THE QUESTIONARE we of the day or of the night? In Part 1 we saw that being aware of the times and seasons is an indicator, and Paul gets even more specific. https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1-thessalonians/5/1-11 Road signs are a call to action and ignoring them can have serious consequences. So it is, if we ignore the “signs”…

This morning I was wondering why God wasn’t opening to me the next post that had been formulating in my spirit, but then at 10:15 I received this email from a trusted sister. ——————— Good morning, brother! It took a long time for me to wake up this morning as I was in some sort…

NOTE: This was written for Nov. 6 but I apparently didn’t post it. Sorry! IRRELEVANT SCRIPTURE?Paul couldn’t write I Thessalonians five to most “evangelical” churches today. https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1-thessalonians/5/1-11 His opening line, “Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you,” doesn’t fit us.

PORK CHOPSMy sense is that we ought to rethink how we can go about being the church. Our little Sunday evening group wouldn’t be meeting because some were away, and I was wondering what we’d do for fellowship last weekend. Sure enough, on Thursday a friend texted wondering if we’d come for supper Saturday. What…

OUR CALLINGYesterday we saw that God’s expectation of His Church is lofty, clearly stated and purpose driven. We are to showcase the superiority of the life He offers as compared to Satan’s, so that others want Him too. There’s a lot of hurting people out there who are trying everything imaginable to appease their hunger…

A MYSTERY, OR NOT?In this little series we’ll see that what constitutes the Church that Jesus intended is NOT a mystery, and why it’s not. And we’ll see that it IS a mystery, and why it is. Both are true and that’s part of the mystery. To start with, scripture is very clear about it.…

YES, JESUS IS BUILDING HIS CHURCH Yes, Jesus IS building His Church as He said He would, but many can’t see it. They’re too fixated on their worldly lifestyle and on the church as they have known it. They are not alert to what is happening in the two spirit realms, that is, that God…
