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...

Nika Holbert: A Soul for which Christ Died

Episode 35

In this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we discussed the shooting incident involving Nika Holbert and officer Baker.  Rather than focusing on facts versus misinformation, or even on who was right or wrong based on those facts, we focused on the human beings involved. Human life is precious. So precious, in fact, that God sent His only begotten Son to die for us.

In this episode we addressed the calloused comments made about Nika, the dangers of looking at the facts and neglecting the human being behind the facts, the cultural aspects that may lead to people like Nika, what things can be done to reach folks like Nika, and what she should represent to Bible believing Christians.

"Interracial" Marriage

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 19   The subject of “interracial” marriage has been a sore thumb in Christendom for many years now. Is the Bible silent in this area? Is it unbiblical or sinful for people of different ethnicities to marry? We sat down with Sam and Allissa to discuss their unique perspectives on the issue.    Colloquially, Sam is black and Allissa is white. They have been married for a number of years now and have 3 children. Learn more about their “interracial” marriage, their views on Loving v.s. Virginia, and their opinion on the past BJU rule against interracial dating.    We ended the episode both with a plea for the chu...

Have the Chickens Come Home to Roost?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... As a person who was born and raised in the Caribbean, I often say Americans do not realize what they have. It seems we crave for the failing policies of countries that cannot hold water to what the U.S. has accomplished. Why is that the case? Education, corporations, and many of our cultural norms have been heavily controlled by the political left. As a preacher once warned, if we keep sending our kids to Roman schools and we're imbibing everything Roman, we shouldn't be surprised when we all turn out to be Romans. This has been going on for a while, and now the chickens have come home to roost. Here are four things demonstrating this fact:   The prolific allowance of ungodly media and entertainment in our homes . Hollywood and other ungodly streaming and media organizations have be...

Salvation: By Works?

This blog has been permanently relocated to https://www.removingbarriers.net Redirecting in seconds... Episode 32 DW joined us in this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast where we discussed whether salvation is by works or by grace alone through faith alone.   We looked at a number of good works and searched the scriptures as to whether they are capable of saving us from eternal separation from a holy God. Some of the good works we looked at are: Keeping the Golden rule or the 10 Commandments Giving Money and/or Time Making Religious Pilgrimages Proselytizing Religious ceremonies Baptism and why was Jesus baptized We then explored the scriptures to determine if salvation is by grace or by faith. Are the books of James and Romans contradictory? Was Jesus proclaiming salvation by works when he declared, “I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat?”   What about the Old Testament? W...
