    Thoughts on Halloween

    I don't touch it at all. Too much darkness and too many occult spirits run rampant that day. If anything, our church gathers to pray against the day and all of the evil that comes with it.

    Sukkot

    My family and I just returned from our Sukkot celebration. We camped for 9 days with our church with worship, teaching and fellowship every day. We're in Colorado, so it got a little cold, but it was an incredible time!

    The Coming Tribulation: Many Brethren Are Ignorant About It

    I originally asked people why they find it important. And then I answered a question directed to me.

    The Coming Tribulation: Many Brethren Are Ignorant About It

    No Scripture is trivial. But the endless debate of something that is going to happen in one form or another, and is a moot point if we're living in obedience to the Holy Spirit, seems trivial to me. Instead of pursuing when something will happen, I find it more useful to the Kingdom to teach...

    The Coming Tribulation: Many Brethren Are Ignorant About It

    Ever since I was delivered from the whole Left Behind worldview, I've honestly just taken the stance of "What does it matter?" when it comes to end times doctrines, While I don't believe in any form of rapture teaching, I find the debate of the timeline of tribulation a trivial matter. Until I...

    Remember the Sabbath

    Do you think it's possible the Holy Spirit would ever lead you to do one of the 613 laws? Or are each and every one of those 613 forbidden and evil in God's eyes?

    Remember the Sabbath

    God's Instructions are not for "Jewish" people as we know them today. God was, and is, the God of Israel. Far before the nation of Israel was formed. So when God says, "Hear, Oh Israel", He isn't talking to a physical nation or religion. He's talking to His chosen people. Which Gentile...

    Love it! We had a great celebration that day, complete with mikvehs (Baptisms) in the Colorado River and blowing of shofars from the mountain tops. Only 9 more days until Sukkot!

    Remember the Sabbath

    And what is the Old Covenant? What did God say when He gave it? What were the terms and conditions of that covenant?

    Remember the Sabbath

    I do my best to follow the instructions God has given His people. The same instructions Jesus said to follow. I follow the instructions the Holy Spirit gives me. There absolutely is rest in God's gracious salvation. But that doesn't mean we sit on our hands and do nothing.

    Remember the Sabbath

    Even after his conversion, Paul still followed the Law. He just did it in proper context to salvation by faith. And Jesus himself told His followers to follow the Law and to teach others to do so. If there ever appears to be a contradiction between what Jesus says and what Paul says, I always...

    Remember the Sabbath

    Luke 4:16 "And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read." Acts 17:1-2 "Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of...

    God's Ordained Feasts

    The Feasts are not part of a national law given to the Jews, but to all of God's people which includes Christians today. And even though the legal punishments of sin have been done away with, we still have the opportunity to walk in the ways God call us to. Not out of legal obligation, but in a...

    Question about women in the church.

    And you are welcome to your opinion. I believe you take those Scriptures out of context, but that is your own personal viewpoint. We should be diligent in rightly dividing which Scriptures are for the Body at large, or the specific and local gatherings, which I believe applies to the Scriptures...

    Question about women in the church.

    My church currently has a female Head Pastor and a Male Associate Pastor for the ~20 years the church has been in existence, we've had men as the Head Pastor and Associate Pastor (which I was for about 16 years.) The verses in Corinthians and Timothy about women not teaching are usually taken...

    God's Ordained Feasts

    The Fall Feasts are my favorite times of the year. So much annointing and revelation every year. Plus, a ton of fun as well!

    Church Discipline

    We've only had a couple of instances of the full-blown Matthew 18 church discipline process. But we've had to ask a handfull of people to take a season away from the church while they work on particular issues in their life of their family's before they can come back into the corporate fellowship.

    Church buildings

    As a follow- up, Acts 15 talks about the basic commands and instructions new Believers needed so that they could go and hear God's Word. Acts 15:19-21 19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. 20 Instead we should write...
