A Consuming Fire





Deuteronomy 4: 24, “For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”




Wildfires sweep across plains and through great forests devouring everything in sight. Man-made or God-made, all that is in the path of the fire catches fire and burns up: trees, animals, plants, humans, houses…the fire consumes it all leaving nothing but ashes in its path.



Hebrews 12: 29, “For our God is a consuming fire.”



God is love and He wants me to… Continue

Repent...and Keep On Repenting

What is biblical repentance? It’s hardly ever addressed in our pulpits so most of us don’t even know.



Repentance is not despair over having been caught doing something that I shouldn’t have been doing; it’s not being regretful that since I got caught there is now a price to pay; it’s not disappointment over the discomfort or inconvenience the consequences of my sin is now having on my life.



Genuine biblical repentance is measuring my sin against God’s holiness and being… Continue

Judgment: The Moments Of Eternity

(I realize that this is but a poor description of hell. It is not meant to be representative of reality but is, rather, meant to make you think. No words can adequately describe the torture that awaits those who make it there. Those who have spurned God–who heard the Word and yet rejected it–who spent their lives willingly engaging in sin–will spend eternity in hell, wishing that they hadn’t refused to come to Him in obedience. Unfortunately there are many in the church who believe that they… Continue

Abusing Grace

The church in America, as a whole, is more interested in fitting into the world than converting the world. We have become cowards. Those who stand up and declare God‘s ways will find themselves at odds with the very ones who should be supporting them.



The church is failing to live up to all of its holy potential and take hold of all of the spiritual blessings available to her because we are failing to do three things: study God’s Word with an eye towards doing His will, pray that… Continue

Breaking The Heart Of Jesus

The modern Western church desperately needs to remember the message of the cross: that Jesus was not only crucified by men but that He was crushed by His Father. We’ve forgotten that our salvation was something so costly that only God could plan it and make it happen. We’ve acted as if God owes us something; we’ve lived as if He needs us! We’ve forgotten that He is the Everlasting Almighty God Who is and always was complete in Himself and that He has need of nothing for in Him everything exists… Continue

How Long Shall God's Mercy Endure?

In Genesis 3: 15, God said to Satan, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”



Enmity: deep seated dislike, hatred, hostility or the quality of being an enemy.





Being in a state of enmity with God is deadly serious. If we choose to love the things of the world, we are choosing to hate the things of God. I John 2: 16 states, “For all that is in the world, the lust of… Continue

Remembering The Cross

What comes to mind when you think about the death of Jesus on the cross?



Do you think about His suffering? His abandonment by His Father?



Do you think about the repeated beatings? Do you think about the whipping that He endured?



Do you recoil from the nails that pierced His hands and His feet?



Do you shutter at His pain?



Does the gross injustice of it all make you weep? Do you ache at the love that it took for the perfect, sinless, Son of… Continue

Miscarriage: A Note To Husbands

If your wife has suffered a miscarriage, you may be at a total loss as what to do or say. It is important that you don’t feel that it is necessary to make everything all better; you can’t make everything all better. Your wife has suffered a devastating loss and she is grieving. She needs time to process her grief. In the meantime, she needs you to just be there: hold her, listen to her, cry with her, ache for her. This was a child and your wife needs you to validate its very brief… Continue

Sin makes men cowards

1 Sin makes men cowards. Whatever difficulties the righteous meet in the way of duty, they are not daunted. 2. National sins disturb the public repose. 3. If needy persons get opportunities of oppressing, their extortion will be more severe than that of the more wealthy. 4. Wicked people strengthen one another in wicked ways. 5. If a man seeks the Lord, it is a good sign that he understands much, and it is a good means of understanding more. 6. An honest, godly, poor man, is better than a… Continue

18 I can guarantee this truth: When you were young, you would get ready to go where you wanted. But when you're old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will get you ready to take you where you don't want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to show by what kind of death Peter would bring glory to God. After saying this, Jesus told… Continue

HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

A REAL GOOD FRIEND OF MINE, SENT ME THIS....



Hebrews 10:10 (NLT) And what God wants is for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time.



1 Peter 1:16 (NLT) For he himself has said, "You must be holy because I am holy."



Holiness and righteousness is the absence of sin. Since we all have sinned we must undo our sins.



1 John 1:9 (NKJV) 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to… Continue

MY MOTHER MARY

"SOUL WINNER"





The Bible says in Proverbs 11:30



"The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he (or she) that winneth souls is wise."



Those two words alone could describe my Mother Mary Lanham. She found the Lord at the age of thirty and her first convert was her father just before he died and she never stopped winning souls!



I want to take Mothers Name Mary letter by letter to describe who My Mother Mary the soul winner… Continue

Hear HIs Call

Broken and scard beyond repair,I did not hear His call telling me not to fear,for I am here through it all.

Crying out in my dispair still yet I did not hear,His call telling me I am not alone:I am still here and I have been here through it all.

In the darkest hour of shame and dispair,I cried out is any one there?

And suddenly did it appear a light into my darkness.

A gentle hand upon my cheek,a soft voice did speak;as my Father said,did you not hear my call dear child? I… Continue

I Read The Bill

by Tom Wacaster





I have listened with great interest and concern to the “pros” and “cons” of the impending health bill that has been drawn up by the House of Representatives. Few, if any, of our representatives have actually read the bill in its entirety. In contrast a growing number of concerned… Continue
