Last updated on: August 14, 2016 at 10:27 pm By Jim Erwin

Genesis 14:17-24 Giving and God’s Blessing We live in a nation known for the freedom that it offers. We have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, and others. However, the one freedom that very few Americans are experiencing today is the freedom from debt. Americans are drowning in a sea of debt. Many have become slaves to the lenders in today’s economy.

Unchurching by Richard Jacobson

Last updated on: August 13, 2016 at 9:49 pm By Jim Erwin

Unchurching by Richard Jacobson Unchurching by Richard Jacobson defines the purpose of the book with the subtitle: “Christianity without Churchanity.” He opens with the appropriate quote from Richard Halverson, former chaplain of the United States Senate (10): In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centering on the living Christ. Then the church moved to Greece, where it became a philosophy. Then it moved to Rome, where it became an institution. Next, it moved to Europe,... Read more

Revelation 14:1-5 Jesus and His 144,000

Last updated on: August 9, 2016 at 9:11 pm By Jim Erwin

Revelation 14:1-5 Jesus and His 144,000 Earlier, in Revelation 7, the Bible showed us who the 144,000 were and their purpose. When we look at the 144,000 in these verses in Revelation 14, we see that the Bible is describing their character and behavior. As we have said in Revelation 7, there are two main views. The first is a literal view – that these are 144,000 Jewish evangelists. As Warren Wiersbe notes: This special group of Jewish men was... Read more

A Thankful Heart

A Thankful Heart July 21, 2016 Year C Psalm 138:1-8 Evangelist Dr. Michael Guido of Sower Ministries and author of “A Seed for the Sower,” once mentioned the importance of expressing thanksgiving in praise. he states: Paganism has its prayers, but not any praise. It has teaching, but not any thanksgiving. Sometimes unthinking Christians express no thanksgiving. But praising, like praying, should be a habit.1 David’s habit of praise, in this case, came from a thankful heart. How can I express a... Read more
