Cats, Me, and God

Last updated on: August 9, 2018 at 4:36 pm By Jack Wellman

What do I, cats, and God have in common? It’s a lot more than I thought. Under the Bus Often in my messages, I throw myself under the bus. I’m not embarrassed to tell the church and others about all the mistakes I’ve made, and the many sins I’ve had to pay for, but transparency is important to me. It shows others that the bar is not sky high to be a Christian. It’s a matter of trusting in Christ.... Read more

What Is The Role Of The Holy Spirit?

Last updated on: August 14, 2018 at 7:03 am By Jack Wellman

What is the role of the Holy Spirit? Why is the Spirit called the “Holy Spirit?” God is Holy What is the role of the Holy Spirit? First of all, the holiness of God is the only attribute that is mentioned three times in the Bible. We read Isaiah’s account of his view of the throne of God. He writes that he saw three seraphim over the throne, saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth... Read more

The Book Of Jude And The Last Days

Last updated on: August 7, 2018 at 7:26 am By Jack Wellman

The Book of Jude seems as if it’s almost written for today. Find out why. Who was Jude? Are we living in the last days? The Book of Jude is not very long (only one chapter), but its twenty-five verses have much to say about the last days, and today, it is strikingly similar to the way it was in Jude’s day. Jude is the half-brother of Jesus Christ, having the same mother but not the same father, and the... Read more

3 Potent Powers Of The Word Of God

Last updated on: August 6, 2018 at 5:01 pm By Jack Wellman

God is all-powerful (omnipotent), but the Word of God has great power in itself. Power of the Word There is potent power in the Word of God. For example, there is the power of salvation to save (Rom 1:16), and even though it’s foolish “to those who are perishing…to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Cor 1:18). We also know that “the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword,... Read more

Where Is Your Treasure? There Is Your Heart

Last updated on: July 31, 2018 at 4:32 pm By Jack Wellman

God gives us the ability to have wealth, so what will you and I do with it? What we do with it reveals where our heart is. Treasures One pastor said that you can tell where a person’s heart is, or their devotion to Christ by looking at their checkbook ledger or credit card statement, and he based this upon Jesus’ teaching where He commanded, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and...

Are Millennials The New Evangelists?

Last updated on: July 31, 2018 at 3:01 pm By Jack Wellman

Sharing the gospel with the lost is an imperative command from Jesus Christ, but for many, the Great Commission has become the great omission, but not for millennials. Doing it unto Christ Today, millennials share their faith in Christ more than any other age group in the church. For some reason, the millennials are the most passionate about sharing their faith, and it’s a denomination-wide phenomena. They share Christ more than any other generation in the church today. They are... Read more

What Is True Success

Last updated on: July 30, 2018 at 12:31 pm By Jack Wellman

God does want us to be successful, but what God’s idea of success as opposed to the worlds? Worldly Success As far as the world is concerned, success is the achievement of a social status, completing a goal, reaching an objective, or achieving a specific action, but God see success differently than we do because it’s radically different than the way the world sees it.

Is Confidence in Salvation Biblical?

Last updated on: July 24, 2018 at 5:41 pm By Jack Wellman

Is there a fine line between having confidence in one’s salvation and presuming on the grace of God? Trampling on the Blood When the author of Hebrews (Paul?) wrote about how “Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses” (Heb 10:28), he places that against the rejection of Christ, writing, “How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the...

How Mephibosheth Typifies Our Salvation Experience

Last updated on: July 23, 2018 at 5:29 pm By Jack Wellman

The way King David treated Mephibosheth, the late King Saul’s grandson, is a picture of God’s saving grace given to every believer. Grace and Disgrace After Samuel the Prophet anointed Saul as king of Israel, it wasn’t long before Saul was filled with jealousy and saw David as a threat to him and his throne, so King Saul turned against David, a man who would have done anything for him. As a result, David spent years running for his life... Read more
