Resurrection Sunday is Actually First Fruits According to Jewish Calendar NOT Easter
Because Jesus does not have to deal with anything sinful in His own life, He is free to serve us, those who follow Him. We are told in Hebrews 4:16, that we are to “…draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
As authors Klein and Spears point out, Christians today don’t have an accurate understanding of that passage. We somehow think that because the veil has been torn from the top to the bottom, we can simply run into the Holy of Holies without a care in the world. Isn’t that what the word “boldly” means? No.
Working Out Our Salvation with Fear and Trembling
Lately, I have been frustrated with the way the English translations of the Bible from the Greek often mask original meanings, making them very difficult at times to comprehend. The truth appears to be that most of what we call the New Testament was originally written in Hebrew, then translated to Greek, then translated to English. I do realize there is some disagreement there, but for me, I am becoming satisfied that it is because of this process, at least some of the teachings of Jesus and others have become unduly clouded.
Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection Denied by Islam
The main pillar of Christianity is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This is indisputable. Those who reject this truth reject Jesus, plain and simple. In spite of how they say they may “respect,” “revere,” or “follow” Him, if the fact of His sinless life, His atoning death, and His life-giving resurrection is disallowed or denied, then those people have neither respect or reverence and they are certainly not following the Jesus of the Bible. One cannot change the truth about someone and still say they follow that person.
3 Magic Words Brought to You by the New Age Movement
The movie is filled with platitudes primarily, statements designed to make you believe something about yourself, others, and the world. To find out what the three magic words are, the viewer needs to wait until the end of the movie, but you may be way ahead of me by now anyway. For those who aren’t, before I divulge that little secret, let me make some observations about the film and the concept itself.
Why Do So Many Fall for the Emptiness of Satan’s Promises?
What people do not realize is that there is a great need within the life of every individual. That need can only be filled by God. However, Satan comes along and does his best to provide substitutes and they work…for a while. In the end, they offer no real fulfillment and wind up doing a great deal of damage to the person, even resulting in their untimely death.

All Things Global, Led by Globalists, Moving Us Toward Globalization
We are – as a global society – being led to the slaughter by individuals whose consciences have been seared because they have wholeheartedly given themselves over to become fully corrupted. They are now incorrigible and the only thing that will stem the tied is the supernatural act from a holy God.
Feeling Totally Out of Place
I pointed out how quickly superficiality has overtaken society. In fact, I find that most people won’t talk about how bad the economy is getting or why it’s getting worse. They won’t discuss the problems in the Middle East or how the Bible speaks to these issues. It appears that most people – even many church goers – would rather talk about the normal things in life. They want to talk about football or basketball and many of them act as though things will go on as normal since that’s the way it’s always been.
What Satan Started at Babel He is Completing Now
Satan has been rebuilding that kingdom since Nimrod’s Babel. We are at the point (I believe) where things are coming together. The world is being moved toward a one-world government. Satan will place himself as leader over this government in the form of his “spiritual” son, Antichrist.
We Celebrate the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Jesus came into this world to fulfill the law by living a life without sin. He succeeded. He came into this world to offer Himself as a sacrifice so that the justice of God would be satisfied, while His wrath would not have to be poured out on humanity. Those who reject this truth will – unfortunately – have His wrath poured out on them eternally. Will they stop sinning after they die? No, they will continue to sin forever and ever and because of it, God’s wrath will never cease. Does God want to do that? Of course not, but too many people think they know best.
The Gospel Should Be Preached In and Out of Season Until People “Get It”
There is only one thing in life that is worth hearing over and over again until people “get it.” That is the gospel. There is no other source of salvation except Jesus Christ and He makes that very clear in John 14. He and He alone is the way, the truth, and the life and no one (NO ONE) comes to the Father except through Him. How does one do that? By believing that He is who He says He is and that He has existed before all time and that because of His life without sin, His sacrificial death, and His resurrection, salvation is available to all.
