In His Service vs. Lip Service

Scripture Reading: Mark 7:1-9

The populist cry of the American Revolution was "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."  Fast forward to the present time and we can witness a complete reversal. Treason within church and state has become as commonly accepted as watching TV.  Both ironically call good evil and evil good. Resistance to God is obedience to tyrants. Too many of our people have lost the Spirit of '76 in standing up against evil and the church world doesn't know how or even why it should obey God.  They don't know what to obey.  Thomas Jefferson said, “I prefer dangerous freedom to peaceful slavery.”  Orwell picked up on that idea in his mythical totalitarian state, whereby freedom is slavery, war is peace and ignorance is strength.  The thing is it’s not a myth anymore.

The mind-numbing process to substitute God's sovereignty with pious paganism or self indulgent morality is in plain view.  In fact, the adversarial façade of a vicarious manifestation of Christianity can be too obvious for most people to detect.  Audacity is taken to extreme limits.  All that is seen is the whited sepulcher and not the soup of vile remains inside.  The Big Lie grows exponentially.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic

by Pastor Don Elmore

Part 1:  This song became the best-known song of the Union Army during the war, and has come to be a well-loved American patriotic anthem; even though the theological and political meaning of the song is not only anti-Christian, but also humanistic.

Part 2: The background of Julia Ward Howe and her motive for writing"The Battle Hymn of the Republic" is discussed.

Bible Study Notes: "Fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant"

Pastor Don Elmore's Review Notes on

"Fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant Promise"

Bible Study Course written by Pastor Lawrence

Pastor Lawrence has written a great Bible study course that he gives to those who are desirous of learning about what the Bible teaches.  The purpose of the course is to develop and form a consistent biblical theology based on the examination of the evidence of the Old and New Covenant Scriptures through objective interpretation of what the Bible says and what it means by what it says. What is presented here are Pastor Elmore's notes of the first few sections of the course.  Pastor Elmore completed the course with several Judeo Christians, most of whom came to the realization of who true Israel is

This Bible study course has many parts and is currently under review by several Christian pastors.  We hope to make it available to you in complete form once it is finalized.

To Become Many Nations:  To discover the fulfillment and meaning of God's promises to Abraham to become many nations. 

To Become Kings:  The promise was first given to Abraham,  "I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you"  -- Genesis 17:6.

To Possess the Gates of Their Enemies:  According to Genesis 22:17, God promised to Abraham that his “seed” would “possess the gates of their enemies”; this means that His covenant people would  1) have enemies and 2) possess their enemies gates.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
