    IRS says that churches can endorse political candidates from pulpit
    The IRS said that such endorsements are like “a family discussion concerning candidates,” and are a private matter.

  • Believers, pray for the lost who will come to church today. Pray that the Gospel will touch their hearts and cause them to surrender their lives to Christ.

  • 1 Timothy 3:2, 7 (KJV)
    A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach...
    Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

    A pastor must be BLAMELESS. What does that mean in this context? There should never be an accusation against a pastor that can be proven or that he confesses. The most egregious of accusations is the one where he has committed sexual sin outside of his marriage. We have watched, over the past few months, how pastor after pastor has had to leave his pulpit because he sinned against his wife. We watched some of the most gifted and doctrinally sound men of this era confess that they were unfaithful in their marriages. Once they have committed such a heinous act, they are NO LONGER BLAMELESS, thereby disqualifying themselves from pulpit ministry FOREVER. It matters not how much they cry and beg for forgiveness. If they are sincere in their apologies, they will submit themselves to church discipline and sit down somewhere under some doctrinally sound teaching and accept the fact that they no longer belong in the pulpit. If they don't do that, they are arrogant and disobedient to God's Word. It doesn't matter who likes them or how much someone thinks they are such a good preacher. This doesn't mean they can't repent and end up in heaven, but they cannot go back and undo their sin, which means they are forever disqualified from the pulpit.

  • Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, June 30

    "And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them." John 17:22

    Behold the superlative liberality of the Lord Jesus, for He hath given us His all. Although a tithe of His possessions would have made a universe of angels rich beyond all thought, yet was He not content until He had given us all that He had. It would have been surprising grace if He had allowed us to eat the crumbs of His bounty beneath the table of His mercy; but He will do nothing by halves, He makes us sit with Him and share the feast. Had He given us some small pension from His royal coffers, we should have had cause to love Him eternally; but no, He will have His bride as rich as Himself, and He will not have a glory or a grace in which she shall not share. He has not been content with less than making us joint-heirs with Himself, so that we might have equal possessions. He has emptied all His estate into the coffers of the Church, and hath all things common with His redeemed. There is not one room in His house the key of which He will withhold from His people. He gives them full liberty to take all that He hath to be their own; He loves them to make free with His treasure, and appropriate as much as they can possibly carry. The boundless fulness of His all-sufficiency is as free to the believer as the air he breathes. Christ hath put the flagon of His love and grace to the believer's lip, and bidden him drink on for ever; for could he drain it, he is welcome to do so, and as he cannot exhaust it, he is bidden to drink abundantly, for it is all his own. What truer proof of fellowship can heaven or earth afford?

    "When I stand before the throne
    Dressed in beauty not my own;
    When I see Thee as Thou art,
    Love Thee with unsinning heart;
    Then, Lord, shall I fully know-
    Not till then- how much I owe."

  • Very good article, thank you, Doc

    Because the so called "churches" are government Owned 501 c 3. And when you try to tell people that, they will ARGUE and say their "preacher" is the best thing since sliced bread. BUT the Main thing is The people believe what they are Told, many only pick up a Bible to take it to their "church" . That is religion. NOT a Relationship... Many people don't know that you can speak to GOD anytime, anywhere. I have a Relationship with My Lord.... and my "church" is getting together with one or two others with LORD in our midst, Just as HE says in His Word.

    The God of This World Is Not the God of Heaven
    Most Churches Can’t Tell the Difference

  • Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, June 26

    "Having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2 Peter 1:4

    Vanish for ever all thought of indulging the flesh if you would live in the power of your risen Lord. It were ill that a man who is alive in Christ should dwell in the corruption of sin. "Why seek ye the living among the dead?" said the angel to Magdalene. Should the living dwell in the sepulchre? Should divine life be immured in the charnel house of fleshly lust? How can we partake of the cup of the Lord and yet drink the cup of Belial? Surely, believer, from open lusts and sins you are delivered: have you also escaped from the more secret and delusive lime-twigs of the Satanic fowler? Have you come forth from the lust of pride? Have you escaped from slothfulness? Have you clean escaped from carnal security? Are you seeking day by day to live above worldliness, the pride of life, and the ensnaring vice of avarice? Remember, it is for this that you have been enriched with the treasures of God. If you be indeed the chosen of God, and beloved by Him, do not suffer all the lavish treasure of grace to be wasted upon you. Follow after holiness; it is the Christian's crown and glory. An unholy church! it is useless to the world, and of no esteem among men. It is an abomination, hell's laughter, heaven's abhorrence. The worst evils which have ever come upon the world have been brought upon her by an unholy church. O Christian, the vows of God are upon you. You are God's priest: act as such. You are God's king: reign over your lusts. You are God's chosen: do not associate with Belial. Heaven is your portion: live like a heavenly spirit, so shall you prove that you have true faith in Jesus, for there cannot be faith in the heart unless there be holiness in the life.

  • To all George Floyd worshippers out there, repent! Yes, oppose racism. Oppose racial hatred. Love people regardless of skin color. But don’t attempt to do this by honoring a criminal, a drug user, who was apprehended in the commission of a crime. Yes, it was unfortunate that the police officer used excessive force on him, but Floyd was no hero. A good way to deal with the racial issue is to strive to make disciples of Jesus of people regardless of race, color, ethnicity, nationality, and age. And open your church to people regardless of skin color.
