Whom The Son Sets Free

I’m sure most believers recognize “whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” The actual Bible verse is John 8:36 and it states: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Most Christians know this verse or some version that’s very close to the actual Bible verse. But do we really believe it? Do we really believe whom the Son sets free is free indeed? Or do we just say it because it sounds nice, because it’s in the Bible?

To give the Bible verse more context, please listen to John 8:28-36 where Jesus is speaking: Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

As he spake these words, many believed on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? [Read more…]

Who Is Lord Of Your Life?

Bob Dylan had a song years ago called “Gotta Serve Somebody” and it starts off like this:

“You may be an ambassador to England or France
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you’re gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You’re gonna have to serve somebody
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you’re gonna have to serve somebody…” [Read more…]

Only Two Conversations

Ministry Update September 1, 2019

Conner and I had only two conversations while witnessing downtown Friday night, but they basically lasted the whole time we were there. We started off handing out New Testaments and Gospel tracts. Right off the bat I tried to hand New Testaments to Ryan and Renee. He laughed and told me that he had a ton of these at home. So I said, “Do you read them?” He replied that he did and then he asked where we go to church. I told him I go to Crossway Baptist Church and Conner goes to Hope Baptist Church. Then Ryan told me that he “home” churches and that they are Mormons. [Read more…]

Does God Still Save?

America is now being described as a post-Christian society. Being a Christian and holding to a biblical worldview is not popular. In fact, it’s counter-cultural. Christians are now considered haters and bigots. In fact, in many states, Christians are losing their jobs and some have even gone to jail for standing for their faith. So as America becomes more godless, it begs the question: Does God still save?  [Read more…]

Can A Prophet Lie?

Can a prophet lie? In today’s world of tolerance, can a prophet lie and we just forgive that prophet because we all make mistakes? Do we forgive and forget? I’m asking these questions because I’ve had many unbelievers tell me that they think Jesus was just a good person who said some good things to live by, but they don’t believe in the supernatural things that He did. If this is your belief tonight, then you are calling Jesus a liar. So I ask again, can a prophet lie?  [Read more…]

Christ Is A Great Savior

John Newton, the man who wrote the wonderful hymn Amazing Grace, also stated: Although my memory’s fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior. I agree wholeheartedly with this statement. I am a great sinner that has been saved by the grace of God and my salvation is found in Jesus alone. Christ is a great Savior and He is my Lord and Savior.  [Read more…]

Do All Roads Lead To God?

Ministry Update August 5, 2018

As Pastor Joshua was finishing up the first message of the night, three Muslims came up and started talking to us. The young man that did most of the talking said at one point that all roads lead to God. We politely tried to tell him that all roads do not lead to God. Jesus said that He is the way, truth and life and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Jesus is very exclusive and He is the only Savior.  [Read more…]

Who’s Your Daddy?

Who’s your daddy? This is a serious question. Who’s your father? I’m not talking about your earthly dad. Is your Father the Father God in Heaven or the little g god of this world – the devil? You see, it’s one or the other, but it cannot be both. Satan is the great deceiver. He deceives you into thinking that you are a god (a little g god).  [Read more…]
