When Joy Walks Out Duty Walks In
Psalms 122:1 , Ecclesiastes 12:13 David said I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the LORD. Solomon said Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God, keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man. When joy walks out duty walks in.
The Definition of “is”
We all remember it, I’m sure… Clinton was on trial for impeachment over the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and attempted to water down what truthfully happened with the blatant redefinition of the word, “is”. It seems that our world is attempting to redefine everything that is in opposition to its sinful lifestyle. Recently in an article… Continue reading The Definition of “is”
The Unspoken Commandments

A statement the Lord said jumped out at me. “and ye shall know my breach of promise” What makes God break… Continue reading When God Breaks His Contract
A Brickhouse Incinerator
I was conversing with a friend recently, discussing the issue of preachers among us walking away from holiness and Apostolic doctrine. He made the statement, “Their ‘revelation’ today is building a prison that their children will inhabit tomorrow.” This statement brought to mind a sobering story heard recently. Pastor Doug White, from Silsbee, Texas was… Continue reading A Brickhouse Incinerator
The Mystery of the Long Pause
In Exodus 32:32 there is an astounding mystery contained there. It is not found in a word . . . but in a dash. It is a dash found after the word “sin”. The Hebrew symbol used for that dash… or in some translations ellipses… in that and only a few other places, is… Continue reading The Mystery of the Long Pause
