June 18, 2021 Hello church family:  Aren’t children’s Jesus books great!  They are filled with such happy stories that are always encouraging, hopeful and loving.  I can remember reading them to Ashlyn and many other children as they listened intently with some really great follow-up questions that would always push the boundaries of any parent’s imagination.  So many Jesus Story Books are like yo...  Read More

God is faithful!This Sunday ...  Read More

May 21, 2021 Hello Wonderful, Loving, Gracious Church Family:  Do you ever feel overwhelmed at the increasing speed that the anti-God world system is moving forward in relativistic change demanding society to compromise or else!  Well, there is some great news in Revelation 17.  We get a close up look at how the world system “Babylon" is destroyed by our Creator God.  Now don’t forget that in Reve...  Read More

May 7, 2021 Hello Church Family:  Does the thought of Armageddon strike fear in your hearts and minds?  Well, it really is not supposed to to do that.  But thanks to the world and Hollywood they have made Armegedon something that has nothing to do with Jesus’ clear teaching.  There have been over 350 feature-length apocalyptic films produced since 1955.  And then added to the endless movies we hav...  Read More

April 30, 2021 Hello Church Family! Well, we have made it in Revelation to the Golden Bowls of God’s wrath.  But, why golden bowls?  The Seven Bowl Judgments in Revelation 15-16, is in response to the “golden bowls of prayers” that have been being offered to God by His followers since the day they were first persecuted and martyred for following Jesus Christ in the first century.  Let’s follow the...  Read More

April 23, 2021 Church family: Do you live your life as if God nor spiritual beings are active in your daily life?  Do you live your life as if God and His angels nor Satan and his demons have any sort of genuine, influence or interaction with you?  As we continue to make our way through the book of Revelation, we see clearly that we are in a fight as citizens of the Kingdom of God against Satan an...  Read More

April 16, 2021 Church Family: As you experience life today, you most likely have heard the world confidently tell you how the God of the Bible is horribly angry and hot tempered.  Then they proceed, usually somewhat angrily, to tell us what the God of the Bible should be like - a loving, non-wrathful God.  As believers we also have the same tendency to strip God of His wrath.  We forget that the G...  Read More

April 9, 2021 Church Family: Revelation 14, produces some hard questions.  Do you believe in a God who shows His power by punishing non-Christians and who magnifies His mercy by blessing Christians for eternity?  I know, that is a difficult question, so here is another.  Do you believe in a God who decides to punish people who do not believe and follow Jesus Christ?  As I write this email, I am si...  Read More

April 5, 2021 Good morning GCT: As many of you know, I love experiencing God’s creation, seeing God in His creation.  Yesterday during the sunrise worship at the beach I mentioned the “sun pedestal” sunrise that we experienced.  Well guess what… it is better known as an "Omega Sunrise”.  Wow!  That makes it even more awesome!  Jesus, being the Alpha and the Omega incarnate (Rev. 1:8) gave us the b...  Read More

April 2, 2021 Church Family, Rejoicing with a Joy Inexpressible we live in a world that tells us what to believe and what not to believe desiring to rob of us of our joy.  Let us remember together what we, as Christians, rejoice in this resurrection weekend.  We rejoice that Jesus of Nazareth, the God-man, following a sinless and completely righteous and obedient life, died a substitutionary and c...  Read More

March 26, 2021 Church Family: Every day that we continue to live and breathe we are confronted more and more with Satan making war on us, the followers of Christ, the “offspring of the woman” (Rev. 12:17).  In America we are feeling this attack become more intense through the institutional world-wide power called Secularism.  This is just one way throughout history that the Beast of Revelation 13:...  Read More

March 19, 2021 Church Family:  As we live our lives in this world as followers of Christ and we watch the chaos unravel each day with an ever-increasing level of evil, do we get a sense that there is an organized power behind these movements and systems and individuals?  Do we think there must be a leader, an organizer, a General in charge of these consistent and pointed attacks?In our world today...  Read More

March 12, 2021 Church Family:  There is a spiritual war going on between heaven and earth and your soul is the bounty.  Everyday we see a visible manifestation of this worldwide spiritual battle between Satan, the Church and individual believers.  We see this battle in our own lives.  In Revelation 12, Jesus reveals to us who the players are in this battle.  First, Satan has been trying to defeat ...  Read More

March 5, 2021 Church Family: Did you know that the most famous piece of music ever written was completed in 1742, by George Frederic Handel?  After suffering a sever stroke at age 52, Handel finished his greatest piece of choral musical work, Messiah.  There are three parts of the Messiah that cover Jesus’ birth, the Crucifixion, resurrection and all the way to His second coming as the reigning K...  Read More

February 26, 2021 Church Family:  I want to take a moment and remind us who we are in Christ as we have arrived at some difficult passes in Revelation 11.  As a believer, a follower of Christ, a Christian, your identity is defined by God and your relationship to Him.  Who you are is not determined by anyone else.  No one has the power to determine who you are but your loving heavenly Father.  Your...  Read More

February 19, 2021 Happy rainy day to you Church:  As you read through God’s Word you generally find Scriptures that are easy to understand.  But, there are a few that are not that easy.  Revelation 11, is full of these hard-to-understand scriptures.  Revelation 11, is generally the subject of more interpretive mysteries and disagreements than any other chapter in Revelation.  Yet, there are so man...  Read More

February 12, 2021 Church Family: When evil is everywhere and the world is ripe for judgment, can God protect his own?When economies crash, when civil order falters and the social fabric frays, when restraint and respect give way to invasive aggression and random violence, when greed and animal appetite reign supreme: Can God keep Jesus’ little flock safe as they stand seemingly defenseless in the ...  Read More

February 5, 2021 Hello Church Family:  If someone were to come up to you today and ask you the question, “ What idol do you worship?”  You would most likely laugh at them and then dismiss them as strange and offensive.  In our 2021 American culture we don’t usually think of people worshipping idols in our neighborhoods.  But, when we go back through Scripture we see that the most frequently discus...  Read More

January 29, 2021 Hello Church Family:  Regret is easy and comes at us pretty fast.  Shame will jump on us in a flash.  We will carry remorse around for days, weeks, moths and even years.  But, repentance is rare and difficult.Repentance tends to be a fleeting thought that we can reason away into a forgotten fog of justification.  And yet, our Holy God requires repentance for our entrance into His ...  Read More

January 22, 2021 Church Family:  If you are like myself, we generally like things that bring pleasure, health and safety.  This is our natural human bent and we tend to make decisions based upon pleasure, health and safety.  However, as believers we are called to make decisions differently.  On this earth we are to make decisions first and foremost that show our love for the Lord our God and then ...  Read More

January 15, 2021 Church Family:  God hears our prayers.  He hears every one of our prayers.  He keeps all of our prayers and the prayers of every one of His followers that has ever been prayed from the beginning.  In fact, we see that when the seventh seal is opened in Revelation 8:1-5, the final seal that brings about the end of history, the prayers of all the saints are exactly what ushers in th...  Read More

January 8, 2021 Church Family: How often do you think about heaven?  Do you ever stop and contemplate the truth that your eternal citizenship is in heaven (Phil. 3:20) and that is where you will be spending eternity?  Do you ever slow down to consider the God-given promises that are your guarantee in eternity and how those realities should have an impact on today?  Just think about how much time a...  Read More
