There was a point in my life where I was lost for eternity. I am amazed what salvation has meant to me. What about you?
When you are wrong and just don’t get it
We know what Jesus believes. Do you agree with Him? He gave us a choice to make. Are you good with what Jesus said about being “wrong”?
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?
Being saved means forever never again condemned
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.
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.
Hell Fire Insurance Agents
What is it about what you think and practice every day — that makes it worth going to Hell over? Have you thought of going to Hell next week?
Holy Father, Lord of All
Sitting here before you Lord, my Holy Father, Lord of All, I’m so aware that I’m not holy.
One minute away from the Kingdom of God
How far away are you – from the Holy Kingdom of God? It’s not far, actually. God is not distant. Just one minute… and you can be there.
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.
Where only the strong survive
We can stand strong in the midst of pressures, but our strength is in Christ. Scripture says to rely on the Holy Spirit who is within us. We are over-comers because “…He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind].”
Refuse to admit your sin
What sort of person are you? There is a sign in the Bible that should be posted outside the entrance to your heart: Watch out for the dogs! The Apostle Paul warned about those vicious scavenger dogs. Basically he was saying: Watch out for those who distort true Christianity!
What clearly saves and what obviously does not save
Getting into Heaven requires that Jesus, the Gatekeeper, opens the door. Have you made the proper arrangements with Him to get in?
The Godman Jesus Said “Follow Me”
We can never be saved by being sinless. Thank God! None would ever get saved then. But Jesus said, “Follow Me.” THAT is a choice. No matter how good or poorly we follow… He still forgives and saves the repentant sinner. So, what does it mean to “follow”?
This is forgiveness
The forgiveness Jesus offers us is the most costly element in the entire universe. God, the most highly Awesome One, , lowered Himself in the form of the God-man Jesus to become one of us, a puny human – in order to make His forgiveness possible. With that special forgiveness we are granted entrance into His Kingdom. What a plan of the ages!
Fake faith gets you nowhere you want to be
If the core of your being rejects parts and pieces of what Christ taught, then you have a fake faith – with no salvation. Think about that.
Religious out of habit
Each of us is soon to meet-up with Jesus. Are you into habits that please Him, or …not? We do not please God “to get God” – but if we have God, then we aim to please Him. What is your habit?
Willing to change
Are you willing to change? To be ready for the entrance into God’s Holy Kingdom – you must be radically changed. “You must be born again” Jesus said. Now THAT is radical!
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.
“Be reconciled to God”
Have you been “reconciled to God”? I’ve been. How about you?
We don’t get into a Holy Kingdom by being sinful
Our sin separates us from Holy God. How can anyone think they can take their sinfulness into God’s Holy Kingdom? Not happening.
Slander and gossip
Got slander in you? Gossip once in awhile? Are you trying to be compassionate, putting down sinners with love?
God’s grace teaches us to reject sin
Non-stop… God’s grace is teaching us to reject sin. How’s that going for you these days? Still so dull, or now living new life in Christ?
For you He died
There are many reasons Jesus died for you. Here are just a few.
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.
God’s List of Unacceptables
What is acceptable to God according to the Bible? What is unacceptable? God shows us His list of what is not acceptable to Him because God loves all sinners and wants each of us to get forgiven and be made ready for His Holy Home Heaven.
Turn from – Turn to
God is asking us to turn from sin, and turn to Him. The simplicity of that Gospel of Jesus is so simple that many reject “turning”. How about you?
Keeping sin AND getting God’s Holiness also
Be careful as you approach God. You might be doing evil – and not know it (Ecclesiastes 5:1). Do you legitimize your favorite sin as approved by God? Legit sins. What a deal that would be! Live anyway you want, but… just try to be very loving. God is so loving He’s sure to accept us, right?
Christians worship a Jew
As a Christian, do you know the One you worship? Are you hating on Jews these days? Do you realize where Jesus came from?
The Work of Salvation
What exactly is the work of salvation done by Jesus for us? Jesus did not come down to earth to condemn us (John 3:14-19). God came down to save us. Have you been saved?
The Lord can restore you
I was legally damned by God, but now I am legally forgiven. He will never leave me nor forsake me – because I have been born again – redeemed. And now, God continually refreshes and restores my soul. He comforts me.
