Jesus drank wine at the Last Supper and we will drink wine with Him at the Marriage Supper of Lamb. Jesus said that He would not eat of the bread or drink of the cup again until it be fulfilled in His kingdom (Luke 22:15-19). He was speaking of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. Isaiah 25:6 is a prophetic passage about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which speaks of God giving us "wines on the lees well refined": “And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.” The key in understanding this passage is the meaning of the word, "lees". When wine is fully fermented, there are left-over sediments and dead yeast cells from the fermentation process. These are called "lees". The "lees" are removed in the refining process during wine-making. "Wines on the lees well refined" is what we will have together with Jesus at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. So be careful saying that all wine = sin or that drinking wine in moderation is drunkenness, because you are blaspheming Jesus and saying he sinned, since He Himself drank wine!

God wants us to stand in the gap and have active, living faith—"activist" faith—instead of dead faith, as the Book of James also teaches. "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin" James 4:17. Inactivity is also a sin. As Christians, it is our obligation and duty to stand for our rights, interpose for the weakest among us. Preached at Covenant Church, Spokane, WA with Pastor Ken Peters.

The list of "clean" and "unclean" foods from Leviticus 11, what they represent, and whether they apply to us as Christians today.

It's not enough that I was unlawfully arrested by the Spokane Police Dept. for exercising my first amendment right of free speech and religion. But even after a judge dismissed the case for obvious infringements of the U.S. Constitution, it only took 1 day for the city prosecutor to email my lawyers and make sure we knew that he plans to challenge the judge's decision and file a motion of reconsideration. It feels like real religious discrimination at this point by the city prosecutor's office. Even after I was lawfully vindicated in court last week and charges were completely dismissed, the city prosecutor indicated via email to my attorneys that he plans to challenge the judge's ruling. This is now bordering on harassment and is religious persecution by the city of Spokane, especially considering that the phrase, "religious loonies", was thrown around by the prosecutor about me and Christians in our community, while he was still in the middle of prosecuting me! This reveals serious political and religious bias and discrimination by the city of Spokane, and I have to ask the question why the city prosecutor's office is insisting on pursuing me this aggressively. Is it because they are concerned for the rule of law, truth, and justice? Or is it because the city of Spokane's prosecuting office thinks that Christians are "religious loonies" who need to be made examples of? This doesn't appear to be about a prosecutor looking at the facts, but one intent on throwing the book at Christians who don't agree with his viewpoint. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyWBSMf1QcA
