Lutheran Church (ELCA) is Now Officially Apostate

This is what happens to a church when it completely abandons all scriptural authority and "leans to it's own understanding". When a church wants to be academic and politically correct rather than biblical and Christ-centered, it turns to rationalizing sin. And when it begins rationalizing sin it has nowhere else to go but down.

Christians Forgotten About by American Politicians

Seems like the President of the United States has forgotten about Christians in Egypt that are being persecuted at a level unheard of. In the midst of the chaos and nonsense that is going on in Egypt, believers in Jesus Christ are being left out of the mix and our government seems to be working to appease a mob that will attempt to wipe out the current government and along with that, all of the body of Christ that is represented in that part of the world. Let us pray for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ as they war against the enemy that is seeking to destroy them and their presence. Let us also pray that our leaders wake up to see the plight of the Church of Christ that holds the only message that will rescue human beings: The Gospel.

Plenty of Things to Pray For So Get Busy

The church in America has a great duty to do; and that is to begin praying for the movement of the gospel around the world. As the enemy is moving to stop it, we must employ the supernatural weaponry to advance the kingdom of God. The greatest weapon we have is prayer.

A Way to Share The Gospel With Others

When you share your faith you want to share it right. Right? Well if you want to know what is needed to be known about The Gospel, I think John Piper does a fine job of explaining it (the gospel that is) in the video above. So now that we have the tools- give it a shot and start spreading the news!!!(the Good News that is) Enjoy.

Wanna get a lot of people for your church?

Here is an interesting video courtesy of Bro. and Sis. Manalastas, members of our church, that shows how and why a church may grow. Too often pastors are so afraid to preach the gospel, in fear of losing the goats, they will say and do anything, which leads to starving the sheep.

PRAYER the greatest tool in the Christian life

Guess what? Most Christians have horrible prayer lives. And unfortunately I must say, my prayer life needs a lot of improvement. Often people say prayers, but they do not engage in praying. Well I have to warn you, I have to say something that is hard and unfortunately sad to say, but many Christians don't even know HOW to pray. Until prayer is emphasized in a believers life, most will live defeated and powerless lives; carried out in pain and frustration. However there is hope! Here I have an interesting link on HOW TO PRAY. So you can read, learn and use the most vital and powerful weapon for all Christians. See, there is always hope in prayer because God is always listening.

This is why being relevant is irrelevant

Here is a video that depicts why the church has become less and less authentic in its message and existence. It has become so much like the world that it can’t be distinguished. Here is a great suggestion: Be what you are supposed to be…a church.

Modern Church Growth

Getting people to come to a church is often very hard for pastors. So many attempt to use various methods and means to get people. But does the end result justify the means????

Wanted: A Revival of Christian Dogma

Unfortunately today basic Christian dogma is neither preached or known in most churches today. Most people have minimum scriptural knowledge in applying Christian thought and belief. One of the myths that has been thrown around in religious circles is the universalism of mankind and the overall belief that all people are generally good and God will one day save everybody. However the word of God says something very different. The nature of man is not only depraved but scripture says it is “desperately wicked “. The belief that God LOVES Everybody is neither scriptural nor philosophically logical. Here is an interesting video I thinks that makes the point

Baptism by Immersion

I feel that the only people that have it right when it comes to baptism are the BAPTIST! (well, some other folk too) But I believe that scripture clearly teaches that those who have professed faith in Christ are the ones to be baptized. Which is Credo-baptism as opposed to Paedo-Baptism (infant baptism). Dr. MacArthur has a great article pointing out the validity of Believers Baptism in this BAPTISM ARTICLE. This Saturday we will be baptizing our dear Brother Kevin Manalastas a believer at Cabrillo Beach which is located in sunny Southern California! Come on out and enjoy as we celebrate this joyous occasion for all.
