We were on the cross with Christ.

Contrary to popular opinion, if you are a born again christian you were on the cross with Christ. Where do I begin. My Pastor in my small group says no, but what do you mean we were on the cross with Christ? I mean come on this is Christianity 101. Hey have you heard the story, there was a man named Jesus, he died for the sins of the whole world and if you repent and believe the message of the cross you will be saved from eternal separation from God in a place called hell, but what the heck do you mean that I died with him? Sorry if you didn't then you are not saved.

Not only did you crucify the Lord Jesus, but when you repent of your sins, confess Him as Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and receive Jesus as owner ruler Master (Lord and Saviour) you are born again. But you still haven't answered the question I died with him. Christianity is about death, the death of the Saviour, and your death. You must die to be born again, that's what the term means. You were alive, apart from the forgiveness that God offers through his son, Jesus who is Lord, and upon the confession that you are separated from God, salvation is useless unless you repent and believe.

I'm am sorry but Christianity rises and falls if Jesus didn't take your sins to the cross and you were not raised from spiritual death that's what gives you new life. If you have not died with Christ you are not saved and you will spend eternity separated from ..in hell.

If you are not a believer make the good profession of faith, just don't repent, believe the gospel. Jesus died for your sins to give you new life. Receive the free gift of salvation by trusting Jesus today as your Lord and Saviour. Become born again. in Jesus name amen.

Age of Brokenness.

We are living in an age of brokenness, no matter what age you are, you probably have been touched with relationships falling apart, which causes more and more people to live in isolation. In this generation there is less of an incentive to heal and reconcile relationships, but that doesn’t excuse the amount of people who are broken. Why people don’t seem to be motivated to heal relationships is because our beliefs about faith and God have changed, really giving us less of an incentive to do what our religion says. If I act from my personal beliefs, but the person that I am responding to has abandoned religious beliefs, than the response to my wanting things to be better can be misinterpreted and rejected then by someone else. Generally when a society has expectations about broken relationships, loneliness and isolation, and the beliefs are generally accepted, society becomes a more compassionate society, because all value the same things. When religious values are undermined and ...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Matthew 25:1-13 I have discovered a remarkable interpretation of this parable that I would like to share with you. The story in the Bible goes like this: “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ 7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ 9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy som...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
