Is New Apostolic Governance a Myth?

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

Charged to Deny His Name

So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

Narcigesis in the Red Sea

The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.

Jonathan Edwards.  July 8, 1723. Hands down, one of the few resolutions I have completed in the time established happened at the end of…

Faith and Life Lessons in 2021

While reflecting on personal growth this year and things that have taken place in life, I am coming away with joy in the Lord while being challenged in the midst of my weaknesses to press on and to set my eyes on Jesus Christ.

Confess with Your Mouth Jesus Is Lord

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Acts 2:36 ESV “I didn’t make Jesus my Lord. If you make Him your Lord that means you’re Lord because you told your Lord what to do. You acknowledge Lordship. You don’t bequeath Lordship.” Voddie Baucham In a matter of fifty-five seconds, another layer of the proverbial onion was being peeled. I listened to this sermon…

Reign with Christ, Hold the Suffering

Reign with Christ, Hold the Suffering

The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 ESV The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer…
