Is Black History Important?

Posted in Uncategorized on February 21, 2008 | 40 Comments »

Through my wonderful journey since the Lord Jesus Christ drug(John 6:44) me to Himself I have been pushed further away from ministering to a certain type of people simply based on their race.  I see many people who get excited when we get the “First Black Person” to do this or to do that and we [...]

Hey We Found One of Your Sheep in a Ditch! “Oh Was He Mine?”

Posted in Current Issues, Ecclesiology, Reformed Perspective, Theology Applied on February 20, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Posted in Christian Living, Current Issues, Theology Applied on February 18, 2008 | 42 Comments »

Every once and awhile I like to write something provocative.

Law, Gospel or Both? Part II of a Christian being under the Law!

 Just say you are driving along in the desert and you are 350 miles from the closet gas station. The temperature is running around 125 degrees and you have a full tank of gas. All of a sudden an 18 wheeler carrying 10 Lamborghini pulls up next to you flags you down and you stop. He [...]

But There are Friendlies in the Vicinity……………… An Honest Assessment of A Good Purpose Gone Bad!!!

Posted in Christian Living, Site Updates on February 5, 2008 | 17 Comments »
