R.S. Helms Commentary

The Church at Ephesus The Church at Ephesus   Perhaps, there are those Christians in the church today who have never heard about the Seven Churches of Asia Minor, (Revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ to St. John; chapter 2 – 3), there are some so-called Christians that do not read and study the Bible on a regular basis, and some preachers seldom preach from the book of Revelation. Nonetheless, the book is a wonderful book of study for the Christian, and the seven churches may be used very effectively for a measuring gage in three aspects of your spiritual wellness, as an individual, as a church, and as the church universal.   The conditions, which Jesus addresses, cycle through the Christian church experience, as well as the individual relationship of Christians to Christ.   The church at Ephesus, its history of spiritual good works for the kingdom, and its fault.   2  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seve

Thoughts For Today Part two of two   We pick up where we left off, and that is inspecting the fruit of people.   Here at home, people become outraged at the evil carnage committed by the Islamic State in the Middle East, Kenia, and other Muslim regimes, while downplaying radical Islamic terrorist bloodbaths in western nations.   Yet these so-called homegrown terrorist cells enjoy the freedom to move about and organize using Islam Mosques for recruiting and radicalizing Muslims.   Where is the sustained outrage?   The president, demonstrated outrage over evil committed in Paris, and then went back to yuking it up with his friends on the golf course.   He demonstrated his outrage against the Christian Crusades, ether not knowing the facts, or purposely blaming Christian aggression for committing this evil, or indirectly placing blame on the Christians for the problems with Islam.   From the day Adam took a bite of the fruit of the tree, there has been evil in the hea

The World Will Hate You… R.S. Helms   J esus told us in the gospel of John, (15:18) (“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you”).   There is several areas if concern, which I would like to address today.   First off, the lie which has been perpetrated against the United States for several decades, and at present is propagandized by the liberal left wing of the political spectrum and the President of our nation along with his minions and global citizenry brain washed spokespersons rendering Obama praises.   This is a Christian nation it was founded as such, continuously been such, and now it remains a Christian nation with a multitude of religions because they are guaranteed freedom to practice their faith as they see fit.   The intent of that First Amendment guarantee is that the government is forbidden to mandate a national religion.   So as a Christian, and a Southern Baptist Pastor (ret.), I am so happy to claim “we are an un-mandated Ch

Jesus Wrote on the Ground The Supreme Court decided public prayer at a public meeting was constitutional.  That is a great decision on their part; however, it has some of the anti Christians, anti God people hopping mad.  There have been many posts and comments from both sides of the argument, many yeas, and some nay.  Bear in mind however, that both liberal and progressive bureaucrats have had their negative comments.  For me, I am rejoicing in the Lord over the victory, they would not get so “red-faced” if it did not hit home.  After reading a cartoon posted in the TownHall conservative webzine, I commented about something about how prayer in public reveals the sin of those listening.  That reminded me of a sermon I once wrote and delivered, “Jesus started to write on the ground”, it comes from the book of John 8 th chapter and verses 3 —11. Couple of points, concerning SIN our sin and how God always points it out   fo

Beyond Disrespect In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham asked the Lord to spare the city if he could find 50 righteous people. God responded to Abraham's plea "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all ...Genesis 18:16-33 The movie " Corpus Christi " is due to be released this June to August. It is a disgusting film set to appear in America later this year which depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theaters for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "The Body of Christ". It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we Christians can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you do send this around, we just might be able to prevent this film from being shown in Canada and America . Let's stand for what we believe and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior. Where do we stand

Where is the Christian Church? It Appears Dead Has the church lost its influence in America?  I for one do not believe it has, it may be somewhat misplaced, but that may be God’s plan to prune some of the ‘dead wood’ from the tree.  Several denominations have declared their progressive politically correct liberal views.  Many Christians today simply do not use the word “sin” or admit there is such a thing. The liberals have set the talking points, demonizing Christianity to the point that it is embarrassing to hear the stupidity pouring from their mouths, or in most cases written across a comment space after a story.  If you don’t believe that just visit my e-mail or view a comment section of a Christian story.  The loss of values in this nation is linked or is a result of the assault on faith in Jesus.  Liberals have provided a platform for all types of special interest (sin) groups and the Atheist, to promote

Christian Persecution Being a dinner for a lion The gospel of Mark was penned AD 64, after a fire destroyed most of the city. Four districts were untouched, three completely reduced to ash, leaving seven in some sort of destruction, which brought about rumors that the emperor was behind it. This was countered by blame being leveled at the Christians. Of course Christians became the focus of government persecution, many was arrested and tortured then put to death, most was sentenced to death. This led to the climate of uncertainty for the Christian, as an invitation to make several choices: 1) Deny the Lordship of Jesus, and affirm the pagan gods and loyalty to the emperor. Thinking in the weakness of their faith, that God was unable to defend them. 2) They could become as the chameleon and change, only not color but gods, and just melt away into the mass of humanity. 3) They could fall into a state of apathy waiting to be found out, draining their spirits and stre

I have been asked, why I write about two subjects at the same time?   In the minds of those who ask, “religion” and “politics” are supposed to be separated.   When in fact, they mesh together like well machined gears, like a hand in a glove, like white on snow, and narcissistic on politician. I know the kick back, I will get from this blog and web page article, “this cracker is an old has been, who must be blind and senile, nearing the point of extinction, and needs to catch up to reality.”   Nonetheless, I still believe this is a Christian nation, as well as does the rest of the world outside of the boarders of our nation.   It is the most desired nation to live in the world.   It has more people, legal and illegal, trying to get in, than those who are trying to get out, more than any other nation in the world.   Christians fleeing from the persecution of a monarchy is what settled this nation and formed the very document that set us apart from other nations.   So love us or hate us,
