Reformation Day!!

Happy Reformation Day!!

October 31, 1517 was the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenburg. Thus began the Protestant Reformation! So, if you are a Christian of a denomination other than Roman Catholic, you can thank Luther for making that possible. I…

Daily Devo #3

Nahum

1:3 "The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty. His was is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet."

Slack churches

I am so thankful God has provided a biblical church for my husband and me to go to each week. However, I know from experience that not many biblical churches exist. A famine has swept across America. A famine of God's Word being faithfully, honestly, joyfully preached and obeyed. America's situation is reminiscent of Amos' time in Amos 8:11.

Anyway, what I wanted to discuss was our problem with theology and doctrine.
