What were the sequence of events that occurred on that Holy Week almost 2000 years ago? Church tradition says that Jesus was crucified on Friday, and rose on Sunday morning, but this is highly improbable since Jesus said that He… Read More ›

Fighting For the Soul of a Nation
Is it time to win back our nation, to take it back for God? Is this the mission and the purpose of God’s people in our age?
Get it Straight! It’s Not Just About Heaven!
Jesus didn’t come to tell everybody the Good News that we can go to heaven when we die. He came to declare that the Kingdom of God, or as Matthew calls it the Kingdom of Heaven, has come to this earth.
Is God Really With Us?
At His birth the angels proclaimed, “Peace on earth, goodwill to men.” But that was so long ago! Where is the promised peace and goodwill to all?
Another One Bites the Dust!
One thing that was becoming obvious, even then, to many in the Kingdom of God, was that the traditional church system was not a scriptural model, and was already suffering from increasing corruption, and had become a top heavy hierarchical monstrosity that would not survive if it was part of a business.

I assert that modern day clergy do not understand these basic truths. If they did, they would not try to stifle ordinary believers from performing the priestly duties that God gave them to do.
Has the Church Lost Its Way?
In light of all the worldwide changes in recent years, is the Church able to be effective in carrying out its mission? Can we collectively learn to think on our feet, or more properly, respond to the leading of the Holy Spirit, in order to respond appropriately to the many issues that are arising in the world to challenge the authority of God? I want to suggest to you that all this is possible if we understand where we are headed and what we are to do.
