As we look at the world today, and what is happening around the globe, we see so much hate. We see God’s people, both Jewish and Christians persecuted in every country. In England, a 57 year old Jewish woman was attacked by pro-Palestinian protestors while grocery shopping. In France, shops in a Jewish section of […]
As a Christian and a person who studies God’s Word, I am fascinated by the number of Christians who speak on God’s love, but refuse to acknowledge God’s wrath. It is as if the Old Testament and the Book of Revelation is not in their Bibles. There are also those who believe the God of […]
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

For the past year, the congregation at Calvary Chapel Golden Springs has been meeting on the first Sunday of the month for a night of prayer and worship. The prophet Isaiah said: “… For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations” (Isaiah 56:7). While God has called some to be […]

The Fourth of July is a very important American holiday. It is a celebration of our independence, as a nation, from a tyrannical king and country. The founding fathers and the people they represented were tired of the King of England running their lives. They had made great sacrifices coming to this wild and untamed […]
Many people in our country have lost perspective on what real human tragedy looks like and it is a national travesty. Americans are suffering both here and around the world. Many are losing their jobs and their homes, while others are in dangerous situations, as they serve in the military, serve the Lord as missionaries […]
Lately, I have been thinking about the state of the church and the mindset of the Christian leaders, the men God has called to lead His people. As shepherds, pastors are called by God to teach the people the Word of God. Paul said: Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent […]
