society.

What is coming out of your mouth? And, more importantly, how is it affecting your life and the lives of those around you?

The Rod of Correction

With youth becoming more and more involved in crime... to the point where 3rd graders conspired to murder their teacher... we need to go back to the old school. Spare the rod, destroy the child.

Food for Thought

  1. Exposure to the Son may prevent burning...

  2. The King of Pop is gone, the King of Comedy is gone, the King of Soul is gone, the King of Rock is gone, but the King of Kings lives on!

  3. When Jesus said “Fret Not,” He wasn’t saying that you shouldn’t play the guitar...
