Preach the Word

2/28/2009

 
Preach the Word; be instant in season,

with all longsuffering and doctrine.

2/22/2009

 
I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed
and go thy way into thine house. 
Mark 2:11


I've been looking at the story of the paralyzed men which can be found in the 2nd chapter of Mark's gospel. In the story, four of this man's friends, in the act of concern and desperation, took it upon themselves to carry him to Jesus so that, hopefully, he could be healed...

America: False Hope?

2/5/2009

 
And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon
his head the name of blasphemy. 
Revelation 13:1


I do not want to sound pessimistic, but could it be that America may be on the cusp of riding a false hope that will ultimately lead us to ruin, rather than to prosperity?

House Upon the Rock

2/1/2009

 
Today I was given permission by my Chaplain to share an approximately ten minute exhortation with the church. So I read the passage from Luke's gospel account on Jesus' parable about the two men who built their houses (Luke 6:46-49)...
