There Is A Way that Seems Right to A Person

1/30/2005

 
This is only for people who believe the Bible to be God's word.

Right and wrong exists. When one believes something, he is either correct or in error—for there is no middle ground. But when it concerns religion, many deny this and try to argue that everyone is right. "Let that person have his own beliefs, don't bother him for what he believes, and let him not bother you." This statement is wrong.

False teaching does exist. Religious people do misuse scriptures. Churches and preachers do believe and teach things which they ought not. There are people on their way to hell, instead of heaven. So what is to be done concerning such? Think about what we are saying. You dear reader have beliefs, and you are either right or wrong (Proverbs 14:12; Prov. 12:15; Prov. 21:2; Jeremiah 10:23; Matthew 7:13–29; Matt. 22:29; Acts 15:1–35; Acts 18:1–6; Acts 18:24–28; 2 Peter 2:1–3; Revelation 2:1–2).

Can you open the Bible and prove your beliefs without using scriptures out of context? Can you find the name of your church in the Bible? Can you read of your religious practices in the Bible? If not, are you right or wrong? Think about it.

Christians Should Just Be Christians

1/16/2005

 
This is only for people who believe the Bible to be God's word.

Long ago, Mordecai reminded Queen Esther that her rise to power wasn't just a coincidence—her position enabled her to help her fellow Jews who were about to be slaughtered (Esther 4:14). The same applies to one who is doing well today; find someone to help (Galatians 6:10, 1 John 3:16–18).
Many mistakenly use the phrase "born-again Christian." The word "Christian" appears three times in the Bible, and there is nothing attached to it (Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, 1 Peter 4:16). There are no "holy Christians," "fundamentalist Christians," "Baptist Christians," "Catholic Christians," etc. The people of the New Testament were simply Christians—nothing more, nothing less. They patterned their lives after the doctrine of the one who they followed, and naturally if you follow Christ that includes being born again, holy, fundamental, and every other New Testament quality, for that is what a Christian is (John 14:15, 2 Timothy 2:19, 2 John 2:3–6).

Hope to hear from you or see you at the services.

Can't Run Away after the Judgment

1/9/2005

 
This is only for people who believe the Bible to be God's word.

Crying "Ouch!" "Ouch!" and jerking back an arm, foot, etc., is what people do when they get burnt by fire. Fire isn't pleasant to feel on one's skin and the heat from a fire will cause one to move away from it. With that being said, let us not forget Judgment Day could come at any moment (Matthew 24:36–51). Evil men will be judged by Jesus Christ and cast into an everlasting burning Hell (Matt. 25:1–46; Mark 9:42–48).

In life, man for the most part can get away from fire; but in hell, man will not be able to jerk his foot away or run away from the heat. Hell is described as a lake of fire, meaning it is big and deep and full of darkness, and there is no where to run or no way out (Revelation 20:10; Matt. 13:37–43). In Hell one will be tormented forever and ever, so the best thing to do is not end up there. Don't go though life unaware of the wrath to come; make plans to obey the gospel in order to escape the fires of Hell (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1–4; Hebrews 5:9; Matt. 3:7–8; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Rom. 2:5–9; 2 Thess. 1:7–9).
