Knowing Is Not Enough

Springfield Missouri is in the Bible Belt. A lot of people around here have grown up in church. Most people in our area know the Gospel. They know the facts about Jesus, how he came to this earth 2,000 years ago. How Jesus is the Son of God and how He took the punishment that guilty people deserve. Yes, many people know how Jesus suffer, bled and died on the cross, was buried and rose again the third day. A lot of people know this, but knowing is not enough.

Just knowing the facts about salvation is not the same thing as salvation itself. Yes, everything I just said is true. Jesus did suffer, bleed and die on the cruel cross and He rose victoriously from the grave three days later. Jesus defeated sin, death, Hell and Satan. This is all true. But knowing these facts do not save you. Again, knowing is not enough.

Wickedness In The Bible Belt

Ministry Update April 30, 2017

Friday night Aaron, Serenity and I knew it was going to be a wild night witnessing downtown Springfield, MO. Before we even started singing hymns, a woman in the front passenger seat of a car driving by stuck her head out the window and yelled something that was sexually inappropriate. The wickedness didn’t stop there, no it continued the whole time we were downtown. I have friends all around the country that just can’t believe the wickedness in the Bible Belt, right here in Springfield, MO.  [Read more…]

The Buckle is Rusted

Springfield Missouri is in the Bible Belt and I’ve always heard that we are the buckle of the belt. I think we can even make a good argument that we are the buckle. In addition to having a church on just about every corner, we have several bible colleges and we are home to the Assemblies of God world headquarters. So maybe we are the buckle of the Bible Belt.  [Read more…]

Enough Religion to Send You Straight to Hell

Seek and Save the Lost Hell Man Burning

This is going to be a tough message tonight and many of you won’t want to hear it, but it needs to be said. It needs to be said because even though we live in the Bible belt and most of us have at least one Bible at home and even though many of us have grown up in Christian homes or have been exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sadly, many people in Springfield, maybe this includes you, have been exposed to just enough religion to send you straight to Hell.  [Read more…]

Bible Minded Springfield

A report came out a little over a month ago that said Springfield, Missouri is the fourth most Bible minded city in America. Let’s pat ourselves on the back fellow Springfieldians. That’s really something isn’t it; number four in the nation? Let’s celebrate our achievement. Wait a minute. What does Bible minded even mean? The report didn’t say Bible believing or God fearing; it said Bible minded. So does that mean most of our homes have four or five Bibles in it? Probably so. But it doesn’t matter how many Bibles you own if you never open one up. It doesn’t matter how Bible minded you are, if you never read God’s Word. [Read more…]

Bible Belt “Believer”

Leave a Comment

I live in the state of Missouri in the United States of America. I live in what is known as the “Bible Belt.” This is a section of the United States where we are known as people who believe in God and the majority of the population goes to church. A lot of us consider ourselves to be a Bible Belt believer. It actually sounds pretty good. [Read more…]
