By Jason Storms When giving guidelines for eldership the Apostle Paul admonishes the church not to elevate a “novice,” someone young and inexperienced. Those untested and underdeveloped in maturity and wisdom will, according to the Apostle, easily become “lifted up in pride” and “fall into the same condemnation as the devil.” Young men desperately need […]
Men and the High Goal of Pleasing their Wives
May 12, 2018
By Pastor Matthew Trewhella When I was a young minister doing pre-marital counseling with couples, I did not speak about sexual matters except to remind them of marital fidelity – that adultery is sin and is punishable under God’s law with the death penalty. As I grew older, however, I began to realize I needed […]
The Greatest Troubler of Marriages 3 Steps for Men to Repair, Restore, and Reform their Marriages
December 11, 2017
By Pastor Matt Trewhella I have been a pastor for nearly 30 years now. I have married 84 couples and only six have ended in divorce (that’s way better than the national average)!

by Matthew Trewhella In 1947, Carle Zimmerman published his magnum opus — Family and Civilization — wherein he predicted that America would soon see divorce for any reason or no reason at all, legalized abortion, and rampant homosexuality.

That is the 64,000 dollar question of the hour. American Christianity has quietly, meekly, and wrongly – not to mention disgustingly – gone along with homosex marriage. I have heard from countless couples over the last year who have been told by their pastor or other church leaders that “unless you get a state marriage […]
The Roe v. Wade Opinion actually spoke to this Donald Trump caused a firestorm recently when being grilled by Chris Matthews of MSNBC as to whether there should be punishment for women if abortion is made illegal. Trump, who clearly never thought about this before, said what any rational person would say – “Yeah.” This […]
Egocentrism, faulty eschatology, and the neutralized American Church. Having been a pastor for over 25 years now, I write out of a deep concern over the state of the Church in America. If one was to look at Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, the Church in America today is stuck in Vanity Fair. There is a perpetual […]
The False Love Gospel
October 7, 2015
The FalseLove Gospel Continues to Deceive Millions and Further Corrupt American Christianity By Pastor Matt Trewhella American Christianity has lost its way. If you think otherwise, it is only because you are carried away with the delusion that pawns itself off as “Christian” here in America. A short reading of Scripture and church history reveal […]
Does Anyone Finish the Race Anymore?
October 6, 2015
Ed Dobson, pastor emeritus of the mega-Calvary Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, is the latest older Christian man I have watched apostatize. This past weekend, on January 4 th, 2009, Dobson, with beaming face, proudly told the world on ABC’s Good Morning America that he voted for Barack Obama. You can see the whole sorry […]
