Evangelism to Children—Children Need the Gospel, Too
Children need to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, too. They are accountable for their souls once they reach the age of accountability. They need salvation just as much as adults, and we should not neglect children in evangelism and discipleship by despising and overlooking…

The “I AM” Statements of Jesus
“I AM HE.” Jesus, John 8:28 Have you come to know him? He is he! You may ask, who or what is he? He is, all in all. (Colossians 3:11) Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:24). He…

God’s Standard and Way to Heaven Have Not Changed
The standards and way to heaven have not changed to suit the modern generation: The way is still difficult. (Matthew 7:14) The gate is still narrow. (Matthew 7:14) The highway is still one of holiness. (Isaiah 35:8) The path is still ancient. (Jeremiah 6:16) Those…

He Ever Lives to Make Intercession for Us
“He ever lives to make intercession for you.” Think about that. When I was a backslider, Jesus was interceding for me. When I was in abominations, he was interceding for me. When I hated myself, he was interceding for me. When no one loved me,…

Repentance, Restitution, and Public Confession of Public Sin
When I had backslidden and became a new age spiritual teacher (teaching on oneness, Christ consciousness, and spiritual awakening), I was deeply deceived by Satan, and as a result, I deceived others too by my writings, counsel, and books for years. My testimony of repentance…

Forsaking All to Follow the Lord Jesus Christ
There is always that one thing you, as an individual, must give up for the kingdom of God. For the rich young ruler, it was wealth (Matthew 19:16-22). He kept all the commandments but loved his money. Jesus told him he had to give it…

Salvation Is Free; Heaven Is Conditional on Obedience
Salvation is free and open to all, but entering heaven is conditional on obedience. Any sinner who repents and turns to Jesus will be accepted by Grace through faith; salvation is free to all. But entering heaven is for those who continue in the faith…

“I Will Build My Church.” Jesus
CHRIST is the HEAD of his church, and he said, I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18). The church he is building is not buildings, denominations, or ministries of men; his church is the body…

The Cost of Discipleship—Have You Counted the Cost?
There is a cost to following Jesus. To be a disciple of Christ and not just a professing Christian or religious Christian has a cost and price to pay. It is a narrow road, and it is difficult and littered with persecutions, reproach, and separation.…

He Who Endures to the End Shall Be Saved
We are not saved once for all; salvation is not an event. We are saved (justification), being saved (sanctification), and shall be saved (glorification) when we receive our resurrected bodies. Salvation has a beginning, and an ending. That’s why Jesus is called the author and…

True Salvation Is Being Born Again (Born of God)
True Salvation Is Not Repeating a Prayer but Repenting, and Being Born Again of God/from Above. Genuine salvation is to be born AGAIN. Just as in the natural birth process, spiritual rebirth is painful. The man or woman is being BORN again of God. It…
