A Warm Invitation to Church

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Matthew 4:19 (And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.) “I do not care if you ever darken the doors of my church.” I would often say this to folks I am sharing the gospel with. My wife Jay did not like the tone of that statement and asked me to stop saying it. Tone aside, however, I mean it. I first said it to a person who accused me of evangelizing because I want more people to come to my church so offerings can increase. Our youth pastor lamented in a recent sermon, “We invite folks to a location rather than to the Person of Jesus Christ. That captures perfectly what I have felt all along. Too often, Bible believing Christians make it a habit to invite folks to a location. I decided years ago that I will never invite anyone to church without first tryin

DW, How Were Your Barriers Removed?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 25 Series: How Were Your Barriers Removed - 4 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 declares “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” If there was ever a person who epitomized the phrase “And such were some of you” it would be DW. DW was a fornicator and an enemy of God before he was “washed” and “justified” when he came to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. DW is a former Marine,

2020: A Year to Remember or Forget?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 21  The United States of America is in the middle of the aftermath of drastic cultural change. I believe 2020 was the climax that encapsulated this cultural change. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we look back at 2020 and look at some of the major happenings and put them in perspective of scripture. We discussed the death of NBA great, Kobe Bryant, the impeachment of President Donald Trump, COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Policing. We further discussed the presidential election, the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and the political divide in the country.   We ended the episode with call to be prepared come what may by trusting Jesus as Lord and personal saviour.

Praise the Lord for All He has Done

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... When Jay and I decided to start a podcast in the summer of 2020, we never imagined what impact it would have on our personal life. It has caused us to grow in the faith and grow closer to the God we desire to share more earnestly. Before buying mics, mixers, and recording equipment, we spent time in prayer to ensure that God was in this and this was not our own personal desire.   Twenty-one episodes later, we still did not expect the impact it would have in the life of others. After all, who are we, and why would anyone listen to us? But God has decided to allow our podcast to be heard in over 13 different counties to include: Sri Lanka, Romania, Netherlands, Singapore, Russia, Ireland, Italy, Australia, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. Most of our listeners are from the U.
