Who Created That Monster?
Written by: Min. Tim Butler
Have you ever run into a proud, arrogant and pompous pastor who often makes you say to yourself, “Who created this monster”? Well I have. Several years ago, I had a pastor who would say things like: “I don’t answer to anyone but God”. Which really meant he [...]
Upping The Antics
Written by: Min. Tim Butler
With all of the foolishness that we see taking place in many of our churches today, I come to let you know that we ain’t seen nothing yet. As churches compete to build membership in an effort to boosting their prestige, I believe it will come a time in [...]
An Outcast For Jesus
Written by: Min. Tim Butler
We live in a day of “tell me what I want to hear”. I’m reminded of a particular story in the Bible when King Ahab desired to know whether he should go up to battle. He wanted to know his fait if he were to go to battle. [...]

Written by: Min. Tim Butler
(New York)
By now, many of you may have already heard that I was recently ordained to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. The officiating elder asked me how did I prefer to be ordained? I chose to be ordained as Elder or Minister because both of these terms [...]
Is Your Pastor A Performer -or- Entertainer?
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
What did the Apostle Paul mean when he told Pastor Timothy that the time would come when men will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they seek teachers who will tickle their ears (2 Timothy 4:3). I believe we are now [...]
The Improper Use of Faith
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
The word “faith” has been misused among so-called believers and, to some extent, has caused many to stray from the faith. What do I mean by this? Many of today’s false prophets are in some way or another affiliated with “The Word Of Faith Movement”. For those [...]
Corruption In The Church
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
(New York)
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter (Isaiah 5:20)!
I notice many of the preachers in the area in which I live (Hempstead, New York), galvanize themselves [...]
The Effect Of True Preaching
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
There are so many churches set up on many of the streets of America today. You may find a church on virtually every street corner or every other street corner of every block in many of our high crime communities. Why so many churches and yet still [...]
God Used Satan To “Set Us Up”
(Blindsided With A Curve Ball)
Barack Obama
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
(1 Thes 2:10, 11), Because man doesn’t have the love of the truth, God said He would send a STRONG Delusion to cause them to believe a lie. So thus, God set the world up with a man that appeared [...]
Has The Church Become The Pastor’s Piggy Bank?
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
It has
become a difficult time for Christians to continue giving of their finances to the Church in the old traditional way. We were taught for so long to just “give to we drop”. We have been taught to take from our own household, and [...]
America, Repent or Perish
Written by: Deacon Tim Butler
A negative economy has forced many Americans to question the fate of America’s future. Many look at the ongoing war in Iraq as a major cause of America’s financial woes. Could it possibly be that God is trying to get the attention of a sinful nation?
Did God foreknow [...]
Some preachers will go to any extreme to get people to dance and cut a fool in church today. They use extreme gimmicks to set up the atmosphere for ushering in fake praises. Some preachers play the guilt trick on their congregation. They will say things like:
How can you just sit there on God, after [...]
The Strong:
Christians have amazing STRENGTH unlike anyone else. When the rubber meets the road; when PERPLEXED on every side; when we have more BILLS than MONEY; when we are LIED on; when life seems to deal us an unfair hand; when friends turn their backs on us; when we are attacked by vicious preachers for [...]
Are you one of the millions of people suffering from the “After Christmas Woes”? What is the “After Christmas Woes”; well I’m glad you asked. The “After Christmas Woes” is an overwhelming, burdensome feeling that come upon a person after he or she has lost their mind due to the extreme pressure that the world [...]
How shall people call on God in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher (Rom 10:14)?
We wonder why so many so-called Christians are living immoral lives. We wonder why so many so-called Christians are loving the [...]
