Calvary Chapel Of Lafayette, Louisiana

The events of this past week in Las Vegas should be a stark reminder to us all that we are living in the last days. As we see what seems to be the implosion of our society, we can’t help but believe that the Lord’s return is very, very near. But before He returns, things are only going to get worse until evil reaches its pinnacle in The Great Tribulation. But there is a way in which we can escape […]

During my years of ministry, I have gone to visit several people who were in the hospital on life support, and I have to tell you, it is not a pretty sight. As I went into the patient’s room, I would see them hooked up to all sorts of tubes and machines that kept them breathing and their heart beating. But inevitably in every case the patient died before he or she made it out of the hospital. Today we […]

In 1810, Taylor Coleridge was the first in modern literature to use the phrase “Achilles heel” when he called Ireland “the Achilles heel of the British Empire.” By calling Ireland “the Achilles heel,” Coleridge was saying that the nation was the weakest and most vulnerable part of the United Kingdom. As we will see in our lesson today in Revelation, the church has an “Achilles heel” too. And it’s one of the essentials components of our Christian faith. It’s our […]

A lot of people act as if Satan is omnipresent, and so he can be anywhere at any time. But that’s not true. Only God is omnipresent. So Satan operates from a specific location delegating much of his work to his hordes of demons. Where does he operate from? We can’t be sure, but in John’s day, he was headquartered in Pergamos. Today we will look at the church that was doing the Lord’s work in the very city where […]

The title of the message today is “Be Careful What You Pray For.” The reason we have to be careful about what we ask from God is that often He will answer that prayer at a cost to us. As we look at the Lord’s letter to Smyrna Church today, we will observe a church of believers who were rich in their relationship with the Lord. But it came at a cost. They were facing heavy trials and terrible persecutions. […]

Sonny James had a hit song in 1956 entitled Young Love. The chorus went like this: “Young love, first love, filled with true devotion. Young love, our love, we share with deep emotion.” You could almost turn that chorus into a hymn, because it fits perfectly with the way we feel about our relationship with Jesus when we first get saved. But if we aren’t careful to guard our hearts, that feeling is easy to lose, even when we are […]

Monday as the Great American Total Eclipse of the Sun took place, I flipped from one news program to another to hear what people were saying about the event…And all I heard was that it was “a great day for science;” as if science or scientists had something to do with making it happen. I did not hear a single comment praising or giving credit for the eclipse to our Creator-the Lord Jesus Christ. The reason being is that “men’s […]

When Moses was up on Mount Sinai, he asked the Lord to show him His glory. God answered Moses’ prayer, but He only showed Moses His back and not His face. The Apostle John was much more privileged than Moses, because as we will see in today’s study, John was given a vision of God, and it wasn’t of His back; it amounted to a full frontal view of the Lord. Today as we come to Revelation 1:13-16, John will […]

If you were to ask a member of the Kabalarian cult, “What’s in a name?” He would tell you, ”Everything!” Because the Kabalarians believe that the name you are given determines the meaning and destiny of your life. And they would say that if your name isn’t working for you, get a new one. I don’t agree that for most people their future is determined by their names, but in the Bible, names do often tell us something about a […]

Everybody wants to know the future. Many Americans use horoscopes, tarot cards, palm readings, and whatever else, in pursuit of the  knowledge of the future. But friends, as Christians, we don’t need any of those things to determine what our future will be. Now we are probably not going to be able to discover the identity of the coming antichrist in our study. And I doubt we will be able to nail down a date for the Lord’s return. But […]

Back in 1980, Chuck Smith, the founder of the Calvary Chapel wrote: “From my understanding of biblical prophecies, I’m convinced that the Lord is coming for his church before 1981. I could be wrong, but it’s a deep conviction in my heart, and all my plans are predicated on that belief.” Obviously, Chuck Smith was wrong. The rapture didn’t take place in 1981. But he was not wrong in his observation of the season in which he lived. He lived […]

Several years ago I had a man call me and he told me he was interested in joining our church, but before he did, he wanted to know what kind of ministries we had for feeding the homeless. I told him at the time we didn’t have any of those type of ministries, but that we would certainly being willing to support any biblically based ministry to the poor if we had someone to lead it. The man then told […]
