The Redemption of God

December 12, 2022 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

The Pawn Shop analogy – where what is lost absolutely must be redeemed. You been redeemed?

And time will be no more

January 14, 2022 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Some day soon, whether through my death, or via the Rapture, “time will be no more” for me.  Time will cease for me in that moment.  I’m ready for that.  How about you? No doubt about it! I’m assured by the Lord that there is no question about this: I’ll be there. God already gave me eternal life. I have it now!

“I give them eternal life”

December 29, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

When you step into eternity, will you rest assured that you have eternal life? You can.

Are you filthy or beautified?

August 13, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

I for one do not want to arrive in God’s Courts with filthy rags on, stinking of sin – before the God of the Universe.  How ’bout you? Do you wear filthy robes – or have you been beautified with rich robes of forgiveness? God is able to take away all your past sinfulness — and place you in good standing with Him.  No matter how grave your sin, no matter how long you sinned, no matter.  No problem.  He is able.

The Gift by His Precious, Undeserved Grace

July 16, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

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.

Seeing change in your heart

July 9, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Are you seeing change in your heart – since you “became a Christian”?  We absolutely will see change towards godliness in our life… when the Holy Spirit enters into us. God can accept all your most heinous of sins.  He’s got all of it covered by His death on our behalf.  So the problem is […]

Small gods, and our great big beautiful God

May 12, 2021 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Is your “god” too small? Does “he” leave you fearful about your eternity? What kind of god have you chosen? Were you ever truly born again – back when you supposedly “accepted Christ”?

Being 100% given-over to Jesus

December 11, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Being faithful to Jesus – that is what we want, right?  Being faithful – when the Rapture happens?  (I really want to go on that ride!) I live for Jesus, and that is why I live with confidence.  How ’bout you?  Accepting Jesus- plus some other is totally rejected by Jesus.  That “other gospel” faith is the road that leads to the other place, not to God’s Home Heaven.

Heaven. What’s it going to be like?

November 15, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Heaven. What’s it going to be? Many say, I can only imagine.  Well, not really – because we can really know, not merely “imagine”.  The Bible tells us a lot about Heaven.

Oh How Marvelous

February 16, 2020 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Marvelous grace.  To a sinner, what else could be so marvelous? God’s grace, that “un-merited” bestowing of a blessing on me.  Just because of Him.  Just because He chooses to do so within His Heavenly legal system.

Extreme to the nth degree

July 4, 2019 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Our God reveals Himself in the Bible to be extreme to the nth degree. He is many many things, but lets just look at His love and His holiness. It is only Jesus that was the perfect sacrifice to take our place of condemnation.  He is calling you to accept Him.

Hell Fire Insurance

August 21, 2018 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

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 […]

Withholding Obedience

April 8, 2017 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

The saving grace of God is so totally, awesomely immense!  But it is limited.  It is not all-accepting, indiscriminately saying to all comers: “Welcome.  Enter into My Kingdom”.  God has limited His grace of salvation to be effective ONLY for those who are sincere in heart.  God only saves those who truly repent of their […]

Through Grace and Sheer Mercy

December 31, 2016 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Martin Luther was the one who first expressed it like this: “…I grasped that the righteousness of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith.” Sheer mercy!

Getting Born Again

September 30, 2016 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In God’s legal system, all of mankind is condemned to hell because we are naturally unable to be holy [“holy” = without sin].  He cannot have sin in His Kingdom.  Makes sense: He is holy!  His choice – because of His nature.  However, He loved us so much that He provided legal forgiveness for any who choose to follow Him.  Quite simple, actually.

Jesus Only Always For All Times

April 5, 2016 by Keith Swift

The theme running through the whole Bible is that Jesus, the perfect Lamb of God, loved us so much that He offered His life as a perfect sacrifice – for us. Jesus Christ is the only reason any of us, throughout all of history (past, present, or future), are able to be saved.

Jesus Paid It All

November 9, 2010 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

Before time, God was, and He was all there was.  Then God created Man.  God´s nature is perfect, inviolate, greater than any other.  He was (and is) Justice, and His system was (and is) unchangeable. Then Man sinned.

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it. The Koran declares that it was written to confirm the previous revelations and not to replace the Bible according to Sura 5:48 which says, “And We have sent down to you the Scripture with truth, authenticating what is […]

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies.

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

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

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.

Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian.

But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.

Living a forever life – now

Eternal life blessed by God forever — begins the moment you bow your knee in repentance and give Him all of your heart. You saved?

Ways to lose it with God

Living and leaving God behind? That is easy. Try something a little more challenging: Live to please God Almighty – in everything you do! Now that is a worthy challenge. And the prize at the end is more than adequate for your focus.

The Dangers of Consorting With Error

To be faithful to Christ, we cannot mix Jesus plus something.  It’s like mixing water with oil.  That’s a messy mix. There is contradiction and opposition between the two.The same goes for anything in life: To stay true and faithful to Jesus we absolutely must deny that which denies Christ. 

The Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul

Do you know the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul?  Is that what you follow? Study to know the real thing — so you’ll recognize the counterfeit when it’s put in your face.
