HOPE, OR BELIEVE?

Which do we need to do when we want to receive something from God; hope, or believe?

It is written in Proverbs 13:12, Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Men often hope for this or that, but that doesn’t mean they are going to get what they hope for.  “Hope deferred”, means hope put off for another time or delayed or set aside.  When we want or need something, the last thing we want is for it to be put off or set aside. We want it, and when do we want it? NOW.  Well, the verse goes on to say that when that which was hoped for comes, it is a tree of life, in other words, it takes away the sadness.  Some people spend their lives hoping for this or that, and sometimes they get what they hope for, but more times than not, they don’t.

YOUR PARDON IS PAID FOR

Many who call themselves Christians live in opposition to what the Holy Bible says.  Now, I’m not talking about behavior here, but rather what they believe.  Of course, what you believe WILL affect your behavior, but for now let’s focus on the “believe” part. Let’s start with Isaiah 53:1-6;
Isa 53:1  Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? Continue Reading »

GOD’S AMAZING GRACE

Sometimes I get comments on our website from people who don’t want anything to do with God whatsoever.  Knowing He is a just God, you would think He would just zap them and be done with them, but that isn’t His nature at all.  I guess His idea of justice must be different than that of mankind.  In the old days and still today, if a ruler established himself over a group of people or a nation, if they despised him, the ruler would just have those people executed and they were out of his hair for good.  And yet, though many even in our nation, the USA, are trying to remove every reference to God in our society, God is still patient and merciful with them, even though He would be just in destroying them.  Why?  Because He is not willing that any should perish, but that all come to repentance.  You talk about MERCY!  Would a dictator have that attitude toward those who don’t want to serve and love him?  Absolutely NOT!  That’s why I put my trust in God, and not in people.

NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN

Some who have received Christ Jesus as LORD and Savior at some point in their life have given up on that relationship, feeling their less than perfect walk with the Lord Jesus has cost them their salvation. On the surface, after reading Hebrews chapter 10, most would believe if you sin, even once, knowingly after receiving Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you’re out of God’s Kingdom. Not, three strikes and you’re out, but ONE strike and you’re out! I agonized for years over that chapter because I haven’t led a perfect life since being saved, and chances are you haven’t either.
