Matthew 12:30: "He that is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."This pithy saying by Jesus clarifies the position into which the Pharisees have put themselves. It divides humanity simply into only two groups; there is no middle ground. With these solemn words Jesus draws the line of cleavage between himself and his enemies then and now. ...
Keep ReadingWe have reached a tipping point in America where most of its citizens believe that our strength is in, and our trust should be in big government. We believe that government somehow has the unlimited capacity that only God possesses. When people reject the Lordship of Christ's rule, they place their hope in an earthly ruler whom they expect to satisfy their wants. The peo...

Keep ReadingHebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment" Having reached the ripe old age of 75, I have begun to think more seriously and frequently about my mortality and the two appointments that I will soon be keeping (hopeful not real soon!).

The day the children of Israel left their homes in Egypt was tru...
