"A house divided against itself cannot stand." - Abraham Lincoln. "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand." - Jesus Christ (Matthew 12:25). Lincoln made his "house divided" speech in 1858. Jesus Christ's quote comes from around 30-31 A.D. Lincoln made his comment … Continue reading A House Divided

If Ye Love Me
God loves you. Any doubt of that is disproven in the Bible's most famous verse, John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God loves you so much that He gave His Son as the sacrificial … Continue reading If Ye Love Me
The Truth VS Our Truth
What a person believes dictates their actions. Most people I know are honest people. By that, I mean if they tell me something, they at least believe what they have said to be the truth. I also think the people who know me consider me to be honest. Using myself as an example, as a … Continue reading The Truth VS Our Truth
The Coming Persecution
Prophecy is a popular topic. People seem enthralled by the Biblical accounts of the end times. Whenever there is news of saber-rattling with nations involved in end-time prophecies, my mailbox fills with questions and predictions. Large earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, blizzards, hurricanes, and other natural events that are Biblical signs of the times also spark increased … Continue reading The Coming Persecution
Please, Think About Christmas for a Minute
Christmas is less than two weeks away. December is always a hectic month for us. Life is busy enough, but December adds school and church programs (and the practices associated with each), work parties, family gatherings, church suppers, and gift shopping, among other things. The weather does not cooperate either; it is usually drab and … Continue reading Please, Think About Christmas for a Minute
Finding An Expert
We all have experts in our lives, people who know more than we do about a particular subject. When we have a physical ailment that home or over-the-counter remedies will not cure, we go to a doctor - a medical expert. People see an attorney - a law expert - if legal issues arise. If … Continue reading Finding An Expert
Suit Up
Many Christians seem spiritually wounded. They want to do better in their Christian life, but for one reason or another, they believe they cannot. A wounded soldier on the battlefield, unable to fight back or reach their weapon, would be a physical example of this spiritual truth. Just as in physical warfare, in spiritual warfare, … Continue reading Suit Up
There Is Power In The Blood
I keep running into Christians who tell me they believe they can lose their salvation. I scratch my head at this belief. Many times, I will ask them this, "Suppose a saved man is driving down the street. On the sidewalk, he sees a beautiful woman. His eyes stray, and while looking at the woman, … Continue reading There Is Power In The Blood
Make America Godly Again (Part II)
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)
