Why Are So Few People Saved?
The matter of eternal salvation is not an issue God has presented for us to debate. His Word presents it as truth to be personally, humbly accepted through genuine, sincere faith in Christ. Salvation is available to all, but it is urgent that all receive it now.
The Evidence Speaks for Itself
The truth about who Jesus is and what He has done will be hated, resisted, ridiculed, and attacked. That is a sad fact, but it does not change the reality of Jesus' person and work. The evidence speaks for itself.
Learning from Unexpected Moments in Life
Jesus reminds us that the events of life should cause us to reflect upon eternity and our relationship with Him. The unexpected, especially, points us to the urgency of trusting Christ today as Savior and Lord.
Settling Your Debt with God
As it was for Jesus, so His followers may face very difficult times in this world. Their suffering, however, will be limited to this world. In contrast, a terrible, eternal judgment awaits those who reject Christ. Jesus Himself gives us all fair warning.
What to Do While You Wait
The expectation of Jesus' return is not a motivation to just sit back and await His coming but to watch for it with excitement and joy and to work all the harder in His service. We need to be faithful stewards of the time and opportunities He has given us.
How to Conquer Anxiety
Covetousness is a deadly danger, and it is often fueled by anxiety. Jesus not only warns us of the temptation of covetousness, but also provides the antidote to anxiety.
Justifiable Fear in Life
Fears can become cruel masters that control and crush your lives. Faith in the Lord is the key to breaking free of such debilitating fears. Yet, Jesus Himself teaches us there are some things we should, in fact, fear.
Becoming a Better Hypocrite
Jesus has very strong words for spiritual hypocrites. We are wise to heed those words and be ever alert to the underlying attitude of the world that fuels it--namely, the pride that promotes a focus on ourselves and on impressing others.
The Opportunity of a Lifetime
Learning the truth of God revealed in His Word is not merely an academic exercise. That is because the truth--properly understood and applied--changes our lives. Jesus warns that to reject it is to flounder in spiritual darkness and invite divine judgment.
Whose Side Are You On?
Jesus' life, works, and teaching demand a decision about who He is. Do we accept Him as Lord and Savior or foolishly try to explain away the things He taught by word and deed? There is no middle ground.
