it all comes down to a cross, an empty cross. A victorious cross. Without the cross there is no sacrifice. Without a sacrifice there is no shedding of blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Without remission we remain in our lost state.  What is even more incredible is that if you […]

  From the beginning of my Christian walk I have interested in, intrigued by end times – the time when Jesus comes back for His church. Though man continues to try and determine just when this will happen, the scriptures are clear: (Jesus speaking) “It is not for you to know times or seasons which

  The question really is… if you haven’t made Jesus Lord of your life, what if you’rewrong? You really can’t imagine how critical and defining your decision is. Because, it still is a decision when you choose to not accept His gift. Though I believe it’s never a one and done offer – He keeps

  We all understand who God is, and we all understand who Jesus is, acceptance in both cases is not the issue. But… the third person of the God Head, the Holy Spirit, is undoubtedly the least understood and the least appreciated.

What I am attempting to do is to have you look at the ‘type’ of Christian you are.Which of these three conditions: ? or . or ! describes you? Let me define them and then you can see

  I know I’ve written about what is available to us when we accept the Lord’s invitation to believe on Him before but I believe it bears repeating, besides, it’s totally impossible to cover the depth and breadth of the subjects I choose in only 4 paragraphs. In this particular case, I’m referencing salvation. First – we

  What?! James 1:3 says, “…count it all joy when you fall into various trials,” He’s got to be kidding, yes? Maybe he has a different definition of ‘joy’ than you and I do. But why would he say to count it joy when you are in various trials? Trials may be a method to

  What if… for just one day you put God and His word first? This would mean that you would have to read it and DO what it says – to the best of your ability. There are only a few behaviors that you would really need to focus on. Using scripture as the basis, God
