Me and My Big Mouth!
28 June 2008During World War II the government realized that the majority of citizen-soldiers had no idea on how to conduct themselves to prevent inadvertent disclosure of important information to the enemy. Central to maintaining national security was the Office of War Information Drive to limit talk about the war in both public and private arenas […]
JOHN TETZEL “SCARING THE HELL” OUT OF CHRISTIANS
25 May 2008Johann Tetzel “Scaring The Hell” Out Of Christians”
by Doug Krieger
GRACE FOR SALE THROUGH INDULGENCES
“It happened in 1517 that a Dominican monk named Johann Tetzel, a braggart, caused a great stir. Maximilian once sentenced him to drowning in the River Inn - presumably because of his great virtue - but Duke Frederick rescued him in Innsbruck […]
Joy of Forgiveness
14 May 2008There is a tremendous joy in being forgiven - in being
guilt-free, shame-free and have no self-condemnation. In order
to experience the joy of the Lord in its fullness, we need to
practice living in consciousness of divine forgiveness.
“The kingdom of God is… righteousness and peace and joy in the
Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).
I would encourage you […]
When Will I Reap My Financial Harvest
11 April 2008Everything we sow has its own specific season for reaping its
harvest. God has a time set in concrete for all harvesting. We
cannot change God’s set time for the harvest of any seed we sow.
We can not arbitrarily plant a seed and tell God to “hurry up my
harvest.” Your particular seed has a specific “season” to […]
The Temple of God
25 March 20081 Corinthians 6:19 tells us our bodies are God’s temple. Not
only did He create our bodies, but he also dwells in them
through his Holy Spirit. Based on that knowledge, how should we
treat our bodies?
God created humans to be mind, body, and spirit. We, just as
God, consist of three parts. Well-known Christian speaker and
writer Joe […]
The Archippus Admonition
18 March 2008Colossians 4:17 has always been a curious verse to me. Paul has
just finished his letter to the church in Colosse. Among the
greetings that are customary at the end of his letters, he
throws in what almost appears to be an afterthought: “Tell
Archippus: ‘See to it that you complete the work you have
received in the Lord.’”
The Bible […]
Moslem America
8 March 2008Moslem AmericaPart 1.Aljazira, is the propaganda machine in the Middle East and now we have been introduced to the Bridges network in the United States. Bridges was developed to bridge the gap between Moslems and Americans, or so they say. The Moslem religion is based on Mohamed and not on Christ. They reject Jesus as […]
A Pastor’s Dirty Little Secret
6 March 2008In the past 14 years I’ve rubbed shoulders with more ministers
than I can remember. I’ve talked with ministers of large
churches, small churches, and every size in between. I’ve hung
out with black ministers, Hispanic ministers, Episcopal
ministers, Republican ministers, and yes, to my shame, even
ministers who are Yankee fans. You name ‘em, I’ve probably
picked up their lunch […]
Panentheism: God is Within Us
14 February 2008Author Mark Link tells the story of a little girl who was standing next to a well with her grandfather. As they lowered a bucket down into the well for a drink of water, the little girl asked her grandfather where God lived. In answer to her question, her grandfather picked her up and held […]
Bible Study Basics
11 February 2008Putting the cart before the horse! This common trait, paradoxically, is human nature both at its best and worst. We are good at taking that “leap of faith” and making great strides towards a goal. Yet consistantly we ignore sound planning and preparation - two things what would virtually guarantee our success. Such is man!
