The First Inhabitants of the Eternal Lake of Fire—Be Warned!

I’m preaching tonight on Revelation 19:11–21 on the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to earth. He came 2,000 years ago as a baby but in the near-future He’s coming back, not as a baby, but as a Sovereign and vengeful Judge.It is at this Second Coming when, as John says in Revelation 19, that the beast (=the Antichrist) and the false prophet (=the side-kick of the Antichrist who performs many miracles...

Better News Simply Does Not Exist...

“The gospel, in brief, is the good news about the person and finished work of Jesus Christ. Consider for a moment that the eternal Son of God relinquished the glories of heaven to become a man, a human being like you and me. He lived a perfect and sinless life (unlike you and me), fulfilling every requirement of God’s holy law in a way we could never hope to accomplish. And then in a glorious display...

Great quotes on evangelism and preaching the gospel!

I'm preaching on Evangelism and the Great Commission this Sunday at Church and here are a few quotes that I have mused over today..."'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for...

Believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved!

I am utterly convinced that the responsibility to preach and teach God’s Word is the highest calling God could have placed upon feeble man. Last night I had the privilege of preaching at church and I delivered a sermon on why you should believe in the gospel. It was a gospel message. I had seven reasons:It reconciles you with a holy GodIt transforms you from the inside outIt rescues you from eternal...

Lessons from Israel

Just got home yesterday from an 11 day tour in Israel. Here are a few lessons God taught me this trip.First, God Guides. I knew this already. I have experienced this before in my life.

In Israel as I led our group of six around the land, I prayed daily for God to guide us and...
