About

I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"BE CAREFUL HOW YOU PRAY" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"BE CAREFUL HOW YOU PRAY" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

WHEN I AM WRITING ON SOME OF THE SAME THINGS, PLEASE BEAR WITH ME.  I KNOW I REPEAT MYSELF BUT THERE JUST MIGHT BE SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT NEEDS TO HEAR WHAT I AM WRITING THAT PARTICULAR MORNING.  IT IS NOT EASY WRITING SOMETHING NEW EVERY MORNING.  PREACHERS USUALLY HAVE A WEEK TO WRITE THEIR SERMONS.  HEALING IS ONE OF THE SUBJECTS I WRITE ABOUT A LOT BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT.  PEOPLE ARE DYING OUT THERE AND ACCORDING TO JESUS, WE HAVE THE POWER TO STOP IT.  IN MATTHEW 10:8, HE TELLS US TO "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the...

"LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 17:24 "For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day."

LUKE 17:24-31


This scripture and the parallel scripture in Matthew 24:27 make it very clear that the second return of Jesus will be no secret to anyone. In Matthew's account, it is especially clear that this statement about the lightning was made so that we wouldn't be deceived by false Christs. Just as lightning is visible to everyone, so the second return of Jesus will be witnessed by the whole world. That's the reason we don't have to be fearful about missing His second coming and anxiously follow every report that Christ has come.

These verses completely destroy the claims of the Bahai religion and others who claim that Jesus has secretly come back the second time.

Just as Jesus had warned His...

"DO YOU HAVE AN OBEDIENT HEART?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"DO YOU HAVE AN OBEDIENT HEART?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN






AREN'T YOU GLAD THAT JESUS CHOSE PAUL TO PREACH HIS GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES AND THAT HE WAS OBEDIENT TO DO IT?  IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE 12 DISCIPLES ARE WRITING TO AND TEACHING THE JEWS, BUT PAUL, IN HIS 13 BOOKS, IS WRITING TO THE GENTILES.  THIS WAS A GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT AMONG THEM WITH JUST A HANDSHAKE.  IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND...

"GIVE THANKS DAILY" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"GIVE THANKS DAILY" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 17:18 "There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger."

LUKE 17:11-18


Relatively few people who receive the goodness of the Lord return to give Him thanks for what He has done. That does not keep the Lord from doing what is right for us. He healed all ten of these lepers according to their request - not just the one who was thankful. However, there was only one out of the ten that was made "whole."

The Lord desires that we prosper in spirit, soul, and body. He wants us to be whole - not just healed. Part of the reason God meets our physical needs is to prove to us His willingness and ability to meet our emotional and spiritual needs. The Lord is concerned about our temporal needs (Mt. 6:30), but He is even more concerned about our eternal needs. All of these lepers needed physical healing and the Lord was moved with compassion and met their...

"FOCUS ON THE THINGS ABOVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"FOCUS ON THE THINGS ABOVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

John 11:44 "And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."



Symbolically, Lazarus is like many Christians. The Bible speaks of us passing from death unto new life when we get born again. But it is also true that in the physical and emotional realm, we bring our "graveclothes" from our old life with us (i.e. habits, attitudes, etc.), and we need to be "loosed" to fully enjoy our new life.

Our emotions and attitudes follow what we think. When we focus our attention on our problems, they are magnified out of proportion. When we neglect our problems and think on God's provision, the answer is magnified and the problem shrinks. Whatever we think upon is going to dominate us. If we think on depressing things, we'll be depressed. If we think on uplifting things, we'll...

"USING YOUR FAITH" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"USING YOUR FAITH" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

YOU MIGHT THINK THIS IS A STRANGE QUESTION BUT HAVE YOU TAKEN YOUR FAITH?  IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU SOMETHING AND YOU DON'T TAKE IT, WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO YOU.  THE BIBLE SAYS THAT FAITH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO YOU.  NOT TAKING YOUR FAITH CERTAINLY DOES NOT PLEASE GOD.  IT SAYS IN HEBREWS 11:6 THAT "Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."  




NOW, IF YOU HAVE TAKEN IT, ARE YOU USING IT?  THAT IS THE PROBLEM OF A LOT OF PEOPLE. THEY SAY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH.  ROMANS 12:3 SAYS "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."...

"GROANING IN THE SPIRIT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-08-12
"GROANING IN THE SPIRIT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

John 11:33 "When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled."



The Greek word that is translated "groaned" expresses that Jesus was deeply moved, but not necessarily with sorrow. It was more a groan of anger at Satan who had caused all the grief Jesus was seeing around Him. Jesus came to "destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14), and He was grieved to see the pain that His enemy had inflicted on those He loved.

This is the type of groaning that the Holy Spirit does for us. It is not just the Holy Spirit sympathizing with us, but it is the Holy Spirit doing battle for us when we don't know how to pray. In this case, it was the Holy Spirit doing battle through Jesus against death and the doubt of those present, that would have kept Lazarus in the grave.

"DYING FOR JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

"DYING FOR JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

ARE YOU READY TO DIE FOR JESUS?  IF SOMEONE HELD A GUN TO YOUR HEAD AND TOLD YOU THAT THEY WOULD KILL YOU IF YOU DIDN'T DENY JESUS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?  I WOULD HOPE THAT WE ALL WOULD HAVE THE COURAGE TO NEVER DENY HIM.  THERE ARE PLACES IN THIS WORLD THAT THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING EVERY DAY.  WE ARE SO BLESSED THAT WE CAN STUDY GOD'S WORD WITHOUT THE THREAT OF BEING KILLED.  THE SAD THING IS THAT THERE ARE SOME CHRISTIANS THAT DON'T EVEN READ THEIR BIBLE EVERY DAY AND OTHERS NOT AT ALL.  HOW SAD IS THIS?



I WAS READING ABOUT STEPHEN THIS MORNING AND FOUND A FEW THINGS I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HIM.  I KNEW THAT HE HAD BEEN STONED BUT DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS THE FIRST MARTYR OF CHRISTIANITY.  HE WAS A DEACON IN THE EARLY CHURCH AT JERUSALEM AND CAUSED MUCH HOSTILITY AMONG THE MEMBERS OF VARIOUS SYNAGOGUES BY HIS TEACHINGS OF JESUS.  HE WAS ACCUSED OF BLASPHEMY AND AT HITRIAL HE MADE A SPEECH DENOUNCING...
