Even those that claim [...]
God’s Timing is Perfect In All Things
April 27, 2009
Some days you get reminded that God’s timing is perfect. Not that it isn’t always perfect but that we as selfish, sinful creatures forget that God holds everything in His Hands. There is not one thing that occurs without the Lord being in total supervision.
Last night I got an comment from a relative that was [...]

Ten Reasons Why Nursing Homes Are Great Places to Minister – Steve Burchett
December 22, 2008
While recently reflecting upon Jesus’ compassion toward those who were “distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd” (Matt. 9:36), I determined to find similarly downcast people in my neighborhood so that I might serve them and tell them about Christ. I now find myself regularly in a nursing home, and the ministry opportunities abound.

by Jim Elliff
A well-known Christian philosopher, Francis Schaeffer, was asked this question: If you had only one hour on a train to tell someone about Christ, what would you do? He answered: I would spend forty-five minutes showing him the problem, and fifteen minutes showing him the solution.
Do you have a problem? Perhaps it is [...]
Candy Coated, Romantic Gospel Appeals
September 4, 2008
“If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord’s will but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumption, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved. Do not suppose that the Gospel is magnified or God glorified by going [...]
I Asked Jesus Into My Heart …
September 3, 2008
Are you saved and going to Heaven because you “asked Jesus into your heart“?
How many times have you heard someone say the following sentence? Or, maybe even you have said? “I asked Jesus into my heart.” They may add that they did this as a child, maybe even during VBS (Vacation Bible School). They walked [...]

“I only am escaped alone to tell thee.”
(Job 1:19)

Ezekiel 3:18-21
18 When I say to a wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 19 But if [...]
John MacArthur Quote

John MacArthur Quote:
“Many in the church today believe that the only way to reach the world is to give the unchurched multitudes what they want. . . Subtly the overriding goal is church attendance and worldly acceptability rather than a transformed life. Preaching the Word and boldly confronting sin are seen as archaic, ineffectual means [...]
