I’m not particularly fond of waiting. I want perfect Heaven now! But the reality is that I am not complete. I have to wait for it.
As if your mindset is protected by God
PIC: Chicago1Ray.twitter Are you living as if your mindset is protected by God? Convinced of it? Is your thinking following God’s Think? Think again – might save you an eternity of regret. A worldview that conflicts with His You may have played in church since a toddler, but that does not translate into God accepting […]
Who is this Jesus of Nazareth?
Who was the real Jesus Christ anyway, the One they call Jesus the Messiah? Let’s see Jesus as the Bible reveals Him.
Un-becoming
When a person accepts Christ as Savior and Lord, a transformation journey begins. We start “un-becoming” (un-doing) what we were before Christ — and little by little “conforming” to Jesus. Our previous conforming to the world “pre-Christ” starts getting un-done as we begin our journey with Christ. Has that been your experience?
Why might many Charismatics not be saved?
This is not an article to denigrate “Charismatics”. This is a resource for Charismatics to learn exactly what the Bible says about charismatic practices. We are to (2 Timothy 2:15) study the Bible so we can be “accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.”
How Jesus loved us
Have you ever tried to think like God Almighty thinks? We are called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level. To be THERE, we must be born again, Jesus said. He loved us to such an extreme that He died to get us there.
Oh my, how could I be so uncool
Facetious wit is missed by many. How could I be such a nitwit – thinking like I do?! So uncool.
Life’s most urgent question. Really.
What decides and settles your MOST URGENT question? I think Jesus answered life’s most urgent question in John 3.
What escapes your notice?
It’s easy to miss some realities around us as we plow along, full-speed ahead. It’s good to pause and see what escaped our attention.
Being like Jesus
Being like Jesus is impossible. It’s being what nobody on earth can be… without being born again, born from above. You there?
What are you filled with?
You can change the course of eternity! Do you want to really live large? Make Jesus your Savior, the Lord of your life — forever.
I’m in it to win it
Contrary to Andy Stanley and his book, Not in It to Win It, I am! I am in it to win it – all for Jesus. This article is a review of the Andy Stanley book.
The Door to Heaven
It’s no ordinary door – that Door to Heaven. Have you opened it, seen what’s what in God’s Kingdom?
Jesus will reject many “Christians”
Jesus Himself said many that come to Him in the end times will be rejected. Wow. This is not expected! Why will He reject so many? These that He rejects are nice people, loving people. They each call themselves Christians. So much for getting to Heaven by being nice and loving! “Loving” does not save.
What God secures – You cannot “lose”
We are not saved after all these years – because we clung desperately to Him. No. It is because He holds us firmly in His Hands. “I am the Door; anyone who enters through Me will be saved….”
The New Covenant
What is it, this New Covenant in the New Testament? Where do we find it explained? Do you understand it’s impact?
Elevating the Word over experience
What trumps what? Are you careful to closely examine what your pastor teaches, comparing what is said — with what you read in the Bible? It should be a weekly habit. Many pastors and common folk equate experiences they have – with Scripture given to us by God. This leads to false assumptions about God […]
Change the way you live
Talking with some people who asked Him about the sinful ways of others… Jesus taught that it would be an eternally favorable act — to change your way of living. “…unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.” – Verse […]
Responding to insults and losses
Jesus is our ultimate example of how to respond when insulted, belittled, or violated somehow. He said: don’t resist, or hit back, or retaliate. I want to be more like that.
The End Times Fight you might not win
There will be a gruesome fight for your soul if you miss the Rapture. You have to be ready now. You might not win that last fight on earth. But I sure as Heaven pray you will. If you are a loser then, well… you will find Hell is your home forevermore.
Called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level
Getting saved does not leave us kneeling there — still a common puny human. At that moment of salvation we are made brand new, and are called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level. We have more than “eternity”. We have an extreme, high calling from our extreme High God.
Can I become unsaved for any reason?
There is no reason to fear losing our salvation once we have sincerely repented and followed Jesus. But you’ve got to ask yourself: Did God save me? His side of the equation is solid. God does what He says He will do. But what about your side?
Think like God Almighty
God is so high above us. If you stick to your own level of thought you’ll never make it to Heaven. You have to think like God — in order to get saved.
Claiming a sin as – God’s will for you
Nowadays we have way too many professing “Christians” who are confusing compassion and love for others with God’s marvelous grace. Many are now exchanging His grace for inclusivity. They claim that God will accept certain sinners – in their sin – because they are exceptionally loving and kind. Is that biblical? Will God accept you because you are exceptionally loving?
What being “saved” means
Getting “saved” by Jesus, is 100% a thing of the heart. If your life doesn’t follow your confession, then you did not get saved. Simple. Tragic for many, many who live in error.
Why the tears, Paul?
What if you are wrong about following Jesus faithfully? What if Jesus is against what you practice in your faith?
As dead as a doornail
We will never ever be “as dead as a doornail”. You’ve heard the expression?
Really want to entrust your eternal soul to THAT?
In whom do you trust? In whose hands is your eternal soul? What system of faith have you chosen? Do you really, really want to trust your eternal soul to THAT?
Fear the Wrath
Are you afraid of dying? The truly born again need not fear the wrath of God.
Fear of death enslaves you
Are you living the good life – with courage and confident hope? Because we are “in Christ” we are confident in Him (Romans 8). “But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure” (verse 25).
