Pulpit Masters and Heterodoxy “Anytime someone can stand in the pulpit and tell you what you can and cannot wear, and what you can and cannot do or you’re going to hell…” I walked into a group of 4 before service Wednesday night. Little did I know we would be discussing doctrine for the next 10 minutes. The First Person said that another had come out of the Apostolic Church. Immediately I asked, “What type of Apostolic? There are all... Read more
Rhema | Words of Encouragement Pre-service Sunday night is the time for one thing, coffee and conversation. It never disappoints. So when they were sent off, they came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter. When they had read it, they rejoiced over its encouragement. Acts 15.30-31 encouragement I have written extensively on here; posted a number of series; written pieces in line with the Content Team suggestions; interviewed people; had guest posts, etc....

Rhema | It’s OK We’ll Make It Granted, this post is from a Spirit-filled perspective. Have you ever heard the preacher preach, and you can’t really remember much of what was said, yet you had to respond to the altar call anyway? Have you ever shared “a Word” (Rhema) with someone else, and you can’t remember much of what you said, but it was exactly what they needed to hear? Over the years I’ve come to realize these occurrences happen... Read more
Political Banter | Jim Jordan No-Vote I take tonight’s post from some of my political banter with others on X today. Find me there @JaredIngle2022 Well, today was disappointing. 212 votes for Jeffries 200 votes for Jordan 20 votes for other people 217 votes needed to carry the election no Speaker of the House yet Everyone take a recess like you actually accomplished something and reconvene to vote later. I’m obviously writing from the Republican camp. Banter If not Jim... Read more
I took time to discuss Jim Jordan and Donald Trump with my politically astute sister, Carmen Ingle. They both are in consideration for the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Jared: Did you hear Trump may become the next Speaker of the House? Carmen: Yeah Matt Geatz nominated him but I think Jim Jordan might get it. Which is also a really good pick. Jared: Dad likes Jim Jordan. I don’t follow politics like I used to. I just think... Read more
Origen & Chrysostom on Darkness As I was praying tonight, listening to my 90-94 playlist, the Spirit downloaded a couple Scriptures so I looked them up. In my mind, the emphasis would be on the variance between darkness and light. I wanted to do a Word Study, but there are times I don’t get passed the thoughts of the Church Fathers. Origen But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you... Read more
Hear the Word, See the Solution Let me take the liberty to write devotionally, and somewhat personally, from this Passage. At times, traditional hermeneutics do not yield the same ramifications that a Passage may offer, just as a raw story. At times, the story applies itself, and this one has done just that today. When an attendant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, an army with horses and chariots was all around the... Read more
The Ordinances of Fellowship Acts 2.42-47 In this passage we have a snapshot of what the church should look like. It serves as a pattern and outline for the life of the local church. The Church represents the community of God on earth. The Church is not an organization as much as it is a living organism. We are members of the Body of Christ. The church is pictured here as a group of believers who are not only involved in... Read more
This is simply a collection of thoughtful, unrelated sayings, but then again, so is Proverbs. I was talking with a church leader who was asking me about my marital situation. There’s a real anxiety that this could turn out bad. Almost like a declaration he confidently stated: “God is still God over divorce. It’s not His 1st choice, but He is still Sovereign.” I am moving up the road. My General Manager is trying to get me transferred to our... Read more
Wednesday Through Sunday Night breaks upon us. Sometimes fatigue at the end of the day can be mistaken for weariness. One has to make a distinction between the two. One is the common reward of a hard day’s work. The latter is a condition of the soul. I have generally felt fatigue between Wednesdays and Sundays. Thursday through Saturday seems like a long stretch of time with a lot of work. If I become weary and weakened in the fight,... Read more
