Based on what I’m observing on social media, many Christians are becoming unloving, and very legalist in their posts and comments regarding this presidential election. I like what Dr. James White said in warning the church about this presidential election. “Be careful that your zeal for things political does not drag you across the line
For many reasons I am thankful that we had ‘zero’ knocks on our door last night. Both trick-or-treaters, and cults are staying away. A man’s front door is more volatile than his nation’s border, and it must be secured and guarded. Out of respect for people’s privacy, I do not do ‘door to door’ evangelism.
499 years ago today, Dr. Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on that door, and without computers his theses went viral. Are you ready to die for Christ, and His inerrant sufficient Gospel? Though my experience is ‘trivial’ compared to Dr. Luther’s trial. Years ago an FBI Agent tried to get me to deny my
A Biblical response to the hysteria of this 2016 Presidential election by Bill Rhetts A post to all professing Christians: An element of salvation is repentance, faith, and trust in the Lord, all of which the Lord gives vertically to those whom he saves (His church). That repentance, faith, and trust should become evident, as
To my Christian friends. I don’t know what I like better. The older days when voters generally didn’t tell who they’re voting for, and our voting booths even had curtains on them. Or today when most voters tell everyone who they’re voting for. Nevertheless, whom a person endorses (or supports on social media) tells a
Last night on television, during the vice presidential debate, Mike Pence publicly gave his testimony regarding his faith. He stated, “My Christian faith became real for me when I made a personal decision for Christ.” Bear in mind that the aforementioned ‘statement of faith’ was seen and heard by an estimated viewership of over 50,000,000 people
Today we see the growing trend of professing Christians assimilating to their culture, even to sinful lifestyles; in hopes that they would be accepted by the world. They claim to do this so that “They’ll Jesus inside me” etcetera etcetera. Oh how blasphemous, and man-centered that unbiblical nonsense is. As pastor Michael Durham said –
Ministering to one crowd at a time. Though I did not include the ‘one on one’ conversations, the Lord was doing a Mighty work on this crowd. Also saw some evidence of a few Christians that were not ashamed of the public preaching of the Gospel. Often times the Lord uses these outreaches to edify His
From Chaplain Bill, I’m just an ordinary sinner, saved and changed by an extraordinary Savior. What I’m about to share is not politically correct, but it is Biblically correct. Yesterday I received a personal message from a Facebook friend that I’ve personally known for a while now. For the record I’m all for Biblical instruction,
Most of my mentors at large have proceeded me in death. But thanks to the internet, I can pretend that I am sitting in Dr. Richard Owen Roberts classroom. He is a gem, and this old-school Bible scholar still gets all fired up. – Bill 🙂
