Happy New Year to You All.

As I sit in my living room listening to the insufferable sound of exploding fireworks a few doors away, wondering why it is, at the oncoming of a holiday, (don’t make a difference which one), some yahoos have to start several days early, and have their grand-finale on the eve of the holiday?  I don’t know the answer, however, I do know that it is something I don’t look forward to, with the approaching holiday.  Christmas of course is history, I had a wonderful Christmas and hope that all of you had a good one as well.  I don’t look forward to the New Year, as there does not seem to be nothing exciting happening in 2012.  Some things will improve because it is an election year, and the present administration will do what ever it takes, to make us think things are getting better, however, the opponents will attempt to counter with their own ideology for their benefit.  What may appear on the surface to be a good thing, in truth, it is seldom what it seems.  Some of these rascals will

I have written several articles and blogs concerning, liberal theology, liberation theology, and some about the apathy of the Christian community.   During some research for a piece for my website, I found an article by John McArthur, concerning the “Lordship of Christ,” the subject prompted one of his books, “ The Gospel According to Jesus,” which is on my must read list now.   After reading several reviews, I am more aware of some of the problems facing the church today.   Salvation without the lordship of Christ, involves a tremendous watering down of the gospel and may well allow some souls to think they are heaven bound, and are actually going to hell.   And who will be accountable for that major blunder?   Salvation is a free gift of God’s grace, through faith in Christ Jesus, and the work He did on the Cross of Calvary. There is no condition or circumstance that allows mankind to earn, buy, work, or weasel his way into eternal life in the presence of God, without the grace of G
