WHY SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS ARE A CULT
Many questions arise today concerning the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Some consider them to be fellow Evangelical Christians and others consider them to be so far out as to be a cult. What are the facts concerning Seventh-day Adventism?

Read MoreEaster or Resurrection Sunday?
While Easter festivities are now observed by Christian groups around the world, the irrefutable fact is that the observance is entirely without Biblical precedence, and in truth owes its origins to pagan worship of the ancient goddess Astarte and her counterpart in Teutonic mythology, the Greek goddess of spring, Eostre, who pagans lavished with hedonistic worship in a festival named after her that was held each year on the vernal equinox, March 21st, in hopes of evincing her favor with the beneficences of a warm and bright springtime after enduring the bleaknesses of a long, cold and dreary winter. Many of the festivities associated with Easter today, such as “Easter Egg Hunts” and the “Easter Bunny,” which have no connection whatever to the resurrection of Christ, and are carry-overs from the pagan festivals. Eggs and rabbits, for obvious reasons, have long been symbols of fertility and reproduction in paganism and mythology.
Read MoreThe Pulpit is Responsible!
We need a renewed hunger for God’s will in our lives. The need for courageous and persevering leadership is needed more today than ever before. We live in a world of global challenges and seeming uncertainties. The faith of many has been shaken, causing disillusionments, disappointments and discouragements. Their vision of hope and faith is blurred so they are distracted from God’s intended destination (destiny) for their lives. WE NEED VOICES OF TRUTH with a timely and critical message that reminds us of the proper foundations and order of faith, as well as equips us to fight the good fight of faith. We have plenty of preachers and politicians who are oratorically gifted, yet many lack the character and substance to go with it. We are not in need of more opinions and ideas by theorists, but those who will lead us in the paths of truth and great expectations that only comes from a hope beyond ourselves.
Read MoreAmazing Dual Gifts From God!
In the intent of God, the “Gospel of the Kingdom” is the only gospel; ageless, unchanged, eternally the same. Any lessor gospel is insubordination to the Kingdom. The purpose of the Holy Spirit’s anointing is to empower redeemed men and women with Kingdom authority to preach that gospel with all its original, miraculous manifestations. The authentic gospel is therefore an extension of Kingdom power through the human voice.
Read MoreIs The Devil Really Defeated? Well, Yes and No!
To many people, including many who claim to be Christians or believers in Christ, the matter of the existence and operations of the devil on earth are either basically an unknown or a spiritual conundrum. That is understandable, given the fact that unbiblical or in some cases, antibiblical, preaching and teaching on the matter is ubiquitous, even in the context of self-purported Christian churches. The central theory of that biblically-incorrect teaching to varying degrees is the somewhat misleading assertion: “Jesus defeated the devil on the Cross of Calvary.” While that statement and the set of teachings it represents bears some truth, it nevertheless is not “the whole truth and nothing but the truth!” Rather, it is actually partial truth.

Christ–who Himself is TRUTH–is the only Source of true freedom! No man can give you freedom, and therefore no man can take it away. Truth is a per-SON–God the Son, Jesus. Jesus said, Jesus said to him, “I AM the way, and the TRUTH, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6); “If the SON therefore shall make you free, ye shall be FREE indeed” (John 8:36); and, “If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” (John 8:31-32).
Read MoreI’m Dreaming of A RIGHT Christmas
A pastor worked in his study all through Christmas Eve preparing for the Christmas morning service. Being very tired he dozed off and dreamt of a world to which the Savior had never come. In his dream he was looking around his home but there were no Christmas decorations, no candles or Christmas wreaths. He walked into his study and thumbed through his library but found no books about Jesus, and the Bible he found ended at Malachi. He noticed that the last words of the Bible were: “Lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
