Read MoreHope Leads to Patience
What is it that drives you to continue fighting? Whether it be at work, school or even the playground, something inside of you keeps you going. The more you think about the reward, the more you are willing to endure, and to keep going. The more patience you have. Brethren, we know that the whole…
Read MoreServing God VS Serving the Flesh
According to logic and the Holy Scriptures, it is impossible to serve two masters. You “will be loyal to the one and despise the other.” (Matthew 6.24) We talk about multitasking and threading the needle, or walking a fine line, but when push comes to shove, we have only one loyalty. I once led a…

The question every Christian asks is, “Will I be saved?” We live our entire life defending our answer. We all think ‘we’ are going to be with God in heaven, but Christ says, “Not everyone who says to me ‘Lord, Lord’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” There is no guarantee. The defense make for…

Read MoreDon’t Let Christmas Carols Teach You about God
If you see me driving around town, you are bound to hear Christmas carols coming from my car. I LOVE Christmas carols and listen to them every chance I get this time of year. OK, I’ll be honest with you. I even listen to them at other times of year. There is something about the…
Read MoreEpisode 463 – Salvation starts with Giving
The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazaros teaches us that our salvation will be determined by our generosity with the gifts and blessings we have received from God. If we wish to avoid the torment of hell, we must change our hearts to be generous to the Church for the work of the God.…
Read MoreEpisode 460 – Do You Desire to be with God
Christ invites us, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow,” Him into heaven. As long we desire to be with God, then we can move the first phase of our journey. We must learn how to deny ourselves before we can ever follow Christ into heaven.…
