Heaven and a Billion Dollars – by Jack Kinsella

by

The Bible has almost as much to say about heaven as it does about hell. What is heaven really like? Can we know on this side of eternity, or do we have to wait until we get our wings, cloud assignment and tub of cream cheese, first? First, how many ‘heavens’ are there? The word ‘heaven’ has three meanings in Scripture.Genesis 1:6-8 calls the atmosphere surrounding the earth ‘heaven’. Genesis 1:14-19 and Psalms 19:1 makes reference to outer space, the abode of the sun, moon and stars, as ‘heaven’. And finally, heaven is the place where God has His Throne. …

“The unsearchable riches of Christ.”—Ephesians 3:8.

by

C. H. Spurgeon “The unsearchable riches of Christ.”—Ephesians 3:8. MY Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my …

The Guest Speaker

by

Dr. Mike Murphy As many walked into the church that morning, they saw the name of a guest speaker on the announcement board. Speaking to the congregation of the large, progressive church that Sunday morning was the name of a man no one had heard of before. One they did not recognize from their television screens, from Youtube channels, or from any area of social media. And as they saw that his sermon was titled, “The Wages Of Sin”, they soon became very concerned about what they would hear from this man named J.C. Logos. As they began to hear …

Goodness Must Be Learned -by Jack Kinsella

by

One of the fundamental flaws in liberal thinking that puts it in direct opposition to Scripture is the notion that people are basically good. In this line of thinking, bad or immoral behavior is the exception, and bad or immoral people are largely the product of bad environments. The Bible teaches the exact opposite. So does experience. Bad or immoral behavior is the first behavior exhibited by babies as soon as they are old enough to express it. They have to be taught not to hit. They have to be taught not to bite. I never personally witnessed anybody teaching …

Thoughts And Prayers….

by

Dr. Mike Murphy With each passing tragedy, we watch as so many take to social media to offer their thoughts and prayers.  To give their heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who were injured, or whose life was tragically taken. To ask the Lord to bring peace to our nation, at a time when that peace seems to be at a growing distance from us.But with each recent prayer offered for the devastation we see, I hear more and more people mocking our thoughts and prayers.  Telling everyone who will listen, that their thoughts and prayers are …

Praying for a Change

by

Anything we pray for that aligns with the Father’s plan will be granted. James 5:1616 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Hanging above the door in our house, my mother’s favorite plaque constantly reminded us, “Prayer changes things.” From an early age, I witnessed this powerful truth through her example. She’d tell me about some difficulties she was facing and then have me pray about them with her. And later, she’d always be sure to give God the glory when …
