How a State Ministry License Limits God’s Influence in Christian Ministry

To seek a state license in order to work in the vineyard as God’s minister is actually a contradiction. Such a license is a contract between the state and the minister and replaces God’s law with state law when the two conflict. Seeking a ministry license is one example of many where churches seek to be controlled and censored by the state…even though the state could not exercise such control on its own initiative according the the First Amendment to the Constitution. Seeking such a ministry license or pastor license also violates the First Commandment by giving “strange gods” and their requirements priority over God’s law and his requirements.

Christians and Jews and Muslims, Oh My!

“The United States of America is the only country in history to have defined itself as Judeo-Christian,” according to JewishWorldReview.com, which goes on to say, “That is why American coins feature these two messages: ‘In G-d we trust’ and ‘Liberty.’ ” I think the first statement is untrue and the second, meant to distinguish us from Christian European nations, is a non-sequitur not logically derived from the first.

Why a Marriage License Application and Christian Marriage Are Incompatible

Asking the state to create your marriage according to man-made laws contradicts the First Commandment not to have strange gods before God.

A Christian marriage is a contract or covenant between a man and a woman and is governed by God’s law not state law. Recording a witnessed Christian marriage in a Family Bible is legally competent evidence of the marriage and valid for all legal purposes.

Choosing Among Churches For Your Family

America is a country of spiritual people, but regular church attendance is not often on the high priority list until there is another little soul to think and worry about. If your family is ready to seek Christian religious direction but you are not bound to any particular denomination, choosing among churches in your community can be confusing and difficult. If the spiritual upbringing of your new child is your main concern, here are some things to look for in Christian communities as you search.

Using Praise and Worship Hymns in Your Service

Far from being the enemy, praise and worship hymns can be your friend and add real life to your church service. But in the modern church, praise and worship hymns often overlooked as being too old and irrelevant to our congregations, but to do this is to neglect one of the greatest musical tools that we have inherited in the church.

Why Billions Of People Who Never Heard of Jesus Christ Will Be Saved!
