The website logo for Anointed Christian Links
“A blessing from God’s Pockett”? Yes, Pockett is spelled correctly. For sixteen years (an eon on the Internet!) Australian Graham Pockett has been running and editing his website, Anointed Christian Links (ACL). ACL is an alphabetical listing of “well over 2,500 non-commercial [Christian] sites,” many of which, in Pockett’s opinion, “could give you weeks, or even months, of browsing.”
All these sites are submitted by their respective owners and representatives, but Bro. Graham personally visits [click to continue…]

Sometimes, with the help of volunteer transcribers, we are blessed to be able to share Percy Gutteridge’s messages in written form. So it is with the most recent message from our Grains from Gutteridge podcast. Percy’s daughter-in-law (one might better describe her as an “adopted daughter”), Ann Gutteridge, labored long and lovingly to give us a transcript of Our Great Savior God, which Denise and I have edited and annotated.
You’ll find the article, Our Great Savior God, over at the FinestOfTheWheat.org website, where Ann also contributed another transcript for one of last year’s articles–The Supernatural Character of New Testament Christianity.

Show Notes for Kernels of Wheat Episode 002: 1 John 1:1-4
Teaching and Bible study notes by Jim Kerwin
Review from last week:
- Fellowship and koinonia.
- How would your life be different if you lived in unbroken, moment-by-moment fellowship with the living God?
What was God’s original intention? What was His end-goal?
- Repentance, confession, salvation, New Birth, sanctification, filling with the Spirit–all are necessary, all are commanded, but all are remedial and corrective in nature.
- What was God’s intention for us if there had been no Fall, no sin?

Show Notes for Grains from Gutteridge Episode #2:
Our Great Savior God, a message by Pastor Percy Gutteridge
In this message titled Our Great Saviour God, Pastor Percy Gutteridge draws from Titus 2:13 and unfolds our Lord Jesus as the Great Savior God in His works of Creation. Viewing His handiwork, whether in the vastness of the multiplied millions of galaxies in the universe or in the tiniest lifeform of an amoeba, we stand in awe of His power and wisdom when we consider the Gospel’s declaration: “All things were made by Him….” [click to continue…]

Jerry and Dar Johnson of Christian Concourse Ministries
Three days ago I received a note from Jerry Johnson, a local minister friend, who holds his ministerial credentials with the Evangelical Church Alliance International, the same group through which I am currently ordained. He was kind enough to create a link from his website, ChristianConcourse.org, to the Powerful Poetry page on our original site, FinestOfTheWheat.org. (Thanks, Jerry!)
That got me to thinking about two reasons why you might want to [click to continue…]
