The End of the world…

We need not to worry about dying… When you die, don’t worry about your body… Your relatives and funeral staff will take care of it. I know this for sure, I’ve been there… and done that. They will take you out of the house and deliver you to the funeral home of your family’s choice. They will take off your …

Church Attendance…

The other day a question came up, “Why aren’t there more people in church? I started thinking about this… Really… Why aren’t more people in church???

This …

I’m a Good Person…

I’m a good person, so I’ll go to Heaven. God doesn’t send good people to hell. Somehow some believe that being a good person opens the gates of Heaven for you.

Death is Coming…

It’s been said there are only two things in life we can be sure of… Taxes and Death. We really don’t have any control over either one. The government tells us how much tax to pay and when to pay it. And as for death… We know it’s coming but we don’t know when or how it will happen. So …

CPR Needed…

Have you notice lately, how many church closings and Church buildings being put up for sale. My hope is that they outgrew the building and moved to a larger one. But the reality is, they can’t exist because of lack of support and growth. These churches were once a hospital for the spiritual sick and dying, but now a lot …

Choices…

This week I had someone ask me “Why does God send people to Hell? After all God is Good, God is Love, and God is Merciful. So, why would he send and torture anyone or anything? He when on to say that everyone should go to Heaven.  These are very good questions I replied, let me try to give you …

Is God a part of your life?

During a recent conversation, a gentleman told me that God was a part of his life.  As we parted ways, I started thinking about our conversation and what he meant by saying “God is a part of his life.” Just what did he mean?  I think God is a part of our life, whether we are a believer or not.  …

Christian?

This week I would like to talk about our Christian beliefs. Pew Research shows 65% of American adults profess to be Christians. Of those that identify as Christians, 43% claim to be protestant and 20% as Catholic. I Guess the real question is… How many of those professing to be Christians are true born-again believers. True born-again believers are the ones who …

The other day I came across a news feed of a live gay pride parade promoting this lifestyle. There were some comments in the feed about how God’s love and supports the Gay movement. They were using the scriptures about God’s love and twisting them to say this lifestyle was okay and approved by God. It is true that God …
