    Building a Church

    I was once in a very 'evangelical' church organization that was rapidly training and licensing ministers to 'go out' and build churches for the organization of God. I learned many many things of what not to do with, and in the name of the ministry of Christ. One main thing I learned was that...

    A Jew is not a Jew outwardly but inwardly, and believers in Jesus are the new seed of promise of Abraham, while the Jews and Israel 'after the flesh' (Romans 9:3)(1 Cor 10:18) have been cut off in unbelief. Them that believe are the new Israel of God (Eph 2:12) and His new holy nation (Ex...

    Rapture

    The only thing that definitely happens in a moment and the twinkling of the eye is the 1st resurrection, where the dead in Christ rise first, and we that are alive and remain are changed into immortality. But the actual rising to meet with the Lord in the air is not specified in terms of time...
