1 Kings 18:21 – OMG

Speaking with love about what is true and what is false

January 10, 2025 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

If we carefully read Scripture, we are sure to see horribly false teachings are rampant in many churches today. They form a NARcissistic gospel. It is incumbent upon us to warn others of the actual false teachers and their false teachings. Paul and John and Jude warned about this (2 Corinthians 11:4). Let’s examine where Jude urges us to “contend for the faith”, “fight strenuously for the faith”, defend the faith.

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.

The Moment of IF

April 12, 2023 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

The Apostle Paul takes us back to the question of questions for all of us about our salvation: The moment of “IF”. Is there any “if” to your salvation story? Could you perhaps have a Cracked Heart?

Living between two opinions

Do you equivocate, living between two opinions? Isn’t it time to choose this day who you will serve, 100%?

Now I belong to Jesus

How 'bout you? What kind of commitment did YOU make to Jesus?

Well said...quotes

"Is the Word of Jesus enough for you, today?"...and other quotes. PIC: Gertler Cardboard Sculptures

Oh what a day that will be!

Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven

"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man. He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God

Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant

God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?

When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.

Lost I Came To Him

Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…

Time as it really is

Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error

God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life

A simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.

Ashamed of Yourself?

Ever done something you are ashamed of? Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up. Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess. So... Yes? Scenario: “You have? What!?

Being Christian

What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017

Vortex of Good & Evil

As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.

What God has going on with us here on this planet

God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history. Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom.

Cognitive Dissonance

...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.

Actually Try To Do The Deed

“It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man

…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind?

The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”

Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God? Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad.

The Moses Connection to Jesus

The Moses Connection There is an astounding connection that goes all the way from Moses — forward through the centuries to Jesus the Messiah. From way back in history, with Moses, we pass through time – to Jesus… and there we have this man claiming exactly what Moses predicted. What an astounding connection! Back in […]

The New Covenant did not abolish any previous convenants of God

Later covenants of God did not invalidate former covenants! The New Covenant was a fulfillment of former covenants. Invalidate the Old? The logic isn’t even there – so how do so many people believe the false teachers?

What if? God looks inside your soul and says “I am not your Lord”

Can Jesus be your Savior while not your Lord also? Scripture say: NOT

God is “faithful and absolutely trustworthy” to you in your salvation

God does not save the unlucky person, even by His marvelous grace, who does not follow Him in obedience. You don’t just waltz in, say “Okay God. Looks good”, then walk out and do your own thing. The Godman Jesus said “Follow Me”. The concept of getting saved without then obeying and following Jesus is not in the Bible.
