A Gap In Faith

1 Corinthians 16:13, Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, Act like men, be strong.

It is common for believers, even those that have been believers for quite a while to have an occasional doubt. That is no sin, but the solution is easy. Take it to the Lord and talk to Him about it. You will find peace and faith coming back into your heart.

When we were saved, we received the Holy Spirit and the promise of the Lord Jesus Christ that He would always be with us. Hang on to that, it’s real. I’m going to tell you a little story and then I’ll end it by telling you what it was all about.

I had a friend that was crazy about hockey and one team in particular. His emotions went right through the roof of his team losing, and he was miserable.

His wife came up with a perfect solution. She would tape each game and he would watch knowing the outcome. He started enjoying the games then. Have you heard about people who pick up a novel and read the last chapter, so they know what the outcome is? Maybe you’re one of them, I know I have done that a few times.

Romans 10:17, So faith comes by hearing and hearing through the Word of God.

Okay so where’s all this going? The answer is simple. Pick up the Bible and read the words of God. It’s all true, and you could rely on it. Believers that follow our savior the Lord Jesus Christ win. The word of God says so. The Book of Revelation is a story of Hope. We know the ending, so there is no reason to fear the future.

The Bible will give you detailed instructions that follow God’s plan. You can’t go wrong. If find your faith is a little shaky turn to the word of God, knowing the Lord Jesus Christ is with you, and as I said before you know how the story ends.

Every Christian, including the famous bible characters had trials too, but overcame when they directed their attention to God our Father. Life is a learning experience, and the Bible is there to help you through it. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins and I repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

When Things Go Wrong

James 1:2-3, Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

It is impossible to live and never have a problem. In order to deal with these problems, we must understand where they come from. The definition of a problem is a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome. God allows problems in order to help our faith grow.

An unbeliever can look at what he considers a problem and get angry. Most of the time he would blame God and curse Him, even though he doesn’t believe in God. Problems originate with satan.

A follower of the Lord Jesus Christ would probably look at the same problem and see it as an inconvenience rather than get angry. He can do this because he trusts in the Word of God.

In a fallen world such as ours, so many people doing what seems good in their self-interest, there will be quite a lot of problems. Then there is the way Father God sees it.

John 16:33, I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. Take heart; I have overcome the world.

Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

God’s plan included problems. God allows problems as a big part of His plan in order to teach us something, we should know or do, and to build Our faith and patience.

If a man has a free will which includes choice about eternal destination, how would anyone rightly decide if everything was always good?

Father God cannot tolerate sin especially in His Heavenly Kingdom. Problems and how we handle them is a good place to sort believers from unbelievers. This is a starting point.

When life is over, the person’s spirit will absolutely see where they stand with God. Big problems in life can keep them from the Saving Grace that separates believers in the Lord Jesus Christ from unbelievers.

Proverbs 3:11-12, My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of His reproof, for the Lord reproves him whom He loves, as a father the son in whom he Delights.

If your faith is solid, and you read the Bible regularly, you will soon realize that in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ there is no problem that is impossible to conquer. The Bible tells us that.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus Loves You.

Prayer of Salvation.

 Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me.

How It Is And Can Be

Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

There is no doubt that the world is a scary place. Talk to anyone over 40 years old and they will tell you this is not the country they grew up in. It seems the whole world is upside down and nothing makes any sense.

Our country and the world seem to be looking to form the one world Government that we read about in the Bible. Crime, corruption, evil, are becoming the standard rather than the exception. So, what happened?

If you give current events a real honest look, the thing that should jump out at you is how God has been taken out of everything. Christians are being persecuted in many ways and fewer and fewer people are going to church.

Without God and accountability, man’s worst behavior, is ruled by satan. God is insulted and His laws are ignored. Even some Churches have embraced same sex behavior. Millions have accepted the idea that God assigns the wrong gender at birth, so it is up to each person to decide what gender they are. With about 57 accepted genders in our world, have you ever wondered why they only switch two?

One of the greatest sins besides blaspheming God, is abortion in my opinion. We could go on and on about all the perversions, but we won’t. So, what is the answer?

Genesis 1: 27 so God created humankind In His Image. In the image of God, He created them, male and female He created them.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10, do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived, Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, revilers, nor men who practice homosexuality, liars-none of these will inherit the kingdom of God.

God has not changed a single thing in His plan that He had before creation. Since God does not change, we can be confident that if we follow Him, the rules will not change. So why should we follow Him?

God created us in His image. He sent His Son to die in order to forgive us. God gave us a way to spend eternity with Him, that way being His only Son the Lord Jesus Christ. All of this leads to no questions or doubt for believers.

If we are saved, we also receive the Holy Spirit. The Bible is God’s instruction book, and the Holy Spirit helps us to follow and understand it.

If we are faithful to God, our Father He will be faithful to us. The closer you get to the Lord Jesus Christ, the closer He gets to you. Your life can be full of blessings and miracles. Remember the world is just noise and distraction to keep us from our God. How everyone Acts is up to God to decide if they’re good or evil. Our job is to pray. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

Sin

Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sin of all sorts has been around as long as man. Unfortunately, sin is a way of life for most people. The same people will tell you there’s no such thing as sin, and others think that most sins are small, so they don’t count. Let’s see what God thinks.

At one time satan was the top angel in Heaven. He was far above all the others. His pride was such however that he thought he was the equal of God and tried to take over. You know the rest of the story, he was thrown out of Heaven and condemned.

Adam and Eve lived in Paradise. They had everything you could possibly imagine. God gave them one command however and that was to not eat from the Tree of Good and Evil. satan deceived Eve and she gave to Adam. Because of their sin, they were cast out of Paradise.

If you look at both stories it may seem God was not fair because of the drastic differences in sin. The truth is God cannot tolerate sin, and in His eyes, Sin is Sin.

James 4:17, Anyone then, who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.

1 John 1:8-10, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 

God looks at sin in a way that is very different than the way we think of sin.

Hebrews 10:26, Or if we willfully persist in sin after having received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.

Matthew 5:28, But I say to you, that everyone who looks at a woman, with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

As we can see from these verses, sin starts in your heart and if it isn’t rejected at that point it can grow to the point where it acts.

There’s no way for us to pay for our sins. God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die in our place, wash away our sins with His blood, past, present, future. When we accept Jesus as our savior, we become righteous in God’s eyes. The whole point of salvation is to change the way we live and to start following God’s way.

What I would like to point out at this time that if satan puts some thoughts in your head and you reject them, you have not committed a sin, God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me.

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

God’s Way

Matthew 6:11, Give us this day our daily bread.

I was sitting in my backyard enjoying the beautiful day the Lord made, and my wife was listening to an Alan Jackson album of worship songs, and I heard the Hymn “How Great Thou Art”.

This whole experience seemed like it was set up by the Lord as a reminder to me of who He is. Maybe we all need a reminder, occasionally.

As we have all experienced every now and then, we overlook the blessings of Almighty God because we are caught up in the cares of the world. As a matter of fact, we usually end up with a so-so result because we didn’t trust God, so we ended up doing what we think, and that blocked God from acting in our behalf for our best.

I hate to admit it, but I wasted many years and a whole lot of effort because I didn’t trust God. I didn’t consciously doubt God, I was just too busy doing things my way to notice, without success I might add.

Almighty God fed the Israelites one day at a time because  all these people could not live off the land, they had to trust God. Everything they needed was provided as they needed it.

Matthew 6:34, Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

There are many occasions in the Bible that give examples of one day at a time. It is God’s way of showing people that He is the source of all good things.

I believe the reason for this story is, when we are allowed to succeed on our own, our success can lead us into so much pride and self, we become our own God. At that point the chances of Eternal damnation are high.

The Israelites suffered huge losses when they disobeyed God, or did not consult with Him for instructions. Fortunately, God is quick to forgive a repentant heart.

As I have said before, the best thing you can do is when you get up in the morning commit your day and everything in your life to the service of the Lord Jesus Christ. Then just trust and you won’t be disappointed. Besides, we know in our hearts what the answer is, Let go and let God.

Fast forward a few thousand years and notice that God’s Word has not changed.  He is the same God loving us the same, forgiving us the same, someone we can truly count on. We can’t even count on ourselves so what can we lose counting on God. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Romans 10:13, For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me.

The Bible Talks To You

2 Timothy 3:16, all scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.

The Bible is the inspired Word of God. For centuries that book has been vilified as being written by men, a collection of stories, and all kinds of denials about its truth and authenticity.

A couple of things to think about. The written Word of God is a set of do's and don’ts that apply to everyone the same way without exception. God’s ideas never change so it is our duty to change our life to match the Bible rather than change the Bible to match our lives.

James 4:17, Anyone who knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, commits sin.

When our world is upside down, as it is now, the people of God are the most at fault. Not only do we let evil happen without saying anything, but many of the pastors also say nothing. Too many people go along to get along. They worry about what others think and not what God thinks. 

2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

This verse is aimed at the people of God in all generations, that means you and me. You must think about you and your family, grandchildren and so on. What kind of Life do you want for them? Time Has Come For the people of God to wake up and step up.

Pressure your pastor. Use your brain when you vote. If your rep or senator, your local official, school boards Etc. don’t reflect your values, stop voting for them. We get what we deserve.

How can we be righteous in God’s eyes when we say nothing about the evil that is trying very hard to be the standard, acceptable behavior.

Prayer is our most powerful tool against evil. Remember, sitting back and saying, oh that’s terrible, doesn’t cut it. Are you going to let someone drag you to hell because you won’t even pray? Remember what James 4:17 says. God will not wait forever for His people to wake up.

2 Peter 1:21, No prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Praise The Lord! 

Have You Wondered

Romans 10:9-10, If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is Justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.

Free Will is confusing to many people. When our creator gave us free will, we also received responsibility for our way of life, and where we spend eternity.

The Word of the Lord tells us about the way to Salvation, and also tells us about the way to damnation. Everyone on this Earth is tested by God as part of our decision-making process.

When faith is involved in dealing with a tragedy, it is a question of belief what our creator thinks is a step in the faith process or reacting in a human way about God’s overall plan for us, which would be a mistake.

Faith is not denial of what is happening, it is trust in the one who allows it. As we grow in faith, we get closer to the Lord Jesus Christ and get a better understanding of what He did for us with His crucifixion. It is by the tests and trials that we go through that makes faith grow.

People who go against God’s word are involved in evil. As they continue to fall further, they have bad things happen to them as a result of what they did and are doing. At that point they usually choose to blame God and curse Him for the consequences of their actions. As good people get better, evil doers get worse.

When you ask “how can God allow this?” Remember that He is with all of His people and feels their pain, but all is caused by evil, and it must play out because of free will.

Romans 8:14, For all who are led by the spirit of God our children of God.

Psalm 34:21-22, Evil brings death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of His servants; none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned. 

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Service To Almighty God

1 Corinthians 15:58, Therefore, my beloved Brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

Today we will discuss just what serving God is. Many Christians, especially new ones want to serve God but get frustrated because they don’t know how.

Here are a few thoughts from someone who went through the same thing. First, the main goal in serving God is to thank God for all His blessings. Don’t think about serving Him in a way that makes you feel good, you are supposed to be praising and thanking Him.

The most common way to serve God, is to dedicate everything you do for His honor and glory. Always doing your best is praising, thanking, and honoring Him.

If God wants you to do something special or difficult, He will make sure you know it. In a case like that He will make sure you have everything you need to get it done, including help from the Holy Spirit.

Another common mistake is one I was an expert at. Do not make the mistake of comparing yourself to what other Christians did. God gave them the jobs He did, and He gave you a job. Only God knows why this one got this, and that one got that.

Do what you are doing to the best of your ability and thank God for the opportunity. Don’t forget this important fact. You are being trained in His service. He will promote you as you grow.

God operates according to His time, and how all the pieces of His plan fit together. Who knows except God if your big chance is in one day, one week, or five years from now.

The Potter takes a big lump of clay. With half of it he makes a water pitcher. The other half he makes a chamber pot. Both are useful in their time. Which lump is used for each item is up to the Potter.

Malachi 3:18, Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me.

How Jesus Taught

Matthew 13:34-35, Jesus told the crowds all these things in Parables and He did not tell them anything without a parable. So that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled. “I will open my mouth in Parables; I will declare things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”

Over the years I have tried to understand the reasons people followed Jesus. I was also trying to figure out if I would have followed Him if I lived back then.

The people that lived in those days were mostly illiterate. Even if they could read, scrolls were few and far between. These people were brought up with the law of Moses with all The Commandments. And all the man-made rules, traditions, and rituals. How could they know much? Almost everything they knew about God depended on how good a teacher the rabbi was.

Along Came Jesus. Jesus was not what they were used to. He preached love, mercy, and forgiveness. He showed them by example. This was unheard of. He healed people of various diseases, cast out demons, and touched the hearts of many.

When Jesus healed someone He forgave their sins, and in some cases warned them about sinning in the future. He did not take this opportunity to beat them over the head with a sermon.

Matthew 13: 10-11, and then the disciples came up and asked Him, why are you speaking to them in parables? The answer is because the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven have been given to you to know but it has not been given to them.

I used to wonder how anyone knew what Jesus was talking about. The truth is Jesus taught in parables like analogies. Jesus didn’t tell them things and expect them to know. He brought the teaching to their level by telling a story about things they were familiar with in order to make His point.

For instance, the story about building a house on a solid foundation. He could then explain how the idea would apply to their daily lives. Jesus had a way of getting people not to just know what He said, they understood what He was talking about in most cases.

Another thought. Suppose I told you how to beat an egg. Would you know? How about if I showed you an example?

We live in times that require diligence to learn the truth. Probably at least 95% of what we hear in the news and even in many churches are lies and deception. Now just like in Jesus time it was and is a battle between good and evil for your soul.

A final note. If you receive Jesus in your heart, He will help you understand all things. Just ask! God bless you and your family.  Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins and ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

Life By The Book

2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.

In the past, several messages I talked about using the Bible as a guide To living a good life. It is a very rewarding way if we put some effort into understanding how everything fits together.

As with anything, an application to real life is there if you choose to pursue it with an open mind, heart, and eyes. The trick is seeing the way God sees and not as people see.

Luke 1:37, For nothing will be impossible with God.

Several years ago, I claimed Psalm 91 as my own. I read it every day for protection from evil of all kinds, man-made or plagues and pestilences. I feel perfect peace because I know I am covered by the word of God.

Proverbs is another book that is a perfect source of wisdom for Life. Read slowly, visualizing what they’re saying and asking God to show you the way.

Ecclesiastes was written by Solomon in his old age. It is a series of recollections about his life. It sounded as though nothing had changed because you can see the same thing today. How many of us have looked back and seen our mistakes and had regrets? Well, my friends if you read Ecclesiastes early enough in life, you can avoid many mistakes and many heartaches and not have regrets when you get old.

Matthew 4: 4, but he answered, it is written, one does not live by bread alone but by every word that is from the mouth of God.

There are lessons, and guidance from God Almighty in every book of the Bible. Like any treasure though, you must dig for it. The payoff is priceless and well worth the effort. I suggest before you do anything whether it’s reading the Bible or some little project around the house, ask the Holy Spirit for help and guidance and you will succeed. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation.

My Time With Jesus Tuesday

The Faces Of Fear 

Isaiah 41:10, Fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 

In order to help us understand fear and its faces we should start with the meaning of fear, and the things that create it. Fear is an emotion that makes someone afraid of the likelihood that some person or thing is likely to be dangerous, cause pain, or is threatening. A bully on the other hand is another face. It can be one or many gather together with the intention of seeking to harm, intimidate or coerce people or a person that they feel is controllable 

The purpose of sowing fear is to control a person or a country. Lies are the favorite tool of the evil ones searching for power at any price. lies however are not always obvious, and people fall for them because of the way they are presented. People pushing fear love to play on emotions of the target in order to control them in some way. These experts will get your money and everything else you have and will eventually control you by making you feel responsible for things you have no control over. They will make you worry about your family, your home, savings, and dozens of other things that they use when they feel it's necessary. there's no limit to how low they will go. 

Think about this. Suppose some disease came around that was killing millions of people. The Narrative would be in order to survive you must do a certain thing like for instance drink a certain liquid that was foul smelling and tasted worse but they told you you had to do it everyday or you would die. Many people who bought that lie and it would probably be most people, would do it’ The only one who really does well is the liar. 

Psalm 56:3, when I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

Fear can reach the level of being totally irrational causing some people to freeze. They become incapable of even moving so they are useless to themselves or someone else in case of an emergency. It is a common fact in business or life, that you should never make a decision based on emotion. Take it to the Lord first, ask Him about it and then gather your facts and you will succeed. Some people are even afraid of the Lord Jesus Christ. They ignore the only book that is completely true, the Bible. Most of these people who are ignoring the Bible are the fearful ones who follow liars and do not realize that the emotion and lies that are taking place is actually a decision for their eternity, and they are letting someone else decide where that is.

Psalm 34 :4, I sought the lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. When you are a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, one of the things you receive at Salvation is discernment through the Holy Spirit, and that allows you to determine who is lying and when. I know some of you would like to poo poo this whole idea, but you do so at your own risk. 

God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord! 

Remember Jesus loves you. 

Prayer of Salvation. 

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins and I Repent of my sins and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of salvation.

God's Promises Sunday

A Glimpse In Time

2 Timothy 3:1-5, For men shall be lovers of their own selves, Covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthinkable unholy; without natural affection, truth breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof from such turn away.

The Bible tells us what the plan God has for man is, as well as the cause for the end. The Lord Jesus Christ spent His life trying to prepare everyone to live according to the will of God. He also spoke of the consequences of a sinful life.

Matthew 24:32, Now learn a parable of the fig tree;  When his branch is yet tender, and putted forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh.

In the Old Testament Daniel and Joel wrote about the apocalypse. And in the New Testament we find the book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John after he was shown a vision of what the end would look like.

If you look at all the people who mentioned the end time you will realize the great importance concerning the destiny of man. The sense of urgency is made pretty plain.

People read the book of Revelation and make comments like how mean God is. If he is a loving God, how could He do the things written in the book?

The actual truth is the Book of Revelation is a story of hope for believers, as well as an example of Justice being fulfilled at last. Everyone who is condemned will know that they deserve it.

Matthew 24:7, For nation shall rise against Nation, and Kingdom against Kingdom: and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places.

Observing the situation, the entire Earth is in makes you look at what the Bible says about the end times. You can’t help noticing many of the signs the Bible describes also applies to our times. I’m not saying this is the end but there’s no doubt it’s getting closer.

With the truth readily available, a prudent person will decide which side they are on as soon as possible. The big thing we must consider right now is since even the Lord Jesus Christ didn’t know when the end would be, there is no way we could predict anything either.

As humans we realize that our time could be up one heartbeat from now. That is a fact we must all consider. Salvation is a heart thing and not a way of Escape. As tough as it is sometimes to look at reality, we are living in times that require just that. Denial will not make it go away.

The good thing about all of this is that the Lord Jesus Christ is always there and always listening. Talk to Him and tell Him what is in your heart, and do not fear anything, because with the Lord in your heart your eternity is secure. God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins; I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!

Telling The Difference

1 Corinthians 1:18, for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

If you found out that a friend of yours lied to you about where there was a huge treasure, would you get angry? Would you give up or search for the truth?

When God created man, God gave him free will. Free will allows us to be stubborn, foolish, evil, whatever we want to be. For our own good, or our Eternal destruction.

When the Lord Jesus Christ came on His rescue mission, most of those He came to save, rejected Him. The Lord Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price for everyone, but only a small number of people accepted what He gave freely.

I have a hard time understanding what kind of reasoning rejects salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ is the most hated man who ever lived. Man is not programmed at Birth with irrational hate and rejection. So what causes that kind of behavior? 

satan and his angels appeal to the dark side of man. Evil is characterized as fun, invigorating, pleasurable, and completely exciting. All manner of evil is celebrated because it goes against God.

John 8: 44, You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Some people not only don’t want to hear about the Lord Jesus Christ, they reject and blaspheme to the point they are beyond redemption just as satan and his angels are.

Let me give you a fact to think about. All through world history, the way the crowd thought was usually wrong. Where is the world today? The world today defies common sense and logic.

If the world seems like nothing makes sense, there is still hope for you. Realize that the world will only lead to your eternal damnation. The Lord Jesus Christ is the only answer. Stop believing the lies and start listening to the truth.

Romans 10:9, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.

God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins, and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus!
