    Investing in your Local Church

    What image describes your Local Church?

    Have you ever experienced the glorious architecture of a grande cathedral (like Notre Dame {pictured})?

    Even the grandest of church buildings — ancient monument of faith or contemporary construction of a multiplying church — cannot convey fully the glory of Christ Jesus or the grace received by so many members of that local church.

    Take a look at the investments of Christians in these seven churches.

    Today’s Summer Scriptural Rerun takes us back to the church of the first century

    How did these LOCAL churches look to the risen Christ Jesus?

    The NAME on your local Church

    • Have you seen these church buildings?
    • Should you see some similarity to the reputation of your own LOCAL church?

    The map from first century Turkey may seem irrelevant as you build your bigger building in this 21st century of these last days, but NOTE the INSCRIPTION of these seven churches etched in the New King James Version of the Bible.

    The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John:

    .. and the seven churches

    1. The Loveless Church
    2. The Persecuted Church
    3. The Compromising Church
    4. The Corrupt Church
    5. The Dead Church
    6. The Faithful Church
    7. The Lukewarm Church

    Which local church describes you and your investment in reflecting the Gospel of Christ Jesus?


    A May 31, 2021 Scriptural rerun of an original post from May 8, 2015
  • The Temporal Reign of Queens and Kings

    The Temporal Reign of Queens and Kings

    Today’s Scriptural Rerun from the first of a three-post series in A.D. 2013 only includes one verse, Genesis 1:2a from the King James Version; however I share much about the history of King James, sovereign forefather to the current queen celebrated today, 2 June, in the year of our Lord 2022.

    FYI

    • HRH (Her Royal Highness) Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Mountbatten-Windsor was born in AD 1923 (the same year as my deceased father)
    • Elizabeth became Queen of the realm when her father King George VI died 6 February AD 1952
    • Queen Elizabeth’s coronation took place 2 June in the year of our Lord 1953 in Westminster Abbey
    • The Queen married Philip Mountbatten in 1947 but did not adopt his surname as is usual.
      • Prior to 1917, royals did not have a surname and instead used the name of their father’s “House” for example, Tudor. – source
    • The Queen’s titles include:

    Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith

    People may address the Queen as Your Majesty or Your Royal Majesty.

    Careful when equating Jesus to a King or Queen of this temporal earthly realm

    When some quote Scripture, often King James will honored for his English translation of the BIBLE. READ MORE about King James and others connected with the early English Bible below:
