A PROGRESSIVE SALVATION

A Christian’s salvation is truly progressive and at once already perfected.  We have been saved, we are being saved and we shall be saved, but we presently live and walk as though our salvation is already complete, for that which has been promised of God is as good as finished.

THE HELL CARD

If I were to draft a statement that would encapsulate the American Christian witness procedure – which statement far too often reveals our entire concept of Christianity – it would of necessity read:

Election ’92 was a decision for money over morals.  We received exactly what we voted for, and, while we were counting our money, our morality slipped into the past.  Never mind.  Monetary might, military muscle, and political power really don’t need the moral mind.

Election 2000 was soon followed by Violation 911; which violation clearly revealed the vulnerability of

WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION

A group of rich men were speaking together about their fortunes over coffee one morning.  After a while, one of the men proposed that there was only one honest way to make a million dollars.  With one voice the group

THE MARRIAGE MIRROR

The marriage of two dissimilar woods was conceived in the heart and performed by the hand of the Craftsman.  He would choose them carefully and then join them in such complimenting way that the two should become one inseparable wood.  Then, time and effort would

SEPARATED

When Abram departed Haran he allowed Lot to accompany him to Canaan, an act of disobedience to the Word of the Lord.

Gen 12:1

1          Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Gen 12:4

WHERE TWO WAYS MET

PALM SUNDAY 2016

Mark 11:4

4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

Two ways have met in peace today.  They met in the donkey at Bethphage where the way of a procrastinating Priesthood
