HEART CRIME Acts 5: 3, 4 The one thing Ananias and Sapphira coveted more than money was the praise of men. They were even willing to give up a little money and take on a form of religion to get it. Barnabas sold a piece of land, they imitated; Barnabas brought the price of the […]
Numerous churches would describe themselves as “Christ centered”, and many preachers would describe their preaching as “Christ centered preaching”. While on the surface this may seem like a good thing, in reality it is not. The statement implies that Christ is the focus, and everything else takes a backseat to Christ. But that is not […]

There are many tyrants, and their yoke is hard. SATAN enchains the heart, and drags His vassals to vile service. They have no will; no […]

GOD’S UNSTOPPABLE GOSPEL Acts 4: 1-4 Let the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing, hold forth the gospel of Christ Jesus alone and declare boldly that all flesh is grass.
