It’s hard to believe it is November, which ushers in the “holiday season” and catapults us to the end of another calendar year. I used to think that my birthday on November 10 (the same date Martin Luther entered the world) was what kicked off the celebrations, but a couple years ago someone explained to me that is not the …
THE INCONGRUOUS GLORIFICATION OF DEATH
It’s October, a gorgeous time of year in places where the leaves are colorfully displaying the artistry of our Creator, but a month rather bereft of celebratory days, other than Yom Kippur (if you’re Jewish) and Columbus Day (if you’re an American, or a distant relative of old Chris). I know what you’re thinking, and I agree: “The entire World …
FREEDOM FROM = FREEDOM UNTO
Although I wish I could see you face to face, it is a joy to once again greet you via this amazing electronic medium, and I hope that you are electrified by what you read. I am very excited about writing it, and I pray that the Lord Jesus ministers to you through what I am inspired to share with you. …
You Are the Face of Christ to the World
Have you ever stopped to consider what really happened on the Day of Pentecost, which the “Church Calendar” notes is the first Sunday of this month? Omigosh! The magnitude of what God did on that pivotal day He had so long awaited is something I want to truly understand, never take for granted, and practically apply in my life so …
Shoulder-To-Shoulder With Your Lord Jesus
Does the Bible say that God has “absolute” foreknowledge? Is the future fixed? Is everything going to happen just as God already sees it, or do we actually have freedom to choose for ourselves what we will think, say, and do, and thus play a vital role in determining the future? Can we as human beings limit God Almighty, or …
Godly Selfishness
What??? If that title seems self-contradictory, join us Wednesday evening and find out what it means. If we as Christians are to best serve others, we must first “take heed unto ourselves,” that is, honestly take stock of our own spirituality. As the Head of the Body, our Lord Jesus has a very personal learning curriculum for each member …
God Jr., A Chip Off the Old Block
Subtitle: The Magnitude of Being IN CHRIST The relationship between God Almighty and His only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, is absolutely vital to understand, and that is why for 2K years Satan has made it his #1 doctrinal target to distort and obscure. The Devil knows that if we correctly understand who God is and who His Son is, and how …
Resurrection Revolution!
Statement of Mankind’s Biggest Problem: DEATH. Solution: LIFE. Life begins with BIRTH. Birth begins with SEED. Jesus Christ is the Promised Seed. He is The Friend who came to deliver us from our mortal Enemy, DEATH. By his free will choice to trust His Father all the way to the Cross, Jesus made it possible for God to raise him …
Defeating the Enemy Within
The sub-title for this powerful and practical teaching is, “Whoa is Me!” If you plan to hear it, fasten your seat belt, because it may be a rough ride. We’ll be going into the blackened hills of the human heart, which, in its old nature, is “deceitful above all things.” Not to worry, however, because our Guide and Trail Boss …
Love Never Fails
The title of this teaching is probably decoupaged or needlepointed on the wall of many homes, and for good reason. It is what our Lord Jesus Christ showed us by his sterling example of self-sacrifice. This teaching could be sub-titled The Power of Love, because godly love is the greatest force there is to bring to pass the will of …
