Ordet 'reform' optræder 38 gange i regeringsgrundlaget. Men hvad er en reform egentlig? Hjælp til den brede befolkning Afskaffelsen af børnearbejde Den største reform af dem alle: velfærdsstaten Hvad så med den nye centrum-venstre regering? Finansieringen af reformer Ord skaber virkelighed Kan reformerne gennemføres?
I tirsdags fik Danmark langt om længe en ny regering, som præsenterede et regeringsgrundlag med en række tiltag – blandt andet gratis tandlæge og skattelettelser. I regeringsgrundlaget nævnes ordstammen 'reform' hele 38 gange. Men hvad er en reform egentlig historisk set – og for den nye…

Lessons I’ve Learned
Ecclesiastes 3:1 “For everything there is a season.” 16 years on GNCC as your “Pit-Pastor.” It has been amazing - God has been so good. But there is more ahead, and it’s time to turn the page. How do I know? Because God really does talk to his children! “My sheep hear my voice and I call them by...
-
The Rainbow and The Promise
The devastation across the Southeast is very sobering and our prayers go out to families affected. As we pulled the Team Faith rig into the John Penton GNCC, the remnants of Hurricane Helene were in force, though not nearly to the extent the southern states experienced. Afterwards, there was a...
-
How Persecution Begins
Being persecuted for following Jesus doesn’t always look like we think. As far back as the first martyrs, false accusations and made-up stories were the basis for arrest, interrogation, imprisonment and ultimately death. As the old saying goes, “The more things change, the more they stay the…

Can America Be Saved
Christ-less Conservatism will not save America. It’s not the Elephant, not the Donkey, it’s the Lamb! How should Christians be viewing the times, the culture (and the election) we’re living in? God judged his Chosen Nation for the sin of child-sacrifice. Will He not judge us? We come into this...
-
Ultimate Truth
How do we know it’s all true? Creation, The Flood, Jonah and the Whale. There’s one KEY in the Bible. If it’s true, then it’s all true! The Resurrection! Paul said “If Christ was not raised from the dead then our preaching is in vain.” Chapel service from Snowshoe unpacks the debate for Ultimate...
-
Marriage Supper
Andy Davis filled in at the Mason-Dixon GNCC with a great message! From Genesis to Revelation: God redeeming his special creation and will culminate with the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It was a fascinating overview of the Bible - informative, practical and applicable. (Recorded live at a...
-
Hall of Faith
We’ve talked about Samson and Jephthah the last couple rounds. They both made terrible mistakes and seemed to be poor leaders. We used them as “bad examples!” However, they BOTH are listed in the Hebrews 11 “Hall of Faith” passage! Why? How? Maybe we should examine “what is faith?” That’s what we...
-
On Purpose For a Purpose
“On Purpose, For a Purpose!” God outlined his plan for Samson’s life, yet Samson never fully stepped into it. God’s purposes prevailed, but Samson’s life was full of drama and disappointment. What lessons can we learn from the strongest man who ever lived? This was our discussion at The Hoosier...
-
Turn Right to Go Left
The Old Gray in Monterey, TN was the hometown GNCC race for Team Faith. Really cool to have Brian O'Rourke come out and share some stories - from botching the opening prayer at a jet ski race to winning gold at X-Games! There were some definite low points in between. We turn to Matthew 16 and…
more -
Swayed by Culture
How did the crowd miss that Jesus was The Messiah? They started out so good: “Hosannah!” But within a few days, “Crucify him!” Jesus came to fulfill a promise God made way back in Genesis, yet the people assumed he was there simply to defeat Rome. When we make up a god in our own image, culture...
-
Discerning Truth
4 years ago, the world shut down. Churches too! In hindsight sight, many pastors wished they hadn’t shut down at all. And others, namely those who latched onto the out-of-context “love your neighbor” theme - have gone wholesale into deception/gay-affirmjng. Does God’s Word have anything to say...
-
Free From Sin
Last week during the “Not Ashamed” message, I made the statement that “Jesus came to set us free from the penalty of our sin AND the dominion of our sin.” Yet, so many times it seems that even as Christians, we are dominated by sin. How can that be? What do we do? Is there escape?! Of course! We...
-
Not Ashamed!
Romans 1:16 says “I am not ashamed of the Gospel.” But what does that mean? Die for the Good News? Sure. But Paul also demonstrated in that passage how to stand for truth in a culture that denied Ultimate Truth. Welcome to Round 1 of the 2024 GNCC Season!
-
Israel & Jesus
Hamas attacks Israel. Israel responds. Protests erupt. Is this Biblical? Apocalyptic? How should a Christian view Israel? How should we respond? All good questions, but there is one “question behind the question” that must be answered: “Why did Jesus have to die?” Seems unrelated! Give a listen…
more -
Courage
Chapel from The Buckwheat 100. We talked about courage and looked at an obscure Old Testament king, Jehoshaphat. He’s actually a model of what NOT to do! But there was a prophet who is part of his story, Micaiaha, who was bold without reservation and did not care what other people thought. That’s...
-
Sound of Freedom
“The Sound of Freedom” movie was released this past summer - it’s the true story of Tim Ballard who quit his job with Dept of Homeland Security to pursue a sex trafficking ring in S. America. At the end of the movie, statistics were given stating that the USA is a top destination for child sex...
-
True North
The earth’s magnetic field is actually not at true north! Depending on where you are on the globe, it’s off by a few degrees. Much like our culture, it also changes! (By about 50km/yr) As Christians, the Word of God is our True North - but there are things pulling at the compass needle that can…
more -
Purpose in the Pain
“Purpose in the Pain” was the message for the Mason Dixon GNCC. It’s a tough topic! Life is hard and often unfair. Where is God? Does He know? Does He care? I can assure that not only does He see our suffering but He USES it to bring us even closer in relationship with Him…if we let it! Tune in…
more -
Mistaker
I’m a ”mistaker!” I do dumb things all the time! Will that keep me out of Heaven? Or is there something more? A young man asked Jesus a similar question. It’s the story of “The Rich Young Ruler” in Matthew 20. We discussed at the (very muddy) John Penton GNCC.
-
Resurrection
The difference between Christianity and 40,000 other belief systems (religions) is that only Christianity can claim proof that it IS the way. And that is through a resurrected Savior - something only God could do! But how do we know the Resurrection happened? Couldn’t it just be a myth, passed…
more -
Snake on a Pole
John 3:16 is probably the most recognized Scripture reference, although many people do not know what it actually says. Nonetheless, many athletes use the number 316 to point the way to Jesus, who gave his life so that none would perish. But did you know the context of the verse goes all the way...
-
Ancient Calendars
Ever since Genesis 3 there has been a Problem and a Promise! The problem is sin. And the promise is that the serpent’s head would be crushed! The way God brought about the promise is fascinating. Detailed to the very day of the Crucifixion, Burial, Resurrection and…Triumphial Entry! This is a…
more -
Killing Lions
The General GNCC Chapel: Honoring God in the little things, or “Killing Lions!” 😳 We looked at the parable of the talents (did you know a biblical “talent” of gold would be worth nearly $1.5 MILLION in today’s currency?). And then turned our attention to I Samuel 17 - the shepherd boy who killed…
more -
Honoring God
I Samuel 2:30 says, “I will honor those who honor me.” In context, there’s a bit more to it. We dig in at the Wild Boar GNCC Chapel and learn about honoring God in the Old Testament and honoring God now. There are some real life examples of people who honored God, refused to compromise…and God...
-
REVIVAL in America
A revival started in 1970 at Asbury College and swept across the USA! Ripple effects from that still affect our culture today. Is God doing it again?! How does that work? If we really are living in the End Times, won’t there be a “Falling Away?” Could it be BOTH?! Chuck answers theses questions…
more -
American Persecution
This is a follow up to a couple weeks ago when we discussed “Situational Awareness: Are you paying attention?” Here, at the Buckwheat 100 GNCC, we took a look at a current event and then discussed Jesus’ teaching on End Times and persecution. “Hated by all nations.” A lot is happening in our…
more -
Situational Awareness
There are so many end times prophecies unfolding before our eyes. One teacher called it “a convergence of the signs!” Although we can’t foretell the future, we should be aware as things happen and it should strengthen our faith! We dug into it at the Burr Oak GNCC.
-
Day of the Martyr
“If it’s true, it’s worth dying for. If it’s worth dying for, it’s worth living for!” June 29, 2022 was the 1,956th anniversary of the Apostle Paul’s execution by Emperor Nero. We took a closer look at The Mountaineer GNCC.
-
Is God Real
Recorded atop Snowshoe Mountain at 4,848 feet, the question was, “Is God real?” With spectacular views, it seemed the answer was/is obvious! Yet, there are still many objections: “What about evil? Suffering? Atrocities committed in the name of Christ? So many Christians are hypocrites.” We dug…
more -
Shipwrecked
Leading up to the Mason-Dixon GNCC, there were several shootings in the USA, including the Uvalde, TX tragedy. At the time of recording, gun control debates were raging in Congress, the media and social media. How do we live in this environment? Violence, distrust, opinions, overreach...does…
more -
Profane Fire
“Profane Fire” was the title of this weekend’s message at the John Penton GNCC. Leading to baptism, we studied Leviticus chapter 10 – which might be unusual since baptism isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Old Testament! However, Leviticus provides an example of how we don’t get to come to God on…
more -
Jesus Cursed the Fig Tree
Palm Sunday message at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC! During the week leading up to the crucifixion, Jesus was hungry, saw a fig tree, went to it for some figs but there were none. He said, “May no one ever eat of you again” and the tree died! Mark said it wasn’t the season for figs. So what was…
more -
For Such a Time
Seems the world is in a tailspin! The typical response is “Ain’t got a chance!!” But there are a few people saying, “For such a time as this.” That term comes from the Book of Esther. She was put in a precarious situation that took courage and wisdom - very applicable to our lives today. We…
more -
Armor of God
One of the COLDEST chapel services we’ve done! But people still came out! We discussed “The Armor of God” from Ephesians 6. Admittedly, my view of this passage has been skewed by cliché analogies. However, when digging in and REALLY looking at it - the Apostle Paul was brilliant!
-
Living in the End Times
This meassage was delivered March 5, 2022 as Russia was actively invading Ukraine. The news captivated (and continues to captivate, at the time of this posting) the world. As a Christian, a couple questions come to mind: 1) What do we know and 2) What do we DO? We certainly feel helpless, but God...
-
Lessons from Jeremiah
Too often, we want to insert our lives into the Bible! Yet, the Word of God is living and active - it can speak for itself and is applicable to us. Therefore, we need to insert the Bible into our lives! We see the chaos and bad decisions around us. How should we live? Jeremiah lived in a time of...
-
3 Kings of Orient
The story of the wisemen has been embellished and expanded over the years. That’s okay! The birth of the Savior is a story that should be told, retold and romanticized. But what is fact? What is fiction? And is there anything still to be learned? We are 1/2 way through the GNCC winter break and...
-
Prophecy Puzzle Pieces
During the 2021 GNCC Race Season, we have studied a lot of prophecy! But how does it all look when the puzzle is put together? What can we learn? Join Chuck Lemaster at the Ironman GNCC race and find out how Dueteronomy 28 fits with Ezekiel 37, Daniel 9, Matthew 24 and more! Are current events...
-
Gog Magog War
Ezekiel 38 is a little bit like reading a weather report. Imagine getting the bulletin, looking to the horizon and seeing the storm clouds you just read about! We don’t know everything, but there is enough in this passage that we should take heed and pay attention to the coming “Gog Magog War.”...
-
The Rapture
Pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib…all these weird names for when the rapture MIGHT happen! And what is the rapture, anyway? And “Tribulation?!” Lots to cover! Chuck puts all this in its proper, Biblical context at the Burr Oak GNCC Chapel service. The discussion revolves around what we do know and...
-
Counter Cultural
Christians have been persecuted and killed since the 1st Century. Why? “Love your enemies, pray for those who persecute you.” Doesn’t seem too threatening! Yet, at the core, God’s principals are so counter-cultural they are indeed revolutionary! His Word - The Bible, has shaped and changed my...
-
The Con
Jesus warned that in the last days, there would be a falling away. We are certainnly seeing that in modern times. But what makes a person who professes Jesus is Lord to NOT maintain that core belief? That is the question we walked through atop beautiful Snowshoe Mountain in June, 2021.
-
The Backstory
Sometimes it is the backstory that makes the mainstory so incredible! Samuel was the greatest judge and prophet to ever guide ancient Israel. But he should not have been! His backstory should have ruined him. Yet God... God had a plan and a purpose! Samuel's mother obediently delivered him into...
-
John Penton GNCC Baptism 2021
John the Baptizer came on the scene baptising people for "repentance and forgiveness of sins." Then Jesus came along and wanted John to baptize him. Yet, Jesus had never sinned! So why did he need to be baptized? Afterward, he was led into thee wilderness to be tempted by Satan. Is there a...
-
Oil in the Lamp
Jesus talked about the End Times, Abomination of Desolation, putting oil in the lamp...unusual subjects! Yet, there is meaning and we are seeing "signs of the times" today. We should understand what He was talking about - and so this episode digs into Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Chuck shares his...
-
And Then the End Will Come
During this season, we’ve been studying some prophecies in the Old Testament and seeing how they came true. But what about future things yet to happen? When will the end actually come? Jesus’ disciples asked that very question. Although Matthew 24 can be confusing (some signs were related to…

Dry Bones
"And he said to me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?' And I answered, "O LORD God, you know.'" ~Ezekiel 37:3 We looked at this passage at the Camp Coker Bullet GNCC. It's a fascinating passage! Even more so when you understand the context, what it means and how it came true! There is only one...
-
Leftover Stew
Chapel service from Washington, GA - The General GNCC. What do King Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan and the Civil War have in common? Tune in and find out! God has been faithful through the ages and His purposes prevail!
