The Free Gift of Salvation.

Would you be Ready?

If the world was going to end today, would you be ready? History is leading up to one Point, and that is the second coming of Jesus Christ. Not many in the world today know this, but this is because most of the world forgot it. There are many in the world who don't know Jesus personally, and this is what is required to believe in Him in order to be prepared for the end of the world and His second coming. In the book of Acts after the resurrection of Jesus, he ascended back into Heaven and this is what it says; "And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." Acts 1:7-11 | KJV

The apostles witnessed Jesus go back to heaven after His death and resurrection, and two angels prophesied that Jesus would come back in like manner. These angels were referring to the second coming of Jesus, which is yet to come. God is not coming back to this world to die for our sins, He is coming back to judge it, and to save those who are waiting for Him. His second coming can happen at any time and the way you get ready is by being born again. In Romans 10 it says, "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:8-13 | KJV

Jesus died on a cross over 2000 years ago and the bible asks us to believe this. After Jesus died, on the third day He rose from the dead and appeared alive to many people. Jesus is the Lord, and in order to be saved we have to acknowledge this and make Him our Lord. Because He is Lord, He has the right to judge this world when He comes back a second time. Every word in the bible is true and if we don't accept Jesus as Saviour and Lord, he will be our judge on the Last day! The way you make Jesus your Lord and Saviour is by believing in him and receiving him as Lord and Saviour. We first need to realize we are sinners, the bible says "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Next, we need to repent, repentance is an old English word that means doing a U-turn on the road of life, it is agreeing with God about our sins and deciding to turn from our sin unto Jesus Christ for forgiveness. In Mark 1:15 it says "Repent and believe the Good News!" Next we need to actually receive the free gift of salvation and we do that by demonstrating an act of faith in Jesus Christ and what he has already done for you. He died on a cross to forgive you of all your sins, past, present, and future. You need to repent and have faith. In John 5:24 it says "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life" If you have never done that, you can do it right now by saying a simple prayer like this one: (out loud)
        "Jesus I believe you died on a cross for the payment of my sins, you were my substitute of atonement and took my penalty that my sins deserved when you died for me.
I confess with my mouth that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you rose from the dead. I now repent and turn from my sins, and receive You as my personal Lord and Saviour, now and for the rest of my life. Thank you Jesus for forgiving me, and for dying for me. Based on Scripture I am now a child of God!"  

It's that simple to become saved. (We receive this free gift of salvation by faith and repentance). This is Mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

  Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.  1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

  In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer.   I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long.  I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

  The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
