Hell is not just a word of profanity; hell is that place of torment away from God. The entrance into hell is not determined by the lottery or a stroke of bad luck, it has been left up for you to choose. Heaven is only a gamble to those who refuse its certainty. God has made it very clear that no one will enter His paradise without repentance and forgiveness of their sins. To assume there is another way is sheer folly, and attempting to justify your sins will only leave you discouraged and unforgiven. Just as sure as there [Read More…]
It astonishes me how so many refuse the true promises of God but, what is more, refuse His eternal love. Sin is terminal and to willingly indulge in it is fatal. I will admit that I am not the most eloquent or the most knowledgeable person that has ever walked this earth, but one thing that I praise God for is that I am also not one of the most foolhardy. I could never imagine a life without Him; and, even though I have not always been faithful, He has always been there for me. My life has never been [Read More…]
We are living in troubled times. Man through his impertinence has created a state of crisis. We have pushed God so far from our consciousness that we cannot see Him as an answer when He is in fact the only solution. What is so difficult with our accepting the truth and allowing God to meet all of our needs? How do we get ourselves out of the predicaments we have created when our pride and insolence cause us to desire those things that draw us deeper into life’s uncertainty? As we search for an answer, why do we become so [Read More…]
The devil is the author of discomfort and discontent; he will cause God’s people to forget their true place and purpose. So much of God’s plan is destroyed or left undone, not by the world, but by those that claim the name of God as their redeemer and savior. Being comfortable or discontent has no real place in the life of the Christian. Gaining what we see as desirable or needed will provide no solution to our dilemma. Having it our way only causes confusion and bewilderment. True peace in life can only be obtained by complete sacrifice and surrender. [Read More…]
There is confidently no negative about Jesus and Heaven, and there are positively no positives about the devil and hell. There are no similarities between the two. That is to say that they are never to be found in complete agreement. The devil is always in blatant opposition, opposing the righteous stand of God. He, the devil cannot and does not make policy; only the Lord God almighty has the power of original thinking or to command His universe. When you view the truth about good and evil as it is listed above, you can see the enormous differences. There [Read More…]
This one thing I have found difficult to understand or accept. We live under this organization that is known as a society or social order. Everything that we do is determined by this association or union and to doubt its authority is deemed as suicidal. Fashion, styles, what we are to eat and what we are to wear are all determined and fixed by this association or social order. In the past, society has been somewhat limited or at least been under the scrutiny of those that are considered conventional, those who have been called old-fashioned. Many of the past [Read More…]
One of the biggest reasons that so many people reject God is because they do not want to give up the sin that they are so deeply mired in. They seek to gain happiness and joy by fulfilling the lust of the flesh. Their evil predicament has cause them reprehensible guilt and shame. They have been fooled into believing that sin is the only pleasurable thing that they will have here on this earth. So many of the things that men and women do today are out of their incessant boredom and unobtainable joy, they are without perception and peace. [Read More…]
God is to be found blameless in all aspects of creation and if we are to gain any form of relevance or sanity we must line up or be harmonious to His divine will. The gifts and eternal blessings of God are for everyone. God created me and has given me the opportunity to become whosoever I choose. What God has done did not determine my value but has proven His magnificent love. The value of life is unmatchable; life is the essence of all being. When you take away life you have taken all that is truly important. God’s [Read More…]
It amazes me how we as individuals are so willing to do those things that this world demands when it is not willing and cannot give to us anything that is lasting or is of true importance. Being obligated to this world holds no true merit, while the selling of your soul will bring God’s judgment. Sin has blinded our eyes to the things of God and has caused us to choose those things that are not profitable. When we consider what God wants to give us, we immediately dismiss it as being too intrusive and demanding. We refuse [Read More…]
Don’t we all want what is justifiable and good? Do the judgments we make not seek to place us in a condition that is more sustainable and rewarding? Why do we seek to find holiness or perfection in those things that are evil and defiant? An attempt to justify what is evil is the action of a fool. To refuse the pardon given us through God’s love can in no way be an example of wisdom. The gift of God produces the righteous fruits of blessed atonement. Salvation or escape from the evil one can be our only deliverance. Jesus [Read More…]
