The kingdom of heaven, sometimes referred to as the kingdom of God, is literally all around us. Not long before Jesus began His earthly ministry, the scriptures tell us that John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way for Him. John proclaimed, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."...
I encourage each of you, as I am encouraged each day by our Lord, to follow Christ in Spirit and not according to personal desires. “For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world. The world is...
The Parable of the Sower
“That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore. And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And...
Today, the Lords day (as each day should be), is the time for each of us to fully surrender ourselves as “living sacrifices” to serve the kingdom of heaven. This is exactly what Christ did for us, and He asks this of all who make the claim to know Him. “Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account...
"See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God. But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the...
"Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did." 1 John 2:6
"Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." John 3:3
With so many events taking place around the world (with greater frequency) many suppose the Lord will be coming back to rapture His Body (the Church) any day now. This is the same question the disciple’s asked Jesus while He was still here on earth. “When will these things happen, and what will...
Today, while it is still called today, is filled with opportunity and purpose. Even if you have only one hour left before you sleep there is ample time to surrender all and yield to the Heavenly Father’s will. Too often, those who truly abide in Christ find themselves consumed and distracted by...
If you are a true servant of Christ this message is for you. If you are not, I pray you will surrender your life as soon as possible as your time to do so is shorter than you think. If you are too busy to read this all the way through, come back to it when you have time. I pray you will all be...
Paul wrote, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So, what shall I choose? I do not know. I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed. But it is more necessary...
Did Jesus tell His followers to get out there and plant churches and win souls? If so, what book, chapter, and verse was that written? I can’t seem to find it. In fact, I read that there is only one Church. Furthermore, as servants of the Most High we cannot win anything on our own. If a soul is...
The scriptures clearly tell us, "There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." (Romans 3:22-24). Therefore, we know that Jesus did not die in vain, but instead He died to set...
With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, and Christmas not far behind, we should ponder the significance of these two events celebrated this time each year. As I pondered these Holiday’s I remembered family moments shared with others since my childhood and realized how differently I see things now...
Since the beginning of time the Father intended for all of His creation to exist in peace and harmony here in this world. However, the spirit of this world relentlessly works day and night to disrupt or counterfeit the peace intended by God. The adversary, Satan and all of his followers...
If you are a true follower of Jesus then you know today is your day to serve Him and His kingdom. Parents, grandparents, teachers, doctors, lawyers, pastors, elders, or whatever your daily occupation may be, do all you do today the very best you can for the Lord. “Whatever you do, work at it...
The true followers of Christ (citizens of the kingdom of heaven) are called to walk by faith and not by sight here on earth. This means we are to walk in a way that is in direct conflict to how we once walked when spiritually dead in our former lives as the unsaved do. Furthermore, we who are...
The disciples came to Jesus and asked Him, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” Jesus did not answer them by saying it is the one who reaches a high place in their church or the one who has memorized the bible. He did not say it was those who are out “winning souls for God” or...
Since the time of Jesus’ earthly ministry His followers have proven to lack spiritual understanding concerning the kingdom of heaven. This lack of understanding has produced many misconceptions, poor decisions, and false beliefs over time. Jesus clearly demonstrated His endless power over...
Are you a follower of Christ? Not just someone who talks about Him or makes an effort once and a while to do something for Him. One day while Jesus was walking with His disciples someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You go." This is the same thing that true believers in Christ have...
My wife and I cried as we watched this short video. The video (link below) illustrates how the world can see the love of Christ in action and shows how it can make a difference. This is how we preach the gospel. Not with our words (most people have heard them already), but through our actions of...
