Are you a Heretic?

Are you a Heretic?

A few weeks ago I received an email from an internet reader who asked if I was a heretic. At first I got offended, but then I remembered what Charles Haun taught me, we cannot be offended if there is no offense in us. Is that not strange to know? We get offended when...
Opposing God

Opposing God

I have had a very difficult time writing this article. My heart and spirit are so full of what the Lord would have me say, but I feel I do not have the words to express my thoughts. My hope is that the Holy Spirit (as in all of our articles) can communicate my heart...
I Did Not Say To You

I Did Not Say To You

Over the past two years my back has gradually gotten worse.  Back in 2000 my 980 pound top secret safe containing 65+ years of paperwork fell on me (a wonderful story of God’s mercy, protection, and faithfulness maybe I will write about the accident) and now I have...

Keep the Feast with Sincerity

Keep the Feast with Sincerity

There is a feast, a love feast we must keep before God and man. Everything we do as Christians must be done in love not a soft, spongy love, but a strong developing love that forces change in our lives. Now please let me stop here and say from the start I do not...
To the Very End

To the Very End

The longer we walk with the Lord the more we will see our end coming into view and we will be able to see the end God has purposed and planned for our lives. Oddly enough these ends seem to be on two separate time lines, but we also have learned for us to be able to...
