Put off Unwholesome Speech, Put on Edifying Words
Our words are an important part of our lives and should be used to build up and encourage others in the things of God. May God help us to guard our tongue and only speak would He would speak! James 3:6, “The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the…
Read MoreA New City to Come
Someone once asked me, “What does Metro Praise even mean?” It is a play on the word metro from the word “metropolitan” but it is not just referring to the metro/city areas of the earth, but the city of God- New Jerusalem to come (Rev. 21:10). And until this new city comes we are believing…
Read MoreWorship was Meant to Be Free and For Everyone
If worship for Jesus and the disciples was good enough with a hymn… what are we really saying in supporting the mass marketing and commercialism of worship? Matthew 26:30, “And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.” Now I know you can spend your money on whatever…
Read MoreChristian Charity vs Worldly Niceness

Despite what many think, anger is not a sinful emotional nor is it something unique to humanity. However, anger is part of the image of God in us and must be controlled by the Holy Spirit and used for the glory of God! EPHESIANS 4:17-5:20 “17 So I tell you this, and insist on it…

Things that I Mention Frequently, That I Hardly Ever Hear from Other’s Pulpit: ABORTION… is sin and murder. HOMOSEXUALITY… (transgender, etc.) is a sin issue and needs to be dealt with in the soul.
