State of the Church

July 20, 2022 • Jim Garlow • Psalm 33:12

“Blessed is the Nation Whose God is the Lord.” (Psalm 33:12) To the extent a nation follows God’s Biblical Principles, we reduce human suffering. To the extent we defy God’s Biblical Principles, we increase human suffering. Therefore, a government that seeks to bless the people of the Nation will always apply Biblical Principles. This does not violate the Constitution because the Constitution only bars government establishments of religion (e.g., a requirement that citizens must be a member of a certain religion.) ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1piacalbeiyja4rxdatsvxqpjzbb3kclm/view?usp=sharing

Sharing Your Faith in a Hostile Culture

July 20, 2022 • Barry Meguiar • Isaiah 43:10, James 1:6, Romans 8:28

In 1960, 70% of our population went to church. In 2020, it was 20%. Biblical worldview: Only 50% of pastors believe itOnly 20% of churchgoers believe it The people in our Nation are mainly blind. They don’t see the evil. 90% are lost. Therefore, they are blind. We have the hope! 70% of Americans are living in fear. The number is higher among Christians. Really? Why? It should not be when we live in faith. We should trust the Lord with our whole hearts. James 1:6 applies when we don’t do this because we are double-minded; we want to have faith, yet we give in to fear. This leads to unanswered prayer according to James 1:6. Over 80% of non-christians know a Christian they trust. Therefore, each can change our neighbor and it will change the world. Only 1% of us are sharing our faith. 90% are lost. 10% know God, and only 1% of 10% (0.1%) are sharing our faith. This is unbiblical disobedience to God. It is also selfish because we deprive the lost of the only true hope. Live for God’s purpose - Romans 8:28. We are all good, because we live for His purposes and He is good! How do we share our faith? Just love people and then follow the Holy Spirit to know what to say. It is that simple. Isaiah 43:10 - “Thus saith the Lord, I appoint you as My witness … so that you may know that I am God!” The joy of the Lord is our strength!

The Real Case for Marriage

July 20, 2022 • Jim Garlow • Genesis 1:27, Genesis 1:27–28, Genesis 2:18, Genesis 2:21–23, Genesis 2:24

Marriage was NOT an example from earth that God used to explain the relationship between Christ and the Church. It is the reverse. Marriage is a Heavenly principle that God allows us to understand on earth between a husband and a wife.
