Science, Religion, and the End of the World

2010-01-22T13:06:00.000-08:00

Sacramento, California - January 14, 2010.

From 1997 to 2000, a group of theologians and scientists explored the question of what science and theology, both separately and together, say about the end of the world and the universe. Their conclusions are interesting, and the degree of agreement is somewhat surprising.
Science and theology first agree that it is considerably easier for both to speak of the beginning than of the end. The reason for this is that “beyond as before” doesn’t bother us in the same way as “beyond that is the end.” Although attention is given to beginnings, not much effort is exerted to discover what is before “the beginning.” In contrast, the end, or the ...

"The Fury of Jesus" by Dr Nathaniel J Wilson concludes with the incredible revelation of the epic and cosmic struggle of Christ. Isaiah 63 and Psalm 22 reveal His last moments of life before, on, and then after the cross. He is alone, forsaken, FURIOUS and yet determined to drink from the bitter cup, get bloody, and DIE. Christ emerges confident, focused and VICTORIOUS! He is the Ultimate Warrior and Conqueror of EVIL. His clothes are stained from the blood His enemies and from His own hands, feet, and side. How could we not worship Him? He put His life on the line for you and for me, emerged the Victor, and LIVES FOREVER.

Dr Nathaniel J Wilson - The Lord's Prayer Series: Forgive Us Our Debts Part 2

2009-11-11T00:00:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Wednesday Morning. We went over this portion of the The Lord's Prayer a little too fast so we will slow down a bit to expand more about forgiving and moving on with our lives. We all have situations in our lives that have devastated us or we may have been hurt by someone or something. This is part of life, we all have our own experiences, but we know when we turn to Our creator, Our Heavenly Father and the Word of God, these things are soon brought into perspective and we allow ourselves to live again safe in the arms of Jesus... forgiveness works ONLY if we allow ourselves to be forgiven. If you feel that you are too dirty to give your life to God... then you are a prime candidate to be thoroughly WASHED in the Blood of the LAMB. His Blood washes away all sins, ALL SINS! It will feel so good, trust in Him today.

As the weather changes and it is starting to get colder outside, Bro Wilson is excited about the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Family, Food, and Fellowship! Yet, all this can be spoiled if we haven't prayed and Forgiven those that trespass against us. Ahh, the grudge that we hold may own us no matter where we go. It is time to release those that have offended us even as we NEED those to forgive us that WE trespassed against. Did you gather your daily cookie this morning? Eat your manna... it's good for your soul.

Dr. Nathaniel J. Wilson - The Lord's Prayer Series: Magnifying God

2009-11-03T00:00:00.000-08:00

How big is GOD? How big are your problems? Have you compared the two? If your problems are bigger than the Lord, you may not have magnified JESUS in your circumstance. Start out each day exalting, blessing, and magnifying the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and Ending, the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings, the Author and the Finisher of OUR faith... something happens as you watch your mountains turn into molehills. Let's lift Him up today!

2009-10-28T00:00:00.000-07:00

Dr Nathaniel J Wilson Responds to the 2008 Presidential Election

2009-08-22T21:15:00.000-07:00

Nathaniel J. Wilson, Ed.D. Dr. Wilson is the founding pastor of The Rock Church in Sacramento, Ca. He is also founder of Apostolic School of Theology, formerly College at The Rock, author of several books, and full-time faculty member of Hope International University (Fullerton,CA). He serves on the Executive Counsel of the World Wide Pentecostal Fellowship and was speaker and director of Harvestime International Radio Ministry for the UPCI (1979-1981). He has earned a Doctorate of Education from Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Master of Arts in Religion from Vanguard University, Bachelor of Arts in Bible, and Theology from Christian Life College.

The election of Barack Obama is a historic crossroads for the United States. For some there are starry predictions of radical positive change. For others, predictions of dire consequences soon to come. The truth is probably somewhere in between. For the Apostolic, the main thing is to remember that God puts up and takes down, and that, ultimately, all remains in His hands. Politics is a strange thing, and of such complexity that extreme caution is in order in hastily drawing conclusions
Regarding elections, personalities, agendas, and such like. The magnitude of conflicting forces constantly at work create a foment that even the victorious politician can often not control. From things that look good can come unexpected negatives. Likewise from things which appear foreboding can come results which are positive.
For example, it is now a matter of record that the candidacy of Mr. Obama resulted in an extremely large turnout of black voters. This played a role in his election. If you were opposed to the election of Mr. Obama, you may view this negatively. However, it was this same black vote (70%) along with the Hispanic vote (53%) which assisted Proposition 8 (Marriage is between a man and a woman) to pass in California. One might ask, what is more important, the election of the President, or preserving the foundation of American society? Further, while the Republican Party touts “Family Values”, John McCain admitted to unfaithfulness ending in divorce and remarriage, while Mr. Obama is the one with the nuclear family.
Did I vote for Mr. Obama? No.
Do I espouse most of his policy positions? No.
Would I vote for a black man? Yes.
Would I vote for a liberal? No.
