Knowing who to Help

Knowing when and how to help others is an important part of one’s salvation however, knowing who to help is far more crucial. In a world filled with false prophets and evil doers, helping the right people can be tricky. In recent weeks, we talked about lending a helping hand to those in need. Much […]

Knowing how to Help

Ever since I was saved and accepted God’s commands as my guidebook, I have struggled with watching secular television. One of my favorite shows continues to be ER, an award winning drama series on NBC. My wife Elizabeth and I have been fans since the very first season over a decade ago. This week’s episode […]

Knowing when to Help

On Saturday as part of this ministry, I provided free wedding photography for two of God’s children. Serving the Lord using my skills and talents, I was glad to help document an extraordinary event that took place among an ordinary Florida park. (See pictorial at ChristianPhotographer.com) While I was shooting photographs at Picnic Island Park under […]

From spiritual babies to faithful adults

At this year’s Easter Sonrise, more than 50 people gave their lives to Christ and nearly 200 people were baptized in the Holy Spirit in the waters of Tampa Bay. While absolutely miraculous, these acts of faith must now become the starting line of a long, marathon like journey. Though accepting Christ as our Lord […]

How to resist Temptation

Actively involved in ministry for close to three years, I am often approached by individuals who are dealing with difficult issues. At the top of the list is temptation. I strongly believe every temptation provides us with an opportunity to do good or, to fail our Lord and do wrong. Since all of God’s children […]

Witnessing to Family and Friends

My older sister has been experiencing serious problems in her marriage for a while. She and her husband have been married for four years and have been hit hard with unemployment and financial problems, which began right before her wedding day and have been ceaseless ever since. She is a very private person, and her […]

Using our God given Gifts to serve the Lord

Pastor Dale delivered a message about the prosecution of Christians this week and pretty much put the congregation to sleep, again. Though Dale is a devoted solid beam of light, he is also hypnotic and often elusive. His sermons are too often not understood or even confusing. We all have a purpose driven by the […]

Water baptism by full immersion

Spring is among us and with warmer weather comes warmer water temperatures. What this means for Floridians is ample opportunity for outdoor fun which includes beach baptisms. Elizabeth and I had the chance to participate in our first beach baptism last fall when she decided to “take the plunge” and make a public statement announcing […]

The End is Near

The end is near. I feel it, long for it and pray for it. I can’t wait for His return, call me selfish but I can’t help it. The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is closer than most people like to admit… “Do you think it’s gonna happen in your life time?” asks […]

How old is mother Earth?

In apologetics class this week, we discussed intelligent design versus Darwin’s theory of evolution which lead us to explore the variations between young earth and old earth creationism. Old earth creationism is a variant of the creationist view of the origin of the universe and life on earth. It is currently the view of many […]
