If we’re are honest with ourselves, most of us are not that lovable. That’s why relationships are difficult. I tell young people that the first couple times you go on a date with someone is the best you will see of him or her. It’s all down hill from there. I am being a bitContinue reading “Does God Really Love Me?”

How Can You Have Two Birthdays in the Same Year?
Jesus said unless you are born again one cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. (John 3:3) This confused Nicodemus, who was a religious leader. The concept of being “born again” perplexed him. Nicodemus said to Jesus, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’sContinue reading “How Can You Have Two Birthdays in the Same Year?”
Can a Real Believer Depart from the Faith?
Falling away generally is referred to as backsliding. It is defined as one who once believed but now has departed from the faith. The are some who believe that a ‘real’ Christian could never depart from the faith. ‘Genuine’ believers could never fall away. However, does the Bible actually teach that? Justification is the actContinue reading “Can a Real Believer Depart from the Faith?”
Christ is Risen
“Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead. But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen… And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also thoseContinue reading “Christ is Risen”
The Next Russian Invasion
When I was a kid, the television would run ads of Nikita Khrushchev, the premier of the Soviet Union, saying to us, “We will bury you”. The United States was in a cold war with Russia. It was definitely a scary time. In 1962 the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, only 90 milesContinue reading “The Next Russian Invasion”
Why are Major Rivers Drying UP?
Currently, I am working on a short book on the converging Biblical signs that are pointing to the end times. One thing I found very interesting is that certain rivers in the world are drying up. The Bible actually predicted that this would happen during the last days. Our salvation may be nearer than weContinue reading “Why are Major Rivers Drying UP?”
Are You a Good Person?
Most of us think that we are good. I’ve talked to hundreds of people over the last few years at outreach events and about 95% respond in the affirmative to the question, “Are you a good person?” Almost all people believe God will accept them into heaven based on their personal goodness. Some reason, “Well,Continue reading “Are You a Good Person?”
The Bible, Why Should You Read It?
A few years ago, from time to time a fellow would say to me, “If you don’t read the Bible, then I think you’re probably not saved”. There were a number of years that I didn’t read and study God’s word. Was I not saved? According to him, probably not. I guess the thief onContinue reading “The Bible, Why Should You Read It?”
God’s Life Insurance Policy
The first aspect of salvation, being delivered from the penalty of sin, is similar to life insurance. Because of Adam’s disobedience, we inherit his nature at birth. We are born physically alive but spiritually dead; separated from our Creator. To receive true life, one first must recognize that he or she is a helpless sinnerContinue reading “God’s Life Insurance Policy”
Does God offer us Fire Insurance or Life Insurance?
Most people have insurance on their home. It would be pretty ridiculous not to have it. My eldest son almost burned down the house once when he was frying hamburgers on the stove. He went to do something in his room, forgot about them, and filled most of the house with burnt burger smoke. HeContinue reading “Does God offer us Fire Insurance or Life Insurance?”
