As Christians, we seek to be transformed into the image of Jesus Christ through the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Christian living is not just about going to church once a week for a service but rather living a life for Christ on a daily basis and allowing ourselves to grow from within. We have to turn from the world’s way of thinking to God’s way of thinking on issues.

But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the…

We can get hung up on a building, a house, a place in looking for church. But there is one location, a special where, that is key to finding the church!

And then there is the matter of fullness in the church - God has a special way He wants that to happen.

"This is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son." (1 John 5:11)

Christ is never proved to be alive from the dead, nor to be Lord, by doctrinal statements. Your statement of faith may include the fact that you believe Jesus died and rose again, ascended to heaven, and is at the…

There seems to be an urgency in the Body of Christ these about people wanting to understand spiritual warfare. I think that maybe it because of the condition of America right now but that is a subject for another day. I have been searching a way to give a friend understanding of spiritual warfare in a way that makes sense. Yesterday while at a ministry leadership conference I heard something, we should all ponder on, this person said, “Warfare is occupational”. In other words he said that…

When you look into a mirror what do you see?

Do you see what God sees or do you see the lie of Satan?

If you were to ask someone today who are you, most would reply by stating their job title, their race or religion, or how they feel about themselves. You would hear, “I’m a doctor,” “I’m an American,” I’m a Baptist,” “I’m a loser,” or I’m depressed.”

Today, heaven and hell are asking the same question, “Who are you?”

If you ask…

Baptism in scripture is associated with salvation.  ‘He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.” (Mark 16:16)  What does it mean to be saved or why do we need salvation?  Salvation relates not to our sins or the forgiveness of our sins, or is not something we receive in heaven when we die (we do not need salvation in heaven), No! The need for salvation is related to the world-system into which we are born.  The domain known in…

The doors were locked, the lights were off, no cars in the parking lot, no one greeting us or no signs of life in the building?

What would the reaction be to most people coming up to look in the window's? What would the discussion be like as more and more people congragated at the entrance to church?

Would they just go back home, would they discuss the possibilities of something just out of the ordinary has happened, would they sit outside and just wait for the pastor to…

I can remember when I was a kid; a hot summer day with a couple of friends doing the stuff the boys do. In the backyard on a carpet of green grass which now had become our Colosseum. Gladiators clad with armour – dirty Chuck Taylors, jeans and t-shirts standing our ground, arms outstretched,…

Can’t we all just get along! This expresses how I feel so many times when I read what people write about the church and others get their two cents worth in how they think. I am all for a free thinking society, but we cannot lose sight of where the real battle lies. Neil Cole ,in the below suggested article, uses…

So many things happened that last evening with the disciples. On the very night in which our Lord was betrayed and drug off to the authorities like a common criminal. A new commandment and a new observance were among the most precious things we have recorded for us that evening. The "Upper Room Discourse" recorded only by the Apostle John has always been one my favorite passages of all the Bible.

The center of everything is the supper and the words Jesus spoke to his disciples…
