THE  CHURCH  OF  GOD  IN  JESUS  CHRIST
 United Through Christ, by Christ
 

By the grace of God we have emerged from the tumultuous year of 2025 and have been blessed to embark upon a new journey, in a new year, with a new attitude, with new mercies, realizing we are new creatures that have been given a new name, looking forward to a new earth and a new Jerusalem descending from a new heaven where God has made all things new, according to the new covenant documented in the New Testament.   With all of this newness God has so mercifully allowed us to

When we speak of an "ambassador", and as it relates to this secular world, he or she is one who has been officially appointed to represent his or her country abroad, or in a foreign country that is. Obviously, such a calling is not only a massive undertaking but it also demands a serious, sincere and contrite heart in order to avoid any suspicions or evidence of hypocrisy or misconduct. Otherwise, the message of diplomacy will miserably miss the mark and fail to come to fru

As we drive down community streets, we often see houses adorned with festive holiday lighting, seasonal displays of decorated trees of the evergreen family such as firs, spruces or pines, and people making the obligatory effort to project an aura of joy, kindness, cooperation and peace.   In many cases, the very same aspects of character that have been absent for the vast majority of the year.   Nonetheless, we’ve all heard the phrase, “reason for the season”   as the world a

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed Him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us.   And when He was come into the house, the blind men came to Him:  and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?   They said unto Him, Yea, Lord.  Then touched He their eyes, saying,  According to your faith be it unto you.   And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.  But they, when they we

Jesus Christ spoke both authoritatively and truthfully concerning our inescapable and thus inevitable encounter with suffering in this life. Besides, He was the forerunner as it was for-ordained and prescribed by God the Father: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. ” (John 16:33). Furthermore, Christ was judged by God the Father to suffer for the horrifi

With the seemingly unending amount of events that permeate our lives on a daily basis, these circumstantial incursions, both pleasant or tragic, tend to occupy our attention more and more as time goes on.   Of course, the presence of these events will always produce some type of reaction on our part, again some pleasant and some tragic.   For us Christians, Satan will attempt to manipulate either type of event to provoke a negative reaction from us, hoping to influence us to

Waiting is a huge part of our everyday life where sometimes we tend to get impatient, especially if it occurs several times a day.   We wait at the Doctor’s office, in line at the grocery store, on the freeway, fast food lines, on medical reports, sporting events and a host of other things.   Waiting can be exciting or it can be a challenge.   How we wait can determine the outcome of a situation for the good or for the bad.    For those of you who don’t know this, I recently

SALT IS THE CONDITION AND LIGHT IS THE MISSION: Unless one is truly and wholly sold out to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God and glowing Light, even a fleeting thought that one's consideration for such an awesome opportunity and privilege is merely wishful thinking. Let us be bold and courageous in our servitude by tirelessly standing guard over our hearts. During this age in such a world that we live in today, it would be just plan unwise and dangerous if we neglect
