25.01.2022 "His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." (Romans 1) Creation declares the Glory of God!
22.01.2022 The Parable of the Fishless Fishermen Fellowship. They were surrounded by streams and lakes full of hungry fish. They met regularly to discuss the call to fish, the abundance of fish, and the thrill of catching fish. They got excited about fishing! Someone suggested that they needed a philosophy of fishing, so they carefully defined and redefined fishing, and the purpose of fishing. They developed fishing strategies and tactics. Then they realized that they had been going at... it backwards. They had approached fishing from the point of view of the fisherman, and not from the point of view of the fish. How do fish view the world? How does the fisherman appear to the fish? What do fish eat, and when? These are all good things to know. So hey began research studies, and attended conferences on fishing. Some traveled to faraway places to study different kinds of fish with different habits. Some got doctorates in fishology. But no one had yet gone fishing. So a committee was formed to send out fishermen. As prospective fishing places outnumbered fishermen, the committee needed to determine priorities. A priority list of fishing places was posted on bulletin boards in all of the fellowship halls. But still, no one was fishing. A survey was launched to find out why. Most did not answer the survey, but from those who did, it was discovered that some felt called to study fish, a few to furnish fishing equipment, and several to go around encouraging the fishermen. What with meetings, conferences, and seminars, they just simply didn’t have time to fish. Now, Jake was a newcomer to the Fisherman’s Fellowship. After one stirring meeting of the Fellowship, he went fishing and caught a large fish. At the next meeting, he told his story and was honored for his catch. He was told that he had a special "gift of fishing." He was then scheduled to speak at all the Fellowship chapters and tell how he did it. With all the speaking invitations and his election to the board of directors of the Fisherman’s Fellowship, Jake no longer had time to go fishing. But soon he began to feel restless and empty. He longed to feel the tug on the line once again. So he cut the speaking, he resigned from the board, and he said to a friend, "Let’s go fishing." They did, just the two of them, and they caught fish. The members of the Fisherman’s Fellowship were many, the fish were plentiful, but the fishers were few!
21.01.2022 The power of the gospel!
19.01.2022 One of the biggest doctrines the cults attack is the Deity of Christ. Jesus said; "if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins" (John 8:24). Make no mistake, this is a salvation issue. Watch to find out what Isaiah, David, Matthew, Paul, John, the religious leaders, and even Jesus himself had to say about this subject.
17.01.2022 I believe many Christians have an identity complex. As Christians we are citizens of Heaven, and we are ambassadors of Christ; we are his personal representatives on the earth, empowered by his Spirit. One of the 10 commandments is 'don't take the name of the Lord in vain', or in other words, don't take your ambassadorship lightly! As an ambassador for Christ, did you know that you have a political mission? ... 1. Hand out citizenship invitations to all who will receive them, and make clear the entry requirements (repentance and faith) for Gods kingdom. This is evangelism. 2. Train people to obey everything the King (Jesus) has commanded of us (Matthew 28:20). This is discipleship. 3. Wrestle, wage war with, fight against principalities, powers, rulers, authorities, spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places that come against you as you fulfill missions 1. and 2. (Ephesians 6:12). This is spiritual warfare. Pretending they don't exists is a recipe for disaster. We are in a spiritual war. Put on your armor, and make sure you've communicated with your commander to get your battle instructions for the day. Is the gospel often on your mind? Paul, even from prison couldn't stop thinking about the gospel. Let's be of that same mind. We're in the world, but we're not of the world! God Bless!
16.01.2022 One of the biggest objections people have to God is the existence of evil. But did you know that evil, rather than disproving Gods existence, actually necessarily requires it? 1. If good and evil really exist, then an objective moral law must also exist to distinguish between good and evil. 2. If an objective moral law exists - then a moral law giver must also exist.... Moral laws are meaningless without a mind to define or apply them. Evil establishes Gods existence. Inside all of us, we have a conscience. This was given to us by God. We all know God exists deep down, and he has revealed himself to us through Jesus Christ. Over 300 prophecies perfectly fulfilled in Christ establish Jesus authenticity, and reliability beyond all reasonable doubt. His bodily resurrection confirms his claim to deity even further. All who repent of their sins, and believe in Jesus Christ are promised forgiveness, and salvation! God loved us even when we were dead in sin. He is calling us out of darkness and into light. He resists the proud, and exalts the humble.
13.01.2022 Moving Past Unbelief!
11.01.2022 One of the most neglected topics within the church is the topic of divorce and remarriage. Divorce has come to be such a common occurrence in our culture, but what did Jesus have to say about it?
10.01.2022 A new Jehovah's Witnesses YouTube series is COMING SOON. Based on the new booklet. "In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect". (1 Peter 3:15)
10.01.2022 God created us to love him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength - and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves! In doing this we fill full all Gods law! Purpose and value are not subjectively attributed (as the atheist believes), they are divinely decreed! God assigned our value, and he made payment for us with his own life-blood. We are not our own, we were bought for a price! An expensive price at that! Gods own previous blood. Did you know your purpose was defined ...before the foundations of the earth were laid? The atheist has this picture that we were cosmic chemical purposeless products of chaos and chance. That's one of the enemy's many deceptions. We get the opportunity and privilege to fulfill that purpose being led by Gods Spirit. He made a way to save us. A battle rages, and we have an enemy who seeks to prevent us from fulfilling that purpose, and even to keep us from entering into Gods kingdom, and if we're in Gods kingdom, a battle rages to win over our allegiance, and cause us to leave that kingdom! I know... some say we can't lose our salvation (perseverance of the saints)... but over 50 warnings in the New Testament should give us reason to be on guard. "Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position." (2 Peter 3) Finally: "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people." (Ephesians 6) God Bless you today!
08.01.2022 Is Jesus God? What did Isaiah, David, John, Thomas, Paul, and Jesus himself believe? Watch to find out!
08.01.2022 Jesus is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification f...or sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. King David prophetically wrote of Jesus; Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions." and "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end." Hebrews 1 The ultimate statistic is that 10 of 10 people die. This universe is finite. It is going to come to an end. After death is the judgement. Jesus made a way for the purification of our sins. He can wash them away, but thankfully not at the expense of his just character. He offers mercy through justice. This is why forgiveness, grace and mercy is received through faith in the person of and work Jesus. He died so that we can live. He now lives (having been raised from the dead), so that we to, at the resurrection, being in him can live. Our old nature can be put to death, and God can give us a new one. This is the GOOD NEWS! All who believe will be saved. Not a blind faith, but a sincere one founded in historical evidence - not just for Christs resurrection from the dead, but his stamp of eternal authenticity demonstrated to us through the fulfillment of prophecy 2000 years ago in Jesus first coming. The time is also fast approaching when Jesus will return to clean up this world. Those prophecies are unfolding before our eyes. Jesus offers reconciliation with God, forgiveness of sins, salvation from Gods prison (Hell), salvation from sin and its consequences in the present, and from the presence of sin and its consequences in the future. He offers refreshment renewal, cleansing and restoration. It costs us our autonomy, but it cost him everything. His love has been demonstrated, and his gift is on the table. As Christians we are called to shout this news from the rooftops, to devote our lives to seeking and saving the lost, disciple the found, worshiping and serving the God who gave us life. Those who don't yet know God are commanded by God to repent, and believe in his Son Jesus Christ. Those who believe will be saved. Those that do not believe stand condemned. Those that reject God consider the temporary fleeting pleasures of sin more valuable than God, and like Esau, are exchanging their birth right for a bowl of soup. As deceiving as Satan is, the good news of Jesus Christ is greater - it is the power of God to save all who believe. I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL :) IT IS GODS POWER TO SAVE! Share the good news with someone TODAY!
08.01.2022 Chapters 3 & 4 from the book 'Jehovah's Witnesses : God's Love Breaches Boundaries'. Nelson Barbour and Charles Taze Russell falsely prophesied about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. What does the bible say about false prophets? You can get a copy of the book here: http://glorifygod.com.au//jehovahs-witnesses-gods-love-br/
07.01.2022 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door-frames of your houses and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6)
06.01.2022 Well it's December now, and before long it will be Christmas - so I felt to share this article about the Origins of Christmas. It’s interesting to realize that December 25th (Christmas day) in the Roman Empire and prior was the day people celebrated the birthdays for these idols / demons / pagan gods: Apollo, Attis, Bacchus, Dionysus, Helios, Hercules, Horus, Jupiter, Mithras, Perseus, Sol Invictus and Tammuz. If you investigate the ancient religions you find that almost ...all of them have origins with Nimrod. The bible doesn’t say much about him but mentions him (Genesis 10:8, 1 Chronicles 1:10, Micah 5:2). Nimrod’s birthday was also celebrated on December 25th by many. According to the ancient Babylonians, Semiramis (who was believed to be both Nimrods mother and wife also known as Astarte, Asherah, Ashtoreth, Isis, Ishtar and Easter) made the claim that after Nimrod died, an evergreen tree sprang up overnight from a dead tree stump. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod visited the evergreen tree and left gifts each year on the anniversary of his birth (December 25th). These beliefs were in circulation well before Jesus entered the scene of human history. Check out the link below for more information about where the Christmas tradition came from.
