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.

Anticipation

Anticipation

It’s hard to believe that we are in the year 2020. There’s a lot of anticipation for the new year. Some people are planning on getting into better physical shape, eating better, or maybe they have prospects of a new job. Others may be getting a driver’s license or going to college this year. Still others are planning on getting married or having babies. It’s a brand-new year and the best word I can use to describe it is anticipation. [Read more…]

Unless You Believe

Unless You Believe

What do you believe tonight? Who or what do you believe in? The majority of people nowadays believe in evolution, especially those 30 and under (73% of them believe in evolution). But evolution and secular science can’t explain where we come from, why we are here or where we are going. Atheism at its core is so anti-God that atheists believe everything came from nothing. Some atheists recognize how ludicrous this is, so they now are saying that aliens originally populated the earth.  [Read more…]

The Unsparing God

God is known as the great Creator, the one true God, all powerful, all knowing and ever-present God. He’s also called Father God. There is no god beside Him. The Bible has many names for God including Lord God Almighty, the most high God, Lord, Master, the Lord my Shepherd, the Lord that heals, the Lord is peace, the Lord of hosts and the everlasting God, just to name a few. But did you know that the Lord is the unsparing God?  [Read more…]

We Demand Justice!

I asked a 17 year old young man the other day what punishment he thought Craig Michael Wood should receive for kidnapping and doing unspeakable things to and then killing 10 year old Hailey Owens. He said that he didn’t know much about it, but that he thought the guy should spend a really long time in prison. Then he said that he actually thought that people should receive the same punishment as the crime that they commit. The perpetrator should be kidnapped, abused and then killed. So I said “you believe in an eye for an eye justice” and he said that’s what he believes. [Read more…]

Good Person Test

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…]
