Finding True Happiness: Part One
1 Timothy 6:3 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmising, 5 Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is ...
Jews Must Build The Temple Or Lose Their Homes!
"Remember O Lord what is come upon us. Behold, see our reproach. Our inheritance is turned unto strangers, our houses unto aliens.... Men said among the nations: They shall no more sojourn here." How long before we realize that as long as GOD'S inheritance is trampled by Nazi-Muslims, the holy site of HIS House lies in ruins and militant foreign mosques pollute and pervert its holy purpose, nobody's home in Israel is safe from harm?
Past Life: Wanting To Know Who I Was In My Past Life?
Past Life: Wanting to know who I was in my Past Life? Before we tread into the domain of Past Life... we need to understand the present and the future carefully. Before indulging in our Past Life we also need to know the purpose of life journey as a whole. Starting from the beginning... in the chronological order as the evolution took place... we shall find that we started the journey as an Amoeba (single cell formation)... this was the first manifestation which occurred in the life of every ...
Plans And Preparations
People all over the world are making preparations Some are making plans for wedding celebrations Some are making plans to move to a new location And some are making plans for a special vacation
Contemplation
One of the aids to meditation is Contemplation. Osho Rajneesh in one of his books tells the story of contemplation regarding the Buddha. It is a famous story and very meaningful. The Buddha was born a prince and he was so brought up that he had no conception of the suffering that exists in this world. His father arranged it so that he should not know that in life people fall sick, that they grow and old and that they die. The father wanted the Buddha to never meet anybody old or sick, to ...
Religious Scouting Club
Have you ever heard of a religious scouting club? Probably many of us have heard of scouting clubs such as boy scouts, girl scouts and cub scouts. But would you believe that there is a religious scouting club? The Pathfinder Club is a religously oriented scouting club that belongs of a christian denomination. This club has grown to be a worldwide group not just in the US but including in Asia, Middle East, Europe, Africa, Australia, and the North and South America. In the US alone, this club ...
Americans Need A Savior Not Another Guru
The late Jeanne Dixon appeared at the now removed Rivergate Auditorium in New Orleans. A friend of mine went to hear her speak and returned with one of the most unusual reports I have ever heard. My friend wasn’t merely critical about what Mrs. Dixon said but rather, how she said it.
Heads I Win, Tails You Lose
In a time when public scrutiny is becoming tighter and more pervasive businesses have learned that they need to be on guard more than ever to ensure they are operating by ethical standards. Though not often mentioned in this discussion, I believe it is especially true of Christian organizations in whom trust is placed by donors. The old adage “heads I win, tails you lose” has a particular bite on this that says ouch. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be.
Fatumania

I hurried to eat my first 'destiny meal' of the day. I dashed out to my 'destiny club' in my 'destiny car'. At the club,I discussed with fellow members on how we could set up a 'destiny bank'. Who am I?" Solution:- "A fatumaniac!" The above ...
Religion: S/he's Wrong, I'm Right
Religion is supposed to be a good thing, right? Yet how much has gone wrong because of it? Too much, that's all. Here we're going to examine effective strategies for minimizing the problems and animosity that may arise from two people who share different belief systems, especially if the two form a couple. Religion is so touchy because even though everyone thinks they're right, no one can prove them wrong. The trick is in finding some common ground, using some respect and ...
The Rejection Of America
"...one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice, for all." I can recall the days of my youth when I would be required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, "religiously," in elementary school. Back then it seemed like a formative nuisance - just one of those things that was part of the school day. I am not saying that I totally despised reciting the pledge. I just accepted the fact that every morning at the beginning of the school day, the entire school, as a unit, recited the ...
Cases Of Bibles From South Carolina
Hey, sorry I haven't responded until now...I have been to South Carolina. A friend of mine is there (we used to do ministry work together..he'd sing and I would preach), and he called me to come get some Bibles. He is renovating a big hotel, and he found several cases of unused Gideon Bibles. I got him to sing a few songs, "Crank Up the Music, Let's Have Church", and "Soul Filin' Station". We had a wonderful visit and prayer time, I came back and have already given away three ...
Expect Persecution For Speaking The Plain Truth!
Why was Jesus crucified? Because His Gospel was highly politicized. It had EVERYTHING to do with GOVERNMENT! God's people would do well to note that fact. His enemies accused Him of sedition. They distorted His Message to make it appear He was out to overthrow the government! (Jn. 19:12). They led the rulers to believe Jesus was a dangerous individual, a real threat to public order and national security (Jn. 11:48). Jesus had to be stopped! Both the political and religious authorities ...
The Magnificent Power Of Giving
You've probably heard of the popular saying "It's better to give than to receive." But do you actually know what hidden power lies within this magnanimous act known as "giving?"

God's Favorite Religion
What does your church teach regarding the subject of Widows and Orphans? If we were all being honest, most of us rarely give the matter a second thought. If your ministry, company, or even your civic group is struggling, or you're lacking contentment in your own spiritual life, here's a tip that's guaranteed to send any lackluster routine into hyperspace. Interested?
The Woman Issue
The following message entitled THE WOMAN ISSUE is a study for those who truly desire to examine what Scripture says on a very controversial subject: the role of women in the Church. This would make a great bible study or forward the message to church leadership. We will be using The Law of Scriptural Interpretation: every Scripture must be interpreted in light of other Scriptures on the same subject; it must harmonize with all other verses used as we compare spiritual with spiritual, (1 ...
A Commonsense Guide to Exorcism
Bloodshot eyes stared at the crucifix six inches from his nose. Leather restraints lined with lamb’s wool fastened his arms and legs to the chair. The demon-possessed man lunged at the hand holding the holy symbol. Gnashing teeth struggled to bite the outstretched wrist.
Pomes II
Here are a few pomes that may encourage you to read your Bible. I hope you enjoy these pomes, and I pray that it bring light into your life. Remember, all praise and glory go to the Lord Jesus and his Father God.
The Divine Throne Chariot
The following fragment was found in Qumran along with the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls believed to be from the sect known as the Essenes. J. Strugnell made this particular translation in 1960, under the title The Angelic Liturgy at Qumran. The words in parentheses are assumed to be what was intended, as the manuscript was in very poor condition.
The Big Bang Theory Evidence Start of Cosmos and Human Evolution
What is The Big Bang Theory! What do we mean when we talk of The Big Bang Theory? In Concept The Big Bang Theory would mean something related to the start of the Cosmos... the beginning of the Evolution itself.

Praying Church or Playing Church?
The western church is seen by the world as anything BUT Christian. We are making no one jealous for what we claim we've found in Christ. Independent and proud of it, our only chance is of winning this "holy war" is to declare our DEPENDENCE upon God. See, our problem is not our weak leaders or our demoralization. It's not Hollywood or Harry Potter.
Truth, Justice and the American Way to Boil a Frog
Using a good tool over and over doesn’t make it any less valuable it only proves its usefulness. That said; let’s review the old boiling frog story one more time. A frog accidentally jumps into a pan of water recently placed on the stove. He is comfy and does not try to jump out of the pan. As the water starts to heat up he just enjoys the warmth and as frogs are able to do, he changes the temperature of his blood to match the water temperature. (Don’t try this at home, it only works for ...
The Rapture of the Church
The Rapture of the Church will be the most startling event to happen in all of human history. Millions will disappear in "the twinkling of an eye." Great confusion and bewilderment will occupy the minds of those left behind. Many explanations for the disappearance of those missing will be entertained. In the meantime the Church will have been "caught up" in the air to appear before the Lord at the "judgment seat of Christ" (2 Cor. 5:10). This will be a judgment of rewards based on the ...
The Judgment Seat of Christ
The thought of a public examination before the Judgment bar of our Lord should be incentive enough to awaken even the most slumbering saint of God. Yet few, if any, ever give it a second thought. Paul declared, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Rom. 14:12). Perhaps if the doctrine of judgment and reward were expounded more from our pulpits there would be more attention given to living a life of holiness and obedience. Think of it. How will you stand in that ...
Tea totalling Texans?
Alcohol consumption and the Church I live in a small Texas town which is probably not all that different from a small town anywhere else. Lately, much has been reported by the local media and debated at city council meetings regarding liquor licensing. When ever these types of issues are discussed, some self-appointed Christian representatives will speak up, supposedly on behalf of all the rest of us, and heatedly expound upon the awful vice of drinking alcohol and what a ...
Speaking of Speaking in Tongues
A young bible college student once wrote and told me how the college she attends has been teaching that "speaking in tongues" is the sole evidence that one is filled with the Spirit and that no one WAS filled with the Spirit UNLESS they've spoken in tongues. Apparently, that didn't sit well with her and she wanted my opinion.
Churchless Christianity: A Move of God?
There's another "move of God" that's sweeping the nations. Have you noticed? Very few of those I've spoken with actually have. There are others who don't necessarily view it as being a literal "movement" because it's not quite as defined as they like. Not to mention those who don't particularly approve of God "moving" in this direction. But as one British minister said to me several years ago, addressing all the controversies revolving around every new thing God has ...
Jesus Was a Hippie
Actually he was more appropriately called a Cynic, but that kind of free-thinking humanist is indeed kin to being a Hippie. The Cynics were a school of thought or religious approach to intellectual understanding which many more modern hippies seem to emulate.
