    Thoughts whilst shooting pool

    Sometimes, I just really want to shoot pool. No worries about score, or rules, or even aiming...just throw some balls on the table, grab a cue, and start hitting them around. Sometimes, they make it in a pocket. I just find the sound of pool balls hitting each other very satisfying, and...

    How to have hope in heaven?

    I have noted that many people acknowledge death and not eternal life. Sometimes I wake up from the middle of a nap and the first thing that washes over me is a fear of death. I imagine it being a never ending state where I am not awake but instead trapped and unable to move and think as I am...

    The Sin Cycle

    1 John 5:1-3 ESV “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep...

    Not pre-destined for Hell.

    The question of the 'predestined elect", is always, generally, a totally confused original concept, because most of the people who preach or teach this idea, are about as confused as theologically confused could possibly be, .... and most of these hardened heretics are the most devout (self...

    - If You are here reading me, its because you are in bondage within the typical cycle of "sinning and repenting" that most Christian live within, as their life also.

    In an Instant = Forever

    - The day we are saved........the very day before, what were we doing? Were you living for God the day before you were saved? NO. You were enjoying SIN. What does this tell us? It tells us that on Saturday we are sinning and enjoying it, and on our way to HELL. John 3:36 Then the very next...

    No sin found in the Blood Atonement

    - All the born again are become "the righteousness of God in Christ". Is there sin "in Christ? Are the born again "in Christ"? So, that is the reality....The reality is, Colossians 2:13 God has forgiven you ALL your sin. Jesus didn't die for only a part of it. This means if its ALL forgiven...

    Let Grace be your home

    - The blood of Jesus keeps paying for sin.......Its an eternal Blood Atonement. It paid for thousands of people's sin today, (newly born again) just like it paid for the "sin of the World", 2000+ yrs ago. John 3:16 Eternal life, that is "in Christ" is not temporary. So, Jesus who Himself IS...

    More Good News from the Cross

    - Let me tell you something interesting. If you are born again, then your sin, all of it, was paid for by "the FINISHED WORK of Jesus on the Cross". Romans 4:8= then confirms that any "sin" you would engage in, (work of the flesh) after you are saved, ... God does not charge you with...
