What is “just fine with me” may not be “fine with Me”. God has the final say about what is or is not “sin”. We need to pay attention to Him. You think?
Not saved yet
Are you still “wretched” before God? Still vile to Jesus? Still not ready for God to take you into His Holy Kingdom? Are you going there?
Charisma Seekers Beware
Do you perhaps need aversion therapy against a deeply paralyzing Charisma seeker addiction? You do – if you prefer Charismatic beliefs over what the Bible so clearly teaches. Like Narnia imagines another world, have you imagined “another gospel”?
Kundalini Hindu mysticism in Charismatic churches
Do you practice what is replicated in Kundalini Hindu mysticism? If you are the typical NAR-type Charismatic, then yes, you do. But that is part of the doctrines of demons Scripture warns us against. Are you actually ready to argue with God about that when you arrive for judgement?
Forgive me oh Lord for I know I have sinned
Do you share with God your failures, your sins, what you need from Him? More than I know “I am short of holy“. So I pray about it.
Get on God’s side – and be in the truth
We know “God’s side” by what He communicated to us in the Bible. We get on God’s side by following the Jesus of the Bible. Don’t be deceived away from the Truth, away from salvation in Jesus.
Specific salvation parameters Jesus absolutely requires
Are you aware of what-all is actually required to truly “accept Christ”? Believing “in the name…” means accepting “all that Jesus Christ is and does”. Have you sincerely repented and truthfully “believed” in Jesus? Are you honestly following Jesus?
The sweetest thing to grace your town bench
Is it a big deal to have some sin in my life? I was saved way back when. What difference does it make? After all, Jesus saves sinners – right?
Specific salvation parameters to get saved
Salvation does not require being smart, nor knowing it all, nor getting it all right. The thief on the cross was saved on the spot – while hanging there dying. But if we examine what the thief acknowledged… he got it right, and Jesus saved him on the spot. But others went away from Him without salvation. So what’s with that? What does Jesus require?
This does not save you
What really truly is necessary for you to be saved? Jesus gave us His parameters. There are limits to His grace. Don’t get shut-out because of them. His mercy is huge, so today – all on earth still have a choice to make. The day of “it’s too late” is just around the corner!
Caught-up with a practice God has said not to practice?
We find this in Joshua 24:15 – “Choose for yourselves today whom you will serve.” Are you choosing your practices by what God has told us in the Bible?
Prepare Your Eternity with great fear and trepidation
The Bible contrasts the two sides of eternity: Heaven and Hell. It is extremely advisable to examine our “eternal preparedness”. Are you prepared? Make sure you have correctly interpreted God in His Word. If you have not, there will be Hell to pay. Nobody can accept His salvation – and reject His Words.
Ever grasped that feeling of being wrong with Jesus?
To be wrong with Jesus is the worst. You can’t be in a worse position with God. It matters. You will never be happy in that state. So think about it.
Understanding “wrong”
Do you understand the severity of being wrong when you stand before the Judge of Eternity? We know what Jesus believes. Do you agree with Him?
What saves you
What really truly is necessary for you to be saved? Jesus gave us His parameters. There are limits to His grace. Don’t get shut-out because of them. His mercy is huge, so today – all on earth still have a choice to make. The day of “it’s too late” is just around the corner!
I’ve been “declared free of guilt”
For the guilty criminal standing there guilty before the judge, there are no better words to hear than the judge’s declaration: “Not guilty.” That is what Jesus says to the guilty-as-sin sinner who comes to Him in repentance.
Being pleasing
Getting born again established my identity. I am a child of God now. Rejecting sin is a part of my identity. How ’bout you?
What following Christ is NOT
To say “I’m following Christ” – that’s easy to say. But, in the vernacular, “You is or you ain’t!” What is your practice? The Bible explains what is “following Christ”… and what is NOT.

Key truths about sin as taught in the Bible. What is sin, and what is God’s stance about it?
