The first three words of Exodus 17:8 is by no means cheery, “Then came Amalek.” They were written just after God’s people had been refreshed from the water at the smitten rock. Yesterday for me was a day spent with the Smitten Rock (Jesus Christ). He and I accomplished many tasks. But just about 10:30 […]

Once upon a time I was given the directive to “escape to the mountain” by God. Now this mountain he directed me to was in full-time Christian service. First as a Missionary then to Pastor. Little did I know then that God would; 1. get me to the mountain, 2. get me up the mountain,
Luke 15:11-32, I will not type the whole passage, but the synopsis is the story of the prodigal son. Several months ago, the Holy Spirit had me read this passage at the beginning of a trial period in my faith. At that time, I was shown something that would get me through the trial. It

NOTE: This post was written in 2010. At the fifteen-year delivered mark, I thought it was appropriate to remember my journey’s commencement. The Adversary is still trailing behind hoping I will return. Right now, my faith is being tested. It’s been a year since I turned from the homosexual lifestyle and ran towards the Savior.
John 15:7-8, “If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.” In a world of Netflix and whatever innuendo you prefer to use, Christ

It’s very true as when the Church (Both big “C” and little “c”) does become equipped through the Holy Spirit to minister to those

Too many of today’s churches, in the United States and even the rest of the World, are starving. By this I mean that the preacher sent from God to feed the congregation is not supplying the necessary food to strengthen and sustain the Believers. Born-again Christians need more than just the sincere milk of the
Friday, July 24, 2009. That was the day I was told it happened. My 180 degrees. True I had repented from my sin and turned many months ago, but that was the day the Heavenly Father had me realize that the 180 degrees was complete. The 180 degrees turned from a life of homosexuality and
Psalm 92:13-14, “They are planted in the house of the LORD; they flourish in the courts of our God. They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green.” I’ve never been through a 12-step program, but I understand the concept as I have attended Celebrate Recovery and been in

My dear brother in the Lord Tychicus, we have not met but one day we will at home in Heaven. I want to thank you while I am still on Earth before that meeting. Thank you for carrying the letter from Paul to Ephesus (and Colossians as well). I’m not certain whether Paul meant that
