BE GOOD TO YOURSELF - FORGIVE

Thu, 17 May 2012 20:15:00 GMT

There are many benefits of the glorious gospel but there is no benefit more powerful, transforming and far reaching than true biblical forgiveness. The word in Greek means to let go and free another from all sins and charges, in the very same degree Jesus has done for us. Ephesians 4:32, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” “Forgiven and forgiving” describe the true Christian person

ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS?

Thu, 03 May 2012 15:15:00 GMT

Jesus asserted that no man knows the “days or hour” He will return (Matthew 24:36). However, Jesus Himself describes in two ways the conditions that will prevail on earth prior to His return:

“AND GO TELL PETER TO MEET ME”

After Jesus arose from the dead, He met with individuals, small groups, and large crowds (1 Cor. 15:6), but He summoned only one person by name to meet Him - Simon Peter - Mark 15:7. Why? The Bible does not explicitly say, but I believe it was because we have much to learn from “Loud-Mouth Peter,” which the saga of his life cogently reveals as follows:

LISTEN! JESUS IS SPEAKING TO YOU -PERSONALLY FROM THE CROSS THIS WEEK

Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:03:00 GMT

The Bible is Jesus talking to us personally, and He is speaking to us loudly and movingly as we approach Easter. Last Words are significant when spoken by great men and women, but the 7 Last Words of the Son of God from the Cross are not only profoundly significant, but they are utterly PERSONAL, PERVASIVE, AND PERFECT IN NUMBER (7). Let us, therefore, ponder these words, and be able to answer pertinent questions to follow:

SATAN’S FINAL STEP IN DESTROYING TRUE MARRIAGE: SAME SEX MARRIAGE

Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:41:00 GMT

Historically, to destroy marriage, children and civilization Satan has assaulted the family- Hitler, Communism. His efforts are finally within reach of his goal as his followers are “moving heaven and earth” to institute “Same-Sex Marriage” throughout all 50 States if our Union. Please observe with me as we identify seven discernible steps in the scenario:

WHAT WILL REALLY BE IMPORTANT WHEN WE TAKE OUR LAST BREATH ON EARTH?

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:51:00 GMT

Modern life has been described as consisting of three experiences: HURRY, WORRY, and BURY. One pundit observed that the average American is so busy that he has to eat breakfast in the shower.

However, the older I get the more I realize that fewer and fewer things are truly important. When I was a teen-ager, every thing was important. I thought, but when I reached 30 I sensed that fewer things are really important and at 50 the really important things became fewer and fewer. This progression continues on and on into the sunset years of life. Therefore, if only a few things are really important when we end this life, should we not be living for those things now, no matter where we are in the age continuum? A question any serious believer should ask himself is, “AM I ready to die?” because no one is ready to die until he is ready to live.

WHAT TO DO IN CRISES WHEN THERE IS NO HUMAN SOLUTION

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 14:24:00 GMT

Did you ever face a crisis so great that there was no human solution? I am sure you have if you have spent a few years on planet earth. As a pastor for fifty years, shepherding God’s people in churches ranging from 85 to 8000 in membership, I have faced my share of such crises.

THE ONE BIG QUESTION TODAY: WILL I GO WHEN HE COMES?

Thu, 23 Feb 2012 13:55:00 GMT

Do you realize that one day the world will wake up and read the headline of our daily paper to say, “WHERE HAS EVERYBODY GONE?” For while “A multitude which no man can number” are gone, a much greater number are “LEFT BEHIND.”

PORNOGRAPHY: KIDDING YOURSELF OR KILLING IT

Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:52:00 GMT

The Spread of Pornography - 2 Timothy 3:13 declares, “Evil men will grow worse and worse” in the end times. This prophecy is being fulfilled now in the growth and profusion of Pornography. A generation ago people still had a little shame about the use of Pornography. Those who sought it had to seek for it under “the counter” of magazine shops or else visit posts in Times Square, New York or Las Vegas.

WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO BE SAVED?

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:58:00 GMT

The word “Saved” is a very significant word among evangelical believers. But what does this word mean? The word saved implies that we are in GRAVE danger until we are SAVED. The question is “Saved from what?” For if saved, we were saved from something very dangerous - even deadly - SIN. However, many profess to be “Saved” with no reference to sin whatsoever:
