Happy Days Are Here Again

Hallelujah!  I'm going to be RICH!

Don't you just love those prosperity messages?  I mean c'mon, the Bible says my barns are going to be filled with plenty...so it must be true, right?

Remember, just because everyone believes something is true, doesn't make it truth.

The "Prosperity" message draws a lot of folks to the church.  It also drives a lot of folks away from the church...when the "promise" of wealth (or anything else for that matter) is unfulfilled.

The scriptures are typically taken out of context.  Almost without exception, there is a condition. i.e. the previous verse says, "Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:"  If you don't "honor" God, he won't fill your barns.  Or, Malachi 3:10, where God says to bring all the tithes into the storehouse...and he will pour out a blessing so much you can't contain it all.  If you don't "tithe," well... 

"Tithing" is not giving ten percent to the church...it's setting aside ten percent for God's work; whatever that is and wherever he directs.  It's a matter of the heart, not the head.  Until you're faithful in the little things, you won't get the big things.  Just sayin'

Make no mistake, God doesn't want his kids to be poor (poverty does not glorify God); but there's a right way and a wrong way to do everything...finances are no exception.

God laid out principles for us to follow for health, wealth and happiness and he is faithful to provide and protect

He will fill your barns with plenty and your presses will burst out with new wine...but only if you follow the principles laid out in the Bible. 

Life and blessing are the reward for obedience; but you won't obey God until you know, without a doubt, God is real. 

Until then...nothing else matters.

There's A New World Coming

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Be Careful Whom You Choose To Follow

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom

A Part or Apart?

By Ray Evans • May 7, 2020
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

The $64,000 Question

By Ray Evans • May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
