Kisses from Daddy
Before I begin this post I need to make something absolutely clear. When I speak about God as Daddy, this is only one aspect of His personality. Sadly, it seems that many Christians today fall into either of two extreme categories. Some see God only as a benign father [...] Continue Reading…

It All Just Happened? I Don’t Think So!
We had just arrived home after our Thursday night worship service. It was a cold, clear winter night, and in our rural area the brilliance of the sky is unhindered by street lights. Above us a countless array of stars sparkled like diamonds set against black velvet, and the [...] Continue Reading…

Testing Prophecy
Just because a statement comes with the words “Thus saith the Lord” attached, or because it is couched in King James English, does not mean that it is truly a word from the Lord. Sadly, some people try to use prophecy to further their own agendas. Others are sincere, [...] Continue Reading…

New and Old

A Royal Priesthood Part 5 – The Priestly Ordination
When we talk about ordination in relation to the Royal Priesthood, it is important that we remember that we are not talking about “ministry” in the sense of an exclusive group within the Church, but of the whole Body of Christ. We are all “ordained” to be priests of [...] Continue Reading…

Middle Class Welfare Takes From the Poor
I am cross-posting this from my AustralianChristian blog at http://christianaussies.com/australianchristian. I urge others who may share this concern to also cross post this.

16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich,
Both come to poverty.
