    The World is Passing Away

    Don’t Love the World 1 John 2:15-17 ESV “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the...

    Will you Forfeit your Soul?

    If Anyone Would Come Matthew 16:24 ESV “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me’.” This is the essence of the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, for Jesus died on that cross that we might die with him to sin...

    Counting the Cost of Discipleship

    Luke 14:25-33 ESV “Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, ‘If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and...

    What Does it Profit?

    Luke 9:23-26 ESV “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and...

    Follow Jesus, Not Strangers

    John 10:1-6 ESV “’Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own...

    No One Will Snatch Them Out

    John 10:27-30 ESV “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

    If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me!

    Jesus was very clear that He demand's a full surrender of one's life (loses it in this world) to follow Him every day forevermore. He made it clear that this ultimate sacrifice was required for everyone who will be saved. He said, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take...

    If Anyone Would Come

    Luke 9:23 ESV “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’” What does it take for us to deny ourselves? It means we say, “No!” to ungodliness and fleshly lusts. It means we say “No!” to what we want if God wants something...

    Follow The Leading Of The Holy Spirit

    Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit alone as He will teach and guide you in truth! Be careful not to be led by the teachings of mankind. Although they may mean well, they are blind guides that, if followed, will lead you off the narrow path of righteousness. Jesus said, "But the Advocate, the...

    Stay On The Narrow Path Of Righteousness

    “Let your eyes look forward; fix your gaze straight ahead. Make a level path for your feet, and all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil.” Proverbs 4:25-27 What wonderful spiritual wisdom from above! The many distractions we face on any...

    Don't Throw the Baby Out

    "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater." Just because some people or many people abuse truth, or the gifts of the Spirit, or the Word of God, etc., it doesn't mean we should throw out the whole shebang. Study the Scriptures in their context. Learn the right way of doing something, and...

    Jesus Said We Must Deny Ourselves And Follow Him

    Are you truly a follower of Christ? Not just someone who made a verbal commitment through a simple prayer and then decides to follow Him when it is convenient or when they need something. Instead, I am talking about someone who is completely sold out to leave this world and with all its desires...

    Walk As Jesus Walked

    "Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked." 1 John 2:6 If you have not listened to this message concerning today's local church system it is worth your time. The message speaks to how this religious institution got its start, why it continues to exist, why so many unknowingly...

    Are You Sure You’re Ready For The Return Of The Lord?

    “As they were walking along the road, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow You wherever You go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.” Then He said to another man, “Follow Me.” The man replied, “Lord, first let me go...

    Gain the World, Forfeit your Soul

    Mark 8:36-37 ESV “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?” How do we go about gaining the whole world? And, what is the world? Well, the world is the place where we live. And, it is the people of the world...

    Die Daily, Follow Jesus

    Luke 9:23 ESV And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Deny Self Jesus said this. He said that if we want to come after him, we must first of all deny ourselves. And, to deny is to refuse or to forbid ourselves, i.e...

    Subjective Reality

    If you have a disorder such as psychosis or schizophrenia, I would take caution reading into speculations such as this. I am truly a believer of God, and as it is said in the bible, there is a spiritual realm. The evil forces within this realm will do whatever they can to make people question...
