If you follow Jesus leading men to Christ will become second nature.

"Fishers of men" is what Jesus told brothers Peter and Andrew He would make of them if they would follow Him. ("Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19 (NKJV) God has a life purpose for everyone yet one purpose all believers have in common is that we are to be fishers of men. Jesus makes this abundantly clear in the Great Commission. To be fishers is not a suggestion but a commandment. If you follow Jesus leading men to Christ will become second nature.

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro...

So, You Want to "Get Ahead in Life" ?

My Dad would often explain to me the need for an education so that I would be able to “get ahead” in life. For many of us “getting ahead” means acquiring money, possession and property. I have two questions for you is: When is it enough? And when you have enough, what then? God’s word says: “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Tim 6:6 (KJV) Imagine this conversation if you would: You: What happens to what all I’ve gotten and all I have when I die? God’s Word: “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” 1 Tim 6:7 (KJV) You: So what’s the solution? God’s Word: “And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” 1 Tim 6:8 (KJV) You: Just how am I supposed to do that? Jesus: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto y...

Ever wonder how God views our offenses inflicted on others?

Ever wonder how God views our offenses inflicted on others? You and I may consider and classify offenses as Grave, Serious, Major, Mild, Minor and Insignificant but how does God view them. We classify them as such even if we’re the offended party but we’ve all seen a “Minor” offense have “Grave” consequences depending on a variety of details. “Minor” offences are like minor scratches and thorn pricks, they can be infected and cause great illness and even loss of life or limb. Spiritual “wound care” is of vital importance. Jesus teaches that we’re to avoid all offenses and when we are offended we should bring it to the offender’s attention and seek resolution. If we offend it is then incumbent that we seek forgiveness. Offending/Hurting one another; it’s serious business. In God’s eyes it is a sin and one that will not go unnoticed nor unpunished is not dealt with properly. 1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but...
