I’m not particularly fond of waiting. I want perfect Heaven now! But the reality is that I am not complete. I have to wait for it.
Un-becoming
When a person accepts Christ as Savior and Lord, a transformation journey begins. We start “un-becoming” (un-doing) what we were before Christ — and little by little “conforming” to Jesus. Our previous conforming to the world “pre-Christ” starts getting un-done as we begin our journey with Christ. Has that been your experience?
Why might many Charismatics not be saved?
This is not an article to denigrate “Charismatics”. This is a resource for Charismatics to learn exactly what the Bible says about charismatic practices. We are to (2 Timothy 2:15) study the Bible so we can be “accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.”
Oh my, how could I be so uncool
Facetious wit is missed by many. How could I be such a nitwit – thinking like I do?! So uncool.
Being like Jesus
Being like Jesus is impossible. It’s being what nobody on earth can be… without being born again, born from above. You there?
What are you filled with?
You can change the course of eternity! Do you want to really live large? Make Jesus your Savior, the Lord of your life — forever.
I’m in it to win it
Contrary to Andy Stanley and his book, Not in It to Win It, I am! I am in it to win it – all for Jesus. This article is a review of the Andy Stanley book.
Jesus will reject many “Christians”
Jesus Himself said many that come to Him in the end times will be rejected. Wow. This is not expected! Why will He reject so many? These that He rejects are nice people, loving people. They each call themselves Christians. So much for getting to Heaven by being nice and loving! “Loving” does not save.
The New Covenant
What is it, this New Covenant in the New Testament? Where do we find it explained? Do you understand it’s impact?
Elevating the Word over experience
What trumps what? Are you careful to closely examine what your pastor teaches, comparing what is said — with what you read in the Bible? It should be a weekly habit. Many pastors and common folk equate experiences they have – with Scripture given to us by God. This leads to false assumptions about God […]
Change the way you live
Talking with some people who asked Him about the sinful ways of others… Jesus taught that it would be an eternally favorable act — to change your way of living. “…unless you repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways and live changed lives], you will all likewise perish.” – Verse […]
Responding to insults and losses
Jesus is our ultimate example of how to respond when insulted, belittled, or violated somehow. He said: don’t resist, or hit back, or retaliate. I want to be more like that.
Called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level
Getting saved does not leave us kneeling there — still a common puny human. At that moment of salvation we are made brand new, and are called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level. We have more than “eternity”. We have an extreme, high calling from our extreme High God.
Think like God Almighty
God is so high above us. If you stick to your own level of thought you’ll never make it to Heaven. You have to think like God — in order to get saved.
Why the tears, Paul?
What if you are wrong about following Jesus faithfully? What if Jesus is against what you practice in your faith?
Consequences of Supporting Evil
Supporting evil actually has one consequence before God. Can you guess what it is?
“Whosoever will may come”
Have you arrived to the Pearly Gates “in Christ”? Or are you still putting off accepting Christ?
The Moment of IF
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?
Jesus said, “Good answer! Do it and you’ll live.”
“What do I need to do to get eternal life?” He [Jesus] answered, “What’s written in God’s Law?
Take a Stance on Homosexuality – like Jesus did
Anything contrary to God’s expressed will has to be carefully avoided. Homosexuality, for example, is pushed nowadays as “okay by God”. But actually, it is listed in the Bible right beside many other practices that are not pleasing to God. Temptation towards any sin is NOT sinful. But, if we practice a sin, then we deny Christ. Want to please God in all you do?
The sins around us and the sins we do
The world flaunts its enjoyment of sin. Many a life is being shipwrecked by the practice of sin. Here is a list of what is what with God.
You serving two masters?
Is what Jesus consistently taught us – the most indicative of your beliefs? Or have you drifted away from those? Spiritual drift can lead to serving two masters. And Jesus said – that ain’t happenin’. No one can…. You cannot. So now what?
Do “good and honorable things”
What can we do to help our family, our church, our neighbors, the strangers we meet? Ask them straight out: How can we help you?
Beliefs “deserving full acceptance and approval”
The Gospel is chock-full of beliefs which are “deserving full acceptance and approval”. Are your beliefs worthy of God’s approval?
The music hook of today’s apostates
Music by Bethel, Jesus Culture, Hillsong, and Elevation – hooks uninitiated church folk into false teaching churches. Beware.
Do Justice, Be Kind, and Walk Humbly with your God
Why do you claim to be a Christian? Do you walk like your talk? Is the faith of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul — your faith? Are you walking dead, or are you alive in Christ?
Your “New Leaf”…once you have repented
How does one live once you’ve become a newbie Christian? What drives you, day by day, to do the things you do, to act the way you choose to act?
Dancing with doctrines of demons
We are warned in the Bible not to fool around with the Devil and his occult practices. Are you?
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.
