Do You Have Any Demons on Your Back?

Mary Winkler - A Model Pastor's Wife?

We all know that pastors are not perfect. Like politicians with Watergate and the Vietnam War, the Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Baker scandals opened our eyes to the failures of preachers and pastors.

So Who Are Those That Are Going To Be Left Out Of The Gate Of The New Jerusalem?

Revelation 22:14-15 (New King James Version) 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

Have We Lost Sight of Our Proposed Principles?

Over 200 years, which is a mere wisp in time, I can't help but wonder if our forefathers who founded this country's freedom are rolling over in their graves. The very things they left England for and set up a new America, one nation under God, has all but been removed. We are no longer one nation under God, in fact, we are a nation where God's name is becoming offensive. As what started out to be a Christian nation, Christians are being persecuted and ridiculed for their faith. It's everyone else who has the right to practice their religions. God and the very mention of His Almighty name has become a stumbling block and as a result, our society as Americans are beginning to trip and fall. Does the younger generation even know the proposed principles that our country was founded upon? Who will tell them?

First communion is usually preceded by the baptismal sacraments, if the individual has not been baptized as a child.

The Divinity and Humanity of the Messiah

The idea of the Messiah is so closely tied to the Jewish people that any study on the divinity and humanity of the One who comes in the flesh from them (Romans 9:5) is incomplete and is destined to have flaws. This article will survey key Scriptures that address but not necessarily advocate these views; discuss salient opinions from recent and ancient theologians; and summarize the importance of this topic for the Body of Messiah today.
