Almighty God is our Authority and High Power. He established the government and appointed our founding fathers to write our country's laws ... based on Christian values. Our allegiance is first and foremost to God. Lord, in the face of all adversity, keep us united, free and strong. Romans 13:1-2 - "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth th

Are you living in a ‘nowhere town’, full of sin, guilt and sorrow? There’s always a story in a nowhere town. But there is more to life and you know it! Are you searching, yearning for that ‘somewhere town’ where there’s redemption, freedom and joy? Today’s song lyrics: Life ain’t easy in a nowhere town. The sun comes up and goes back down; days pass by without a sound. There’s always a story in a nowhere town; hoping glory days come back around. A long time ago, this was sacr

The little nursery rhyme song, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” has a worldly story behind it. Most of us are familiar with the song and have sung it to our children. The Bible tells a true story about The Lamb of God (and He isn't so little ... He's KING size!) The next time you hear or sing the nursery rhyme song, remember the True Lamb Who gave His life for all of humanity so that we could live and sing in heaven with Him for evermore! Matthew 1:20b-21 – “... Joseph, thou son of D

Christ-followers have two natures: the new nature=after being saved (spiritual), and the old nature= before salvation (physical, worldly). Both natures are present constantly; the nature you feed the most controls you. With that in mind … if you’re doubting or fearful about something, why? You’ve got the Holy Spirit living inside you! The God Who says He will never leave nor forsake you has everything under control. So quit listening to that old nature, wasting time worrying

Almighty God is our Authority and High Power. He established the government and appointed our founding fathers to write our country's laws ... based on Christian values.

When you leave this earth, how will you be remembered? Will your life have made a difference? More importantly, will your life have made a difference for JESUS? Has your life reflected His Word? Have you shared the gospel message with those you’ve encountered along the way? Friend, that is what this life is all about. It's not about your good deeds ... good deeds are nice but they don't get you to heaven. It’s not about us, it’s about JESUS. How are you spending the dash betw

Were you raised knowing Jesus and in a good church family? If so, what a blessing! Some folks have never heard the name of Jesus or stepped inside of a church building, and therefore do not know about His saving grace. Maybe your Mama read the Bible to you? maybe your Dad? maybe nobody at all. But His Word is available everywhere in the U.S., it is powerful, it is Living and able to save your soul! God made us in His image and wants us to conform NOT to this world, but to Him

When you hear the word “church”, what comes to mind? Is it the place people go to, mostly on Sunday mornings, to gather in the name of the Lord? The Bible says God’s “church” is the Body of Christ … God’s people … the spiritually-saved sons and daughters. “Church” is NOT a building ... but we can gather at the church’s building. “Church” is our brothers and sisters in Christ, all over the world. Unfortunately, in America today, the local church often assembles for the social

Many people today do not understand the significance of God’s Word. There are numerous “versions” of so-called bibles, but there is only one Word of God (Holy Bible) that has been preserved for the English-speaking people. It was taken from the Textus Receptus manuscripts and is perfect, pure (purified seven times) and prophetic; it has been settled in heaven for ever. God warns against adding to or taking away from His Words because changing just one little letter can change

Don’t let the world fool you into thinking we are not a Christian nation! Inscripted on the Senate Chamber entrance are the words “Annuit Coeptis” (Latin for “God has favored our undertakings.”) The east side of the Washington Monument capstone has the Latin phrase Laus Deo, which means "Praise be to God", and the cornerstone includes a Holy Bible. President Lincoln’s second inaugural address mentioned God 14 times and quotes the Bible twice; he also noted that the Civil War

Everybody makes mistakes … everybody needs God’s grace. Whether you admit it or not, we all need Jesus! If we could see things the way God does, it would change everything. Confusion and chaos consume us each day, but His wisdom is greater, His mercy is endless and He’s just a prayer away. We all fall short of His glory … we all need Jesus! Romans 3:23 - “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” James 3:14-18 – “But if ye have bitter envying and strife in you

What a mess! Do things seem dark, as if they could never be restored? Ah, but let me tell you about my Jesus! From the ruins, He plants seeds among the ashes. He rebuilds, restores, redeems … there’s nothing He cannot do. We must never lose hope … that’s what the devil wants! he wants us to think he’s taken over and there’s no turning back. Lies! satan’s good at deceiving; don’t believe him. Jesus will make beauty from the ashes. Get up, get moving, start praising and don’t q

IF the Lord’s the Lord of a friend or family member, it is comforting to know you will be with them here and for ever after in Heaven. 1Thessalonians 4:17 - "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." As stated in the scripture above, the song ‘Friends’ by Michael W Smith says it well. “ … And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the Lord of them And a frie

Do you ever feel as if there’s no one you can trust or tell your innermost thoughts to? Someone who will listen and understand, and be there for you unconditionally? Do you ever feel so broken that your life is beyond repair? Friend, feeling alone or broken is a gift! It is when we are lonely and broken that we more easily recognize the need for a Saviour to make us whole. He knows us inside and out; He is trustworthy and everything about our lives matter to Him! Matthew 23:1

Today’s message is a salute to couples who have been married and stayed married. Despite over a 50% divorce rate in the U.S. (churches included) today, there are those who have been faithful and remained together for “better or worse”. Marriage is a covenant not only between a man and a woman, but also with God … a marital trinity ... Marriage Takes Three. When you say, “I do”, you’re promising God that you will be faithful to your spouse as well as to Him. God created us in

Today, many people will be celebrating “Halloween”, a U.S. tradition with a variety of historical accounts as to why and how it came to be celebrated. Some folks prefer not to celebrate Halloween at all, thinking it is not Christ-like to dress up as a ghoul and take candy from others; or that the holiday has satanic intent with the fake blood, gravestones and spooky costumes of creatures and spirits. However, like anything in this world, Halloween can be what we make of it. T

Even before our physical birth, God has a plan for our life. He created each of us with a purpose. Almighty God knows our past, present and future and gives us free will along life’s highway. He knows we are all imperfect and that somewhere along the way we’ll take wrong turns. When we do, instead of staying on the dead-end road, we need to call on Him to get us back to the straight path. Philippians 3:13-14 -“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thi

The Bible tells us that God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours. He is all-knowing, all-powerful and always present. He is spiritual; we are physical. Whether you’re a Christ-follower or not, God is still God and always in control. Rest assured that whatever happens in this life, God’s got it! Question is, do you have Him? Are you a Christ-follower? Have you received Jesus as Saviour? Isaiah 55:8-9 – “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,

Is Jesus everything to you? Has it been awhile since you’ve read the Bible or prayed? Maybe you’re facing a trial that has brought you to your knees and you know you need help from above. Do you feel far away from Jesus? Friend, don’t be afraid to call on Him! Whether you’re a new believer or have been a Christ-follower for years, maybe you’ve drifted away from Him and need to find your way back. The truth shall make you free! (see PDF link below) Jesus wants us to abide in H

The Bible is full of God’s promises and our God keeps His promises. The lyrics say it best in today’s message … God never said He would give us silver or gold, or that we’d never feel the fire or shiver in the cold. But He did say we'd never walk through this world alone and to not make this world our home. He never said that fear wouldn't find us in the night or that loneliness was something we'd never have to fight. But He did say He'd be right there by our side and would a
