He is an awesome God!

Posted on April 18, 2017 by Doug

How wonderful and awesome is our God? Read the first few chapters of Genesis and you will know just how great and powerful is our God. To think He created our entire universe just by speaking it into existence. You will note in Genesis chapter one how He said over and over “let there be” and it was so. We learn from John Chapter 1 verse 3 that it was through the Word of God that He created all things. We also learn in that chapter that Jesus is the word of God and thus can conclude that God said it and Jesus carried it out. It was through God’s word, Jesus, that all things were created!

Be Good Times Christians

Posted on April 13, 2017 by Doug

The children of Israel as a whole, as the story is told in our Old Testament, seemed to be bad times followers of God only. If you read through the period of the Judges, when they were governed by their judges before they had a king, you will see a pattern of them turning to God when times were bad and forgetting God when He blessed them, so that He in turn punished them again until they cried out to Him again. The pattern repeated itself over and over throughout all periods of their history, but can be clearly seen in the period of the Judges. Continue reading →

Death

Posted on March 20, 2017 by Doug

Do you feel you are close to death at this moment. If you do, don’t feel alone because in fact all of us, at any point in time, are close to death. It could happen to any of us at any moment through countless ways.

2017 Florida College Lectures

Posted on February 16, 2017 by Doug

Well, the 2017 edition of the Florida College Lectureship is in the books. We attended last week and found the subject of the divine pattern for marriage to be a very interesting one. I have never personally had the honor of marriage, but still find it a very important and relevant topic as it is an institution designed by God for the preservation of the family. There is no other design that man could come up with that can take the place of marriage and it is quite a sinful and godless state that we find ourselves living in modern society. The pattern of marriage is not being followed as divorce rates climb and many young couples would prefer to live together instead of making the commitment to one another that a long term marriage requires.
