The chapter of Matthew 24 is one of the most misunderstood chapters in the Bible. Most believe that this chapter has to do with our wars, day and age however this is not the case. In fact Billy Graham use to say, Matthew 24 is knocking at your door. When trying to understand scripture you must be careful how you apply the message. Trying to make everything in the Bible to fit to these days and times will surely get you into trouble.
Will Islam Rule?
Khaled Mashal, leader of the Hamas movement which won the Palestinian elections in January 2006 gave a speech in Damascus which was broadcast on al-Jazeera TV on February 3rd 2006. He told the European nations to apologise to Islam because: Tomorrow, our nation will sit on the throne of the world. This is not a figment of the imagination, but a fact. Tomorrow we will lead the world, Allah willing. Apologize today, before remorse will do you no good. Our nation is moving forwards, and it is in your interest to respect a victorious nation. His speech went on to say that the first phase of the Islamic world conquest would be the elimination of Israel and the defeat of the West in Iraq.
Mini Skirts To Church?
Have you noticed that many of the new churches today allow their congregation to wear pretty much what ever they want to church? Even some of the pastors wear Hawaiian shirts instead of suits and ties. Some members might arrive wearing jeans with holes in them and flip-flops. Others might be sporting t-shirts with that have controversial statements on them. Would Jesus approve?
I used to attend this church back in my hometown that had an unspoken dress code that didnt al…
Will the Real Antichrist Please Stand Up?
Most of the world believes there is going be some end time battle of Armageddon where the Antichrist will be defeated. I hate to say it but society has been lied to again. Most of the people who are preaching this stuff are preachers who are trying to scare folks to death and the end result is sending in money. Folks feel they should send in more money so these end time doomsayers so they can get the message out to the rest of the world. They are playing on the fears and the goodness of other people. I am here to tell you today that just like there is no boogie man, there is no antichrist.
Muhammad Cartoon & Free Speech
The uproar over the recently republished Muhammad cartoons has many in the Muslim community in an uproar. Is this a fair response or should free speech be protected at all costs?
Worship When Youre Down
Sometimes we feel as if we have no energy to worship God. We are bombarded with work, families, sickness, stress, bills, etc every single day. When do we have time to read the Bible let alone worship God?
Prayer Is The Best Thing!
Prayer definitely works and is still working today as it did thousands of years ago. There are many that have experienced it’s power.
Just when you wonder when are things going to get better…prayer gets answered! And most of the time it will be better results than what you imagined! A powerful true experience of what prayer can do for those who have faith in it and in God.
I was really getting to the point of utter frustration involving the numerous business ventures …
Prevailing prayer
It was September 1957, four young men began to pray regularly in a little school near Kells, Ireland. They persevered and prevailed in prayer, so someone was converted in January the next year. Following that, there was about one conversion every week. Twelve months later they had a weekly gathering of around fifty people at their meeting, and around a hundred other small prayer groups had sprung up in the area! This is prevailing prayer.
Does God Exist?
Many people say they don’t believe in God but what they may mean is that they don’t believe in organised religion.
Organised religion poses a very limited version of God.
At the heart of most religious life is still worship, rather than love for one another in day to day life. Why would God care so much about being worshipped and thanked all the time? Does he have such a big ego?
America Youve had it Made Too Long
One thing about history is that in spite of the warnings about repeating it if we dont learn from it is that it always repeats itself. It isnt history that needs watching as much as the human heart. Nothing much changes in human nature. Those riding the crest of the wave are usually found having a party while those caught in the crash of the wave are gasping for air and fighting for life.
Dont Hold A Grudge Against Me!
We all need to be cautious and not make quick judgements! The thing that really bothers me is being accused of something I didnt do and having that person hold a grudge against me. You know the feeling helpless! Or you might think that somebody intentionally did something to hurt you, and you want to accuse or judge them based on your feelings.
As a child, some of my friends secretly poked fun at the other kids in the neighborhood walking down the street and I told them …
Am I Just a Freak of Nature?
My parents were not much into going to church but my paternal grandparents dragged my four brothers and I into church whenever possible. I went to Sunday School and sat through countless sermons all the while wishing I were out playing baseball or doing something fun. I had better things to do on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings then attending church services. Thinking back, I am glad I did attend. Some of it did sink in. A seed was planted.
