GOD WITH US: THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE!
By: Dr. Mike Jones Many people see Christmas as a time to think of the baby Jesus in a manger. And in a humbling manner, there’s nothing wrong with that thought process: but the central truth of the Christmas story is this: God wrapped Himself in human flesh as an infant, in a manger. So, this Christmas, let’s think of the great truths of the Incarnation. It’s remembering the birth of Christ and the mystery of the Incarnation, that’s found in 1
Q: Dr. Mike, can you explain whether our loved ones are in Heaven looking down on us to encourage us, to finish this ‘faith’ race?
Q: Dr. Mike, can you explain whether our loved ones are in Heaven looking down on us to encourage us, to finish this ‘faith’ race? A: Funny you should ask this particular question: I recently conducted a couple of funeral/memorial services, and each time, I mentioned that particular reference found in Hebrews 12:1, “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset
Q: Are a majority of Christians today ignorant of Demons?
Q: Are a majority of Christians today ignorant of Demons? A: Let me preference my response by saying, “The numbers don’t lie!” The Christian surveyor, George Barna reported in The Christian Post Newsletter that, “The majority of American Christians do not believe that Satan is a real being or that the Holy Spirit is a living entity. Nearly 6 out of 10 Christians either strongly agreed or somewhat agreed with the statement that Satan "is not a living being but is
Q: Dr. Mike, I’ve heard you say, that the [KJV] Bible isn’t in chronological order, in terms of when each book was written. Can you explain, please?
Q: Dr. Mike, I’ve heard you say, that the [KJV] Bible isn’t in chronological order, in terms of when each book was written. Can you explain, please? A: When I spoke on Communion Sunday morning, my main focus was to convey what each verse meant by the Apostle Paul, from 1 Corinthians 11:23-32; because during the Communion service, most of the time, the passage is read to the congregation, before partaking of the Holy sacraments, with very little understanding of the
OH GIVE THANKS THIS THANKSGIVING!
By: Dr. Mike Jones As we approach the ending of another year, for Christians, nothing touches the heart of God more, than to see His children showing the God-centered gratitude, that our Lord demands and deserves; a sincere form of appreciation for who He is and for what He has done through us and for us. This month, we know it best as Thanksgiving, a time of expressing profound gratefulness for His tender mercies, comfort, and spiritual guidance. So, this Thanksgiving, in the
SHEEP IN THE MIDST OF WOLVES!
By: Dr. Mike Jones A noted Bible scholar once said, "Many Christians suffer today from ecclesiastical schizophrenia. On the one hand they are urged by pastors to withdraw from worldly associations and activities; and on the other to proclaim the gospel to pershing people. It is impossible to do both." Our Lord made a statement that must have had the disciples scratching their heads. "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves." What a weird statement, because the
EAGLE EYE SAINTS!
By: Dr. Mike Jones Throughout history mankind has had fascination with Eagles, known as the king of the birds. Roman Legions (about 6,000) marched under the silver and gold emblem of Eagles. Egyptians used the Eagle as a symbol of victory! Here in America, our founding fathers put the Eagle on our national seal and on our money. Eagles can weigh as much as 14 pounds and have wing spans measuring seven to eight feet. Turbulent winds don't affect them. Eagles in the
5 Common Excuses People Elect To Use When It Comes To Forgiving
By: Dr. Mike Jones The Word of God ‘COMMANDS’ us to forgive one another, as expressed in Matthews 6:14-15, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” And some attempt to forgive with a grudging heart, when Ephesians 4:32 says, “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” Number
THE ATTRIBUTES OF A STRONG CHRISTIAN
By: Dr. Mike Jones What comes to mind is how scripture talks about the stature King Saul, how he was the most handsome man in Israel - head and shoulders above everyone else (1 Samuel 9). And how the Prophet Samuel was sent to anoint David as the new King, and saw his brother Eliab, and thought, "Surely this must be the one!" He quickly learned that God's measure of a person was totally different than man's (1 Samuel 16). So as
CHRISTIAN CHARACTER THAT WITHSTANDS THE TEST
BY: Dr. Mike Jones The key word, when you hear about Christian character withstanding the test is ENDURANCE.Normally when we read the King James Version of the Bible we see the word PATIENCE; but in today’s English we would use the word ENDURANCE. When we talk about PATIENCE, the King James Version of the Bible uses the word LONGSUFFERING; which simply means your willingness to put up with irritating people, situations and circumstances without losing your temper - to remain composed as
