Fear of Judgement Day Should lead you to Repentance.

As Christians in the 21st century, we are told not to judge. Some even have quoted our own Bible to us, “Judge not, lest ye be judged” (Matthew 7:1-3). But what is this fear that is motivating sinners to pronounce their own judgment upon those who take the Bible seriously? I believe it’s their own fear of standing before a holy God themselves and being ultimately accountable for their own sins and rejection of Jesus Christ after they die!

For the Christian our judge will be our Saviour, so we don’t fear going to hell precisely because we have trusted in him, and we are forgiven, but for those who haven’t entrusted their lives to Jesus Christ, they have everything to fear because the God they have rejected will ultimately condemn them, unless they truly repent before they die.

Not wanting to be judged in this life would make our particular judgment after death extremely terrifying. Some people who think like this have an extremely distorted view of the Bible and Christian theology. They tend to make up their own theology about salvation and the judgment, betting that their is no hell, and possibly no heaven at all. Most live their lives for hedonistic pursuits, looking to chance and betting that if there is a Heaven, somehow they will be accepted. However the Bible teaches that anyone who goes to Heaven, first must admit they are sinners, (Romans 3:23).

When we come to God in this way, (Spiritually bankrupt) we then are able to abandon our own self efforts and trust Jesus Christ alone for our salvation. God doesn’t want us trusting in ourselves because His plan of salvation includes a Saviour, and we are not our own Saviour, we are sinners. To deny Original Sin by saying we never died spiritually as a human race or individually, is to deny biblical theology, and the nature and character of God in human history. It creates a false narrative and a false religion by denying the old and new covenant. It denies the existence of the God of the Bible and makes you a denier of God, the Bible, and the Holy Trinity and also a heretic.

To deny Original Sin is to deny reality. However this is precisely what some people think, that by denying biblical truths, they can silence the God of the Bible, their own conscience and ultimately their own judgment after they die! This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
