Day One: Learning to Hear His Voice… Daily
Today is the first day of a 40-day adventure. No, this adventure is not about a mission trip to Haiti or a hike down the Appalachian Trail. This 40-day adventure is a time set aside to discover more about the Lord and to learn, specifically, how to listen when He …

Why Should We Meditate on God’s Word?

The Just Shall Live By Faith… Just Like You
As we strive to become more of a faith prepper, we know the most important thing we can do is learn to live by faith, and not just give faith lip service. After all, the single verse that changed Martin Luther’s life and led to the Reformation was Romans 1:17, which …

Repentance or Remorse, Heaven or Hell

Giving All of You to Receive So Much More
This morning, after a time of confession and prayer, the Lord led me to an entry in My Utmost for His Highest on March 8th. That’s right, an entry from 313 day ago. And it was exactly what I needed to cement what God showed me in my time of prayer. It deals with …
555: Are You Going to Church or Being the Church?
This is a question we should ask ourselves each time we trek off to a worship service on Sunday mornings. What is church or what is church supposed to look like? Is church a building? Or is it something more? Is it something we do or something we become? And if …
554: Solomon’s Life: “Stupid Is as Stupid Does”
In the first chapter of Ecclesiastes, Solomon, once the wisest man who ever lived, tells us how he really feels about life. He says, “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” Or, all of life is meaningless, useless, pointless, of no real value, and a colossal waste of …
553: Don’t be Like King Solomon, Choose Wisely
In the Christian life, God makes it pretty simple for His children to follow Him by offering them only two choices, and two outcomes. These two choices, however, are portrayed in several different ways in Scripture. For example, there is the choice between light …

This is a collection of the many questions I have struggled with and the answers I have found regarding the relationship between authentic faith in Christ and much of what is portrayed today as Biblical Christianity. Especially with the coming darkness looming over all of us, including the church.
Come with me. It should be a wild ride!
To find out more about us and what we believe, just continue reading…
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”
Revelation 3:15-17
