Comfort one another with these words. How often are we comforted with the words of the rapture in our fellowship? The resurrection, whether of the dead or living, is the hope of the Church. It is the reward of our labor of faith and without a living faith for the rapture, without the constant nour­ishment […]

The post #7 The Rapture: The Bride Waits appeared first on Elisha's Outcast Eagles.

Forward by LeRoy Gardenier Religionists of any era “love the praise of men more than the praise of God”. John 12:43 In our Lord’s time, it was the chief rulers of the synagogues who believed on Him but refused to confess Him because they didn’t want to lose their jobs. It was as simple as that. […]

The post For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant – Intro appeared first on Elisha's Outcast Eagles.

Growing up in the Episcopal Church I was surrounded by regular church goers, sincere in their belief that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. We were all baptized into church membership; we all shared the liturgy; we all fellowshipped together; we all kissed the bishop’s ring upon our confir­ma­tion, did good works, and worshipped […]

The post #1 The True Nature Of Our Salvation appeared first on Elisha's Outcast Eagles.

God has clearly warned the Church not to think of herself more than she should, that blind­ness came to the Jews so there could be a time of salvation for the whole world. This “suspension” of time for the Gentile’s sakes has a pre­scribed end. In due course the Jews will be saved. Yet in […]

For many people, fellowship means going to church and listening to a sermon. To others it means gath­ering togeth­er around a table, shar­ing a meal, remembering good times, and looking toward the future with a mix of despera­tion and hope. To Christians, fellow­ship ought to be some­thing deep­er, howev­er, some­thing more purpose­ful and fulfilling, a […]

The post #3 Fellowship: The Sharing Of Fruit appeared first on Elisha's Outcast Eagles.

Few things, during the revival of our times, has stirred more contro­versy than the rekin­dling of the spiri­tual gifts. Citing both real and imag­ined abuses, some have preached again­st the gifts of the Spirit; others have dismissed them as emo­tional super­stition; and still others have gone so far as to say they are out and […]

The post #4 The Gifts: Given by the Spirit appeared first on Elisha's Outcast Eagles.

    Many churches and preachers preach the message of the cross. They preach that Christ left His glo­ry in heaven, shed His blood for us, died on the cross, was buried, and rose again to sit at the Father’s right hand, so we, sinful man­kind, could be saved. And we, as Paul did, praise […]

The post #5 Taking Up Our Cross appeared first on Elisha's Outcast Eagles.

The Day of Judgment is coming. Let the mocking movie, the scoff­ing co-worker, the doubtful religious man, and the ambitious politi­cal lead­er con­tinue to walk in darkness; the day of coming judgment is dra­wing nearer as we draw each breath. God has prom­ised that His only Son will return with armies of saints from heav­en […]
