It’s great to see you all and I hope you had a great time on spring break. Did any of you get to go to a really exotic place on spring break? Did any of you get to go to a really cool place? Where did you go on spring break? Did you have fun? Was spring break too short? Did some of you have to stay here and work during spring break? Are ready to get back to your normal routine? Are you ready to buckle down and have a great finish to the school year? [Read more…]
I want to talk to Christians today. This message is for Christians only. Christians: what are you going to do on spring break? Have you thought about? Are you planning on going out drinking and are hoping to hook up with someone? Will your non-Christian friends see anything in your life that separates you from them? What are you going to do on spring break? [Read more…]
How do you witness to an atheist? The same way you witness to anyone following a cult and the same way you witness to a false convert. You take the person through some of the 10 Commandments. God gave us the commandments for a reason. God is righteous and Holy and His standard is perfection. Jesus summed up the 10 Commandments this way: You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39). [Read more…]
West Virginia Chemical Spill
Since the water from the chemical spill a couple of weeks ago in West Virginia still smells bad, many of the local residents refuse to drink or use the water. In spite of the government’s insistence that the water is safe, the water has been polluted. It is nasty and unfit for human consumption. The water has been defiled. The chemical spill contaminated good drinking water and made it unusable. The water is no longer pure – it is impure. [Read more…]
Repent. Sadly, this word is not used in most of our churches in America. We have watered down the Gospel so much that it isn’t even the Gospel anymore. It’s a counterfeit. It’s a fake. Most preachers and “professing” Christians alike tell you that if you accept Jesus into your heart that your life will become wonderful, because God has a wonderful plan for your life. You just need to add Jesus to what you already have and life will be super great – you can have your best life now. Folks, this watered down false gospel is no Gospel at all (Galatians 1:6-9). But it’s easy for people to swallow down and it just as easily runs right on out of their bodies. It is worthless and all it does is coddle people all the way to Hell (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Christians love the fruit of the Spirit. I frequently (almost daily) ask God to renew His Holy Spirit in me and I ask him to fill me with the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). As Christians, we are called to be Christ-like and I can’t think of a better way to be Christ-like than to be full of the fruit of the Spirit and to exhibit the fruit to others. [Read more…]
I was talking to an atheist the other day, whom I’ve had many conversations with in the past. He said he didn’t believe in God (he’s said this many times in the past). But this time he stated again that he didn’t believe in God; but if he’s wrong, that God would consider him a good person. This atheist is very close to me, someone that I love. I genuinely believe that he thinks that he is a good person. [Read more…]
