I’m irate. I’m growing very concerned, and even sick to my stomach over trends I see around me in the world of the Church. I am a 37 year old pastor who once considered himself to be moderately conservative, but am deeply concerned to know that others around me view me now as ultra conservative.… Continue reading Rant: Placating and Passifying an Adulterous Generation

Poem: The Bridge Builder
An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And… Continue reading Poem: The Bridge Builder
The Unspoken Commandments
I had an interesting observation last week while one of our ministers was teaching about the cost of discipleship. He mentioned the rich young ruler, and how he had followed the commandments, but still was lacking. I started to count the commandments Jesus listed, and it dawned on me that it was an impartial list!… Continue reading The Unspoken Commandments
Michael Jackson: Never Found Life
This is from a secular marketing blog I frequent… though it’s not “spiritual” in nature, the author unwittingly tells a very spiritual description of Jackson, his quest, and his end.

In 1984, at the height of his… Continue reading Michael Jackson: Never Found Life

Benedict said the bones, which were found inside a stone sarcophagus under… Continue reading Claim: Remains of Apostle Paul Found
Modern Day Sodom – Obama Proclaims National LGBT Pride Month
On June 1, 2009, Barack Obama made history yet again by proclaiming June as National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride month. This disgusting act of defiance against the will of the American people and against the word of God places this president in a terrifying position… and by proxy the country we live in.… Continue reading Modern Day Sodom – Obama Proclaims National LGBT Pride Month
A Brickhouse Incinerator
I was conversing with a friend recently, discussing the issue of preachers among us walking away from holiness and Apostolic doctrine. He made the statement, “Their ‘revelation’ today is building a prison that their children will inhabit tomorrow.” This statement brought to mind a sobering story heard recently. Pastor Doug White, from Silsbee, Texas was… Continue reading A Brickhouse Incinerator
1947 US Senate Prayer
“Our Father, we are beginning to understand at last that the things that are wrong with our world are the sum total of all the things that are wrong with us as individuals. Thou has made us after Thine image, and our hearts can find no rest until they rest in Thee. We are too… Continue reading 1947 US Senate Prayer
