PASTOR'S PEN
But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak,

We Will Remember
I shall remember the deeds of Yah; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old Psalm 77:11 To God be the glory! Today, we meet in our new worship center. Ten months ago, on June 20, 2024, we began constructing our new building. Here we are today, thanking God for all He has done through the ministry of Grace Harvest Bible Church. We began meeting at Swift Creek Elementary in 2006 as a church plant. In 2008, we bought 6 acres at our current location, so in 2009, we met at the A

If?
And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." Matthew 4:3 We live in a time when the truth is questioned. According to a poll conducted in 2022 by Summit Ministries, most young adults do not believe in absolute truth. Only 42% of American voters aged 18-29 believe in absolute truth, while 55% believe truth is determined individually. In another poll conducted by the Cultural Research Center, 58% believe moral truth

Wailing and Gnashing
The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the fiery furnace; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matthew 13:41-42 Everyone born of women will live for eternity. Those who believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation will spend eternity in the new heaven and earth, worshiping God. All others will spend eternity in hell. All the agnosti

Hated!
And you will be hated by all because of My name, but it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved. Matthew 10:22 Hate is a strong word. Merriam-Webster defines hate as intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury. The only time that a Christian should feel hate is towards their sin as well as evil. The psalmist declares, “Hate evil, you who love Yahweh.” (Psalm 97:10) However, we should not be naïve regarding how the world

Streets of Gold
And the street of the city was pure Gold, like transparent glass Revelation 21:21 Have you ever wondered why the streets in the new Jerusalem will be made of Gold? Some Christians have such a distorted view of what heaven will be like. If you asked five people what will heaven be like, you might get five different answers. I found these responses to the question, What do you think heaven will be like? A garden with lots of flowers and hot, warm and cool pools to swim in. Bi

Abandon All Hope
They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might 2 Thessalonians 1:9 As long as the unbeliever is alive, they have hope. What is this hope? Most people understand hope as wishful thinking, as in "I hope something will happen." This is not what the Bible means by hope. The biblical definition of hope is "confident expectation." That confident expectation for a believer is the hope of eternal life with

Crushed!
But Yahweh was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; Isaiah 53:10 There is probably no one alive in America today who has not heard someone say God loves you. Some go as far as to say that God loves everyone and He would not send anyone to hell. While that sounds wonderful, it is the farthest thing from the truth. God is love but also a God of justice and vengeance. Paul, writing to the church in Ephesus, declared, "Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because o

Stairway to Heaven
And a roadway will be there, a highway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. Isaiah 35:8 Growing up in the ’60s, I became a fan of Led Zepplin. I owned every album they recorded. Their untitled fourth album contained the hit Stairway To Heaven. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs ever. Least you be misinformed this is not a Christian song. Aidan Schuttler explains the meaning of the verses. The first verse spends its time introducing our main ch

Swallowed Up
He will swallow up death for all time, Isaiah 25:8 A reference to swallow in the Old Testament refers to death taking someone to Sheol, to the grave. In Numbers 16:32 we read, “and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who belonged to Korah with their possessions.” However, here in Isaiah 25:8 we see something different occurring. God is promising that death will be swallowed up forever. This occurred when Jesus died and rose
