When people are truly born-again of Christ’s Incorruptible Seed, they will no longer be just like the world, they will be very different. And because their ‘life style,’ or ‘way of life’ will be Holy (because He is Holy), they will be enabled to judge Biblically.
Today my wife and I spent a long day off-roading. Our favorite trail was the infamous ‘Heartbreak Ridge.’ However our hearts were not broken. Frankly our lunch spot in the dirt was more ‘bonding’ than a fancy dinner. Considering I had no spotter, my Jeep did very well crawling over many rocks (though I’m not
Our adventure consisted of 8 Jeeps, and 11 persons. We most certainly all had a great time. The weather was beautiful, and the dust was minimal, the scenery was awesome. We were off the road at 0930, and back on the asphalt at 1330. This gave us with 4 hours of pleasurable scenery, v-notches, steep
Admittedly years ago I needed to repent from my patriotic view of the Scriptures, and so I say this with love and concern. Sadly within America I am seeing an ‘increasing trend’ of professing Christians acquiescing to the entitlement culture. More specifically they think they’re entitled to “Christian liberties,” or “religious freedoms,” or “Christian rights.”
This women is the fruit of unbiblical evangelicalism / churchianity, that’s tells the worldlings “just believe” to be saved. Neither a profession of faith, nor an intellectual belief are salvific. If you truly have a ‘Biblical’ love for the lost, you would never tell the lost to just “believe.” What many evangelists are experiencing today,
As a form of worship, and for the glory of God, I was preaching the glorious Gospel at this bus depot. I preached on the “bad news and the good news,” as well as on Gods wrath, love, and repentance. As always, I offered anyone to approach me for prayer or further conversation. One fellow
With the Presidential election ‘finally’ here, I find this sermon to be in Gods perfect providence. Dr. Duncan debunks the man-made cliché, that “God loves the sinner, but hates the sin.” In this sermon He speaks from the Scriptures as how Gods wrath is demonstrated to ‘three different people groups,’ as well as to Nations. And
Based on what I’m observing on social media, many Christians are becoming unloving, and very legalist in their posts and comments regarding this presidential election. I like what Dr. James White said in warning the church about this presidential election. “Be careful that your zeal for things political does not drag you across the line
A brother and friend of mine recently attended a Wednesday night ‘Bible’ study at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, whereas their idolized celebrity pastor (Jack Hibbs) ended with a lot of voting hyperbola. Rather than Hibbs be a strong under-shepherd, he engaged the congregation in a lot of emotionalism, and sensationalism. Their pastor even told his
For many reasons I am thankful that we had ‘zero’ knocks on our door last night. Both trick-or-treaters, and cults are staying away. A man’s front door is more volatile than his nation’s border, and it must be secured and guarded. Out of respect for people’s privacy, I do not do ‘door to door’ evangelism.
499 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on that door, and without computers his theses went viral. Are you ready to die for Christ, and His inerrant sufficient Gospel? Though my experience is ‘trivial’ compared to Dr. Luther’s trial. Years ago an FBI Agent tried to get me to deny my
A Biblical response to the hysteria of this 2016 Presidential election by Bill Rhetts A post to all professing Christians: An element of salvation is repentance, faith, and trust in the Lord, all of which the Lord gives vertically to those whom he saves (His church). That repentance, faith, and trust should become evident, as
Yesterday I spent 7 hours laboring the Gospel at the funeral for slain Palm Springs police officers Lesley Zerebny & Jose “Gil” Vega.’ By the grace of God, and for the glory of God, He enabled me to personally distribute 1,000 Gospel tracts. To maximize my effectiveness, the Lord provided the perfect places to stand,
Many police officers – deputies (and lost citizens) will be offended by these messages that I conveyed to these many students, but it is the Gospel truth. However, if a person is born-again, they will then be enabled to comprehend this. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for
