Dying "Sound" Churches - Sept 23
A great many of the churches that are still sound in the Bible, music, etc., are dying, and a major reason is that evangelism has fallen into neglect in so many churches. There is still a bit of evangelism going on, but there is no great vision, no leadership, no zeal, no passion, no proper organization, little to no prayer for the most important business of the church, which is gospel preaching..

The History of Slavery - Sept 22
Slavery has been practiced since the fall of man. It is not a product of “racism”; it is not an issue of skin color; it is a product of man’s sinful heart. The Lord Jesus Christ described man’s condition with perfect accuracy and uncovered the fundamental issue:
“And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man” (Mark 7:20-23).
When men believed the devil’s lie and chose sin over God, they became slaves, slaves not only to sin but slaves physically. History is filled with the sad accounts of men being enslaved by their fellow men and treated as mere cattle, from the slaves under the brutal whips of ancient pharaoh to the serfs of 17th century Europe to the dirt poor classes..

The Democrats Are Trying to Destroy the Nation Again - Sept 16
I am not a political person, meaning that I am not involved in politics, beyond voting, because I know that politics can’t solve the fundamental problems of a nation, and I have more important things to do with my short life. Politics is dirty, manipulative, compromising business at best. The vast majority of politicians don’t even know what the fundamental issues are.
Preaching the gospel and building New Testament churches are far more important endeavors than political activity. These address a nation’s spirituald.. Read More
