Becoming a Christian takes only a single step; being a Christian means walking with Christ the rest of your life.
Jesus Christ is God in human flesh, and the story of His life, death, and resurrection is the only Good News the world will ever hear.
One of the bonuses of being a Christian is the glorious hope that extends out beyond the grave into the glory of God’s tomorrow.
From compromise to deceit is a small step.
The only sin God cannot forgive is the sin of rejecting Christ. Turn to Him in repentance and faith – and He will forgive.
Hundreds of philosophies and scores of religions have been invented to circumvent the Word of God. Modern philosophers and psychologists are still trying to make it appear that there is some way out other than the path of Jesus.
Faith in Christ is voluntary. A person cannot be coerced, bribed, or tricked into trusting Jesus. God will not force His way into your life. The Holy Spirit will do everything possible to disturb you, draw you, love you – but finally it is your personal decision.
We need to fortify ourselves with the Word of God.
The fact that God is infinite makes the study of His Word a lifetime occupation.
Jesus tells us not to be misled by the voices of strangers. There are so many strange voices being heard in the religious world of our day. We must compare what they say with the Word of God.
Whoever first said it was right: old age is not for sissies.
While those around you are filling their minds with the bad news about man in their daily papers, steep yourself in the good news about God in His precious Word!
I have had the privilege of preaching the Gospel on every continent in most of the countries of the world, and I have found that when I present the simple message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with authority, quoting from the very Word of God – He takes that message and drives it supernaturally into the human heart.
The world is heading for another major crisis that is being called, even by the secular world, “Armageddon.
When I preach – no matter where it is in the world – I can always count on five areas of human need that afflict all peoples. Emptiness, loneliness, guilt, fear of death, deep-seated insecurity.
Exercise and proper eating habits are very important, since the Bible says that the body is God’s holy temple, but I don’t think that superbodies equate with committed Christian discipleship. Some of the greatest saints I’ve known have been those with physical infirmities.
Long after you and I are gone, God will still be at work – and many of the things we prayed for will finally come to pass.
Prayer is not just asking. It is listening for God’s orders.
Nothing will drive us to our knees quicker than trouble.
Do you want to know what God’s will is for you? It is for you to become more and more like Christ. This is spiritual maturity, and if you make this your goal, it will change your life.
