And If The Dead Rise Not – by

Jack Kinsella “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” (1st Corinthians 15:51-53) Throughout the New Testament, the word translated as ‘mystery’ comes from the Greek’musterion’ which literally means ‘secret’ or ‘hidden thing’.

How Great Thou Art!

Dr. Mike Murphy It amazes me how the things we see around us can often bring our mind to a different place.  Sometimes it takes us back to a precious memory in our life. Others times it point out to us a situation we need to deal with today.  And other times it stills us, allowing the Lord to speak to us, reminding us that He is there.

Escape From the Fallen Planet

Pete Garcia Growing up, I used to listen to a Christian pop-rock band called ‘Crumbacher’, who released an album in the mid-80‘s called ‘Escape from the Fallen Planet’. It was a little campy, full of keyboard riffs and cheesy 80‘s outfits, but looking back on it, I’ve grown quite fond of the concept of it as in regards to the Rapture. So, it’s not that I’m a fan of escapism, but of one day being reconciled to my Creator and becoming what I was intended to become. Not a tent of flesh, prone to sin and the fallenness of this …

The Holy Spirit: Filling the Believer

When we refuse to submit to the Holy Spirit in every area of our life, we limit His work in and through us. Ephesians 5:15-2115 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 …
