The Bigness Of God
Isaiah 40 verses 12-31 talks about the “bigness of God” by the prophet Isaiah. It can be seen in many parts of the Bible, starting with the fact that God created the world without help from anyone. Throughout the Bible, there exists no threat to God as the ruler of the universe. This is strong message our church, the Mount Bethel Baptist Church, teaches, especially to little children. Through this lesson, monsters and ghosts are…
Express Yourself!
“Be True to Yourself”
[blockquote2]Galatians 1:6-10[/blockquote2] “Be True to Yourself” One of the biggest problems I see in the Christian Church today is the fact that we don’t stand firm on what we believe to be the truth. We’ve become like Chameleon Christians, whatever the issue of today is we’ll just change our color to fit in. I am literally appalled by the number of prominent preachers, pastors and proselytes today who are circumventing the Word of God so…
Water For The Thirsty Soul
Water For The Thirsty Soul When I was twelve years old my mother and father divorced. That was a significant “life changing event” in my life. As a result, I lost interest in school, sports, and life. My grades quickly descended from A’s and B’s to D’s and F’s. For me, life had lost its value and meaning. It became visible to my geography teacher, Mr. George Formica. He noticed the drastic change in my…
The Art Of Listening Intentionally
[blockquote2]“The steps of a good man are ordered by God; and he delighteth in his way.” –Psalm 37:23[/blockquote2] The Art Of Listening Intentionally Many people can quote the above scripture by second nature. Even people who are not deeply invested in spiritual life can quote this scripture. “The steps of a good man are ordered by God!” What a statement of instruction and direction. The scripture admonishes humanity to do good in order to have…
The Church Leader (pt. 1)
The Church Leader (pt. 1) In the ever evolving world in which we live, we encounter more than we are able to process at times. Attempting to maintain a healthy balance of world affairs, the political landscape, spiritual understandings and economical systematizing is very difficult in our age, and takes dedication. Media, through most mediums, has a peculiar way of feeding the public that which it knows will further perpetuate stereotypes and galvanize the best…
Leadership Gone Awry (Excerpt)
Leadership Gone Awry (Excerpt) I believe that God is saying to leaders; those who He has called, that it’s time to start calling sin what it is --- sin! We can’t allow our hearts to overrule our Spirit until we become tolerant of sin. It really doesn’t matter what type of sin it is, the point is we need to repent of our sins and repentance is more than saying I’m sorry; it’s walking away…
Remember the Mission
Remember the Mission On a dangerous sea coast where shipwrecks often occurred, there was once a crude little lifesaving station. The station consisted of a hut, one boat, and a few devoted members whose mission was to keep a constant watch over the sea. Relinquishing personal considerations they tirelessly went out day and night searching for the lost. Many lives were saved by this wonderful little station. Because of its great works, some of those…
