Several years ago I was reading about Bishop Taylor Smith, (1860-1938). He was an Anglican bishop and military chaplain in the British Army. I admire his dedication to the service of mankind. I do not remember where I first heard of him, but he was a very interesting person of the Gospel. He had theContinue reading “Quite Time”

Are You A Christian Or Disciple?
What is a Christian? Is there a difference between a Christian or Believer, and a Disciple? Which one are you? At times I am both. If given the choice I would be a disciple. Today I want to show you that we should strive to be both. The most important thing for a disciple wouldContinue reading “Are You A Christian Or Disciple?”
What About Church?
There is much discussion on the internet about the need for us to go to “Church”. They say there is no “Lone Ranger Christianity”. To these statements I say poppycock! No lone ranger? What about this pompous person called “Pastor”? The New Testament makes it very plain that there are to be Elders (more thanContinue reading “What About Church?”
Do Christians Lie, Continued
Last week I laid the groundwork for the definition of a lie according to Mr. Webster and the Bible. This week I want to explore some lies that men of God tell that are not OK, and I believe are very damaging to the Church. Not only according to the Word of God, but inContinue reading “Do Christians Lie, Continued”

Not Forsaking Assembly?
I can only find this statement once in the New Testament, Hebrews 10:25. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, and so much the more as you see the day approaching”. What day? The day of our Lords return to take us home. What is Paul saying to theContinue reading “Not Forsaking Assembly?”
Like A Flood?
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. This scripture is part of Isaiah 59:19, and the question is about the placement of the comma. If you remove it from the behind the word flood, and put it behind the word in.Continue reading “Like A Flood?”
Love Of Money
All our problems that we have, local, state, and nation, result from the love of money the grasping for more. Never being satisfied with what we have. When you love something, you want to be around it all the time. You put all your energy into pursuing it, as it becomes the object of yourContinue reading “Love Of Money”
Put On-Put Off
I remember watching a movie years ago called Karate Kid. In this movie Mr. Miyagi taught his student how to wax on, wax off. We all thought this was funny. But it was designed to develop muscle memory and discipline. Now all these years later and I still remember his words. What does this haveContinue reading “Put On-Put Off”
Ask Amiss?
What in the world does this mean? Why do we always read the King James Version? Why are we so in love with this outdated translation from the 1600s? Questions that need to be answered. We are so programed by the “Church” to read this outdated version. Not that anything is wrong with it asContinue reading “Ask Amiss?”
