By Ken Blue “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. Romans 6:23. That most Americans are so far in debt they can’t see a way out is an understatement. However, there is a much greater debt accumulating that few know about or [...]

By Pastor Jason Murphy One year ago I took over as the Senior Pastor at Open Door Baptist church in Lynnwood, WA for Pastor Ken Blue who had started and pastored Open Door for 39 years. I can honestly say that I don’t believe the transition could have been any smoother. That is a testament [...]

By Ken Blue There is a teaching that causes great troubling of the mind for believers. That teaching is; not only must one believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation; he must also add repentance toward God to it. These are presented as two distinct acts. Thus the Believer spends the rest of his [...]

By Ken Blue “And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they [...]

Both were led by older ex-pastors who were [...]

By Ken Blue There is a vast difference today between fundamentalism and the fundamentals. Every believer should understand what the fundamentals of Christianity are and adhere to them. The two words have been so misused and abused by others that they believe embracing the one is the same as embracing the other. That is, unless [...]

By Ken Blue Perhaps the best example of “the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing,” is in the lack of coordination between the Pastor’s sermon and the music director’s selection of songs. Seldom do these two connect the music with the message. I have watched song leaders pick songs for the [...]

By Ken Blue I went to the doctor; I was feeling ill. He wrote a prescription for a little red pill. He said, “Take one of these, as pains begin; And if it returns, you may take another again.” I took the pills as instructed above; And in just a few months, we were deeply [...]

By Ken Blue Ezekiel 37 Israel has been scattered throughout the distant lands; Yet, retaining their identity amid the shifting sands. God has promised them, through prophets, visions, and signs, Restoration to their homeland in His appointed times. Ezekiel was brought to a valley and there made to sit down, And musing on the Word [...]
