Examine Yourselves
The Bible exhorts us to periodically examine our self and make sure we are in the faith. Don’t get caught standing before God Himself and discover there that you are NOT His follower!
The Good Fight
As His followers, day in and day out we are fighting the good fight against the old nature. We can then rest assured we are not “practicing sin” for we are in the fight. We are secure in Him.

Fear This
There are a few things in life that you sure as Hell need to fear. Ever really thought about this?
I am sorry for your loss, Tom
Just wanted to express my condolences. I am so sorry for the recent loss of your wife, Tom. Jesus Christ assures me that when I leave this earth, I am instantly in the presence of God, at peace, with joy everlasting.
Jesus Saved Me
Because I have been born-again, transformed into a new creation, I am not a mere human, but rather — a brand new type of creation of God. I hope you also have been born again, re-created by God. You can be if you respond to God. It’s not too late… till it’s too late.
Hell Is Home
Hell is home for the walking dead. You ain’t leavin’ this home.
Going To Hell?
The highway to hell is quite a ride. But it’s hectic, with all kinds of stops and twists and turns. There is a tiny road along the way, however, that leads to God. It shows-up periodically on the highway to hell. It tends to catch sinners by surprise, because most don’t give a damn about God, and haven’t really considered traveling by any other road. They don’t like change, and most-all their friends are going to hell anyway, so they say. Heaven is always just around the corner if you choose to take this tiny road. It is a choice. It is, however, one choice amongst many.
