"I talked too loud, I used the wrong bait, I reeled in too soon, and I caught more fish than he did." for more laughs... |

Shut Up and March
While in Bible College many years ago I was fortunate enough to be selected for the Chorale. It was a big thing to make the Chorale. We were to go on a two-week tour during the summer break. It was the highlight of our summer. I don't know why, but recently one of the songs we sang during that summer tour has been on my mind. I can't remember much of the song except the main line of the chorus, which was also the title of the song. It was called, "Shut up and March". The theme of the song centers around the idea that talk can only do so much good. There is a time to quit talking and a time to get on with the business at hand. I frequently tell my employees, "A little less chatter and a little more clatter, please." I think you get the idea. for full newsletter article.... |

The Charismatic “Smackdown” "Do you want the real power of the Holy Spirit? Then don’t pretend by pushing people to the floor when you pray." I love it when the Holy Spirit shows up in church gatherings. Whenever sinners are converted, backsliders repent, bodies are healed or self-centered believers are broken by God, we see evidence of the Spirit’s work. But I don’t appreciate it when people fabricate spiritual manifestations to prove God is using them. A few years ago a popular charismatic preacher spoke at a meeting I attended at a church in Orlando, Fla. After his message he asked all ordained ministers to run to the platform so he could lay hands on them. Immediately this man’s team of beefy bodyguards began grabbing people, dragging them onto the stage and holding them in place until the evangelist could pray for everyone. for full story.... |

Decisional Regeneration; Fact or Fiction? Do I believe what is currently being labeled "decisional regeneration" by some critics of the same, a valid portrayal of the truth? Well, yes and no. Yes, because people who become regenerate by the Holy Spirit make decisions to let Christ win at what he came to do, which is be their Lord and Savior. Upon hearing and believing the gospel of Jesus Christ, a new principle is born in the heart; a desire to follow Christ, and because of this people will make decisions to obey. Yes, they will make decisions that will be the beginning of a lifetime of "decisions for Christ", because true repentance is not a one time, "been there done that" transaction, but an ongoing sign of spiritual life in the believer. Praise the Lord for decisions for Christ made by people who have believed and received Him, who were born "not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:13). for full story.... |

Is Bible Prophecy Important Today? Many Christians today do not study Bible prophecy, thinking that all they need to do is believe in Christ Jesus and they will be fine. But I want to show in this article how important Bible prophecy is to us today, and why we should be studying it to find out the truth about last day events, and the deceptions that Satan has in store for the world. |

Your Solution Is Not As Big As Your Problem
Problems. If you're going to work with or minister to people, you are going to have problems. Sometimes big problems. Moses was one person in the scripture who had people problems. Millions of them. Everywhere he looked - people problems. How to feed them. How to water their livestock. How to settle their petty problems. How to settle their big problems. Where do the tents go? How about the toilets. Everywhere problems. Surely with all these problems, the solution must be complex. Big problems should mean big, intricate, thoroughly researched and analyzed solutions - right? Not necessarily. In fact, very often, the solution to one's problem is asymmetric to the problem itself. Big problem, small solution. for full newsletter article..... |
