    Can I still go to heaven or not?

    I grew up in the Christian Church and knew about the power of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. There was a time in my life at age 14 after hearing about the unforgivable sin, I believed the lie of the pharisees when they said that Jesus has a demonic spirit and I feel like it's too late...

    The Biblical Definition of Repentance

    Happy Tuesday brothers and sister in Christ! I'm just sharing a message with you on the biblical meaning of repentance. You might be surprised that it isn't what immediately comes to mind when we consider the modern-day meaning. Give it a listen if you like. It's freely given, no ads...

    Why the West is failing is because it's repeating ancient Israel's mistakes.

    Some posts on these message boards seem to portray USA as God's chosen nation! They seem to think USA must always succeed over China and Russia, as if they believe God would never favour countries. But if we turn away from God, as ancient Israel did, who were God's chosen people, then we shall...

    What If Jesus Comes Today? Where Would Be?

    As we proudly call ourselves Christians —we must be conscious at all times when making any movement in life. I'm talking about the consciousness concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ. Whatever you are doing —ask yourself "does this please God?" If the answer is"No" then quickly refrain...

    God's Feeling of Love For the Lost--Heaven Throws a Party for the Repentant!

    Reading the bolded passages gives a great insight into God's feeling of love for anyone who is experiencing separation from Him (because they have chosen to go away from Him and sin rather than walk in His ways) and what they can expect when they turn away from their sins back to Him and His...

    Why, if God is sovereign, is there a global pandemic?

    Has the Almighty become less than before? Is He losing His grip on things? Or is there another reason why things are the way they are? Is this judgement on us, His people? Are we, as a whole, walking towards a cliff, and is He, in His faithfulness, allowing pain to drive us back to Him? Are...

    Help Wanted - Luke 15:7

    This passage is a tough one, for me, to understand. Luke 15:7 KJV - "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." It seems to me that all need repentance. It seems to me that we were...

    Disciple Of Christ

    It was February 2000. After I had drug amnesia I realized that I'd relapsed by abusing my meds. I also made the most serious attempt to end my life which left me with a brain injury. After 3 weeks of horrible withdrawal from my meds, I went to a Christian retreat. The seminar was called, "5 Days...

    How to Break Free From Sin and Be Cleansed?

    By Chengxin Dear Lingyun: Hello! In your letter you asked: “We are familiar with the Bible and work hard to practice the Lord’s word, but why are we still unable to break away from the bondage of sin?” I want to share a bit of my understanding of this issue. We all know that, at the end of...

    Repentance is forsaking sin, not just changing your mind.

    Some, if not many, Christians try to assert that turning from sin is not a requirement for salvation; they teach that repentance is merely changing your mind, but that's not what Holy Ghost filled John the Baptist taught. Matthew 3 [1] In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the...

    Abiding In The Light

    In our opening passage, John focused on the characteristic of Christ as the Living Word, God revealed to humanity in human form. Christ came to earth as the embodiment of the eternal God. Now he focuses on Christ as the Light of the world. Each of these characteristics reveals the true nature...

    Dust

    Genesis 2:7 “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” The dust of the garden that God formed man of, had not been cursed yet. The earth did not groan to be delivered yet. God created he him; male...

    How fast are you going?

    How fast are you going? In the epistle to the Hebrews (12:1), the author introduces us to the RACE. He tells us to RUN hard so as to win the prize. He also entreats us to lay aside the weight of sin that ensnares and would slow us down, like running with a ball and chain around our ankles...

    MY BRIEF TESTIMONY!

    MY BRIEF TESTIMONY! I came OUT of the organized church since I saw much hypocrisy and worldliness, and saw my life was a pitiful example of what a true follower of Christ should be. I prayed constantly to God as I wallowed in sin, and worldliness, and I mean fornication, drunkenness, porn...
