But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy […]

American Jericho
The debate on abortion has started raging again with the new law in New York stoking the fires, as if Christians should ever remain silent on the issue. But ever since Roe vs Wade legalized the murdering of children decades ago, it seems that the popular, national Christian voice has always been about picketing, writing […]
Don’t Let The Devil Tell You How To Be A Christian
We live in an age where everyone is considered a “Christian.” You can claim to be a Christian without reading the Bible, knowing the Lord, or accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior. You can be a “Christian” today and yet have no fruit whatsoever to prove that out. Then those who call themself […]
If You Don’t Move The Mountain, It Won’t Move
I continually hear the theme about God moving mountains for people in music. The only problem is the Bible never talks about God moving mountains for us. It talks about us moving them. There’s other songs that talk about God fighting the battle for you. But God isn’t fighting a battle for you. God is […]
Being More Noble
These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. – Acts 17:11 The Apostle Paul said that the believers in Berea were more fair-minded (the KJV says ‘more noble’) because they 1.) received the […]
Is God Good?

The Lies We Believe
What would happen if I would go to your school or your work and start telling everyone that you were a liar? I’d tell them that you lied to me, my family, your friends, your family. I’d tell them that you lied about this and that, big and small. And I would do this day […]
Stay Focused
When I was a kid, I would play volleyball with my neighbor’s grandkids. My neighbor was an elderly woman and every now and then her grandkids would come over and we would play volleyball across the fence. The fence that separated our yards was the kind with the jagged spikes on the top. I’m not […]
The Devil’s Haunted House
Haunted Houses are big at this time of year. People like to be scared. But there’s real fears out there that go beyond monsters and all the things associated with Halloween. There’s fear of failure, fear of the future, fear of classmates. The list can go on and on. These fears have their root in […]
Have You Stopped Praying?
Well, the election is over and the prayers of the saints have seen Donald Trump elected as the next President. I do have to wonder though, if all the churches and Christians have stopped praying. I don’t mean that in a bad way or to attack anyone. However, the church has a good history of […]
