Without realizing it, the LORD’s children frequently refuse His blessings. Unfortunately, the complaint of those same children is frequently to the effect the LORD does not bless like they think He ought. This message addresses how it is that we refuse the blessings the LORD does desire to bestow upon His children. May it be profitable for you.
In Christ,

This addresses being internally a doer of the word, and not just a hearer of the word. Far too many individuals who claim Christ are doers of the word only outwardly – the word never penetrating their heart where it must go to do any good at all.
I pray it is profitable for you.

I have added a new page to the blog portion of the website in preparation for the change to a Content Management System for the website. I have been working on several themes in preparation of changing several sites and am also working on moving content from the static (HTML and XHTML) pages to a dynamic (PHP and MySQL) database driven website. This will ultimately allow me to focus more time on content, and less on coding and markup of the pages. One of the first benefits of this can be seen on the new Audio – Lessons and Preaching page. The page has the traditional hypertext links to the MP3 files, PLUS it has an embedded media player that you can simply click on and it will automatically begin playing the file.
I will still maintain the old static pages and copy content to those pages for the older browsers. But, I will not “dress them up” and spend incredible amounts of time on them. That stated, enjoy the new page – there are several lessons and messages there already.
In Christ,

The following audio is about those sins that we all harbor, and consistently fail to acknowledge as sins. Rather, we tend to justify these and excuse them as being the fault of those who offended us.
May you profit by the message.

Christian preacher arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin
It seems that those so openly espousing “tolerance” are totally INTOLERANT of any message that convicts them and states plainly they are wrong. They are especially intolerant of the Bible and those who preach the Bible:
Dale McAlpine was charged with causing “harassment, alarm or distress” after a homosexual police community support officer (PCSO) overheard him reciting a number of “sins” referred to in the Bible, including blasphemy, drunkenness and same sex relationships.
If the police officer half understood anything, he would understand that Mr. McAlpine is actually trying to save his life. It does make one wonder how the police officer would be able to see the truth of the Scriptures, when he cannot even see that ALL nature condemns his “lifestyle?”
The following audio is the first part on a series on spiritual war. The title of the study is “What Kind of War.” It focuses on what the spiritual war that all are involved in is like, and how Christians can unwittingly make things worse for themselves and their brethren in this war.

What relationships we have as Christians, matter — and matter greatly. The order of importance of those relationships is also just as important as the relationships themselves.

The following message is about our view of the LORD God and whether it is proper or not. It focuses on whether we think the LORD is the end of the matter, or merely a means to obtain another end. I pray it is profitable to you.
