Blogging for Jesus

Richard D. Dover BlogGreetings to all of you who visit my personal blog site. This is where I share my heart, and hopefully at least some of the time, share the heart of Father  God, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Please understand my posts are my own opinion alone, and not necessary representative of the organizations that I represent. Also be aware that I am not a politically correct person. I much rather be biblically correct. So my posts may not line up with what the world has to say, or at times, even what it appears the Church is saying in America. I strongly believe the truth sets us free.

Articles on Judging

bible judgingArticles on Judging

Invariably when the topic of sin, holiness, sanctification comes up, the topic of judging comes up. Normally what happens is when a preacher speaks on the topic of sin there is always someone that accuses them of being judgmental or hypocrites. Invariably the messenger is attacked. One of the reasons for this is that there are plenty of people who do judge others in the wrong way. Plenty of people judging the hearts of others. (Apostle Paul said he does not even judge his own heart because he cannot trust his own judgment. ‘I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.’ 1 Corinthians 4:3. Only God knows the heart of a person.) Plenty of people who are hypocrites. Plenty of Christians who act like Pharisees. Continue reading “Articles on Judging” »

Champion Movie Testimonials-How Much is a Life Worth?

I have some questions for you. How much is a life saved from hell worth to you? How much is a changed/transformed life worth? How much is a hopeless life turned to being a hopeful life worth to you? How much are you worth? Do others have the same value as you? The right answer of course is ‘more than you can imagine’. But do you believe it? How much time, effort, money will you give towards seeing a life saved from hell, transformed, turned hopeful? Continue reading “Champion Movie Testimonials-How Much is a Life Worth?” »

Champion Movie Testimonials-One Person’s Story

The following story makes it worth all the effort and money spent by Seattle Open Door Church  to bring the Champion movie to a Seattle region theater. Because of our efforts the movie is going to show for at least one week. There is a reason why this had to occur. It wasn’t until after our last matinee showing of the movie did we learn why. Our Almighty God can arrange divine appointments.

Champion Movie Testimonials DVD

Multitudes of DVD requests
Seattle Open Door Church paid for two matinee showings of the premiere showing of the movie Champion. Sadly there was not the best attendance because of lack of marketing funds by us and the producer of the movie, good weather on a Seattle weekend, Joyce Meyer in town, and the Seattle International Movie Festival, we did not have the best turnout for the movie. BUT those who attended the movie were extremely thankful.

THE MAN

THE MAN

In today’s political world it seems that most Americans are caught up in the Donald Trump phenomenon. It would seem he is the center of attention in America. Many Americans are supportive of the man-Donald Trump. Just as many Americans are not supportive at all of President Donald Trump. The truth is he is just a man-a fallen human being like you and I. The more important issue is how Americans relate to THE MAN-Almighty God.  More important is how they relate to THE MAN-JESUS CHRIST. The Bible says He is fully God and fully man, and He is the only way to gain access to eternal life. Continue reading “THE MAN” »

THE MAN and Executive Orders

In the past Conservatives were concerned about the Executive Orders of President Obama. Today there are Progressives and others concerned about the Executive Orders of President Trump. The media is wrapped up in this current controversy. There are many with strong feelings on both sides of this issue. Some are willing to break the law and take away the rights of others to show their disdain.

What appears to be totally ignored is that there is THE MAN who is greater than any President that has issued many Executive Orders. The reason America and this world is in the mess it is in is because overall mankind has ignored the Executive Orders of GOD ALMIGHTY. Continue reading “THE MAN and Executive Orders” »

The Man and His Ten Executive Orders

Many in the past were concerned about President Obama and his executive orders. Many today are concerned about President Trump’s Executive Orders. The truth is any executive order given by a President can be revoked by the next President. They do not have full authority because they can later be revoked. Why? Because theses executive orders are not written by THE MAN-God the Father. Jesus the Son.

In the next few posts we are going to take a look at some Executive Orders by God Almighty-THE MAN. In this post we are going to look at the Ten Commandments. These executive orders can never be revoked. It does not matter if you agree with them or not. They are the final word of God Almighty. Continue reading “The Man and His Ten Executive Orders” »

The Man and His Two Greatest Executive Orders

As many are praising President Trump for his executive orders and others are totally fighting against his executive orders, we all must remember that there is a man greater than president Trump. THE MAN is the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus while on earth issued to ‘executive orders’ that no court can rule against.

Every human being is to obey Jesus two executive orders. However, without Jesus as your Lord and Savior it will be impossible to follow obey his executive orders. Continue reading “The Man and His Two Greatest Executive Orders” »
