There is nothing new about evil. It has been in the world from the beginning of Creation. Since Adam and Eve fell in the garden of Eden there has been evil in the hearts of humankind. We are a fallen race. We are born into the world separated from God; and our hearts are evil. …

A Change of Mind
Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee within Judaism. He hated Christ and Christianity; and did all that was in his power to exterminate what he considered to be a heretic bunch of deceived people. From the moment of Stephen's martyr's death by stoning (Acts 7:54-60), Saul was determined to exterminate this group of people. However, …
Released to Preach and Teach
There are a few people I know who have jail, and prison ministries. They do it because they believe God has called them to go to the places where men and women are incarcerated for crimes against God and humanity. Yet, these minister to the men and women who are willing to listen to the …
After His Passion
We human beings can be passionate about many things. Sports for some is a passion. Love is a passion for others, maybe all of us at some point in our lives. Hunting, fishing, boating, are other passions some have. What was the "Passion" of Jesus? It was the cross of His death. To obey His …
Life Through His Name
There are many things people place as important, and top priority. Parents today place their children as top priority; sometimes even above the relationship between husband and wife - mother and father - and that many times causes breakup in the home.

Loving Jesus; the Son of God
What does it mean to love Jesus; the Son of God? How does one show love for Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God? Do you desire fellowship with God? Jesus is asked by Judas, who is not Iscariot the betrayer, but a different Judas; "Lord, how is it that you will manifest Yourself …

Hearing God’s Words
First on the matter of "hearing". For some people; as we get older; the hearing starts to fade away. First it is certain tones and such, then sometimes gradually the rest of it fades, and sounds get more difficult to hear, and detect differences in sounds. Some people today just refuse to hear. Especially the …
Division
No, we are not dealing with a mathematics problem. We are going to deal with the division that is still present concerning the matter of Jesus. "Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ …
Jesus Knows
Humanity; all of us, can be so excited about a person, event, or miraculous happening one moment, and the next turn our hearts and mind against it. I believe that is called "fickleness". There were some people in Jesus's day who wanted to make Him King when they heard Him teach and saw His miracles …
