The Lord is Building His Temple
“Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.” (2 Chronicles 3) The original temple was built on Mt. Moriah which was the site of […]
Prosperity vs. Discipline
Picking up from our last post on image and likeness, there’s been a prosperity movement in the Church that says God wants everything for us that our flesh wants because Jesus suffered so we don’t have to. This is wrong and ignorant of many parts of scripture. It’s a fleshly/worldly way of thinking. What about […]
Questions about What is Coming in the Kingdom of God & the World
We said in the Coming Storm presentation that a new season was upon us and we talked about the fact that Jesus told us to be aware of the signs of the times. We said that the changes that were coming were not just financial and economical, but that these signs would be of every […]

We Buried Our Baby Last Night
She was precious. We named her Glory because she gets to experience the eternal , full radiant glory of God before we get there. She was about an inch and a half long. She was fully formed with eyes, ears, nose, fingers and toes. She was beautiful and perfect. Kara had been spotting for over […]
Self-Discipline and Discipline within God’s Family
The Lord entrusts His discipline of us to three different parties: The Holy Spirit Before He went to the cross, Jesus told his disciples that it’s for their benefit that He should go. He told them that another would be sent on His behalf to teach them. John 14:25-26 [NIV] 25″All this I have spoken […]
Jesus Modeled His Image and Likeness
So how do we attain to the likeness of God who is so vast and unknowable? His people in Israel struggled at this impossible task for centuries, but who could know the mind of God? How are we to be Priests and Kings? As sons of God, we have a mighty calling and yet it […]
On Prosperity
Does God want you to enjoy so much Prosperity that you need a private jet to travel to each of your luxurious mansions? Are prosperity teachers Happy Fun-Fun Loons who don’t understand the Suffering that is called for in those devoted to the Cross? Or is the truth somewhere in the middle? For the next […]
The Easy Life in Jesus (Mt 11:18-30)
