Man Cannot Destroy the Earth

12/28/2008

 
The earth won't be destroyed by the Americans and Russians firing nuclear bombs at each other. Nor will it be destroyed by man polluting the ozone to the point that all life suffocates.

Earth will be destroyed only by God who is the creator (Genesis 1:1). That will occur on the day the world comes to an end known as Judgment Day, and on that great day the Lord will destroy the earth with fire (2 Peter 3:9-13; 1 John 2:17; Mark 13:31).

Judgment day is the day all men will stand before God and answer for the deeds of their life (Matthew 25:31-46; Acts 17:30-31; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7; John 12:48; Ecclesiastes 12:14).

The reason man cannot destroy the earth is because God said he would be the one who does it, and the Lord doesn't lie (Hebrews 6:18). Another reason man cannot destroy the world is because God has structured the earth so that it cannot be undone by man (Jeremiah 32:27; Luke 1:37; Heb. 1:10-12; Psalm 104:5.

Can't Battle Life's Problems without Christ

12/21/2008

 
Many are having a hard time battling all the different problems like poverty, lack of schooling, sickness, loneliness, drugs, crime, etc. It is impossible for man to beat these things without the help of Jesus Christ. He is the strength of all men, and he has shown his great love and concern for us by wanting to carry our load (Philippians 4:13). However, he will only do this if a man is willing to receive him (Matthew 11:28-30; 1 Peter 5:7; Revelation 3:20).

For those who don't believe in heaven or hell, they are in big trouble. These people are on a road to destruction which they can only change by excepting Christ (Matt. 7:13-14, 25:46). But many have no interest in God—they frown at and curse those who teach the gospel. They also are in big trouble because they are in their sins and only by contacting Jesus´ blood can one be saved (John 8:21; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Pet. 1:19; 1 John 1:6-10). We surely hope you will study this material and become a Christian because time is running out.
​

Let us hear your questions and comments, and we hope we can see you at the services this Sunday.

Christ Has One Church

12/14/2008

 
​Christ has one church which he built centuries ago, and it is the one he will save on the last day (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 5:23, 1:20-23, 4.3-6). In the Bible we can read of the church that Christ built being active long before these modern churches of today, proving that they started too late to be the right church (Acts 5:11-14, 11:22, 13:1, 16.5).

Not only that, but today's churches began in the wrong place because the true church was founded by Christ, built on Christ in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Matt 16:18; 1 Corinthians 3:11; Luke 24:47; Acts 2:1, 47). Take notice of the origins of these churches, also many more could be mention but these will prove the point:
  • Jehovah's Witnesses, USA 1800s.
  • Baptists, Europe 1600s.
  • Catholic, Rome 606 AD.
  • Lutheran, Europe 1500s.
  • Episcopalian, Europe 1500s.
  • Presbyterian, Europe 1500s.
  • Methodist, Europe 1700s.
  • Mormon, USA 1800s.
  • Adventist, USA 1800's.
  • Christian Scientist, USA 1800s.

Research the origin of your church, remember to be the true church it must meet with the ID marks of the true church. This is very serious, for all man made churches will be rooted up, and you don't want to be in one of them (Matt. 15:13-14).

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