Fear is a big part of Halloween but an even bigger part of the Bible. Fear of God is mentioned over 300 times in the Bible. Jesus said to the people, “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of people. They can kill the body, but after that they can do nothing more to hurt you.I will show you the one to fear. You should fear God, who has the power to kill you and also to throw you into hell. Yes, he is the one you should fear.” (Luke 12:4-6) For years I struggled with the concept of being afraid of a loving God until I read in …..

The Apostle Paul warned the church in Corinth, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy?

Last month when I preached at the county jail the Chaplain sang the song The Old Man is Dead. The lyrics are: “Now and then an old friend of mine, I’ve not seen for some time,Will stop by and ask me where I been, What’s on my mind.They wonder why I’m not drinkin’,And still painting this old town red.I tell them I’m serving Jesus now, And the old man is dead And the man you see before you, May look a lot the same,I may wear the same clothes, And have the same old name.But you’re looking’ on the outside, If you could see inside instead,You would see a brand …..
