“Heaven is God s dwelling place, a special place prepared for all the saints, for people without blemish or stain, a place you can only access by giving accounts of your sojourn here on earth.”
“Flawed, imperfect, fallen. If these things describe me accurately—it should be evident to my friends that they do—then it should be obvious that I need to change. If I insist on remaining just as I am; if I demand acceptance without judgment—or worse, if I also demand that my friends validate my present state and declare it good, then I am asking them to aid and abet my damnation. Just as flowing water is stopped by a dam, I will be condemned to my present state. But that is not what I want. I deeply desire to correct my flaws, put right my imperfections, and overcome my fallenness. I cannot make these changes on my own. Without forthright friends who help me see myself accurately, I am lost. My best friends, therefore, are the ones who see me clearly and love me enough to tell me that I can become better. My best friends are the ones who point me to Christ, He who is mighty to save and Best Friend to all who will have Him.”
“Political elections give us the illusion of choice. Whether many parties compete or two predominate parties compete, the choice they offer is a false choice. Each party typically portrays itself as the solution, urgently warns that the opposing party (or parties) will bring catastrophe, and makes promises it knows it cannot keep. In just one thing are all parties united: the illusion that politicians have the answer to life’s difficulties. In that assertion is the problem. It is a false assertion that the government—whichever party is in power—will save us. Elections are choices between two (or several) false narratives. So long as we look to politicians and governments for our salvation, we will be disappointed. There is but one Savior: Jesus Christ. He is mighty to save if we will have Him. He will not deceive us and He will not force us to accept Him. He offers truth, deliverance, protection, and peace. We must vote in every election: that is the pragmatic and prudent thing to do so long as we live in this fallen and imperfect world. Because that is the case, we see elections for what they are: moments in time when false narrative shift, and therefore occasions to realign ourselves with the Great Governor, Jesus Christ, who alone can save us.”
“There is but one peacemaker: the Prince of Peace. He is a revolutionary: His teachings run counter to the prevailing assertion that the “other” must change. He quietly asks me to see myself as I am: messy, fallen, sinful. He gently invites me to change. Then He enables me to become, in Him, what I cannot become in and of myself. As He changes me, I experience His peace. As he changes me, I begin to understand that the “other” is my brother. As He changes me, I desire to love and serve my brother. These changes He enables in me transform me from trouble-maker to peace-maker. It is through the Prince of Peace – and through Him only – that I experience peace and become a peaceful man.”
“With the arrival of Advent, Christians everywhere turn again towards the Savior. Advent marks the beginning of the celebration of His birth and His long-foretold ministry, atonement, death, resurrection and second coming. If Advent is an occasion when I re-turn my eyes to the Savior, then it is also an invitation to consider where my eyes—and my heart—have been in the meantime. Advent is the gentle nudge that invites me to remember that the truth most worth knowing is that Jesus Christ is the only way Home. It is also a gentle reminder that I ought to keep my eyes upon Him all year long.”
“With it’s transition from darkness into increasing light, Advent symbolically shows me my journey from the weaknesses I acquire because I live in a fallen world, to the enabling grace offered to me in Christ’s life, ministry, atonement, crucifixion, and resurrection. His ministry to me is individual, tailored to my specific needs. He saves me by changing me, transforming me, and making me into something I am not now. He can convert me—if I will let Him—into a fit traveler, able to walk the covenant path that leads through the temple and back to my Heavenly Father. Jesus willingly walks with me, inviting me to take on His yoke (which is easy) and to exchange my burden for His (which is light). Advent reminds me to invite the Light of the World to illuminate my life. O come, o come, Emanuel!”
“When it comes to the world-changing theology of the resurrection of Jesus, we’re not just talking about a new religion, a new philosophy, or a three-step plan to make sure you get into heaven after you die. We are talking about a new way to be human, a way that lives and breathes like King Jesus.”
“The Son of Man is the Messiah.”
“Jesus Christ Our Lord who died for us so that we may live,He Resurrected that we may have life eternal.Can we ever be unfaithful to that sacrifice and fail to declare Him alone as our Lord? Something to ponder upon!”
“The Cross of Jesus is the revelation of God’s judgment on sin and to avoid that same judgment we have a responsibility to not make a practice of sin.”
“GOD S ACT OF LOVE IS THE PUREST AND THE DEEPEST; HE COMPLETELY OFFERED HIS BLOOD TO SOAK OUR SIN, AMEN”
“I can go to heaven because of our Lord Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, which has freed our fathers from the hell and has opened the gates of heaven to us all. It was impossible before because of the sin of our father Adam who disobedient God and ate from the tree of knowledge.”
“Be the first to do the impossible because then it will be possible for others. In case you fail, it is fine because you have earned the honor of trying, plus you are aware of your next step whether you will try it again and learn from previous mistakes or you decide to choose a different path and remember that nothing is impossible with our creator God our Lord Jesus Christ. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).”
“True, but still, I d love a peek beyond the veil, as they say.”
“I believe in our Lord Jesus Christ Christ is everywhere and he never left us Us must see Christ in everything we do in life Life without Christ is complete death Death occurs ones as well as life Life must be your ultimate and only choice Choice of the upcoming life in Heaven not the one on earth Earth and its belongings belong to God God Exist”
“When our eyes stray from Jesus we become problem oriented instead of purpose oriented.”
“Church is a community of believers who believe in Jesus Christ.”
