• THE GREATEST GATE

    “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” —Matthew 7:13-14 I have heard people say, “Well, I don’t have much of a testimony.” What they are saying is that they were not involved in some gross lifestyle before they trusted the Lord Jesus. But, this is a wrong focus. Every person who has come to Jesus Christ has a powerful testimony because it is about coming through the narrow gate. Jesus is that Narrow Gate—…

  • HOMOSEXUALITY

    Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.” Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him and said, “No, my friends. Don’t do this wicked thing. —Genesis 19:4-6 Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens. —Genesis 19:24 The arguments for homosexuality are so illogical and fraudulent. People can do what they want to do. I am…

  • TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD!

    Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?” —Genesis 17:17 I had met with my neighbors awhile back for coffee and we got into a discussion about a woman who had a child when she was 90 years old. My neighbors, being in their mid 80’s laughed, especially the wife. “How can a woman that old have a child?” was her response. So I had the opportunity to share the historical story of Abraham and Sarah and how the Lord God Almighty enabled them to have a…

  • LOVE AS GOD DOES

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? —Matthew 5:43-47 Who do you hang around with? Only others…

  • TEMPTED

    Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. —Matthew 4:1 In Matthew 6:13 we read, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” God does not tempt anyone and we see that in James 1:13— “When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone.” Satan is called the “tempter” in Matthew 4:3. He is the one behind temptation and “each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed” (James 1:14). Satan is the tempter, the enticer to…

  • THE CREATOR

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. —Genesis 1:1 “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” —Matthew 1:20 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. —Hebrews 11:3 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. —Hebrews 11:6 From what I have read atheists make up 11% of the world’s…

  • BE READY!

    “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. —Revelation 22:20 What excites us? The football game is on soon? I’m going to get a message soon? Payday? Spring? Vacation? A new baby? Does the fact that Jesus is returning soon excite you? His coming could be in our life time! We are given signs to be looking for and they are definitely increasing (Matthew 24). Yes we are getting closer. Even so come Lord Jesus. May we be found faithful when we meet Him at His coming or through death! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysWIv4DJ7QI&list=PLcHqC9YNzSaD-O-rkP9o8hDA9jJ_oja4l&index=9 Dear Father, the sun rises for another day. Oh may the day when Jesus’ glory pierces the day…

  • THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS IS COMING AGAIN!

    BE READY! “Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me… —Revelation 15:15 Jesus came that first Christmas as a baby and was born in a manger. He was the Lamb that would be slain on the cross for our sins. He did not travel very far from His earthly home while He lived on earth. He was not known by much of the world’s population during His life on this planet. The next time He comes He will be coming as a Lion to judge this world and none will ignore or escape Him. The whole world will know it when…

  • THE BEST IS AHEAD!

    I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them. And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty. Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you,…

  • CHILDREN AT RISK!

    He (Satan) stood in front of the woman as she was about to give birth, ready to devour her baby as soon as it was born. —Revelation 12:4 Children all too often become the objects of adult’s abuse. We read of ISIS killing children http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/07/02/isis-executioners-spare-no-one-killing-74-children-for-crimes-including-not.html and this was not the only time these butchers did this http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/video-allegedly-shows-isis-murdering-200-syrian-children-article-1.2428322. Then we have sick sexual predators using their positions to promote abuse http://www.creationmoments.com/radio/transcripts/evolutionist-defends-pedophilia and http://www.wnd.com/2014/01/pedophilia-the-next-sexual-rights-revolution/. Planned Parenthood and all the abuse taking place there but is just being shrugged off for the most part http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/15/health/planned-parenthood-undercover-video/. Yes, Satan likes to go after the most helpless among us— children. So it was when Jesus was…
