Dads. . .don't outsource the evangelism and discipleship of your children! Do not hand them off to Sunday School teachers and Youth Group Leaders to do the job for you. They won't be successful, but you will. Ephesians 6:says "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. And, if you are a dad, start acting like a man! 1 Corinthians 16:13!!

Is your salvation secure? Are the promises in God's word enough to make you confident of that security? Yahweh entered into a unilateral covenant with Abram regarding Abram's descendants and future ownership of Israeli territory. In much the same way Yahweh enters into a covenant relationship with us that we cannot break, no matter what. Is this eternal security? Not exactly. At the end of the message I clarify what perseverance of the saints is and what eternal security is not.

Should Christians take money from non-Christians to support ministry? Should churches have accepted PPP money from the federal gov't to pay expenses as many churches did? Listen in to today's message to find out the answers to those relevant questions.

Outnumbered a gazillion to 318, Abram sets off to defeat Lot's captors and rescue his nephew and family. What was it that gave him such great faith and courage? Could it be an absolute faith in the promise of God?

The abundance of possessions is not always a sign of God's approval. Lot selfishly chose the better pastures but ended up losing it all in Sodom when it was destroyed by sulfur from heaven. Abraham, on the other hand, learned a few lessons in Egypt about wandering away from God, and chose a much different path.

It is hard to accept for some that God sends trials into our lives to purify us and conform us to the image of Jesus, but he does, because he loves us. The famine that Abram experienced in Canaan was just such a teaching trial. Will Abram trust God to fulfill his promise in Canaan or will he travel to Egypt and ask his wife to commit adultery? There is much to learn from Abram's lack of faith.

The Christian world today (especially in America) if filled with people who think they are true believers but are not! We call that “Easy-Believism”. Unless your faith produces actions and good works,. . . . one is not a true believer! Abram is our model of true faith. Let’s learn from his example.

Once mankind had turned their backs on Yahweh at Babel, and Yahweh righteously turned his back on that rebellion, then in His grace He raised up a nation via Abram (later Abraham) to be a pathway back to God. That assignment has now been transferred to the Church of Jesus Christ.

At Babel, Yahweh dispersed humanity for their own good, otherwise eventually they would end up killing each other to the last man. They turned their back on God but God chose Israel to be the pathway back to Him, a task the Church is called to today.

Too bad Noah, godly man that he was, did not parent Ham a little better than he did. His son Ham, grandson Cush, and great-grandson Nimrod led a rebellion against Yahweh that continues today in the form of all Eastern Religions and Luciferian worship.

On this July 3rd Sunday, 2022, I review our Nation's history going back ideologically to the Protestant Reformation, then to the Pilgrims, then to the wave of Puritans who founded Boston. But later the Jesuit General did all he could through the Jesuits and the Luciferian Freemasons to destroy the Protestant Reformation and take control of this great country for their own purposes. Some of this review will be old, much of it will be new to you. My study is teaching me so much I did not know before. Be blessed.

You can't fight temptations in your own power. We all need supernatural assistance. If we can go 40 days in the strength of the Lord, we will be amazed at how God can defeat any addiction we struggle with, no matter how long the struggle has been.

When the Lord told us to ask for forgiveness (our greatest need) as we forgive those indebted to us. . .was He telling us all forgiveness is unconditional, as many claim? If so, that would be a contradiction of Scripture. This message closes with a theology of forgiveness based on many Scriptural passages.

Yahweh promises to provide for His children in order for them to do His will and expand His Kingdom.
