Faithfulness In Sufferings: the Greatest Miracle


 A dear lady from a church that I used to be a part of, got fatally ill a little over a year ago. She was one of the most hospitable, one of the sweetest people that you could meet, and now she lives in constant weakness, without any natural hopes of getting better. She suffers… But she suffers faithfully.

As her life was a Christian testimony to many, her faithfulness in suffering is even a greater testimony to Christian faith and to God whom she serves. Yes, it is unfair that such a good person suffers. She does not deserve it. If anyone deserves supernatural healing, it is her.

Social Darwinism, Capitalism, and Progress


Evolution was not Darwin’s original idea; it existed long before him. Neither did he come up with the phrase ‘survival of the fittest.’ Darwin’s achievement was combining these ideas to provide an explanation for a mechanism that drives human evolution. The idea of survival of the fittest, which Darwin applied to biology, was earlier used by economists, who argued for free trade economy. Continue reading →

St. Nick’s Tears


St. Nick

Merry Christmas to you all, my friends.

Unfortunately, in our culture we had reversed the meaning of the holiday. In the secular sphere, we went from St. Nicholas to Santa Claus, from an example of a humble, Christian servant to a big old man in a red suit who meets our needs. Even more sadly, we had experienced the same conversion in churches: we went astray from the Lord Jesus, the Suffering Servant, the Redeemer, the ultimate demonstration of love; instead we invented a Jesus who is nothing more than a convenient vending machine, always ready to meet our desires.

In memory of Pastor Billy Joe


Billy Joe

Pastor Billy Joe stepped into eternity. He was a very humble man. We may have criticized him in our theological differences. But all of us respected him as a person. He wanted to present the gospel to as many people as possible. He was not the head of the church and Victory will be fine, but the global Church had lost a humble minister of the gospel. Now he is gone and we are saddened. But we do not lose heart because we have the hope of Ressurection. We all look to the place when we will not have our differences, but as one Body of Christ, as His Bride we will be with Christ and see Him as He is! We progress through our earthly journey with that hope!!! May the peace of God and comfort of Resurrection be with the Daugherty family and the Victory Christian Center parish.

N.C. Church Plans Bible Burning


This is sad and horrifying. The Amazing Grace Baptist Church (AGBC) pastor thinks he is doing something great for the kingdom by getting rid of the “heretics,” but, unfortunately, he is unaware of his own heresy. This act will add another peg into the Body of Christ, to divide it even more. The KJV Bible that AGBC holds at high esteem states in Gal. 5:12: “I would they were even cut off which trouble you.” More recent Bible versions give a more specific, and more disturbing (in a good way) translation, but KJV statement fits the situation very well. I wonder if the AGBC pastor has thought of this passage yet? Hmmm…
