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.

There Is Only One Way To The Father
John 14:5 'Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?'
JOHN 14:5-6
Thomas knew Jesus. He just didn't realize Jesus was 'the way.' Likewise, people today know portions of God's Word but they don't realize that God's Word is their way to victory. Often, people cry out for God to speak to them while their Bible lays unopened on their nightstand. God has spoken to us through His Word. We just need to believe it and receive its truths as our way to victory.
Jesus didn't say: 'I am a way, a truth, and a life.' He claimed to be the only way, truth, and life. No man can come to the Father except through Jesus. This means that anyone who claims to...
DO YOU QUESTION SOME OF THE THINGS YOUR PASTOR SAYS OR DO YOU JUST THINK IT IS TRUE BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS? THERE ARE MANY FALSE TEACHERS OUT THERE AND WE SHOULD QUESTION EVERYTHING THEY SAY AND IF IT DOES NOT LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD, THEN WE SHOULD SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM THEM.
Our Comfort Is In Eternity
John 14:2 'In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.'
This is Jesus' last teaching to His disciples before His crucifixion. Jesus' disciples were about to go through the greatest test of their faith that they had ever encountered. Jesus said that He was saying these things so His disciples would not be offended. Jesus was preparing them for what was to come. Why then speak of preparing them a mansion in heaven? The reason for this was to comfort the disciples and help them put things in perspective. In 1 Thessalonians 4:18, Paul tells us to comfort one another with words about being gathered unto the Lord in the air. Paul said again, 'I reckon that the...
YOU CAN BE HEALED OF ADDICTIONS
ARE YOU AN ADDICT? I WAS, AND THE FIRST STEP TO BEING HEALED IS ADMITTING IT. YES, I SAID HEALED. IT IS A SICKNESS AND THESE DAYS THEY HAVE MEDICINE TO HELP WITH MOST ADDICTIONS. HOWEVER, THERE IS A BETTER WAY AND THAT IS IN JESUS.
Turn Back To God
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 God. Repentance and putting faith in God are corresponding synonyms to conversion.
The theological basis for conversion lies in the truth of the 'atonement.'
Although man lapses into sin, the truth of the atonement remains. When men turn to God in repentance and faith, the effects of the atonement - reconciliation and forgiveness - avail.
The apostle Paul expresses the act of conversion in this way:...
MERCY, THE REAL MEANING
Our Success Is In God
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 realize that as long as we are in this mortal body, we cannot fall asleep at our battle station against the works of the flesh. If we do, our flesh is just as capable of sin as anyone else's. If we fall, it should concern us but not surprise us. We should simply realize with Paul, that 'in my flesh dwelleth no good thing,' get back into the spirit through confession and forgiveness, and go on with Jesus.
The Lord...
