Bang, Bang,Your Dead.
Zechariah 14:1-14:12
Bang, Bang,Your Dead.
Preaching the Gospel is an exciting adventure into the past, present and future. Many believe that humanity will continue at its present rate and eventually come together in peace and love. I’m sorry to say that this is just another lie from the father of all lies, Satan. Man is destined to die, no matter what, age, race, color, weather they be rich or poor. Death will not be denighed. As a child, I believe that many of you playe…

Hope, Enduring, and Sustained.
The Hope that believers have is enduring, and sustained, by our trust in the Lord.
The hope that lies within us is, the hope of a resurrection from the dead, being promised by Jesus. We believe in hope because we are told that, the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies.
“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by…

Men and The Bible. pt.2.
Their Responsibility to his Wife.
If the men of today would read and understand the scriptures, we would see less spousial abuse, for a woman was not put into this life to be beat upon or abused, this action constitutes sin.
Let us read a little and understand the importance of a wife among men.
"And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"
The main reason many leave home is for the add…

"I hold these truths to be self evident."
"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness."
We, as believers in Christ have seen, heard, and have witnessed many things, that this world will not believe.
Jesus testified of a truth that was well known to Him. He came from the Father and to the Father He returned. All ministers must also testify of the things that were made known to them. This is where the ministry of the…

Ye Believe in God!
Faith.
Belief; the assent of the mind to the truth of what is declared by another, resting on his authority and veracity, without other evidence; the judgment that what another states or testifies is the truth.
We, who believe in God, have no need of physical proof, for His Spirit dwells within us. We see things that others can not see, hear things that others can not hear, and speak things that can only come from the Holy Spirit of God.
Jesus stated; "Let not your heart be…

The Battles of Gog and Magog.
This verse is literal.
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. All nations on the earth will compass about Jerusalem and there by be destroyed. This is contrary to what many are teaching about Jerusalem. The Battles will be fought there.
There will be two battles of Gog and Magog. The 1st. will end by a great earthq…

Morality;
The quality of an action which renders it good; the conformity of an act to the divine law, or to the principles of rectitude. This conformity implies that the act must be performed by a free agent, and from a motive of obedience to the divine will. This is the strict theological and scriptural sense of morality.
Morality cannot be forced on any one, this is contrary to scripture. Mankind has a choice, to live a moral life, or to ignore just, and moral ways, to become just another per…

The Significance of Jesus Christ.
As the breakaway Presbyterian Churches accept homosexuality as a good life style, they are also considering the Significance of Jesus Christ and His word.
As far as prophecy goes, is this significant, or a look into the future of all churches?
This is not a message about homosexuality, but rather a study on the end of the righteousness of many churches.
First we must ask ourselves a few questions and find some definitions.
1.What is meant by, "The Signifi…

How I Do Grieve.
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
God has no pleasure in the death of any man. For we are all made in His likeness and in His image. We morn, and grieve, over the death of a loved one, I myself have grieved many times. It is a hard thing to lose someone that you halved loved all your life.
We are heartbroken by a loss, but some take it harder than others. We must grieve in our own way, and accept…

Of Blood and Sacrifice.
The Body cannot live without the blood. If you had a perfect body and you would change the blood to clear water, the body would die. Why? The life of the Body is the Blood. The same thing applies to the body of a Christian and also, the Church as a whole. Without the Blood, the Body would die. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the sou…

There are many that are curious about what the signs of the end of days are. In this lesson I shall bring forth some of the signs and explaining them and how they appear in todays world.

A Sign.
"The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame."

Why yet am I also Judged as a Sinner?
In these end days we see controversy after controversy. The Bible is clear on those that will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but when a man, who is called by God, preaches these things he is accosted, persecuted and called a sinner.
“For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that goo…

Many, in these end days, are accusing the Christian community of hate for gay and lesbian couples. This idea is wrong, we do not hate but fear for their souls. Here is the question that many are asking;”Can a gay man, or lesbian woman, be a Christian?” The Bibles answer is no.
“And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.”
Abomination;
Extreme hatred; detestat…

The Scoffers.
To scoff; “To treat with insolent ridicule, mockery or contumelious language; to manifest contempt by derision; with at. To scoff at religion and sacred things is evidence of extreme weakness and folly, as well as of wickedness.”
There are certain parallels in these end days to the truth of the scriptures. There are many that are scoffing at the Christians that say, Christ is returning soon. Jesus stated that He would return, when all is fulfilled, and His Father sends Him.

Why seek ye the Living among the Dead?
The Son of man, The Son of God, all in one, never separated, never to die again. This is the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the troublesome times many are asking, “Will Jesus Return?” This is also in the prophecies of the scripture. We, as Christian, know that Jesus will return, but the multitudes are asking for proof. We have no proof except our faith in God and His word. Is it so hard to believe that Jesus will return? Is it so hard to believe in the unseen? We…

Sadness; Sorrowfulness; mournfulness; dejection of mind; as grief and sadness at the memory of sin.
Seriousness; sedate gravity. Let every thing in a mournful subject have an air…

Power and the End Days Church.
Power is something that we all have been used to living with. For electrical power to reach the out most homes we use a booster, for as the electricity flows further from its source of origin it gets weaker, the same thing happens to water pressure. This is the way of transferring power from one source to another.
Many people ask the same question over and over again, Why can't we do, or why can't we see, the power of God working in our lives, why can't we do the…

What I have done.
The Bible tells us that Jesus is the door, and no man enters except threw, and by Him. He is the one that opens the door and who then shuts the Door, Christ. When the door is shut, what manner of man can open it? No one can, for only Jesus has the power to open a shut door.
We are not saved by our works but only by grace, threw faith. What I have done cannot open a shut door. Many enjoy a good Christian singer, sometimes they bring about inspiration and sometimes, even bring a…
