I usually strive to keep this light an fun, but my goodness, this is just too ironic to ignore, which makes it light and fun! Most people have heard of 666 before, although they may not know what it’s all about. In the book of Revelation (the last book of the Bible), 666 is identified [...]
There is only one resurrection, and it’s Yours! That’s probably going to piss the Christians off as much as the new agers and eastern guys. But what can I do about that!?! Life IS Singular. God doesn’t know of your little dream of death. The paradox will be that He has given you His Holy [...]
I have always loved acoustic guitar music, especially if the artist knows the intricacies of complex melodic harmonies. Phil Keaggy is one of the top guitarists in the world, and has recorded over fifty albums. He’s a musical genius who is unbelievably humble. I was blessed to watch an interview with him today and it made me remember why I love music. It also made my spirit soar to hear him say, I was 100% musician, and then when I was born again, I belonged to Jesus before I belonged to my guitar. I feel, you can have Jesus without music and have peace. Conversely, if your music is without the Lord, your life, in my opinion, goes nowhere. Talking specifically about his instrumental albums, he said, I’ve done a couple instrumental albums. One is still waiting in the wings, and this one, The Song Within. It has a lot of flavors of the Master and the Musician. There’s a thread that’s been woven throughout all the years, a melodic thread, and I think it comes from the same heart
O Lover to the Uttermost,May I read the meltings of thy heart to mein the manger of thy birthin the garden of thy agony,in the cross of thy suffering,in the tomb of thy resurrection,in the heaven of thy intercession.Bold in this thought I defy my adversary,tread down his temptations,resist his scheming,renounce the world,am valiant for truth.Deepen in me a sense of my holy relationship to thee,as spiritual Bridegroom,as Jehovah's Fellow,as sinners' Friend.I think of thy glory and my vileness,thy majesty and my meanness,thy beauty and my deformity,thy purity and my filth,thy righteousness and my iniquity.Thou hast loved me everlastingly, unchangeably, may I love thee as I am loved;Thou hast given thyself for me, may I give myself to thee;Thou hast died for me, may I live to thee,in every moment of my time,in every movement of my mind,in every pulse of my heart.May I never dally with the world and its allurements,but walk by thy side,listen to thy voice,be clothed with thy graces,and ado
John Owen (1616 - 1683) was an English theologian and "was without doubt not only the greatest theologian of the English Puritan movement but also one of the greatest European Reformed theologians of his day, and quite possibly possessed the finest theological mind that England ever produced" ("Owen, John", in Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals, p. 494)Dr. John Owen (Vice Chancellor - Oxford)FOR WHOM DID CHRIST DIE?The Father imposed His wrath due unto, and the Son underwent punishment for either:1) All the sins of all men;2) All the sins of some men; or3) Some of the sins of all men.In which case it may be said:1) If the last be true all men have some sins to answer for, and so none are saved;2) That if the second be true, then Christ, in their stead suffered for all the sins of the elect in the whole world, and this is the truth;3) But if the first is the case, why are not all men free from the punishment due unto their sins? You answer, Because of unbelief. I ask, Is this unbel

The entry of Republican Alan Keyes into the presidential race is highly clarifying in matters of church, state, and Christ. Back in 2004, Alan Keyes provided us with the insight that “Christ would not vote for Barack Obama”. Certainly the Son of God wouldn’t just have thrown his vote away on a write-in [...]

Jesus loves everyone a whole lot (duh), but don't you think he'd be just a tiny bit disappointed looking at these dudes body paint themselves before the retreat's big volleyball game. He'd be all "Wow guys...great effort....green and black huh? Not really my favorite colors but how were you to know....hmmmm...Oh look, you even sort of made a weird T-shirt looking thing out of shoe polish.... Well done guys....I really appreciate it."

Mary & Joseph were filled with wonder as the Holy people of Nazareth spoke of great things of Jesus.
Luke 2: 34. 35
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;(yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also;) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
The Prophetess Anna who served God with prayers and fastings day and night immediately knew that Jesus was The Son of God.
Luke 2: 38
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem
Life of Christ
It was written that Jesus would be born in the land of Juda. Herod sends the wiseman to find Jesus in Bethlehem and he claims his intentions are to know where Jesus is exactly so he may eventually come to worship Him.
Matthew 2:11
And when they (the wiseman) came into the house they saw the young child with Mary His mother and fell down and worshipped Him.
In a dream God warns the wiseman not to return to Herod so they depart another way. An Angel of The Lord appears to Joseph in a dream warning him to take his family to Egypt away from Herod.
Matthew 2:15
And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying Out of Egypt have I called My Son.

Gabriel visited a virgin who was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph. The arch angel, Gabriel came to Mary and said, “You are highly beloved; the Lord is with you.” Mary was afraid. The angel said, “Do not be afraid.” You are going to have a Son and call His name Jesus.” “How can this be?” Mary said. “I am a virgin.” Gabriel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you. The Holy Son of God will be born.” “For nothing is impossible with God.”

700 years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah prophesied the coming of the Messiah . The great prophet gave an account on how the messiah will save us from our iniquities.
