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.
I’m Christian because He chose me
The two doctrines are true: He chooses us (1 Peter 2:9), and we have a choice to make: “Whosoever will may come”. Have you chosen Him for yourself? Only God is Good. Choose to make that “eternal divide” permanent – for goodness sake.
Dealing with the sins of others
There are plenty of sins to go around. And it is so easy to condemn others. But we grieve God when we condemn a sinner. So, what’s a better way to go?
The Holy Spirit only resides in true believers
There is a rather chilling phenomena happening right now, these days of what Jesus called “the end of this age” in which we are lucky to be living now. This phenom is: so-called Christians are not actually real, true Christians.
Get your 2:2 on!
Revelation 2:2 says we should not tolerate those who call themselves “special messengers, personally chosen representatives, of Christ”. Do you?
Taking hate to Holy Heaven? Your ways, your views?
Do you plan to take your hate, your ways, your views – to Heaven? Have you thought that through? How would that play-out, exactly?
Oh immeasurable joy of arrival
I am not seeking death, but I rather prefer to be there, sooner than later. In the meantime, I will keep fighting deep in “the good fight”, holding firmly to Christ my Hope.
What is your brand?
What are you known for? That is your brand. Will God accept your confession — with that brand? God will reject all but those with the brand of Jesus.
When difficult times assail us
In times of trouble – God is calling us to turn to Him for help. Whatever our need, God is always saying Turn to Me. Of course not all times of trouble are from the Lord. But Scripture does teach us that God sometimes brings us difficult experiences in order to cause us to turn to Him (1 Corinthians 10:11-13).
Those who like it but don’t live it
God wants us all to be saved. But He requires we back up our talk with our walk. Are you a posing as Christian? Got the Chutzpah of a Wannabe? Are you living for Jesus, or for …something else?
The most important thing when you are rich
“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live….” (Deuteronomy 30:19). Have you chosen Life?
Speaking with love about what is true and what is false
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.
Quick Quiz – What are we to do habitually…according to Jesus?
Doing anything habitually is quite a challenge. We must really truly want to! What are we to do “habitually” – according to Jesus?
Quick Quiz – How do you prove yourself a good neighbor?
Do you have faith, or works? Jesus tells us what is really needed from His perspective.
Confirm & Affirm why Jesus will accept me
Every once in a while, I must confirm why Jesus will accept me. I love to ask others: Why will Jesus accept you into His Holy Kingdom? What’s your answer to that?
Being unselfish, more thoughtful and gracious to others
What do you produce with your life? Are you still growing? Still learning?
Love and Agape Love in the Greek and in the New Testament
What types of love exist? We find them in the Greek language and in the New Testament. Very varied loves!
Is your life fruit – agape love?
What on earth are you doing with your eternal soul? Producing anything lasting?
Posing as Christian
There are posers, fakers, false Christians – in all churches, I surmise — since it appears that maybe only 6% of churchgoers have a biblical worldview. Are you posing as a Christian?
How’s your talkin’?
However brief or casual – throughout most days we have a precious chance to give individuals hope for the future, show them the love of Jesus.
Prayer with God? I just don’t get it
How can it be that God allows me into His very presence? I just can’t comprehend it. What a privilege.
Issues in the public square affect our life and our faith
Issues found in the public square affect our life and our faith. Do you know what they are? What would Jesus say? I think He is saying, “…let us not love [merely in theory]… but in action and in truth…” (1 John 3:18).
Live your best life wherever, doing whatever you want
Did Jesus teach anyone to “Live your best life wherever, doing whatever you want”? Actually, doing your own way – will never get you where you want to be.
Letting It Reign Until Hell Is Home
If I were to let sin reign in my body, then — what a mess. But I don’t let it. I am not “these things”. I am strong in Him. Only in Him.
Getting to Heaven with no Left Foot
Today, what is Right is wrong. What is wrong, is on your Right. The Left is full of it. Are you trying to get to Heaven with your Left foot? Jesus had no Left foot, so where do you think your Left foot leads?
What I rather prefer
What’s next for us here on earth? We can’t say for sure. But we do know a few details from Scripture. And I can say what I’d rather prefer.
What you think and practice as compared with what Jesus thinks
The way you think (as in your worldview, your political leaning, your personal outlook on things) shows your agreement or disagreement with Jesus, or your rejection of what Jesus taught. If you reject His teaching, then, does that mean you reject Jesus Himself?
What knowing the Bible does for you
If we know our Bible, we will know Christ, acknowledge Christ, and recognize Christ. We will know what saves us and what does not. We will be more and more like Christ. That’s a great thing.
I have stumbled like a drunk
Are you “pursuing spiritual perfection”? Or: Are you deep in the miry clay, still, lost in your sinfulness? Want to get out? Turn. Get yourself to Jesus through sincere and truthful prayer. Christians do not have to sin. You once turned – to it. And so it is a choice also to turn from it, from what has ensnared you – and turn to Jesus in repentance. It’s a choice: be faithful once again, or stumble like a drunk, eat vomit like a dog, wallow like a pig.
Voting is what every Christian is responsible to do
Voting while a wild and wooly culture is banging at the door. Don’t let them in to rob and kill. Don’t be fooled again! We are losing our blessed country.
