Oh how marvelous – His grace towards us, sinners all. When it comes to repentance for salvation – Jesus is all inclusive. He will accept any truly repentant sinner of any vile stripe. You name it, He will forgive. But His is a limited grace. Don’t try to squeeze-by in His courts of justice.
Why suckling with the mother cat does not make the piglet a kitten
Scripture uses farmers terms. It calls true believers “wheat”, and fake believers “tares”. A tare is a plant that grows up with wheat, but is not true wheat.
Tares are like the piglet that suckles with the kitten’s mother cat. The piglet thinks he’s a kitten because he likes the milk. But he’s only a pig, not a cat. The same is true of folk who like the idea of being blessed by Christ, but never yield to Him.
What is necessary to be saved
Folks! You can NOT fake it with God. He knows your heart. Faking = Still lost. You can talk like/smell like/pray like/look like/act like/dress like/preach like/give money like/claim church membership like/go to church like… but if your heart is not genuinely His, “with all your heart…”, then you are not saved. You are a God damned “believer”. ‘You must be born again.’
Being wrong
“8 Billion people can’t be wrong!” Reminded me of just how many people will be affected when Jesus suddenly surprises them, actually coming back just as He said He would. Are you ready for that day, or will it surprise you all to Hell?
Hebrews 10:31. How terrifying
31 It is a fearful and terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]. – Hebrews 10:31 FOR MORE: Saving Knowledge God takes care of sinners God is available to all Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty Our perfect God and our response to Him God […]
Hating is life changing – eternal life changing. Scary thought.
Ever thought about this?…how “for salvation in Christ — hating is life changing”? Part of Jesus’ message says: 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into Life, because we love the brothers and sisters. He who does not love remains in [spiritual] death. Hate is “eternal-life-changing”. Scary thought. Are you […]
Don Lemonites on Judgement Day
Scenario: God Almighty “interviews” Don Lemon. Scene One: Don Lemon is kneeling before the Judge of All. Here’s the imaginary dialog on That Day of Judgement.
Concurring with the Devil
Scary thought: Have you thought of this possibility… that you might be agreeing with the Devil himself? According to the Bible, there are only two major players in the entire universe: God Almighty and Lucifer, God’s mightiest created angel, who wanted to be God, and fell from God’s grace, often called “the Devil”. Are you […]
God’s Think
I think. You think. We all think. But, what does God think? Thinking is necessary. But what if your “think” is not God’s “think”? Then your “think” will end so very badly when you reach That Day of Judgement, quivering before God in the realization that it is His Think that rules the heavens, not […]
Balancing-out my faith with my practice
You cannot balance-out your faith with practices that are heinous to God and expect God to change His ways for you. God does not use a balance scale. I cannot “balance-out my faith” by practicing sin. Coming to God on your own terms is like… like walking up to a wild bear and telling him […]
Ready to lose it?
Are you ready to lose your soul today – forever? Or are you ready to meet your Maker? Is your account with Him balanced? Hebrews 9:27 …it is appointed and destined for all men to die once and after this [comes certain] judgment We all have “an account” with God. And it starts out in […]

Hell Fire Insurance
I have really tried to, but can’t seem to find in the Bible any reference to “Hell Fire Insurance”. Have you? That’s what some call it: where you can somehow “accept Jesus”, but then, well, all kinds of pressures push you away and back into sin… and you just continue there, blustering defiantly, defensively, when […]
Never Again
The true believer is in Christ, “reborn from above” – never to be “unborn” again. The true believer will never again be under the condemnation of God. Ever. “That act of becoming born again — is an act of God upon our life. We don’t do it — He does it! And that is why it will never be undone.”

His Plan of Immortality
We are immortal. From the very beginning, before the creation of the universe and earth and mankind – God planned for mankind to be immortal. Adam and Eve were created immortal, but because of sin — death became the norm. But we all will be “resurrected” and brought before God – to restart our immortality. […]
Acting Wickedly
What is “acting wickedly”? Jesus mentions this in Matthew: 23And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]. – Matthew 7:23 The Judge of All will define what it is. Is your definition the same as His? Or do you hope […]
Playing With Sin
Your inner self, that hidden inner man (inner woman, inner boy, inner girl… your inner self) is not AS private and secret as most imagine. To people – it is private. But to God – your inner self is an open book What you really are, inside and out, is known by God. Jesus knows […]
Hebrews 10:31
26-31 If we give up and turn our backs on all we’ve learned, all we’ve been given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ’s sacrifice and are left on our own to face the Judgment —and a mighty fierce judgment it will be! If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical […]
Legally Damned – Legally Forgiven
Hebrews 9 explains the heavenly legal arrangement for us to be forgiven. Forgiveness had to be declared – legally – by God through His justice system, or God would not have been just – and we would never have had a chance to be saved. God, being holy, cannot accept sinfulness into His Kingdom, so […]
Genuine Or False
Are you genuine? “The real thing?” When you say you are “a Christian”, is there anything there (in your life) that God accepts as genuine? As they say, *Does your walk – back your talk? *If Jesus put you on trial, would there be enough evidence to prove you guilty of being a born again […]
John 3:3 and John 3:7
3 Jesus answered, “I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again.”[a] 7 Do not be surprised because I tell you that you must all be born again.[a] John 3:3 and John 3:7 Footnotes: again; or from above.

Hell Is Home
Hell is home for the walking dead. You ain’t leavin’ this home. You don’t want to go there. You don’t want to be one. But, there is hope in Christ. Be sure to break new ground, get out of your living grave – if you don’t know Him personally. He saves sinners. I know, because […]
Oh what a day that will be!
Oh what a day that will be! To enter into the Kingdom of God – freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no sweating in fear, no burden of sinfulness before a Holy God. I can only imagine. There is no greater grace. There is no greater grace. There is no greater grace. […]
