I CAN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THE NEW THEOLOGY No matter how hard I try not to find myself in a situation where I have to poke holes into what fellow Christians do, I really find myself many times feeling guilty for not rebuking what conscience tells me is wrong. I'm sorry if any Christian brother, sister or fellow finds this offensive. There seems to be an increasingly popular heresy being preached in churches and television screens which depicts God as some vindictive being waiting to torment "OUR ENEMIES ." That even His blessings to us is a means of getting back at those who we perceive as enemies. What happened to "love your enemies?" All these teachings are contrary to Biblical teaching and are a warped representation of some of the psalms of David and a failure to read the Bible in context. The Bible from Genesis to Revelation, does not exist in fragments but is a compact WORD of GOD. If you remove as little as a letter from the Bible,...

CHARACTER BEFORE PRAYER

I don't know who authored this, but it's powerful, insightful, revealing, educative and full of  knowledge and wisdom. Take time to read it.... YOU CANNOT GET BY PRAYER WHAT YOU SHOULD GET BY CHARACTER & OBEDIENCE A man’s character is his fate. Heraclitus Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States (US), said: “Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.” As a clergyman, I have watched pitiably how people self-sabotage themselves by seeking spiritual solutions to character-deficit issues. They look around at everybody as suspects for their predicaments when their greatest demons lurks within them - their character. What we often call our destiny is truly our character, and since that character can change, then destiny can be altered. Character is destiny. Is prayer actually EVERYTHING ? Many would begin to argue back and forth on this i...

PLEASING GOD OR MEN?

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. (KJV) Matthew 6:1-4 This is one passage of the bible that really gets me in a bad mood. The phrase "to do alms" is a general phrase meaning any form of givings and offerings. I dare say even tithes. Anyone who excludes tithes from doing alms or charitable giving especially in this era of money based tithing is greedy since that is trying to argue that only church leaders are capable of allocating resources in a way that enhances service to God whic...
