Paul explains the chronological timeline of 5 big time end time events, in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 – including the Great Apostasy. “…right out of just one chapter, 2 Thessalonians 2, Paul tells us: The chronological order of 5 events: The Great Apostasy (v3: “that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first [that is, […]
Agreeing with God
Salvation is one sinner agreeing with God. No holding back.
God’s message to the world
The ones who will be blessed throughout eternity – are “those who hear the word of God and continually observe it.”
God forgives sins by His Holy Holy Justice
What do you know about God, the most holy in the universe? Our Holy Holy Holy God was (and is) so opposed to anything not holy – that He volunteered to die in order to be able to save us all – you and me. THAT is truly the biggest Wonder of the Universe. God came to earth as a man, Jesus! His holy system of justice demanded holy justice. So He Himself went to the cross.
1 John 1:9
1 John 1:9 Amplified Bible (AMP) 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].
Endurance with your faith
“Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God.” (1 Peter 1:18-21) To be a “Christian” requires endurance. I want to finish well. How about you?
Staying Alive
The faithful have a faith that is staying alive day by day. Through all our struggles, we keep our eyes on Jesus, saying yes to Him and saying no to sin – following Him by faith.
The BAD FRUIT List
The “unhealthy tree person” lives-out bad fruit. They accept what God has declared “unacceptable”. Accepting sins in “God’s Sin List is a sign you are NOT following Christ “by an ongoing experience”. (Ephesians 4:12-32)
The Fool Says
So, what kind of fool are you…? Remember the popular song saying this? “What kind of fool do you think I am?”
God’s Think
I think. You think. We all think. But, what does God think? Thinking is necessary. But what if your “think” is not God’s “think”? Then your “think” will end so very badly when you reach That Day of Judgement, quivering before God in the realization that it is His Think that rules the heavens, not yours. Read about God’s “think”. What you think – matters. How you act it out – matters more. It will seal your eternity – with Him, or without Him.
The Identity Game
What kind of animal are you? Can you be identified biblically as “Christian” (“little Christs”)?
When I reconcile with God everything changes!
When I reconcile with God, everything changes. Count the ways….
Oh How Marvelous
Marvelous grace. To a sinner, what else could be so marvelous? God’s grace, that “un-merited” bestowing of a blessing on me. Just because of Him. Just because He chooses to do so within His Heavenly legal system.
I am a Christian because…
I am a Christian because… the Bible is too good to have been a fabrication of man. It had to have been orchestrated – by God. I am a Christian because… of tangible evidence of the divinity of Christ. He fulfilled over 360 prophecies written about the coming Messiah – way too many to have been completed by chance. Christ was God in human form. I am a Christian because…
Pray for salvation
Excerpt from the article: God Speaking Repent now. There is no magic formula or speech. Just speak your heart to Me, sincerely and truthfully. I can hear your voice. I can hear your thoughts. Direct your heart to Me — something like this: Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I believe you […]
Why all my pain and sorrow, my sickness and worries?
Why has my life be so full of pain and sorrow, sickness and worries? God is perfect and created all things. What’s with that!
Sincerity and Truth
Was there sincerity in your repentance? Was there truth? Is there fidelity to Jesus in your faith?
Born Again. Reborn from above
Getting “born again” is found in several references in the Bible. Jesus Himself said, “You must be born again.” Have you?
Hope in Christ
Imagine a personal friend so close he is available instantly. Anytime anywhere he will help you with anything on your mind.
The model said “sorry mom”
This article made me wonder: how “public” about our faith are we in this land of the free? Does anything “register” with other people — about our faith? Do people that meet me – soon come to know of my faith in Christ as my Savior? Do I care whether they know or not? Does it matter?
Ready to lose it?
Are you ready to lose your soul today – forever? Job 27:8 puts it well: ““For what is the hope of the godless, even though he has gained [in this world], When God takes his life?
Not by strength – by God!
We do not “stay saved” by holding on desperately to His Hand, careful not to fall into Hell. His act of saving us is His act, and it is eternal.
Puny humans
Quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us.
Luke 6:46. Do what I say
“Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” – Luke 6:46
Worthless prayers
Prayer is effective when we come to God with sincerity and truth. Any other way? That’s worthless.
What sort of person are you?
What sort of person are you? Are you being diligent to be the sort that God wants? My focus is going to be on eternity with God!

I live with confidence
Although I am not perfect, I have, growing in me…“love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control”. That grows confidence!
I am enough
In Christ I am enough. I’ve got it all, nothing needed, nothing missing. I am ready, steady and able because God Himself made me more than human, after all. I have everything needed, in me, to live a godly life — because of the power of God in me… since that moment in time that […]
Before a good cup a Joe
I don’t do frenetic. I don’t do worry. I don’t let it in. I don’t start my day all out of kilter, out of whack. I refuse to stumble into my day. I start most every day something like this: I get on up and get on High. I’m lifted up. I start my day with God in prayer – just me and God in the cavern of my head. Creator God is everywhere. Nowhere that He’s not. And He’s in my head. He knows my thoughts. My thoughts, an open gateway to my soul, for God. I think my thoughts to Him “in prayer”. No one hears me, but God Himself. He even knows what I’m about to say. Oh mysterious, sacred Spirit that lives inside my eternal soul!
