God gave us His word — the Bible — to help us, to instruct us, to correct us, to help us know what is right and wrong, good and evil. But if we ignore it or try to explain it away, it does us no good.

My way:

So many today want to live any way they want to. This type of thinking separates us from God and grieves the Holy Spirit, keeping Him from being able to work in our lives. So, we must embrace the whole Bible and purpose to live it, knowing we will make mistakes. The only way to really know when we make mistakes is by hearing and believing God’s word. Without it we are lost.

The easy way:

So many set aside God’s word when things are difficult or they are afraid. We side with evil over God’s word because we think it is easier, or we somehow misinterpret the word of God. Lack of knowledge is destroying so many lives.

His way:

We must learn the word of God and act on it, regardless of what the world is saying or teaching. God is always right! His ways are always the best ways! His thoughts are always better than our thoughts! Until we believe that, we will continually be like children, tossed to and fro by waves, and carried about by every wind of doctrine.

The Church is the only thing holding back evil. We can’t be true believers and ignore parts of the word of God. True believers believe it all, no matter what!

God first:

In life, one of the major decisions we make is who or what takes first place. For some, it’s family, and for others, it’s their job or their children. Still, for others, it’s their hobbies or sports. Bottom line: it’s our decision. Even though the abovementioned aren’t bad, the question remains: should they be first place in our lives? I believe the answer is a definite, “No!” God and His ways should always take absolute precedence. If God is first, everything else will fall into place. If He’s not, nothing will fall into place. Again, it’s your choice.

You choose:

Prioritizing God should be reflected in our finances. The first step in making that happen is to return the tithe to Him. The first portion — the tenth — of what you earn is His, and we should return it to Him. We return a tithe and give an offering. When we do, we place God in His rightful place in our lives — first. When that happens, every other area of our lives will start to straighten out. The choice is ours.

Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

We are coming to a place in our society where I believe theChurch will experience persecution as never before, where this administration wants to invade the Church and take away our freedom to express our faith.

The watchman:

I personally have been sounding the alarm for the past 19 years,warning believers that certain movements will be used to take away our freedom to worship, given to us by God Himself and protected by the constitution of the United States. But we see how this COVID-19 served to simply remove our freedoms in every area, and most Americans — as well as most churches — went along with it.

True commitment:

When something means a lot to someone, when a person is passionate about something, when a person believes in something so strongly that they are willing to die for it, they will fight to the death to keep it. When the temperature of the Church was taken because of a virus, the Church as a whole failed miserably! Still today so many churches are not open. Christians as a whole are so afraid of a virus that they gave up on gathering together and worshiping God, instead of saying to the government and the people in our cities and towns that you will not tell us how or when we can worship God — the only real God, the Father of our Lord Jesus — we just submitted.

Fear God:

So, I’m encouraging the true followers of Christ to follow Jesus and the word of God without compromise, stop being afraid of a virus, and begin to fear the Lord, reverence Him, serve Him. It is time for the true Church to put Him first, no matter the consequences.

I do want to say I am proud to serve with the people who attend Legacy Church. You have truly stepped up and put God first. Thank you, Legacy, for believing and serving God. He is worthy.

We just celebrated the most important Christian holy day of the calendar year. Easter/Resurrection Day is so important because all of Christianity revolves around the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without that there is no salvation and no redemption — we would be lost forever, doomed to eternal death.

Forever changed:

What Jesus did for us on the cross has changed the world forever. What is sad today is that the cross doesn’t mean much to people. We hang them, wear them as jewelry, make them look really nice, and maybe forget the real meaning of it. If He didn’t die, He couldn’t be resurrected. Easter cannot be another holiday — can’t be about Easter bunnies and eggs. What Jesus did for us should never be lost to a world that uses anything and everything to commercialize, to sell products.

He is risen:

The cross at one time represented maybe the worst way to die, to be crucified. Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on a cross, it now represents hope to all of humanity — that we can be saved, born again, and have a relationship with God Himself because of Jesus’ sacrifice. Then the truth about His (Jesus’) being raised from the dead proves He is the Son of God. He is King of kings and Lord of lords.

It is time for all of us to get serious about our walk and service towards Jesus and God’s kingdom. Allow this to be a moment where we reflect on Jesus’ sacrificing of Himself for us and hope we can get more serious about serving Him, living His way.

The strength of our country is the strength of its religious convictions. The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.

                                                                                               — Calvin Coolidge

We, as believers in God, and this country need to get back to the Bible — to actually believing it. It’s the only thing that can truly save us.

Under attack:

A dog barks when its master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent. The truth of God’s word, a belief in one true God is under attack in our nation and our world as never before. But no matter what the world says, teaches, believes, we should remain faithful to God and His word (the Bible) and not be moved.

The typical American:

The typical American believes, Truth is what I say it is, and no one can tell me otherwise.Americans today believe that right and wrong can be discerned only by each individual, based upon their feelings and circumstances.

Back to basics:

When we disagree about foundational issues such as God as the Creator, gender (male and female), marriage, family, and the personhood and sanctity of preborn lives in a mother’s womb, where does that leave us? This is why it is more important than ever to get into the word — learn it, live it, believe it. Only those who endure to the end will be saved. So many will lose their souls for eternity because they bought into a lie instead of staying with the truth.

The word of God (Bible) is the inerrant word of God. Believe it and save your soul.
