    There is a chill in the air!

    I believe keeping a spiritual fire, light, and warmth in the heart are things most important. I also believe this fire and light are things that easily dissipate away. There are those of age who have droopy dog jaws and eye-lids that never seem to smile and are always negative. It should be a...

    The Devil in Church People

    There is a difference between preaching and testifying. I felt led of the Holy Spirit to say what I did and am glad I did. But, that was the first and the last of the decade I worked with the man that I said anything to him at all pertaining to Christ. I am in hopes that he remembers what I told...

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    If God created man from nothing he would return to nothing. But... God created man fro dust, similar to that which was without form. And to the dust man will return...

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    I believe as E = mc2 so m (mass) = E/c2 (Energy) God was always there. He was never created and he will never be destroyed. But the form of the E/c2 will change as he wills it. For our God is a consuming fire. - Hebrews 12:29 God is E/c2... He can cool E/c2 to form mass, or he can turn it...

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    I have the universe without form and void. I believe by God saying, “Let there be light!” Turned the m (mass) into plasma energy (E/c2) and everything expanded out from a point of origin. The earth being put in orbit around the sun constituted the first day.

    Time is not an Eternal Concept

    If E = mc2 then we can divide and conclude that Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2) Mass can dis-associate into plasma energy (E/c2) Plasma energy can re-associate into mass (m) Making mass, I believe, eternal stuff. Time, however, is not eternal and soon will cease. Mass (m) = Energy (E/c2) The mass...

    The Apostle Paul told a Christian congregation.... My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... - Galatians 4:17 If Christ is formed in the character there will be no demonic spirits on the inside.

    The Devil in Church People

    I believe the protestant reformation a good thing... However.... Reading into men like John Calvin and Martin Luther, and some of their hate filled commentaries, makes me wonder if they were not as bad as the people they were reforming from. And some quotes... "Whoever shall maintain that wrong...

    And to Ananias, a supposed brother in the Lord, Peter claims that satan filled his heart to do a mischievous thing.... 1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part...

    The Devil in Church People

    I believe the ego is the evidence of evil and a true man of God is meek.... Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. - Numbers 12:3 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? - 1 Corinthians 5:6

    I worked with her uncle. Her uncle was a deacon of a Baptist church, fun, a friend, a good singer, etc. He used to sing, “What a Friend we have in Jesus” while we would work and it would be a blessing to listen to. But... He was terribly adulterous and a flirt. This seems all to be in the family...

    Are you trying to threaten my salvation?

    “And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord.” I miss the old WW2 generation and believe the current generation is all about living in the flesh. Most churches have Sunday only services. Revival and quality Christian conference are incredibly rare these days. 7 And...

    Midweek Service

    Few churches have midweek services these days. It is nice to go to church on a weeknight and worship as a congregation and then have some kind of class for a half hour or so.
