About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

Pilate Violates The Truth
Matthew 27:17 'Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, 'Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ''?
Although Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent, he looked for some diplomatic way to release Jesus that would not cause him to lose popularity with the Jewish leaders. This is why he sent Jesus to Herod. He hoped that Herod would pass judgment on Jesus and save him the trouble.
When that scheme failed, Pilate drew on an old custom of releasing a prisoner to the people at the feast. He gave them a choice between Jesus, who he knew was innocent, and Barabbas, who was a murderer. Pilate...
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE WORD "TRINITY" IS NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE, THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN A TRIUNE GOD. I SINCERELY BELIEVE THAT THESE PEOPLE DON'T CARE THE FIRST THING ABOUT GOD BUT JUST LOVE TO ARGUE WITH ANYONE ABOUT THE BIBLE. THEY HAVE READ IT AND EVEN STUDIED IT, NOT TO LEARN OF GOD, BUT TO BE ABLE TO ARGUE WELL. WE JUST HAVE TO PRAY FOR THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE SATAN HAS DECEIVED THEM AND IS USING THEM.
Base Your Relationships On God
Matthew 24:12 'And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.'
The only reason that an abundance of iniquity would make anyone's love for the Lord wax cold, is if he were not separated from that iniquity. As with Lot, a righteous man can vex his soul from day to day by hearing and seeing the unlawful deeds of the ungodly (2 Pet. 2:8).
We have to deal with the world's system and those in it, but we need to be careful and maintain proper balance. We should shun relationships with those who influence us negatively more than we influence them positively.
Marriage is one area where this principle is especially true....
I KNOW THERE ARE THINGS WE HAVE TO DO, AND NOT DO, TO HAVE OUR PRAYERS ANSWERED. WE CAN'T ASK ANYTHING THAT IS AGAINST GOD'S WILL, WE HAVE TO ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE PRAY, WE HAVE RECEIVED IT AND WE MUST HAVE FORGIVENESS IN OUR HEARTS. I SAY ALL THIS BECAUSE OF THESE VERSES.
JOHN 14:13-14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the...
Guard Against Deception
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
MATTHEW 24:3-5
Deception can be avoided or else Jesus would not have said, 'Take heed that no man deceive you.' Satan can only deceive those who allow him to do it.
Ephesians 6:11 tells us to 'Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.' Putting on the whole armour of God will protect you from the deception of the devil. Just wearing part of God's armour will not fully protect you. Many Christians have been running around with the helmet of salvation on but nothing else. There is more to overcoming the devil than just being saved. We have to understand our righteous...
You're Not Alone In Persecution
Luke 23:11 'And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.'
All of Christ's sufferings did not end when He finished His earthly ministry.
He still takes the persecution of His people personally as is revealed by His statement to Saul on the road to Damascus: 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?' He didn't ask Paul why he was persecuting His people. He said, 'Why are you persecuting Me?' When we are persecuted for righteousness' sake, it is actually Christ who is being persecuted.
One of the most trying aspects of persecution is the feeling that God...
