Perhaps you have perceived or you entertain the notion that the entire Bible right from the book of Genesis in one way or another points to Jesus, the Christ. This starts right from the creation story in Genesis and continues on to the end of the book of Revelation. With this entire flood of information pointing at the Christ then how do we even start to understand who He is.

The church of Christ is not what it seems today. What with a lot of false preachers running the pulpits with a strong notion of self rather than the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of these false pastors and Bible teachers can be detected from the fruits they bear. Many are interested in glorifying themselves, or interested in self material and financial enrichment especially at the expense of the church members.

As we continue in this two part series of the Word of Faith nonsense. A testimony by Bob Scruggs, I want to remind us that it is by the Grace of God that we are saved and not of works (signs and wonders) that any man should boast. In part one of Word of Faith nonsense we saw what brushing shoulders with the false teachers can do and in what state of hopelessness you can be left in.

Bob Scruggs who’s been involved in the prisons ministry conducting Bible studies for quite a number of years has touched my heart over the past week or so. Bob has been kind enough to share his testimony and experiences with His life’s ministry and what God has done for Him with you all. He also touches on his encounters with the Word of Faith Movement teachers. It is really heart warming testimony presented in two parts.

It has been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… all before making a human. He made and provided what we would need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. Seeing we are such slow learners, God left us a great clue

Deception at Hand

Deception in the church may seem far fetched in this day and age, after all, aren’t there a multitude of mega preachers all over the world. Has there a time in history that the church has enjoyed the number of followers it has today? These might seem to have simple enough answers if taken from the surface. But that is not my intention to scratch the surface, mine is to dive under the surface and see what is really going on today as far as Christianity goes.

Here is a story that I found worth reading and would like to share. It is a nine part series on Kevin Kleint’s time working seven years for the Elijah List under Steve Shultz. Here Kevin talks about how his life deteriorated under the deception within this ministry. He covers his role as the webmaster, his encounter in Uganda, Todd Bentley and many more

God can never and is not limited by our thinking. He specializes in going beyond our end point. We do not see God at work because we do not give Him space to do His will. Until we stop defining and trying to calculate God and fixing Him in a box, we will not see His great power working in us.

Someone to Pour Your Life Into

Howard Hendricks, author and professor at Dallas Theological Seminary, suggests that every person should seek to have three individuals in their life: a Paul, a Barnabas, and a Timothy. A Paul is an older person who is willing to mentor you, to build into your life. Not someone who is…

Now that we all have our cups of coffee, I figured it would be nice to have something to go with it. How about a Cake? Yes, God’s cake. This is a cake mixed by the hand of an Almighty God. As you get ready to eat the cake, you sometimes find yourself wondering, “What did I do to deserve this?
