It is obvious there are different types of love God has appointed to our souls. There is the holy, reverential love to God, Himself. The union of husband and wife in holy matrimony is another kind – symbolic of Christ and His bride – the Church. Another type is that of saintly love between the brethren. And this is what this “Joy Story” is about. Here is the true story of that type love – love at first…..
SATAN HATES A LOT OF THINGS… such as being formerly known as Lucifer, morning star, son of the dawn. No longer allowed to lead in any capacity in Heaven, Lucifer has fallen. He also is outraged that Jesus Christ will crush his head soon. Some of his biblical knowledge (and he has a lot!) burdens him beyond his ability to defeat his destination. It informs him he will be thrown into lake of burning sulfur: and not…..
Isaiah 45:22-25 “Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’” All who have raged against him will come to him and be put to…..
ON HELL! WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU warned anyone of Hell? God has impressed upon me to think about the fact that most people don’t want to… Selah. Why? My first thought and full belief is that they don’t care! Selah. I hope I am wrong, wrong, wrong! But: Matthew 7:13-14 “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…..
PLEASE STAY WITH ME IN THIS CRUCIAL TEACHING: it is a Joy Story! SUICIDE IS A VERY HORRIFIC THING… it is never the answer. Years ago I have had the privilege of counseling two men separately on this always relevant subject. Thank God both of these men, both past their thirty’s, listened to my wise counsel. All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because I love the Lord and listen to Him, He…..
Dear God, I surrender to you now, right now. I am done in trying to invent a working lifestyle without you. I humble myself and call out to You. I’m done with lying, with pretending, and explaining away ungodliness… Romans 1:18-21 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God…..
Don’t believe me? Study and learn. And then, hopefully, you too will have the joy of the LORD as I always do! Whether you believe God or not: He is. And He tells us repeatedly about His kingdom. And because the God of the Bible is holy, loving and perfect, He knows He must warn all of the perils of the pits of Hell. Selah. We are in a war: each and every one of us. We choose…..
There is a great chasm of difference between the struggles of the sinner and saint. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so…..
“You weren’t ready…” Are you kidding me!? Sometimes Christians get things wrong. (And: I take a great pleasure by saying: “Duh!”) I’ll say it again: “Duh!” Even pastors can be wrong! Why? Who is the only One who is omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient? Right! God, the One who created all! Selah. With that in mind, I want you to grow and think like the Berean Jews in Acts: Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more…..
I did it! I stapled several pages together… and: the stapler DID NOT JAM! Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
