Any discussion of what the church should do must include worship. Throughout both the Old and New Testaments, God’s people are called to minister to God in worship. “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9).
Something fascinating about Revelation Chapters 4 and 5 is the focus that is placed upon the grand and central activity of heaven: WORSHIP The 24 elders worship God, and the Bible tells us that they “fall down before Him who is seated on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever”, the 4 […]
One must be careful not to take a single verse of scripture out of context. Obviously, the person has good intentions of using it to uplift another, but it is our responsibility to properly interpret and apply scripture. Verses can be misused even without bad intent, so we must be careful. 2 Timothy 2:15 (NET) […]
The Bible tells us in 1 Samuel 13:14 that David was “a man after God’s own heart”, yet he sinned against God; he broke The Law. Recorded history reveals that King David broke “Thou Shalt Not Kill” and “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” out of selfishness, out of the lust of his flesh. Perhaps most […]
There is one true God. In the beginning the Trinity—The Father, The Word, and Holy Spirit—was and is; they are eternal. Three persons, but ONE true God.

Tell the Truth to Each Other “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20. An Ambassador represents a king, a leader in word and truth confidently for Him. In Word and Truth: There is a current […]
Joel is commanding the leaders to call for a fast which is a sacred assembly, a gathering designed for prayer and repentance, for crying out to God for His mercy. Joel presents a vivid picture of the consequences of sin and shows us how to respond with true repentance. The kind of repentance that leads to holiness is not merely an outward show, but an inward, sincere, heartrending brokenness over sin. When sin occurs corporately, as it did in Israel, God calls upon leaders to gather the people in a solemn assembly in which they fast, pray, and cry out for His mercy and forgiveness. As we see sin in the church and in the nation, we would do well to heed Joel’s exhortations and cry out to God corporately for our generation. Fasting and prayer are meant to seek God’s answer for difficult situations.
