Don’t Make Jesus Your “Personal” Lord and Savior!?
By: Dr. Mike Christian author David Pratt wrote an excellent book entitled: Follow Me; and in this book, you will find a chapter labelled, "Don't Make Jesus Your Personal Lord and Savior." When you first read the title of the chapter--knowing that you've been taught that Jesus is my personal Lord and Savior, you have to catch yourself from labeling Mr. Pratt a religious heretic. After reading the chapter, you come to realize that he makes perfect sense, even though we love to
Q: Should The Unconverted Take Communion?
Q: I was in fellowship with a group of church leaders, recently, and the conversation was about NOT serving unbelievers Communion? Can You share a little insight on this subject for us? Thanks! A: I’m honored to be asked to comment on such a holy, consecrated event that takes place in the house of God, on a monthly basis. As lead Elder doing this important event, I take nothing for granted, but to make sure every element of the Communion Service
Q: Can a Christian be Demon possessed? And Biblically, how much power does Satan possess?
Q: Dr. Mike, you may have previously answered this particular question; but, for us Millennials, and other newcomers to Christianity, can you reiterate your answer as to: Can a Christian be Demon possessed? And Biblically, how much power does Satan possess? Emphatically NO! For a true believer to be demon possessed, it means an evil spirit has completely taken over the individual - spirit, soul, and body. The main reason this is virtually impossible is because, when a person is truly
Q: The Bible says “We will judge angels.” Are these the ‘good angels’, or ‘bad angels’?
Q: The Bible says “We will judge angels.” Are these the ‘good angels’, or ‘bad angels’? A: Let’s look at this important text, here in sacred Scripture: In 1 Corinthians 6:3-4, it reads, “Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life! So if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?” The context, here in this text, is whether or not
The Danger of Compromise!
When one read the Book of Jude, it’s obvious the main points that he was attempting to get over, was a battle cry for the early Church not to compromise, but to fight the good fight of faith to preserve Christian orthodoxy, while satanic forces launch an all out attack with its powerful forces to bring the true church to its knees. His war cry was for the Church to become more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit
Q: Does God get ‘Glory’ out of sending those to Hell who reject Him?
Q: Does God get ‘Glory’ out of sending those to Hell who reject Him? A: Now .., that’s a deep theological question!!! I believe Ecclesiastes 12:13 sums it up best, by saying, “The whole duty of man is to fear God, and keep His commandments.” When King Solomon mentions this wise proverb, he’s saying, ‘the fear of God,” means to reverence God, love Him, and have faith in Him, through His Son, Christ; and by keeping His commandments, throughout sacred Scripture, “ALL TO
Q: Are There Guidelines For How Long A Sermon Should Be?
Q: Some pastors sermons are lengthy and some pastors seem to be shorter. Are their guidelines on how long a sermon should be? A: Most theologically minded pastors would all have to acknowledge that there’s no ‘one length-fits all’ idea for every sermon, because situations are different! Sometimes, in a service, the Spirit of God moves in a unique way, and that 40 minutes sermon that I had in mind, turned out to be a 50 minute ‘God glorifying and transforming hearts’
IT’S HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP!
By: Dr. Mike In Romans 13:11-14, it reads, "This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all
Dr. Mike, Will Those Christians Who Use Profanity and Crude Language Make Us More Relevant in Reaching Our Culture?
[Excellent question!] Former renown journalist, atheist, and now Christian apologists Lee Strobel, who has written best-selling books, most notably, "The Case for Christ," and "The Case for Faith," has built his career around relentlessly seeking the truth! And through careful investigations, he was surprised to conclude, "By my nature, how God wired me up, I tend to be a person skeptical of things; so I think, in my case, God use the evidence for the faith to open my eyes to
