“Forcible revolution is not the Biblical way to correct social evils. The cause of man’s inhumanity lies in his own fallen nature. The Gospel attacks the root cause, and offers a new creation in Christ Jesus” (2 Cor. 5:17).

William MacDonald

"If we could only find some means of curing everybody of disease, of feeding them and putting them on a good social basis, what a marvelous thing it would be". That is the way we are being told that the kingdom of God is to be established on this earth. “We do not need any more of this talk about the Atonement, and the shedding of blood; what is needed today is to spend ourselves for others. “That is the lure of the wrong road to the kingdom, and we cannot keep out of it if we forget to watch and pray. “Watch with Me,” said Jesus, “Mine is the only road to the kingdom.”

Oswald Chambers

3 Reasons To Fear God - By John MacArthur

Woodpecker Defies Evolution (Dr. Jobe Martin)

Have You Thought About Your Soul?

Have you ever stopped to wonder, what this life is all about? Why you’re here and where you’re going when your lease on time runs out?

Maybe you’ve been far too busy, trying hard to reach your goal; would you let me ask you kindly, have you thought about your soul?

You may reach the highest portals, and your dreams may all come true; wealth and fame may be your portion, and success may shine on you.

All your friends may sing your praises, not a care on you may roll; what about the great tomorrow?....Have you thought about your soul?

Don’t forget your days are numbered, though you may be ridin’ high; but like all of us poor mortals, someday you’ll just up and die.

Your success and fame and glory won’t be worth the bell they toll; let me ask you just one question, have you thought about your soul?

If you’ve never thought it over, spend a little time today; there is nothing more important that will ever come your way, than the joy of sins forgiven, and to know you’ve been made whole.

In the name of Christ the Savior, have you thought about your soul?

Quotable:

“Second Corinthians 5:10 assures us, “We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.” Do you really believe as a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ that there will be a day on which you will stand before His throne? We will each go one-on-one with the God of this universe. Can you imagine that? Do you think it will matter on that day whether you told a very lost and dying world about the only answer for a soul…Jesus? Yes, it will. It will matter whether you shared the most precious thing you have with everyone you could.”

Mark Cahill

From the book: One Thing You Can’t Do in Heaven

MADE FREE BY CONFINEMENT

I had reached a point in my life where I had come to the conclusion that life really had no meaning. No matter what I pursued in life…college, the military, relationships, etc., nothing seemed to bring the internal fulfillment, purpose, peace, and stability I so much desired. There were fundamental questions to life that began to nag at me such as: Why am I here?...What is the purpose to life?...and where am I going when I die? I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church believing there was probably a God, but didn’t understand all the confusion of different religions, denominations, traditions, evolutionary teachings, and so-forth. Which was to be trusted as the truth?

I grew up very insecure, bitter, lonely, and depressed…partly due I believe to the dysfunction of my family upbringing. I was raised in the small town of Thorp in west-central Wisconsin during the 1980’s, and although far from a terrible childhood (as compared to many others), I was primarily raised from six months old by my grandparents, and this bred some of the insecurity and confusion as I reached middle school. In high school I became rebellious (as so typical nowadays), and began to party hard with so-called friends and do small thefts. Living off of these highs seemed to ease some of my inadequacies (or so I thought). It’s a much more complex story…but it finally all escalated with me committing an armed robbery of a hometown convenience store at age 21. A part of me back then believed I could pull off any stunt I put my mind to and get away with it, but another part deep within myself said that it would likely all end sooner or later…and it did…when the law finally caught up with me about a half a year later in Montana. I was then extradited back to Wisconsin for burglary, and then released on bail while the D.A. was developing more charges concerning the robbery and such. While out on bail and examining where my life had gone, I was very much suicidal and feeling in despair. A few times, I had loaded my handgun and was going to end my life, but always ended up pondering on my family and the devastation it would bring them (especially to my Dad). One time, I even intoxicated myself thinking somehow this would make me braver to pull the trigger, but I could never gather the courage to do so. As I now know, this was not courage, but cowardness in facing the truth, and a strong attempt by the enemy Satan to destroy me (John 10:10). At this point, I was very unstable in all my ways and quite possibly could have harmed or even killed someone else if pressed the wrong way. But thanks be to God; one day, while still out on bail, I was surprised by the police at work and brought in on new charges. This time, however, my family decided I was not getting out on bail.

In the county jail (while sitting alone at night in my cell), I began to see the pride and selfishness of all I had done in my life. There was a minister who came in weekly, and one evening I decided in my guilt and despair to attend one of his Bible studies. This man began speaking much differently than the so-called spiritual leaders of the church I grew up in. He spoke about having a personal relationship with Christ, versus the empty outward religious practices and traditions I was raised to believe in. He talked about being born-again (as Jesus said was essential in John 3:3) by believing that Jesus shed His blood for our sins on the cross, and that a person could know for sure, according to the Scriptures, whether they are going to heaven or hell when they die (1 John 5:13). At the time, I really didn’t understand or even pay that much attention, but still felt drawn to go to his weekly studies. One night, this guy was talking about Bible prophecy, and brought to light the astronomical odds of all this prophecy (written hundreds of years earlier) being fulfilled to the very letter. This caught my attention and prompted me to investigate the Bible further. When I earnestly and diligently sought for the truth from the Scriptures, it didn’t take long for the Lord to show me that His Word was indeed true, and could be trusted concerning all matters of life (2 Timothy 3:16). From a young age, I always had a feeling that there was something unique and authentic about the Bible (as opposed to all other writings in the world). Being raised in the Roman Catholic Church there was very little to no Bible reading, and the people there seemed to be living the same troubled lifestyles with no answers like myself.

A few weeks later, the minister asked the Bible study group if there was anyone who believed and was truly serious about serving the Lord, to repent and trust Christ as Lord and Savior of their life. That night, with godly sorrow over my sin, I believed and asked Christ into my heart. Shortly after, as I kept seeking and reading the Bible, I began to understand the full dynamics of believing the Gospel, repenting of sin, and that I had been born again by the Holy Spirit (John 3: 5-8). I must admit that (in my ignorance) it took some time to free me from the bondage of my upbringing, but eventually as I continued to study I was able to trade in my false religion and traditions for an all sufficient Savior (Ephesians 2:8-10, Romans 4:5).

It has now been over 11 years since I accepted my Lord and Savior, and He continues to work in my life and richly bless me daily. Since my release from prison in 2007 the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful supporting wife of over 6 years and 3 children. Although my greatest trials have come after my conversion, I have still found that He is faithful and that true freedom and hope are in Him (John 8:32, 36). I was actually facing a possible 180 years with all my crimes accumulated, but the Lord granted me the mercy and grace of only five years in prison and seven years of probation.

As Jesus assured us, we all as born-again biblical Christians have trials and fall short of the glory of God daily (John 16:33, Romans 3:23-24). But through time and study of God’s Word, the Lord continues to break down strongholds in our lives (Acts 3:26, Philippians 4:13, 1 John 4:4). As children of God, it is a matter of us continually battling the self-willed flesh, and trusting and submitting to His will daily (Matthew 26:41, Luke 9:23, 1 Timothy 6:11). As we do this, He will replace the negative feelings, emotions, and sinful ambitions with the fruit of His love, peace, joy, hope, and will (Galatians 5:22-25). I have found that then (and only then) am I able to manifest these fruits of His Spirit to obey His Word and fulfill His purpose and plan for my life.

Looking back, I see many heartaches and failures that sometimes rear up (under certain circumstances) with guilt and shame, but as I look at the sovereignty of God, the price that was paid for my sin, and my identity in Christ, I now know that my past was not in vain and has much potential for the future in bringing glory to His name (2 Corinthians 5:17).

After Death, What?

How many times have you looked into a casket, seen the face of the deceased, and listened to the following statements: “He sure has suffered, but he is better off now,” or “She is at peace, never to suffer anymore”?

Dear reader, if the deceased had accepted Christ as Lord and Savior and had been born again, these are correct statements. The Apostle Paul said this of Christians: “Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” (2 Corinthians 5:6-8).

However, if the deceased died in a lost spiritual condition, his troubles have just begun. The instant his soul leaves his body, it goes directly to hell to burn forever and ever. “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalm 9:17). The Bible states that hell is a place “Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” (Mark 9:44). Listen to the voice of the rich man crying out from hell: ”And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in the flame.” (Luke 16:22-24).

Perhaps someone looked at the face of this rich man as he was prepared for burial, and remarked that he was at peace now, never to suffer anymore. How wrong their statement would have been! As they were saying beautiful words over his body, his soul was screaming from the pits of hell. Suffering does not end at death for a lost person. After ten million years of eternity, he will still be burning. If you are spiritually lost and die in that condition, then you too will be doomed to a burning hell.

You might wonder what you must do to escape this torment in hell. The answer is the same one that Jesus gave to Nicodemus. “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3). Just as you were born physically, you must be born spiritually to reach the portals of heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

You are not promised another day on this earth. Tomorrow might be too late. Now is the time to do something about your lost condition. “…For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation…” (2Corinthians 6:2). Right now, while there is still life in your body, will you repent of your sins and call upon Jesus Christ to come into your heart and save your soul? “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be save…For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:9,13). “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12). The decision is yours. Where will your soul be when they are preaching your funeral? Your life might end before another hour passes and your soul will be somewhere for eternity. Will you receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and be confident of everlasting life in heaven?

If you will accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please pray this prayer with all of your heart:

Dear God, I admit I am a sinner, going to hell. I know that I cannot save myself. I repent of my sins and put my faith in the blood that you shed for me on the cross to pay for all my sins. I now accept you as my Savior, submit to you as Lord, and trust you to take me to heaven. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

Trust Him

Trust Him when dark doubts assail you.

Trust Him when your strength is small.

Trust Him when to simply trust Him, seems the hardest thing of all.

Trust Him, He is ever faithful.

Trust Him for His will is best.

Trust Him for the heart of Jesus, is the only place of rest.

Trust Him, then, through doubts and sunshine; all your cares upon Him cast.

Till the storm of life is over, and the trusting days are past.

Quotable:

Oh, for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free;

A heart that’s trusting in the blood

So freely shed for me.

A humble, lowly, contrite heart,

Believing, true, and clean,

Which neither death nor life can part

From Him that dwells within.

Charles Wesley

God Of Wonders (Full Length Documentary)

I prayed for Faith, and thought that some day Faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But Faith did not seem to come.

One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, “Now Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” I had closed my Bible, and prayed for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since.

D. L. Moody

Quotable:

“The vigor of our Spiritual Life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts. I solemnly state this from experience of fifty-four years.”

“The first three years after conversion I neglected the Word of God. Since I began to search it diligently the blessing has been wonderful. I have read the Bible through one hundred times, and always with increasing delight. Each time it seems like a new book to me. Great has been the blessing from consecutive, diligent, daily study. I look upon it as a lost day when I have not had a good time over the Word of God.”
