Making Sure We Get To Heaven
1 Samuel 15.22…
Romans 2.7 promises, He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory
and honor and immortality that God offers.
Believing isn’t enough.
The regrettable consequence of the Church’s message these past 50 years is a culture mostly uncommitted to the ways and work of God. Since its founding by God, the Church has always had the responsibility to communicate who God is and what God requires of humanity. (more…)
Acts 26.20 simplifies the gospel to the Gentiles: that they should repent and turn to God, performing
deeds consistent with repentance. So what does God want from us?
The Apostle Paul says three things are expected: repent, turn to God and perform good deeds. This is a much better message than we have heard from the televangelist or the people who knock on our doors with religious information.
The message from the Church to the Gentile over the past 50 or so years has been that God wants people to believe in Him and by believing in Him they will be saved. (more…)
Acts 17.7 records, they are all guilty of treason against Caesar, for they profess allegiance to another
king, named Jesus.
Would you commit treason against your culture to identify personally with Jesus Christ? Have you committed treason against Jesus by denying Him before others? What about with your actions and lack of words? (more…)
Mark 4.19 observes, all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life, the lure of
wealth, and the desire for other things, so no fruit is produced.
The problem in America isn’t God but His people not obeying God. The will of God is for the people of God to love Him first and most resulting in their working for Him to establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. (more…)
Acts 5.41 observes, the apostles left the high council rejoicing that God had counted them worthy to

When the Church started it was considered a badge of honor to suffer for being a Christian. Today, we cower at being maligned for Jesus’ sake.
This fear of man has become greater than our fear of God with the result that most have not heard from Christians that all people must repent and be born again if they are to enter into eternal life. (more…)
Jeremiah 9.3 observes, they refuse to stand up for the truth. They only go from bad to worse. They do
not know me, says the LORD.
What is truth? Since at least 1960 the rhetoric has been that there is no truth. This belief has allowed social changes to occur by sweeping away thinking that previously held to certain belief’s about what is right and what is wrong. The result of this myth has been increasing societal chaos.
If we applied this belief to engineering or medicine we would have bridges collapsing, planes crashing, and surgery’s going horribly awry. Math and science depend upon truth so that they can reach conclusions upon which they can base further premises. (more…)
Jeremiah 4.4 records, O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the LORD, or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire because of all your sins.
America is increasingly becoming more chaotic. Things are obviously out of control. Many people look for God to fix them.
Our thinking is that since He is all-powerful and loving He should want to end the trouble and has the power to do so. Yet it is not God causing the trouble. It is man against man that is creating our chaos. (more…)
Matthew 15.11 defines, it’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.
The Muslims are wrapping up their holy week most characterized by fasting from sunup until sundown. Fasting has been used by religious people of all stripes from all time as a means to appease the gods and or garner their attention.
Christians have used fasting historically not so much for these purposes but to discipline the flesh so that we obey the Spirit. (more…)
Matthew 11.20 records, Jesus began to criticize openly the cities in which he had done many of His
miracles, because they did not repent.
When God came to earth He did much good. God fed people, thousands of people. God healed people, lots of people. God raised people from the dead returning children to brokenhearted parents.
All that God did when He lived among us as one of us in Jesus the Savior was good but He didn’t come to do good works for our temporary benefit. (more…)
