Jimmy Swaggart and the Message of the Cross.

I was only fifteen years old when the Jimmy Swaggart scandal broke out, was not a born again Christian, and just remembering that there was this awful christian guy who did something with a prostitute. That was my last memory of Jimmy Swaggart. I accepted the Lord in 1995 when I was twenty one and got most of my spiritual food through Christian radio. Sometime after the horrible events of September 11, 2001 when the World Trade Towers were attacked, I stumbled across Jimmy Swaggart on television, probably one Sunday morning getting ready for church. I believe the first thing I ordered from this ministry was a bible commentary on the book of Daniel. I also ordered some study guides, but what they were preaching sounded right, even though everyone around me was criticising me for supporting a once fallen evangelist. And my message to you is the same that it was to them at the time, "Listen to the message he is preaching, and if you don't agree with the message, then you can criticise me!" I love Jimmy Swaggart, allot of preachers do, you just may not know their names, but some you might. Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, supports the message and the preaching of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and so do I.

Some are saying that it is a new revelation biblically therefore it is false, but if you were to ask them to explain the message of the cross, I think they would have a superficial way of understanding it. I would encourage anyone hungry for what the bible says about how to live for God, which is really the most important message any christian needs to know, to order study guides and material from http://jsm.org/

    I agree the message of the cross is very important, however I would warn you to listen closely and search the scripture and see if the presentation of JSM is truly in agreement with Gods word. I'm afraid it is not even tho they do preach a lot of truth, it is my opinion there is also the leaven of much error. Much imbalance and a Gospel that gives people a pass to look lightly upon sin, and avoid any personal responsibility for your actions.

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...
