2 PETER 3:3-4
“Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.

“Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding,” 2 Peter 1:20 NLT Where does the scripture come from, that Peter would have such tenacity towards its claims?

1 JOHN 5:18
“We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.” 1 John 5:18 NIV Christian’s who allow for sin to take root in their lives are not people of faith. This is John’s conclusion. These areContinue reading “1 JOHN 5:18”
1 JOHN 4:1-3
“Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be aContinue reading “1 JOHN 4:1-3”

AN EASTER LETTER FOR THE DISTANCED CHURCH / APRIL 12th, 2020
To the Body at Aletheia. In times past, the church has forgotten who it is. It has often mistaken function for identity and forsaken the privilege of open worship for the convenience of choice of worship. But in times such as this where the trials of the day shape tomorrow’s every day, the church hasContinue reading “AN EASTER LETTER FOR THE DISTANCED CHURCH / APRIL 12th, 2020”
ABF’S ROLE IN GATHERING MISFITS
I believe that each local body reflects the need of the day. If a town is very poor, than God brings a body to that town to alleviate the need of the poor. One might say that the situation, at large, is what necessitates a local body. This is consistent with how Paul planted andContinue reading “ABF’S ROLE IN GATHERING MISFITS”
ON SOLIDARITY IN THE BODY
This is something I have had to learn as well. My heart has been broken more than a few times by those I considered to be fellow soldiers with me. In the beginning of my adult ministry, I had never seen people come and go. When people started to leave, it was very difficult. EspeciallyContinue reading “ON SOLIDARITY IN THE BODY”
ON GOD’S WRATH
The vindication and justice for those who have truly followed God is in his hands. That is the absolute best place it can be in. Can you imagine having the red nuke button at your disposal? I’m so thankful that I do not bear the weight of choosing what someone deserves. The reality is thatContinue reading “ON GOD’S WRATH”
ON POLARIZATION OF THE CHURCH
Yes, I believe that the Polarization process of “separating the wheat from the tares” into an Apostate church and the true believers is accelerated. I think this is mostly due to technology. It connects us. Now more than ever, a hive mind has begun to emerge and a war is taking place that is noContinue reading “ON POLARIZATION OF THE CHURCH”
