Becoming A Christian

Jim — Tue, 05 Mar 2019 00:32:10 +0000

The Forgiveness of Sins There is only one purpose for seeking to have your sins forgiven, and that one purpose is so that you can receive the promise from God, of spending eternity in heaven, and avoid spending eternity in hell. If you don’t believe in heaven and hell, then there is no reason to seek to have your sins forgiven. As a matter of fact, a person who...

The Kingdom And The Church

Jim — Sat, 23 Jun 2018 23:15:55 +0000

What’s the Difference Between the Kingdom and the Church? Listen to Colosians 1:13; “For He has delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son.” This verse tells us that God Himself, “transfers” Christians into the kingdom of His Son. He takes Christians out of the world, and He puts them into His kingdom. Now listen to Acts...

How Does God Give Life To Your Mortal Body ?

Jim — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 18:28:17 +0000

God Gives Life to our Mortal Bodies Please listen to Romans 8, verses 6 thru 9; “For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit, is life and peace. Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God. For it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to...

Don’t Touch Me, For I Have Not Yet Ascended

Jim — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 02:09:28 +0000

John 20:17 In the King James Version, John 20:17 reads like this; “Jesus saith unto her; Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brethren and say unto them; I ascend unto My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.” This was said to Mary Magdalene, on the morning of Christ’s resurrection. A...

Are You Male or Female ?

Jim — Sat, 24 Feb 2018 03:35:41 +0000

You Are All One In Christ! Your body has a gender, but your spirit does NOT! It is our spirits that enter into a covenant relationship with Christ, and Galatians 3:28 tells us, “..there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ.” Your body is not who you are. Your spirit is who you are. God told the prophet Jeremiah, in Jeremiah 1:5;...

What’s The Value Of My Soul ?

Jim — Tue, 09 Jan 2018 15:42:21 +0000

“What would a man give, in exchange for his soul?” That’s a question that Jesus asked a multitude of people one day. Just prior to asking that question, Jesus asked this one; “For what does it profit a man, if he were to gain the whole world, and forfeit his own soul? (Mark 8:36-37). The question speaks for itself, there is nothing more valuable than you soul! ...

The Narrow Minded Christian

Jim — Fri, 07 Apr 2017 18:11:10 +0000

The Narrow Way Jesus said, in Mathew 7:13-14, “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow, that leads to life, and few there be who find it.” The apostle John wrote in 2 John, verses 9-11, “Anyone...

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

Jim — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 18:34:11 +0000

“Perfect love casts out fear”. Those words are part of 1 John 4, verse 18. What does that mean? “Perfect love, casts out fear”. Does that mean that if you could love “perfectly” that you’d never be afraid of anything in your life? Does that mean you won’t be afraid of snakes and spiders, or afraid of the dark, or whatever it is that you might...

How Do You View The Bible ?

Jim — Sun, 18 Dec 2016 14:24:33 +0000

This is a question for you, the reader. How do you personally, view the bible? Do you believe the bible is the 100%, inspired and inerrant word of God? Or do you believe the bible was written simply by the efforts of man alone, and that the bible expresses the opinions and beliefs of man alone, and is therefore only as “good” as the men who wrote it? ...

Thoughts From A Treetop

Jim — Tue, 06 Dec 2016 02:31:48 +0000

The Story Of Jesus and Zacchaeus In Luke 19:1-10, the bible tells us a story about a man named Zacchaeus, who wanted to see Jesus. I wonder how many people would want to see Jesus today, if He were to come to your town? Well, Jesus had entered the town of Jericho, and was passing through it, we’re told in Luke 19:1. “And there was a man there...

What Must We Do – If We Expect To Get To Heaven ?

Jim — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:44:50 +0000

Spiritual Thoughts In our previous “Spiritual Thoughts” lesson, Jesus made it perfectly clear, that there are obviously things that we MUST DO, to get to heaven. He Asked in Luke 6:46, “Why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and not DO what I say?” Obviously those who where calling him, Lord, Lord, did in fact believe in Him. But Jesus said, “That’s not enough just to BELIEVE,...

Don’t Read This – Unless You Want to Go to Heaven

Jim — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 22:57:19 +0000

Spiritual Thoughts Just the other day I was talking to someone about God and the bible. And I asked him, “Do you know that the bible says you must do to be saved?” And his answer was, “Believe in Jesus”. That’s by far the most common answer that people will give to that question. And the bible affirms, you MUST believe in Jesus. Jesus Himself...

Blessed Are They

Jim — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 02:53:42 +0000

The Blessings of Jesus “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Mat 5:3. The poor in spirit are those who are humble and gentle in nature. Not the proud, not the pushy, not those who demand their own way. Jesus said in Mat 11:29, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me. For I am humble and...
