Can You Lose Your Salvation? – Heb 6:4-6, 10:26-27

Can You Lose Your Salvation?

“That’s it Bob, the hell with them all!  I’ll show them.” Jim Schumer screamed out.  “Pull.”  The three clay pigeons flew into the sky and as always Jim hit all of them.

Jim was a retired marine, a sharp shooter, the best.  He could shoot a target 1.973 miles away.  He held the blue ribbon for all shooting events in the county, including the fast draw with a…

Are Banks Trustworthy?

Do you trust banks?  Do you trust our government?

A lot of people say that they don’t trust either, but the bank has all their money.  So how can you not trust the bank if they have all your money?

So, do you go in the bank and say, “I work very hard for my money.  I don’t trust you, but here’s my money, protect it.”

Since the bank is protected by the government in…

Only His Name Matters - Acts 4:12

Only His Name Matters – Acts 4:12

It’s Just A Name.  Is It?

As most days, the newsroom office was buzzing.  Some reporters were sharing stories, others were working on a document together, while others worked alone inside their cubicle. 

Sam was one of the best reporters there, but not today.  He couldn’t write or even sit down.  He paced up and down, then went around in circles, wrenching his hands and cracking his neck.

Pretenders Will Never Reach the End of the Peer

Bill sat at the bar stool drinking his beer with a confused look on his face.  He held a picture of his 19-year-old daughter in his hand, unconsciously he slightly shook his head back and forth.

The Bartender noticed the sour face Bill was wearing and walked over to him.  “What’s up buddy, did someone die or something?”  He said jokingly.

Without Faith There is Only Damnation - Eph 2:8-9

Without Faith There is Only Damnation – Eph 2:8-9

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph 2:8-9).

There are many, many people that do not understand the above scripture.  They think that you can earn or work for salvation.  Like Simon thought he could purchase the Holy Ghost (Acts 8:18-21).  They think that if they’re kind to others, do…

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Rom 10:9-10).

Beware of False Prophets, Such as the Catholics (Matt 7:15-20)

I Am the Way - Jn 14:6, 1 Pet 2-9

I Am the Way – Jn 14:6, 1 Pet 2-9

Have you ever been to Key West, Florida?  The quickest and safest way, and the smartest way, and if you travel by automobile the only way, would be to go through Key Largo.  If you go any other way then unpleasant things could possibly happen and you may not ever get there.   Take the straight and narrow way (Matt 7:13-14).

  “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no…

Charity Suffereth Long - 1 Cor 13:4-7

Charity Suffereth Long – 1 Cor 13:4-7

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things” (1 Cor 13:4-7).

Negative Feelings

The Ego and the Id

Most people go through feelings of anger, fear, sadness, and even downright hatefulness.  When we get in those sour moods we know the “cause” of those feelings, or do we?  Do we know the “why”?  The cause and the why are not the same.  I have a theory on the “cause,” I know the “why,” and I know the “cure,” I know the cure personally.

How to Become a Winner

If you want someone to tell you how to become what you want to be I’m sorry, I can’t help you.  Yet, if you want to become what God wants you to be than:

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matt 6:33).

Faith vs Empiricism – Jn 3:17, Jn 12:44-50, Heb 11:1

Faith vs Empiricism – Jn 3:17, Jn 12:44-50, Heb 11:1

Empiricism: King of Blunders

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb 11:1).

What is an empiricist?  The simplest definition is “a fool.”  Merriam-Webster defines it as:

1 a: a former school of medical practice founded on experience without the aid of science or theory

b: quackery, charlatanry

2 a: the practice of relying on observation and…
