Think on these things (Philippians 4:8-9)
I was asked by a few people whether or not I would endorse an event sponsored by a church to be a replacement for Halloween, like a light show or trunk-or-treat. My quick answer without hesitation was an absolute “no.” For me, shrouding the unrighteousness of the god of this …
It is a known fact that Halloween is a celebration of the god of this world. It is based in sin, deception, fear, demons, etc. Is God pleased with His children participating or is this a grey area? 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is still true today. Read the entire chapter and …
Jesus said, “he that reapeth receiveth wages” (John 4:35-39). These words speak of reaping the souls of men out of the harvest field through soulwinning. Paul calls these “wages” “rewards” as he implores us to reap by faithfully preaching the Gospel. Paul said, “woe is unto me, if I preach …
Western North Carolina is a pin head on the landscape of the entire world. Just a couple days of extremely heavy rain and winds, and this area looks worse than a war zone. Homes are completely splintered, roads are ripped up, bridges are washed out, building after building are demolished, …
Watching the aftermath of Hurricane Helene is heartbreaking. Our sending church in Shelby, NC was without power and had water damage.

Those who live with anticipation understand the importance of preparation, in all areas of life. This was evident when I messaged a pastor in America this week and he replied that he was stacking 2 cords firewood. This reminded me that we are in different hemispheres — while we are …
Our mission in soulwinning is to go out to find souls that are heading to hell, then do something about it. As we go out, every aspect of soulwinning is needed: Bible, prayer, Holy Spirit. Yet, you can have all of these and still miss the one most important key …
This past week we remembered the heroes of 9/11, those citizens, soldiers and rescue workers who put their lives on the line without hesitation. Of almost 3,000 who died on 9/11, over 400 were first-responders. As our hearts and lives are deeply and forever touched, we may ask ourselves, “What …
Last week we saw that Hell is real, and only Satan wants man to go there. Hell was designed for Satan and his fallen angels, yet it continues expanding itself as men are dropped into eternal doom. (Matt. 25:41; Isa. 5:14) James 2:19 says, “Thou believest that there is one …
