We’re Rich – Why Aren’t We Happy?

Listen to a word from A.W.Tozer; ” I want to bring you my postulate that most present-day Christians live sub-Christian lives. As a result, Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone. Most Christians are not joyful persons because they are not holy persons, and they are not holy persons because they are not filled with the Holy Spirit, and they are not filled with the Holy Spirit because they are not separated persons. The Spirit cannot fill whom He cannot separate, and whom He cannot fill, He cannot make Holy, and whom He cannot make holy, He cannot make happy. My postulate further insists that the average modern Christian is not Christ-like. The proof of this is...

Christian! Are You Called???????

“For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 Calling. God’s calling. What is it and what does it mean to be called according to His purpose? And how what does it mean specifically in our lives as 21st century believers? Let’s start by a general discussion and definition of “calling.” Calling is often thought of as something that only happens when a Christian “surrenders” to the “call” to the professional ministry. Ie. to be a pastor, missionary, etc. This is a cultural misunderstanding of the term. While it does apply to the offices within the Church (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, Teacher – Eph 4:11) it is by no means limited to them. It may be that no other...

And This is Progress????

In the last 50 years our national congress has passed, and various presidents have signed into law, literally tens of  thousands of laws and regulations, all designed, at least theoretically to establish and define, if not create, an ethical and moral   “good society.” The Supreme Court has issued hundreds of verdicts and interpretations of those laws. Add to these the gross number of laws and rulings that have been added by our state governments and the sheer number and weight of all this legislation and judicial ruling is way beyond staggering the imagination. It is expressive of man’s vain hope that government, any government can provide a safe, secure, and prosperously happy society. It is stunning to see how man persists in this hope in the face of such contrary...

Simple Words Can Stimulate Profound Thoughts!

I recently received an email with the following signiature: “What one generation tolerates, the next embraces.” “What we do in moderation our children will do in excess.” “ Our tolerance and silence has given silent permission for morality and common sense to be abdicated!” “Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority of elitist snobs, and rabidly promoted by a corrupted and unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t–d by the clean end.” “A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.”– Gerald R. Ford “Calling an illegal alien an...
