First the state told us when to worship. Now they are telling us "how" to worship. ( no singing)
We have been patient, and safe. (Even wearing masks) Our church will sing to the Lord Sunday. The heavens declare His glory and so will we. Happy Independence Day.
The unprecedented FBI raid on a former president’s home should be very troubling to every American irrespective of you you voted for. Pray for our country tonight.
Today Pope Francis said, "Every religion is a way to arrive at God…Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian—they are different paths."
According to Scripture, this is heresy: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John

invaluable book, Shepherds for Sale.
As a pastor for 40 years, and a Bible college president, I have seen the effects of these “Shepherds” leading men into woke ideology and away from truth. Every pastor and church leader should get a copy today!
Amy Coney Barrett was attacked today for having adopted children, for once signing a pro-life statement, and for speaking to a Christian group about legal principles. The smugness of pro-infanticide senators was indicative of their attitude toward people of faith.
That Harvard, founded with the motto "Truth for Christ and the Church,” would appoint an atheist as head chaplain is testimony of apostasy. That a Christian pastor would congratulate him is a caution of where certain interpretations of gospel-centered and social justice can lead.
Saddened to hear of the homegoing of evangelist Billy Graham. He shared the saving gospel of Jesus Christ with the poorest among us, presidents of our nation and everyone in between. Praying for
@Franklin_Graham
and family.

A preacher posted against abortion this morning and others told him not to get involved in politics. Where did these spineless, biblically-illiterate, politically correct “preachers” get the idea that believing the Bible is too political? Mary was “great with child.” Luke 2:5

’s decision to endorse the pro-trans surgery for minors, pro-abortion, pro-socialism candidate is sad to see. The woke ideology affecting evangelicalism is tragic.

“Now I beseech you, brethren,
Kamala Harris shared 3 distinctives of her campaign platform this past week. She is
1) Pro-infanticide
2) Pro-legalized prostitution
3) Pro-federal legalization of marijuana.
This is not the building of America; this is the destruction of America.

Thank you to all who have prayed for my mother and our family the last several days. Mom went to be with the Lord this morning. She was a faithful wife of 59 years, wonderful mother, godly soulwinner, missionary’s wife and pastor’s wife. A tribute here:
Happy to report that all fines for worshiping, paid under protest by Lancaster Baptist Church to LA County during Covid lockdowns, have been refunded as of today. Also thankful for recent Supreme Court rulings that provide added protection for religious liberty in the future.
Today the New York senate voted to allow abortions through birth, and this was the reaction to the vote. May God have mercy on us.
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee..." (Jeremiah 1:5)
Pray for our US citizens in Afghanistan. The irrational leadership of President Biden has endangered many. Billions of dollars of weapons are now in the hands of terrorists.
Please pray for my mother (pictured here 6 years ago) as she battles Alzheimer’s and Covid-19.
She taught me the importance of soul winning and Christian hospitality.
Today we celebrate 40 years together! Terrie, you have been an amazing wife and best friend. I thank the Lord for your godly spirit, and love for Christ and our family.
After my mothers funeral in Arizona I began to feel quite sick. Today, I tested positive for Covid 19 and I am receiving treatment and will be quarantined. I encourage everyone to stay safe during these winter months.

Saddened to see the signing of a bill by

Our dear friend and former city councilwoman, Angela Underwood Jacobs, has lost her brother who was killed during the recent riots in Oakland. Please pray for her and her entire family.
It is deeply disturbing to see newly elected women to congress remain seated and scowl when a proposal is made to stop third trimester abortion.
A pregnant woman is a woman, “Great with CHILD”
Luke 2:5
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
I would like to thank everyone who is praying for our family and my mother in particular. She is very near Heaven's door tonight. An amazing mom, soulwinner, wife of 59 years, educator, and missionary.
Appreciate everyone’s prayer as I have experienced Covid-19. Feel like I’m turning a corner. More challenging than I would have predicted. But God has a way of speaking in times like these, for which I’m grateful.
This book by
@megbasham
is riveting! Much of the social justice and woke effects on churches today are traced to their financial and compromising roots. Too many pastors quote and follow leaders whose agenda is not truly about the gospel. Every pastor needs to read this!

@ClaytonKersh22
Clayton, the Dodgers are elevating a group on June 16th that is hateful and intolerant to people of faith. My family and the ministries I lead cannot support the Dodgers if they support this hate. Tolerance is preached but apparently not practiced by the Dodgers.
Really appreciate prayers from across the nation for churches here in California as we obey the Scriptures and honor Christ tomorrow.
Many cities here with 50-100,000 people in need of a soul winning church. Come over and help us. God is able!
It was refreshing to hear from a pastor who had been misinformed about our ministry philosophy and actually called for clarification.
We all would do well to practice 1 Corinthians 13:5-7 toward one another!
Charity…thinketh no evil…rejoiceth in the truth…

, we are not all uncharitable, we do not all practice 4th degree separation, and we don’t all receive the Sword of the Lord. But many of us are standing against the social justice theology, antinomianism, and the uncertain sound of the weakening evangelical church (1/3)

Nancy, if we truly are concerned for God’s creation we cannot support abortion. Mary was “great with Child” according to Luke 2:5. Let’s protect pre born children so they can see the creation of God in generations to come.

The local church, not denominations or organized fellowships, is still God’s plan for worldwide evangelization. Grateful to pastor an unaffiliated, Baptist church, and privileged to work with other likeminded churches to plant more churches.
Thank you, Blake Treinen, for taking a bold stand for Christ! Christians must speak up when organizations like the
@Dodgers
invite groups who openly mock Christ and people of faith.
I'm obviously not a Catholic, but I am disgusted by the
@Dodgers
' decision to honor a group that obscenely mocks and denigrates people of faith.
I've written to let them know if they honor this group, we will never patronize the Dodgers again.
As an unaffiliated Baptist I believe soul winning and gospel preaching to be my priorities rather than social justice. (Luke 19:10) I am not advocating social injustice but believe Salvation through Christ will remedy many other problems. Keep the main thing, the main thing.
Thank You, Lord, for saving my soul.
Thank You, Lord, for making me whole.
Thank You, Lord, for giving to me,
Thy great salvation so rich and free.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you

No matter what your question our need, the Cross is God's last argument—an argument of love.

President Joe Biden has declared Easter Sunday as transgender visibility day. I have been saying for years that the LGBTQ movement is the religion of many in America. This declaration from the White House is a mockery to our Lord Jesus Christ. Every Christian should take note to

AB 2943 is an assault on free speech and an attempt by Ca. to dictate to Christians and churches how we are to practice our faith. Since when can a state tell a church what books to sell? Christ followers will always give and teach the Bible in California.
