Searching for purpose? Follow Jesus!
“And [Jesus] said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Every human seeks significance: some pour their lives into occupations, hobbies, or even humanitarian pursuits. Others wholeheartedly embrace and promote philosophies or ideologies, and still others simply […]
Are you preparing to meet Jesus?
Have you ever looked forward to meeting someone so much that your heart began to beat faster and you couldn’t sit still? Maybe you paced the floor as you watched for the arrival of your friend or colleague. Or perhaps the upcoming meeting was not something that you anticipated, and you waited with dread and […]
REALLY? Dare to Investigate!
It is a sad testimony for a person to be ignorant, and it’s even sadder for that person to be deliberately ignorant. Yet many supposedly-intelligent people choose that very approach to the most-basic facets of their existence. The Bible speaks of those individuals when it says, “They deliberately overlook this fact [of the beginning of […]
When the World’s On Fire
FRIENDS, let us face the facts! This world is heading for a terrible day. God has forewarned us and provided a way of escape. If we make the mistake of not being ready, it will be our own fault. “The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which […]
Arrive Alive!
Foresight or “Farsight?” Tragedy strikes once every ten minutes on American highways. Five motorists die each hour amid twisted steel and shattered glass. Automobile accidents snuff out more than 800 lives every week and approximately 42,000 annually. “Dry statistics,” you say? Perhaps. But that doesn’t keep the odds from stacking up against you. Listen! The […]
Jesus Christ is Coming
Jesus Christ is coming again. The Bible says so. But why is He coming? What will He do when He comes? Why should His coming be important to me or you? To help answer those questions, let’s review why He came the first time. Why Did Jesus Come the First Time? Jesus said about Himself, […]
Eternity
How long is eternity? No end in sight! No end! Forever and for-ever! What startling words! The life God breathed into man makes man an eternal being-one whose life will never end. Man can hardly comprehend a period of one million years. But let’s try. A thousand years is ten times the life span of […]
Where will you be five minutes after you die?
THIS IS ONE of the most serious questions you will ever have to face. Where will you be five minutes after you die? No one can deny the fact of death. It was Ponce de Leon who came to Florida in 1569 searching for a fountain of water which would bring perpetual youth to all […]
The Simple Facts
The Simple Facts No one can be saved unless he is born again by the power of God’s Spirit. Christ says, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). The necessity is absolute—you must be born again. Performing religious rites will not take the place of the new birth. Baptism will not take the place of […]
You may do as you please
YOU MAY DO AS YOU PLEASE with God now. It is permitted. God placed Himself in men’s hands when He sent Jesus Christ into the world as perfect God and perfect Man in one Being. He was then in man’s hands. They cursed Him. It was permitted. Men spit on Him. God allowed it. They called […]
It Doesn’t Matter… Or Does It?
“IT DOESN’T MATTER what you believe, as long as you are sincere.” That’s what a plumbing salesman told me one day—and so many people have said the same thing that it is almost a proverb. We put a premium on sincerity, because it’s so rare in this age of sham. We all admire the sincere […]
Headed the Wrong Way
Is the route you are traveling taking you away from God? If so, it’s time to make a U-turn. God asks you to repent—to do an about-face. If you don’t, the consequences will be disastrous. God calls us to repent. God says that unless you repent you will perish (Luke 13:3). No one can have […]
Confession and Forgiveness
Do you ever wonder how you can be forgiven of your sins? Forgiven so completely that you are no longer guilty? God tells us how. 1. Confession is necessary if we wish God’s forgiveness. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all […]
Guilty or Forgiven?
GUILTY –or– FORGIVEN? “How do you plead?” the judge asked. I swallowed. I hadn’t realized how difficult this would be. “Guilty,” I answered. I would have liked to explain, to say that I am usually very law-abiding, to show how circumstances were different this time. But I knew the judge had probably heard every excuse […]
Heaven: how do you expect to get there?
Is this your answer? When I meet St. Peter at the gate, I hope I will be good enough. God says: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8, 9. Are you saying? All […]
If you die tonight? Heaven or Hell
Jesus said… “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36 NKJV) Will you go to heaven or hell when you die? We get a lot of calls from people, wondering if we […]
Where are you going? Heaven or Hell
Jesus said… “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36 NKJV) Heaven or Hell? What happens to men and women when they die? Do people simply cease to exist as some people […]
