Preparing for the End:  A Minister of Reconciliation
Wednesday, April 30, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (45.27)

  A couple of days in Nashville for the Gospel Music Association (GMA) and I feel like a new man.  And it had nothing to do with the music, the artists, the seminars, or even the six meals per day we ate or the 50 bands or so we saw.

No, it had everything to do with the Lord speaking to me about a ministry I had misplaced.  Actually, I had lost it.  He helped me find my lost ministry of reconciliation. 

And it has rocked my world!

Note:  This is a study of 2 Corinthians 5

The Revelation:  And We Shall All Go Down Together
Tuesday, April 22, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (49.28)

  Can you imagine being in so much pain and torment that you longed for death, prayed for death, begged to die?  Can you imagine trying to kill yourself, repeatedly, to no avail?
I can't imagine much worse than that, can you? 
Well, be warned, that day is coming.  And it's coming to all that don't have the seal of God on their forehead. 
Sound strange?
Confusing?
Why don't you join with us and listen...

Note:  This is a study of Revelation 9:1-12

The Revelation:  Remember the Disaster at Chernobyl
Thursday, April 17, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (44.38)

  On April 26, 1986 at 1:23 in the morning, the reactor number four at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant located in the Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine exploded.
Further explosions and the resulting fire sent a plume of highly radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area.  Nearly thirty to forty times more fallout was released than Hiroshima.
Do you remember? 
You should.  You need to.

Note:  This is a study of Revelation 8:6-13

Preparing for the End:  The Turnstile or the Super Highway
Monday, March 24, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (41.56)

  This is a small statement often neglected from contemporary Gospel presentations.  Just three small requirements that will literally change everything!
 

  "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must (1) deny himself, and (2) take up his cross daily and (3) follow Me."
Luke 9:23

Do you wish to come after Him?  Really?

Note: This is a study of True Salvation

The Revelation:  Lessons Learned from Y2K
Saturday, March 08, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (48.33)

  Most people scoff at those who bought into and prepared for Y2K.  Remember?

"Aw, it was a real non-event.  Much-to-do about 'nuthin."
"Just a money-making scheme by those radical survivalists types."
"Yep, sure shot Biblical prophecy in the foot, didn't it?"

Well, not really.  Care to take a listen?

Note:  This is a study on the Return of Christ

The Revelation:  Praying for Vengeance... with a Vengeance!
Tuesday, February 26, 2008, posted by Steve McCranie - (41.01)

  James says, the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  But, what kind of prayer is he talking about?

Just think, the prayer of Revelation 6 becomes the judgment of Revelation 8.  Oh, forgot what that prayer was, did you?

  "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
Revelation 6:10

In other words, party time!
Doesn't sound much like our Wednesday night prayer meeting kind of prayers, does it?

Note:  This is a study of Revelation 8:1-5

The Joy of Believing the Lie

“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937- )

     I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
     You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in the same sentence?  It just seems so wrong."
     And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
     True.  But wrong.

     Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.

     So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church.  Let me share with you, oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why I wrote Love Jesus, Hate Church.
