In last week's Preacher's Point, we examined how to make America godly again by looking at 2 Chronicles 7:14. This week, we will focus on Revelation 3:14-22. Chapters 2-3 of Revelation contain seven letters to seven different churches. Every church, everywhere, can point at one of these seven churches and say, "There we are!" The … Continue reading Make America Godly Again (Part II)

Make America Godly Again (Part I)
If America is going to return to greatness, she must first return to godliness. When the Bible was the most-read book in the land, when the people of the nation had respect for God and His Word, we formed this country by defeating the most prominent and best-trained military in the world with a bunch … Continue reading Make America Godly Again (Part I)
Take It Or Leave It
God starts His Word with a great take it or leave it statement. Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Either God created everything, or He did not. The theory of evolution puts doubt in people's minds about the validity of Genesis 1:1. This doubt begins in kindergarten or before. … Continue reading Take It Or Leave It
What is good preaching?
What is good preaching? When it comes to style, there are many choices. Some ministers preach like an intellectual giving a dissertation. Speaking in a monotone, it would take a nearby explosion to get them to move from behind the pulpit. Others move around so much a pulpit seems unnecessary. Of those that move around, … Continue reading What is good preaching?

I have these thoughts because Easter makes Christianity an all-or-nothing proposition, and many claiming Christianity try to walk in the middle of the road. Allow me to … Continue reading Is Easter Important Or Meaningless?
The State Of The Union
The state of America can be a short speech. One sentence will do - "The country is a mess." Our problems include inflation, abortion, crime, mass shootings, health care, Chinese spy balloons, a general lack of trust, wildfires, hurricanes, the supply chain, an ever-increasing national debt, and the list goes on. Now that several problems … Continue reading The State Of The Union
Blessed
Christian, are you blessed? Now sit back and think of why you answered "yes." Did you have any material things on your list? You know, things like your house, car, or funds in the bank. The sermon on the mount starts with what is commonly called the beatitudes. It is a list of people who … Continue reading Blessed
Faith and Truth
Eternal salvation comes through faith, by grace. Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." The Bible explains that everyone is a sinner, and the washing away of sin can only happen by the … Continue reading Faith and Truth
Purified Seven Times
Since 1611 the King James Bible was the Bible used by English-speaking people. Around the year 1900, the first modern translations of the English Bible started hitting bookshelves. Many claim that newer translations are easier to read. The Bible tells us, however, our understanding, or lack of understanding, of the Scripture is a spiritual issue, … Continue reading Purified Seven Times
