If We Sin, is Salvation Possible?Answer: YesIn your dying moments, if you believe that your sin can cost you your salvation, I would ask you two question; "Does anyone love Jesus perfectly? Does anyone love Him as much as they ought to? If the answer to the first question is no, then the answer to the second question has to be no, because we’re supposed to love Him perfectly, but we don’t, and we all sin. If we all are sinners, and we do not love Jesus perfectly, then how can anyone's salvat …

     Often, I see people dogmatically argue insignificant "religious" issues, and sadly I have done it as well. Philippians 2:3-4 says, “Do nothing from rivalry or conceit but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others.” If every believer lived by that rule, arguing would virtually disappear.      The term Christian has been badly misused in recent years. Anyone …

Ephesians 2:8-9“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8–9). The statement has three parts— salvation, grace, and faith—and they are equally important. The three together constitute a basic tenet of Christianity.SalvationThe word salvation is defined as “the act of being delivered, redeemed, or rescued.” The Bible tells us that, since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of E …

False Statement The other day I posted a comment on a page and got attacked by some people. One lady who tried to calm the situation commented, "Remember... we are all Gods children." One of my worst fears is that I will mislead someone so I pray that everyone does their due diligence before taking everything I say as fact. However when I hear something that I believe will mislead other I feel compelled to correct it. Please understand that I am in no way a bible scholar but the Bible is cl …

Hard TruthI must admit I have said this before "I've promised God hundreds of times that I'll do better, but then I goof up and go back to my old ways. God must have given up on me long ago. I would have, if I'd been in His place."One of the hardest truths for us to grasp about God is that He isn’t exactly like we are. If I were in God’s place, my patience would have run out long ago. But thank God I am not in God’s place! The Bible says, “But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slo …

Good FridayThis week we're preparing ourselves for the remembrance of Good Friday and the Celebration of Easter Sunday. With this in mind, we will turn our attention to a very important part of the story of Jesus, His sacrificial death on the Cross.PassoverJesus' death was the fulfillment of the Old Testament event called the Passover. As God was getting ready to release His people from Egyptian slavery, He executed a final plague against the Egyptians. It was the death of the firstborns. In Exo …

SinThe Bible says that all humans have sinned (Romans 3:23). Each of us is deserving of eternal separation from God (Romans 6:23). No matter the sin, murder, terrorism, adultery, theft, pride, gossip, jealousy, lying, etc... we deserve to be punished. It's an all-or-nothing scenario. God does not judge us on whether our "good" outweighs our "bad," but on whether we will accept His way of salvation.Love"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not …

EasterThe Easter story is from the Bible and tells of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God! It is a story that can change our lives, because it is the story of God's powerful love for each of us and the sacrifice He gave! We celebrate Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday, but there would be no resurrection without His suffering death on a cross and buried in a borrowed tomb! 
The Passover Supper & Jesus Washes FeetBefore the Passover celebration, Jesus knew that …

Unconditional LoveUnconditional love is so very hard for humans. We can learn so much about unconditional love from dogs. They do not care what you look like, if you loose your job, if you fail a test, or if you gain 100 pounds. Dogs love unconditionally. They want what is best for you. Dogs live to please you. They want to spend time with you. Dogs do not keep score of hurt, broken promises, or missed birthdays/anniversaries/holidays. They simply want to be in your presence, to love you, t …
