Doomsday 2011


By now I am sure you have heard that a group from California has been insisting that today would be the end of the world. Once again, sincere believers have lost the art of living a balanced life and faith. Of course this is not the first time this minister has made such a prediction, his first public time was 1994.

To me, the sad part is that these type of predictions give ample ammunition to heathen commentators and pagan philosophers to make light of the reality of the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. I DO believe Jesus will return in the clouds to catch His church away, but I don't believe it will be in this media-hyped way. He will come as a "thief in the night."

The more pressing question for anyone should be the condition of their own relationship with God. Today will come and go, and the rapture will not take place...however, I can give you a 100% guarantee that death is coming. We will all, great and small stand before the Lord to give an account for our lives. The question? That's simple, too. You will give the account of whether you have accepted the ONLY way to heaven.

It is appointed unto man once to die, and after this judgment will come. You will be saved or you will be lost.

Some think you guess at the outcome, but the Bible clearly teaches that you don't have to be afraid, and that you can KNOW FOR A FACT that you will be saved. I would love to tell you how that can become a reality in your life. For more information, please email me at: ecmckinley@gmail.com

Of course, our correspondence is totally private. May God bless you.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A question about your church...

This last few days I have been in the State of Kentucky. I came here with my wife, whose father was having medical tests as of the results of a probable heart attack. He seems to be doing well (as of tonight) and is scheduled for one more test, then hopefully he will be released and further treatments to bring him to health. While this is a scary moment for my wife's family it has also been a time to step away from the daily work and observe others around us. Since Debra's father is a pastor (Church of God of Prophecy, Central City, KY) there have been visits from the State Presiding Bishop, Scott Gillum, area pastors and of course some of his church members. It is heartening to watch the love and concern that is show by those visiting. There has also been quite a few of Debra's extended family here, along with her younger brother and his family. I've watch the nurses and technicians at the Owensboro Medical Center demonstrate concern and what seems to be good care...

On my way to a resurrection

Someone asked, "Are you on your way to another funeral?"  My answer was, "No, I am on my way to a resurrection."  Tonight, after having preached my sister's funeral, two church members funerals and visiting a friend whose brother had passed away, I had a little quiet time in my home office.  As I often do, I reach for an old book  I've found that some books written long ago can speak to my heart.  This time, it was a book published in 1946.  This passage from J.B. Chapman touched my heart, hope it does yours too.  Victor Hugo exclaimed, "The frosts of seventy winters are on my head, but the springtime of eternal youth is in my heart." "Sometimes we look at the gray hair of a ripening saint, and say, "Old man, the frosts of many winters are on your head."  But he answers, "That is not frost.  I am getting ready to wear the crown of life, and my hair is taking on tint agreeable to the color scheme."   We say, "Ol...
