A Church without discernment is a dangerous thing. As followers of Christ, we must come to the point of maturity where discernment and righteous judgement are continually in operation. We’ve been conditioned to listen for these things coming from the mouths of church leaders, but have largely forsaken the responsibility to allow these areas to […]
Read MoreAs this political season in the United States is coming to an end, I’m seeing what I’ve known for a while to be true — people do not want to know the truth. What is most surprising to me, though, is the number of believers that actually despise truth.
Read MoreAlmost every believer will tell you that they’ve accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. We’re taught that accepting Jesus is the only way to salvation, and without this acceptance, we’re condemned to an eternity in hell. For a lot of people, just hearing that statement is all it takes to accept Jesus…
Read MoreAt the very beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, I knew that the Lord was using this time to, at the very least, examine the church. Honestly, I felt like it was more of a judgement & restructuring. I told my wife back in March that I hoped that this wouldn’t end too soon and that we, […]
Read MoreMy friend John just posted this on Facebook, and as soon as I saw it, I asked his permission to share it on my blog. It is a message that the church must hear & come to terms with. So, with his blessing, I’m honored to introduce you to my very good friend, John Miltenberger…
Read MoreEarlier this year as Covid-19 began to shake things up, my wife and I talked at length about how the body of Christ would be exposed in this. I recall saying that I felt that the rooftops of churches were going to be peeled back, uncovering those hiding under religion and separating church affiliates from the ones who make up the actual Church. What I’m seeing playing out in open view is that the faith community is shrinking drastically. I’m not talking about people walking away from Christianity, but people who claim to be of the faith, but are so lost in denial of how our faith is calling us to respond that they cannot see straight….
Read MoreIn Jesus’ life on Earth, He was 100% human. He was also, and is the Son of God. His natural identity was completely perfect and His heavenly identity was completely perfect. Each of these personas were different and they were also both right. Only one, though, is understood solely by divine revelation from the Father. […]
Read MoreWe see what we interpret as need everywhere that we look. Everywhere Jesus walked, He saw need. I cannot begin to fathom what it would have been like for Him, having the answer to every need and at the same time being rejected so widely by such needy and broken people.
Read MoreMy pastor tells the story of his college days, referring back to a time when he was, what I would call a bit less settled. He was well known on campus for his riff raff antics, making him a target for the local religious clubs. They were determined and competing to get him saved, and he knew it. He describes one of their rescue missions in one of the most clever exchanges that I’ve heard. I have to be honest, I wish that I had thought of this, but at least I get to be the one to tell it to you.

Hello, my name is Nathan Vierra. I’d like to take a minute to welcome you to my website and let you know a little bit about myself. I was born in Oakland, California in 1975. I enlisted in the United States Navy in 1995 and met my wife, Melissa, in the summer of ‘97 while stationed in Ingleside, Texas. We have now been married for 22 years. Our son Zion came 12 months after we were married. Five months later we moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where our daughter Natali was born a couple years down the road. Zion recently married Brooke, so we now have a wonderful daughter-in-law as well. I am currently studying at Christian Leaders Institute and I am ordained through Christian Leaders Alliance. I live with my wife and daughter in Kansas City, Missouri, where we are active members of World Revival Church.
