At twenty-three years of age, shortly after I had been led to a full surrender to Christ, I was introduced to a book which would shape my thinking to this present day.  The book was entitled, Why Revival Tarries.  It was written by an Englishman, Leonard Ravenhill; a man who practiced what he preached, and shaped a generation with a fresh vision of what it meant to be Christian; and especially what it meant to be called to preach in the Name of Christ.  Here is what this voice from God had to say.  Ravenhill wrote:

“…But where are the Elijahs of God?  We know Elijah was “a man of like passions as we are,” (from James 5:17) but, alas, we are not men of like prayer as he was!  One praying man stands as a majority with God!  Today God is bypassing men — not because they are too ignorant, but because they are too self-sufficient.  Brethren, our abilities are our handicaps…!

(Ravenhill describes Israel in Elijah’s day like I would describe much Continue reading

“There Is No ‘Trans’-Gender”

We are hearing a lot about what is termed, “Transgenderism” these days.  Some say it’s an option.  Some say it’s a choice.  Some say it’s a right.  The Bible teaches it is sin!!  Most who promote the idea of “transgenderism” are also the people who push the murder of a child in the womb as being a “choice”—choice of death for the baby!  Isn’t it interesting how satan loves to give sins a more acceptable name so that they will be more readily accepted by the masses.  Let’s consider why what is called “transgenderism” is sin.

There is No Trans1For starters, it is not logical:  Not in origin, not in practice.  No matter what kind of surgery you have on the body, you cannot change the genes.  We are internally what God made us to be, either a male or a female.  This cannot be changed.  Change on the outside does not change what is inside, in the genes or internal organs.  Neither can we change the way we go about doing things.  All established order in this earth recognizes a male “approach” to things and a female “approach” to things.  Thus, you can be a “transvestite” (meaning you can dress like the opposite sex) but you cannot be “transgendered”.

But more importantly, a so called “gender change” directly attacks Continue reading

The arguments continue over whether a wall should be built along our Southwest border to keep out people who are not willing to meet the qualifications our Congress has set for people to enter the United States.  Those who want the Wall believe a nation needs well defined borders.  Those who do not want a wall believe there should be no borders between nations.  I’m still wondering how you define what is a nation if you don’t have borders.  I hear opinions being expressed by most everyone.  But I rarely hear anyone addressing this issue from the Biblical perspective.  What does God say about the boundaries of nations?  Since God created nations (Acts 17:26) you’d think He’d have some definite things to teach us about nations.  Indeed He does:  If we’d only be quiet and listen instead of believing that our thoughts deserve to be heard more than anyone else’s!

God tells us about nations’ borders in Deuteronomy 32:8.  The Bible says,

“When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds [or boundaries] of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.”

God gives to nations boundaries, therefore, the boundaries should be respected as a moral issue as well as a geographical issue.  Shouldn’t we be Continue reading
