Delta's Evil Pricing Scheme

We had an experience this week which rocked our faith and trust in Delta Airlines. We have used them for a long time and have a credit card with them as our favored airline. We were planning a trip to visit my son in Tennessee. My wife had looked up the prices last week, and it was about $309 per person. She didn’t buy right away. We came back this Wednesday to finalize the trip, but found that…

Rejoicing in the Face of Persecution

Our Sister Church in India is now facing increasing persecution and resistance to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Even signs and wonders bring conversions and rejection!

Jesus is Our Sabbath

For an in-depth study on this issue, please visit The Scholars Corner. A New Covenant in My Blood Why was Jesus crucified on Passover and not Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement?  The Passover Seder was a Covenant Meal where the head of each household presided. It was not a Temple Sacrifice done by a Priest.  Jesus even told us that this Last Supper was a New Covenant in “my blood.”  As a…

We are not to cause division in the Body of Christ over what day one chooses to worship God. Jesus has become our new Sabbath and we find our Rest in Him.

The Irony of Atheism

There is an irony in atheism.  The atheist must posit the existence of God in order to not believe. In other words, atheism does not exist without the assumption of  someone or something to not believe in.  The formal definition of an atheist is “a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.”  To disbelieve or lack belief, an atheist must disbelieve or lack belief in…

He is High and Lifted Up

The Majesty of Our God Isaiah 6:1–5 (ESV) In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the…

A Theology of Rest

Ecclesiastes 5: 10 – 6: 7, 1 Timothy 6: 6-10, 17-21 July 14, 1985, Sermon no. 43, Ebenezer Pres. Church by Jefferis Kent Peterson A Theology of Rest It seems that wherever I have gone these past few weeks, I have been talking to people about the need for a day of rest.  Our Protestant work ethic has made  us feel guilty if we take even so much as one day off.   But in the O. T., the people were…
