Don’t Call God By Eddie D. Gillis t’s sems that when election time rolls around, two things voters are sure to hear, “send money so we can win this fight”, even though that candidate might be leading by fifty points, and God “is on our side” as you send the money. We know that there is never enough money to spend on ads even though practically everyone knows who is running and most minds are made up before votes will be cast. Nonetheless, there has long been a tendency for many candidates to invoke God because just by mentioning God, a cert...

God judges the righteous, and is angry with the wicked every day (Psalms 7:11). God is displeased with what is going on in the world. In many cases Sodom and Gomorrah is repeating themselves. Today men and women are giving themselves over to fornication, (Jude) strange flesh, (prostitution, homosexuality) idolatry, speaking evil of things they know nothing about, corrupting themselves with every evil work. Satan has taken over their bodies causing them to commit these uncontrollable acts against themselves and our creator God. We must pray...

Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. You have left “home”, your first love (God), and are now chasing the vanity of this world. You have taken what you've inherited and fled true security, to embrace a false sense of happiness and a false life. The glitter and the glam all look good for now. You may be able to afford price tags, but in the end, can you pay the cost? Thi...
