And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming; even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them a strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasures

March 15, 2016What Does the Church Mean to You (Me)
March 15, 2016Focus thought: Laying hold on the blessings designed for the church [13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? [14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art

March 15, 2016Reflection on the life of a notable Apostle, Judas Iscariot. He was called and ordained an apostle by the Lord himself. (Mark 3:13-14). He was a preacher and one who had power to heal all manner of sicknesses and diseases (Mark 3:14-15: Matthew 10:1-4). Judas was in the company of Jesus for approximately 3.5 years. He witnessed miracles untold during this time. He was there when Jesus stopped the funeral procession at the gate of the city and returned that dead man to his weeping widowed mother (Luke 7:12-18) and he was also there at Jairus’ house when

September 9, 2009The question that many are finding very difficult to answer is whether or not the “Kingdom of Heaven” is the same as the “Kingdom of God”. This is not so difficult if we follow Apostolic hermeneutics and proper Exegesis. I will be presenting the Bible position on this in a pointed format. I do not think much discussion is necessary and that the scriptures cited should be more than enough to prove to any one of a rational mind what the truth is. I will purposely omit the Greek etymological study, but will quickly say that the Greek
