This we believe is the historical precedent of appointing deacons for the two-fold purpose of meeting real needs and to protect elders, pastors, apostles and prophets from getting diverted or distracted from daily seeking God and His will and way.

Mothers – the greatest gift by far you can ever give to your children is the knowledge of Jesus Christ – the one and only Savior and Deliverer and Liberator from the awful shackles of sin

"....we believe in these last days before Jesus returns God is going to raise up many modern day Nehemiahs (both male and female) who will hold God reverently but persistently to His word - - until every one is fulfilled for His glory."

Joseph was God’s sovereign choice out of all of the young men in Israel in that day for the earthly care and protection ... of His Son.

Principled men and women who know and walk with God and fear Him.. are powerful weapons that Satan greatly fears and God greatly delights in

One of the primary purposes of I Corinthians 14 is that we understand, appreciate the value of and use these gifts – specifically the gift of prophecy and the gift of speaking in a tongue and having it interpreted...

".... intimacy with God is not easily obtained. Many things war against it. It cannot be one of our many pursuits or hobbies - or we will find it quite illusive."

When you are born again you come immediately and supernaturally both into a relationship with the living triune God of the Universe and with His church or people. As wonderful as that is, relationship is not the end goal. Fellowship is the end goal.

One of the greatest needs you and I have in this earthly life is enlightenment - - the supernatural ability to see God as He really is; to see our lives from God’s vantage point; and to see those around us as God sees them.

There are very few events or happenings on the earth that the Living God takes more interest in than a young man and a young woman – committing themselves before God and men to marriage

Worshippers in heaven and on earth who have had to watch evil men seemingly murder at will without any repercussions will be overjoyed when our just and righteous God determines enough is enough and the time for judgment is now!

You and I cannot be appropriately responsive to the Living God who is constantly moving and speaking if we are spiritually dead. No amount of good works or religious busyness will turn this around. Our spiritual state or inner condition must be changed from outside of us.

One of the many blessings of walking in uprightness in all of our dealings with God and man is the blessing of intimacy and favor with God and the confidence that He is listening to our prayers and values our fellowship as a result of our uprightness or in response to our uprightness.

"....money can accomplish a lot of things in life, but when it comes to love it is of little use. True love just cannot be won and obtained by any amount of money. God knows… wealthy people who have been able to accomplish so much with their wealth have tried and tried in vain. Wives ultimately don’t want their husband’s things. They want their husband. "

the truth as it relates to marriage is the natural trajectory of marriage is deterioration. Without constant supernatural help from the grand designer of marriage, and without our cooperation with His help, most marriages will never become what they were meant to become. The opposition within and without the man and woman; the husband and wife is just too great.

One of the greatest mistakes young married couples make that sets them up for failure in their marriages is an inordinate focus on making money and acquiring material things (such as cars and homes) at the costly neglect of growing familiar with and confident of the spiritual blessings already bought for them by the blood of Jesus.

The Bible says we are aliens, exiles, strangers, sojourners in this world. We do not belong here. We belong with Him. Once He determines our purpose for being on this earth is accomplished, it is His prerogative to bring us to our true home.

But this soul vacuum which can only by filled by God, is very real and very dangerous because it must be filled. It knows no neutral. Jesus spoke to this once when He said, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”

One of the reasons we believe David was called a man after God’s own heart is because he so passionately sought after God even though he had all the responsibilities of presiding as King over a kingdom. “Oh God, You are my God, I shall seek You early; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,…” was his increasing passion - Psalm 63:1
