AREN'T YOU GLAD WE HAVE A LIVING GOD? JUST THINK, ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS HAVE DEAD GODS AND CAN'T CLAIM, AND DON'T EVEN TRY, THAT THEIR GODS ARE ALIVE. WITH JESUS, THE ROMANS EVEN GAVE PROOF TO THE WORLD THAT JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD. THEY STATIONED A WATCH AT THE TOMB TO MAKE SURE NO ONE STOLE HIS BODY BUT WHEN HE CAME OUT OF THAT TOMB, LOOK WHAT THE SOLDIERS DID. THIS IS FOUND IN MATTHEW 28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as...
Luke 22:32 "But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."
The concept of "conversion" is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures at least 14 times. The basic meaning of the term is a turning or returning to God. This implies a turning away from sin and a turning to...
HAVE YOU EVER WORRIED ABOUT EXPRESSING YOUR LOVE FOR JESUS IN PUBLIC? A LOT OF PEOPLE WON'T BECAUSE THEY "MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE". YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK OF THAT. WHAT IF JESUS THOUGH HE MIGHT OFFEND SOMEONE AND NOT HAVE GONE TO THE CROSS FOR US. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TROUBLE WE WOULD BE IN? EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE A LESSON FROM BLIND BART. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY? WHEN BLIND BARTIMAEUS WAS SITTING BY THE ROADSIDE BEGGING, HE HEARD THAT JESUS WAS PASSING BY AND CRIED OUT TO HIM. THIS STORY IS FOUND IN MARK 10:46-48
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF ANY OF THE POLITICIANS REALLY KNOW JESUS? SURE THEY KNOW WHO HE IS BUT DO THEY REALLY KNOW HIM? I AM SURE SOME OF THEM DO BUT WHY DON'T WE EVER HEAR OF ONE OF THEM STANDING UP IN THE SENATE OR HOUSE PROCLAIMING THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH? I AM SURE IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF OFFENDING SOMEONE. DON'T THEY KNOW THAT BY NOT DOING THAT IT IS OFFENDING JESUS? IF ANY OF THEM REALLY READS GOD'S WORD, WHAT...
Matthew 26:33 "Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended."
Just like Peter, we are often more confident of ourselves than God is. Many Christians are devastated when they fail in some area that they thought they had long since grown past. We need to...
TO ALL OF YOU NON-BELIEVERS OUT THERE, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU. IF YOU ARE LIVING A GOOD, CLEAN LIFE, NOT GETTING DRUNK, OR STEELING, OR COMMITTING ADULTERY AND YOU HAVEN'T KILLED ANYONE, IT DOESN'T MATTER ONE BIT. IF YOU HAVEN'T CONFESSED YOUR SINS AND ACCEPTED JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR, YOU ARE GOING TO HELL. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. YOU MIGHT THINK THAT IS A LITTLE HARSH, AND YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT IT IS NOT AS HARSH AS IT IS GOING TO BE FOR YOU IN ETERNITY. IF THIS SCARES THE HELL OUT OF YOU AND MAKES YOU FEEL BAD, I AM GLAD. THIS IS...
John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Jesus didn't say that all men would know we are His disciples by our doctrine, our rituals, our hatred for sin, or even by the way we express our love for God. He said very clearly, that the one characteristic that would...
YESTERDAY I ASKED IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS NECESSARY TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE BORN AGAIN. ACCORDING TO WHAT JESUS SAID, WE FIND THAT IT IS. TODAY, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION FOR YOU. DO YOU THINK A PERSON CAN GET BORN AGAIN ON THEIR DEATH BED? USUALLY THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BE BAPTIZED. SO, IF THEY CONFESS THEIR SINS, ASK JESUS TO COME INTO THEIR HEARTS AND BE THEIR SAVIOR, WILL THEY BE BORN AGAIN?
John 13:34 "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another."
Jesus previously stated that all the law and the prophets were dependent on loving God first, and then loving your neighbor as yourself. These truths were already in the law but people missed them....
DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY TO BE BAPTIZED TO BE BORN AGAIN? I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF TEACHINGS ON THIS AND I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU SCRIPTURE WHICH, I BELIEVE, CONFIRMS THAT IT IS NECESSARY. I WROTE A MESSAGE ON THIS BEFORE AND I LEFT IT UP TO YOU ALL AS TO WHAT YOU WANTED TO BELIEVE. HOWEVER, FROM SCRIPTURE, I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANY DOUBT, SO LET'S LOOK AT THE SCRIPTURES.
