The other day in class one of the students asked a question and inferred that they believed in a ‘once saved, always saved’ doctrine.  While I appreciated the context of the question and statement, I had to make a stand as to what we believe in the Assemblies of God fellowship, and more importantly, whatContinue reading “Once Saved, Always Saved…Yeah, NOT!”

Hello again brothers and sisters in the Lord. I hope you are fairing this storm with dignity and grace.  We are almost home!  This being the case, the question has risen recently as to the what we are to be doing in these last days and why are we to be doing it, knowing theContinue reading “Why Polish Brass on a Sinking Ship?”

I have been blogging a lot about the return of the Lord in the Rapture of His Church. It would seem that this is a major field of interest for me as of late, especially in light of what is happening in and around the world.  While I don’t want this blog site to beContinue reading “Lot’s Plight, My Plight?”

We hear this word a lot, especially lately, ‘ready.’  Sometimes it comes as a statement of being, other times it’s a question, and still at other times it’s a command, get ready, stay ready, live ready.  Recently Pastor Kevin Moore from Restoration Church (formerly Gardena Valley Assembly) closed a Bible study with a prayer thatContinue reading “Live Ready!”

My mother of 98 years passed away two days ago.

Yes, apparently this is a thing, second only to FoMO, the fear of missing out, also a thing.  Lately I have been experiencing some FoRo in my life with regard to resources and such. I can’t be the only person who has been looking at the shelves in some stores and noticing that things areContinue reading “The Fear of Running Out (‘FoRo’)”

The word ‘eschatology’ means ‘the study of last things, end times, or of endings.’  People who consider themselves to be students of eschatology will often research the Bible and other documents that pertain to the Lord’s return for His Church, our coming judgment, and the glory that awaits all who have placed their faith inContinue reading “My Personal Eschatology”

Jesus said, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”                           – John 13:34,35 John said, “Beloved, let us love one another, for loveContinue reading “Crazy Love”

This is a common phrase used in a variety of ways, places, opportunities, and even as a song lyric by the band Toto in the late 70’s.  When we hold the line, we are maintaining a position of resistance coupled with a determination to keep that which we are defending, that which we currently possess. Continue reading “Hold the Line!”
