Think on these things (Philippians 4:8-9)
My pondering on scriptures aside from my devotionals.
Some men try to lock God’s power in a box, deducing that God is incapable of allowing man’s freewill to exist and work alongside His sovereignty. However, the Bible teaches that God has the power to save while man has the power to believe. This is easily seen by looking …
Legalism is a misused and abused term thrown out by those who are convicted by God’s legal system, His law, His Word. Etymology of Legalism goes back to the mid 1800’s about the time the word fundamentalist was surfacing as we know it today. Legalism was used in disdain to …
How can we not be disheartened when we look at the options at the polls in November? Easily, by going to the Bible. Remember that it is God who raises up kings (Daniel 2:21), and He reminded His Church that He voted Pharaoh into office (Romans 9:17), a man who …
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 …
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, …

Since Calvinists have a different definition and doctrine for born again, atonement, grace, faith, free will, sovereignty, etc., how are they any different then JW’s or Catholics who we adamantly oppose because they have redefined terms in salvation? I call JW and Catholic doctrines heresy, and Calvinism as well, because …
Thinking about the 4th of July… The Roman Empire tried to defeat the known world and failed, and today there are no Little Roman Empires. The same with the Babylonian Empire, Persian Empire, Greece, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, etc., but none of these left the world with little empires. Then came …
THIS WEEK IS PENTECOST, AND IT IS NOT PENTECOSTAL A great thing God conceived on this day was the CHURCH, commissioned to lead people to Heaven (Matthew 28:18-20) A worst thing the Devil conceived from this day was the CHARISMATICS, commissioned to deceive (2 Corinthians 11:3-4; Galatians 1:7-8)
