John 14:6

I believe the enemy has, for a very long time, deceived untold hundreds of millions about the very real location known to us as Hell. Today, many are living their lives under the false belief that “only bad people go to hell” or “I’m a good person, I help others and I believe there is a God, so I’m not going to hell”.

Deception.

Contrary to popular belief, hell is not a place reserved for only “bad” people. In fact, whether you wind up there or not isn’t affected at all by how “good” or “bad” you were in your life. Your final destination rests on one simple question – What is your relationship to the Messiah, to God’s Only Son, to the one who was broken and crushed by the Father for your iniquities?

Think about this . . . every single person who ends up in Hell will have just one thing in common. Do you know what that is? Read the rest of this entry »

I have recently observed a very depressing lesson about humanity and the sheer depravity of the human condition. When Our Father states that man is in enmity with Him, He is absolutely telling the truth.

I was just told by a self-described “former believer” (in Christianity) that they “didn’t choose” to not believe in God. It wasn’t their choice to deny Christ, you see. Of course, after a little correspondence, it is clear that to this person, “choice” has very little to do with anything. Homosexuality? That’s not a choice. Believing in God? Nope, not a choice, either.

I’m sure there are many other things this individual has no “choice” to believe in. Read the rest of this entry »

One thing I hear a lot from unbelievers, particularly strong secular humanists and atheists, is that religion is for the weak-minded. An “opiate for the masses”. It is a “crutch” that people who are easily duped or too mentally weak to survive in the “real” world have created to feel better about themselves.

People of faith, particularly Christians, have a victim mentality of sorts, they tell me. We need to feel bad about ourselves, and acknowledging that makes us feel better about our own lives. All our talk about “humbling” ourselves before God and falling to our knees is, in reality, the worst kind of arrogance. By doing these things, we are declaring we are better than others, more pious, more religious, more “worthy”.

I’ve heard all of these arguments, each articulated from a position of supposed knowledge and “rationality” by those who think they are so clever.

I believe the One True God said it best: Read the rest of this entry »

With all the recent happenings in the United States surrounding “gay rights” and “gay marriage”, I wanted to express my own feelings on this issue. I have some very strong feelings about this one, as I’m sure a lot of folks do. Let me state my position unequivocally so that everyone understands where I am coming from.

1. Homosexuality is not a birthright, it is a choice
2. Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God
3. Homosexuality is unnatural and defies the core essentials of nature as man understands it
4. Homosexuality is a defilement of marriage, as God has defined it

Ok, now that my position is clear, let me go through each of my above points more thoroughly. Read the rest of this entry »

With the recent passing of what seems to be so many celebrities, it should give one pause. Death comes to everyone. Money, power, influence, fame, accolades, love, good works, secret lives, adoring fans – nothing can save you from your fate. In the end, it will be just you and Your Creator.

As the old saying goes, “Surveys show that 10 out of 10 people die”. We are all going to die. Tonight, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, and many others have discovered that fact.

And each one of them is one of two places – they are either in the loving embrace of Eternal God or they are not . . . and never will be. Read the rest of this entry »
