The very clearly delineated message of salvation from Jesus Himself, the Gatekeeper to Heaven, is: “deny himself…”, express “a willingness to endure whatever may come”, and “follow Me” – which means “believing in Me, conforming to My example in living”. It’s free. It’s simple. But it will cost you.
My terrors in the dark place
Sometimes I live in terror of the dark place. The horror of rejection by my God. I waver and am flooded with old fears. What if Jesus is not Lord and Savior of my sin drenched soul? Where is that safe sweet spot?
“Be reconciled to God”
Have you been “reconciled to God”? I’ve been. How about you?
How you can know you are a Christian
The final frontier is just ahead. Ready for it? Do you know you are a Christian? Are you really really sure? Be sure – read the Bible.
The tragic error many live in all their life
The simple plan of God for your salvation is to actually “Believe in the name of Jesus” and follow Him. You can live the way you want – or give your life to the gatekeeper of Heaven — Jesus. “I did it my way” (like Frank Sinatra sang it) is not going to be heard in Heaven… only in Hell.
Meeting-up with Jesus
Meeting-up with Jesus will be a decisive meetup! What will it be like for you?
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….”
As dead as a doornail
We will never ever be “as dead as a doornail”. You’ve heard the expression?
Heaven’s Gate will soon shut and lock
How long will God wait for you — to repent? Jesus waited 1,952 years for me, and then 7 more years. Jesus saved me! I’m so glad He waited.
The Redemption of God
The Pawn Shop analogy – where what is lost absolutely must be redeemed. You been redeemed?
I am well in my soul
I embrace this life God gave me. I also “Embrace the Suck” (the difficulties). It’s up to me to keep watch over my soul, my spirit, keep it fit, keep it clean, keep it well. Life in Jesus is all about Him. I refuse to “opt out”, to give in to sin. I don’t let it beat me down.
Know that you know you know
Sometimes a believer may wonder: “Am I really truly saved?” The Bible says we can know we are. What does the Bible say about our salvation in Christ? Are you sure you are saved?
Happiest day ever
We have good days, and some not so good. What was your happiest day ever?
What, in Hell, are we to do?
What are we to do in Hell? I don’t know, actually.
Believe in the Name of Jesus
Believing “in the name…” means you believe in “all that Jesus Christ is and does”. Where are you at on this spectrum? Truly saved — almost but not — going to Hell for sure.
And time will be no more
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!
Be the one who endures and overcomes
There are only two types of humans on earth. You really really want to be the type who sincerely and truthfully accepts Christ, the one who endures all the way.
I’ve got that joy
I’ve got that joy. Do “you greatly rejoice”, and “delight with inexpressible and glorious joy”? You can. But “you must be born again” (Jesus said).
Are you filthy or beautified?
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.
I run to win! Christ did. Do you?
What is due to Jesus, because of what He has done for you? He died for you, for me, for all sinners alike. So – what should be our response to Him?
The End… as Jesus predicted it
Jesus came to die for us (John 3:16-21). But He was also a prophet. Jesus predicted the destruction of Jerusalem (which did happen in 70 AD). He also speaks of the end times of the earth.
Small gods, and our great big beautiful God
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”?
Are you under – A Deluding Influence?
“God [b is sending] will send upon them [c an activity of error] a deluding influence….” – 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 In these perplexing, wild, and topsy-turvy 2020 days, a beginning decade, I believe we are seeing about 48%, almost 1/2, of the USA peoples living as dead men walking (“the body is […]
This is Salvation in Christ
It’s a very simple message from God, actually – what He expects of us. His message is to all of us — us sinful, willful, rebellious, self-centered creatures. God is asking you and me to repent.

Hell Fire Insurance
I have really tried to, but can’t seem to find in the Bible any reference to “Hell Fire Insurance”. Have you? Actually Scripture points to an entirely different policy.
Our Life As God Sees It. Ephesians 2:1-10

Here the passage is broken into its separate phrases and nuanced truths …explained here by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians chapter 2, verses 1-10.

God’s System of Justice
Let’s look at the real God and His very real system of justice. Let’s look at this from within what His book tells us. These are the parts of God’s system:
Ese Momento Preciso
English version: That Moment in Time Hay un momento preciso en el tiempo cuando todo cambia, cuando un simple ser humano es trasformado por Dios en una clase humana completamente diferente. Es ese momento de cambio cuando el pecador acepta el regalo de Dios de perdón, sometiéndose ante Dios en arrepentimiento, reconociendo a Cristo como […]
