Would You Say Its Time To Move?

Battle for The Lost…..
Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen something? Have you ever used God’s name in vain? Have you ever lusted in your heart? These are just a few of the questions that we must ask ourselves on a daily basis to help us keep our focus on the grand prize of Heaven. The great commission is very clear when Jesus tells us to go out and make disciples of nations. He wants us to go out and bring His people to Him. So why is it that people run to hell as if it were heaven, and run from heaven as it were hell it’s self? The greatest trick that the devil has ever pulled is making people believe that he does not exist. 2Timothy 2:4 says “No one serving as a sold

If You Truly Love Me, Then Feed My Sheep
Do you love me? Three times Jesus, after rising again, asked the loaded question to His loyal protégé and three times Peter answered; "Yes, you know I do." I'm sure Peter's heart shivered each time his devotion was challenged. I can imagine his previous denial rocketed to the front of his thoughts each time the question echoed into the hollows of his soul, and now he had to convince Jesus of his love. However, like most of us, Peter was missing the point. Jesus was not looking for affirmation from one of the ones he had chosen, nor was He even looking for answers. Jesus was looking for something that could not be expressed by words but rather had to be expressed throu

What Does It Mean to Repent?
It means to first acknowledge our sin before God, then to make the decision to turn away from that sin. Scripture is clear that those who are saved will have the desire to obey God, and will try to put to death their sin nature. While we will always have sin, In our Christian lives we will grow and mature, and sin less and less as we learn to crucify our sin nature and to live a life pleasing to God. It is possible to do this, and to reach a level of maturity in faith where we learn to commit  less sin. How do we do this? There are two keys. The first is 2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against t

Are You Sheep or Shepherd?
Paul tells us in Acts 20:28-31 28Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God,which he bought with his own blood. 29I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31So be on your guard! It is easy these days to get side tracked and distracted from the main goal in our lives of worshiping God. We hear explanations for all sorts of sinful things. Whether it be drugs, steeling, homosexuality, the

Rebel With a Cause….
So we say that we want to be different, be individuals, we hate having to conform to the establishment, and we want to stick out. We wear the clothes that makes up part of who we are, we cut and color our hair to show that we are different from others, and we strive to be remembered as who we are. Well, I have news for you. We are doing what God wants us to do. Romans 12:2 says “2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” We have all heard the term before of rebel with out a cause. It is somethi
