No More Tears

Life is tough! Anyone who
has lived long enough will experience many tears
in life. If there is a human being who has never
known sorrow, I have never met that person. One
of my all time favorite scripture passages in
the Bible is found at Revelation 21:4 "And God
shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and
there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away."
Living in paradise will someday be more than a
fantasy. Read more...

Wal-Mart Churchianity--We Preach For Money

Comparison shopping for
churches can be a life long ordeal, because the
brands to choose from are innumerable. Walking
down the aisles of Wal-Mart Churchianity can
cost you a great deal of money if you buy into
their sermons and their church teachings. The
world of churches is a world of vast diversity,
and virtually every leader of every church lives
in a world of make-believe--a bubble. Church
leaders are mostly all self important and love
to make others think that the life of Christians
revolves around them. They want commitment,
because their income depends on it and many will
say that "church hopping" is a no no. They love
to lay a guilt trip on anyone they can't
control. Read

Truth Is Sometimes--Shocking!

by Van Robison
When Jesus Christ made His
entrance into the human realm of life, nearly
two thousand years ago, He SHOCKED the world.
The expectation of the Messiah was very
disappointing for many, because they were
looking for a FICTIONAL Messiah. The REAL JESUS
CHRIST is just as shocking today, as He was when
He taught His own personal disciples. The
religious leaders of the time of Christ were
appalled at the teachings of Jesus. They were
horrified by Jesus, because Jesus demolished
their man-made customs, traditions, deceits,
fraud, false teachings, false authority, greed,
lust and power mongering (Matthew 23). The
response of those religious leaders to Jesus was
hate, persecution, attempted murder, lies, false
accusations and ultimately death to Jesus
Christ. Read

Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

There is more to the
discerning of "savage wolves" that goes even
beyond doctrine. Yet, as it is, many in the
church appear to have great difficulty in
judging for themselves as to whether what a man
teaches is representative of a pure gospel or
"another gospel." Paul could not have spelled it
out any clearer than when he wrote to the
Philippians, "For many walk, of whom I often
told you, and now tell you even weeping, that
they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose
end is destruction, whose god is their appetite,
and whose glory is in their shame, who set their
minds on earthly things" (Phil. 3:18-19).

Sunday: Holyday or Man-Made Tradition?
November 01, 2007 @ 12:20 AM | Permalink
by Van Robison
Many are the customs of the
church world, that have nothing to do with Jesus
Christ or the teachings of Christ. Sunday "go to
church" is at the top of the list of man-made
traditions (along with tithing). In the Old
Testament, the Sabbath of rest was the seventh
day of the week: "Remember the Sabbath day, to
keep it holy" (Exodus 20:8). All Bible students
know that the weekly Sabbath of the Old
Testament referred to the seventh day of the
week. What many Christians are unaware of is
that there were also other "Sabbaths" in the Old
Testament that had to do with annual Feasts or
Holydays. At times, it was possible for an
annual Sabbath or "Highday" to fall on the
seventh day of the week, which made it a double
Sabbath. Read
