Have you ever wondered what the world was like before Christianity? For us Christians, we have the Old Testament, and we can read how God interacted with Israel and the Hebrew people. We see a little about what life was like in Babylon and Egypt as we read of the Jews being slaves. The Old … Continue reading Spiritual Influence

The Spirit Of Antichrist
1 John 4:3. "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." The spirit of antichrist was already at work two thousand … Continue reading The Spirit Of Antichrist
Regardless Of Who Wins
This column is sent to newspapers on Monday, usually before noon. Since most receiving papers are weekly publications, published on Wednesday or Thursday, and most daily newspapers that share Preacher's Point usually publish the column sometime over the weekend, nearly everyone will read these words after the results of this year's election are known. This … Continue reading Regardless Of Who Wins
Church Attendance
Nearly everyone has attempted to hit a baseball. With the little guys, we'll place the ball on a T but give them the same instructions as older kids being pitched too - keep your eye on the ball, swing level, choke up on the bat, and so on. Without practice, the little guys will never … Continue reading Church Attendance
How Close Are We?
I came to Christ at age fifteen, and God called me to preach at sixteen. From the get-go, I was fascinated by prophecy. When I was younger, I desired (and thought the odds were good) that I would live to see the rapture. However, as time passed, I began to think that maybe the rapture … Continue reading How Close Are We?
Grab Yourself A Hymnbook And Sing
In January, I was at a fundraiser for a Christian non-profit organization. A college-aged woman sat down next to me. I know who she is, but I do not know her well. A fellow was singing on stage. His songs were songs a person would find in any hymnbook. He sang "Blessed Assurance." The woman … Continue reading Grab Yourself A Hymnbook And Sing
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
Poor In Spirit
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 5:3. Look at the promise given to the poor in spirit! The kingdom of heaven, which is salvation, eternal life. You may be thinking, "I thought salvation was through faith." It is. There are hundreds of verses that announce that … Continue reading Poor In Spirit
America’s Fall
There are many parallels between the United States today and Israel in the time of Jeremiah the prophet. Both nations were heavy into sin, and the sins are similar. Israel turned to idolatry. Yes, indeed, you do not see many Americans bowing to golden idols, but we do have our gods. Anything that takes first … Continue reading America’s Fall
“Power Was Given Him Over All…”
A time of change is coming. No one knows how quickly the change will come. For example, when I was younger, the Soviet Union and the United States were the world's superpowers. The might of each nation was so strong; no one would mess with either. Yet, a shocked world watched as the Soviet Union … Continue reading “Power Was Given Him Over All…”
