Welcome to Leaving Laodicea
The Survival Manual for the Coming Underground Church
Repentance or Remorse, Heaven or Hell
Last Sunday in church we celebrated the Lord’s Supper and focused on the need we have for self-examination. I know what you’re thinking, self-examination and the Lord’s Supper don’t seem to go together— at least not in my prior church experience. I remember all my …
542: How to Get Answers to the “How” Questions
In our educational system, the old adage goes, “Those who do, do. And those who don’t do, teach.” And the truth sometimes stings, but it is still truth. In college, for example, most of the professors who teach business classes, even on a graduate level, have never …
541: Connecting Narcissism and the Debased Mind
In Romans 1, the Holy Spirit reveals the three phases a dying culture goes through when God removes His hand of grace and allows a people to experience the consequences of their own sin. We have seen this unfold in our own country over the last 60 years. And …
540: We Have Asked God to Judge Our Nation
It appears we, as a culture and a nation, may have tested the patience of God one time too many. We have, for example, murdered over 60 million innocent, unborn children in their mother’s womb while the church has basically remained silent. As Ruth Graham once said …
539: The Timeless Wisdom of Oswald Chambers
One unappreciated gift given the church is the fact we have those who are older and wiser than we are to help guide our way in this life with Christ. After all, it is no merit for a son to make the same mistakes his father did. Each generation must learn how to make …
538: “What Do I Truly Believe About…?” Revisited
With every good thing, there is always a potential dark side, or the possibility of collateral damages or unforeseen consequences that often come with it. The blessings of rain sometimes come with a flood. And pain accompanies the joy of childbirth. Or, Newton’s …
Giving All of You to Receive So Much More
This morning, after a time of confession and prayer, the Lord led me to an entry in My Utmost for His Highest on March 8th. That’s right, an entry from 117 day ago. And it was exactly what I needed to cement what God showed me in my time of prayer. It deals with …
Day One: Learning to Hear His Voice… Daily
Today is the first day of a 40-day adventure. No, this adventure is not about a mission trip to Haiti or a hike down the Appalachian Trail. This 40-day adventure is a time set aside to discover more about the Lord and to learn, specifically, how to listen when He …
537: How to Hear from God Through His Word
One reason most Christians fail in their Bible study is the fact they have seldom, if ever, experienced God through His Word. Oh, they believe the Bible is the Word of God. And they believe what it says about itself, that it is “given by inspiration of God, and …
536: Evaluating Our Priorities in These Dark Times
If you look around at our culture, you can see things are getting darker for our nation and the church. We have experienced betrayal at the highest level of our government. Our elected officials lie as if it was a spiritual gift and are never held accountable. In …
Something About Us
This is a collection of the many questions I have struggled with and the answers I have found regarding the relationship between authentic faith in Christ and much of what is portrayed today as Biblical Christianity. Especially with the coming darkness looming over all of us, including the church.
Come with me. It should be a wild ride!
To find out more about us and what we believe, just continue reading…
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.”
Revelation 3:15-17
