I pray this morning’s blog finds you seeking after God during the middle section of the week. Since Sunday the world system has been active trying to undermine all that God wants to do in our lives. I want to talk about a word today that is seldom used but carries with it a profound meaning. The word we will discuss today is proscription. I pray that God will direct your heart this morning so that God’s will is done in our lives.
The word proscription carries an important meaning, and yet it is a word seldom used. Its simple definition is “to forbid as harmful.” In our day when anything with a negative connotation is disdained, the word proscription is not likely to gain popularity; but the truth it represents must not be disregarded or taken lightly. {click to continue reading…}

“How art thou fallen from heaven O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground which didst weaken the nations.” (Isaiah 14:12)
“Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there’s no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.” (John 8:44)
Lucifer went from being the “son of the morning” to becoming the “father of lies.” How did this happen? This is a startling and vivid picture of the danger of losing the truth. Before God created the world, He made the angels. Above all the angels were three archangels—Michael, Gabriel, and Lucifer. Each of these glorious beings had a responsibility to lead other angels in praise and worship and service to God. When God named them, He picked names with meaning. Michael means “who is like God?” Gabriel means “strong man of God.” And Lucifer means “light-bringer.” God called him the “son of the morning” or a morning star, which is very significant because that is one of the names of Jesus. (Revelation 22:16) {click to continue reading…}

Christianity without Christ is Boring!
II Corinthians 11:3, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your mind should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
The other day my wife and I were discussing the alarming rate at which we have noticed people dropping out of ministry and even out of local churches altogether. There are many excuses that people give for the dropout rate; however, I believe that much of it boils down to the fact that people are sick of “going through the motions” of a dead religion. How frustrating it is to try and start a car when the tank is on empty or trying to use a flashlight with the wrong type of battery. We need more people around to show them that Jesus Christ is alive! They need to realize the power of God living within them! {click to continue reading…}

RU in the Court System
We are continuing to experience good reports all across the country concerning those that are in legal trouble being court ordered to treatment and Reformers Unanimous is allowed to be one of those choices for treatment. One of our chapters in Michigan was interested in how to gain that kind of influence in the court system along with potential students to see this venue opened up for the benefit of their local chapter. The following advice is what we gave them. {click to continue reading…}
