There is no where in the Bible that anyone ever prayed a "sinner's prayer", was ever told to pray a "sinner's pray" or ever used a "sinner's prayer" to be saved. Many people think that they are saved because someone told them that they had to pray a "sinner's prayer" to ask Jesus to come into their heart, but there is no such instruction anywhere in the Bible concerning salvation. From ancient times, the Scriptures instructed men everywhere to seek God earnestly in order to find Him. Men were told to be broken for their sins and to come to the Lord in humility and to seek Him in rMore ➜

"What Then? Shall We Sin Because We Are Not Under Law But Grace? May it Never be!" Romans 6:15 But, isn't that exactly what so many "Christians" are doing? Willfully sinning and saying they are covered by Grace? Is it really the Grace of God that allows one to keep on sinning as a "Christian"? If so, then why did Paul say, may it never be? Why are there countless warnings about God's judgment to the churches if it was ok to practice sin as a believer? Why did the apostles waste all that ink writing about those warnings to the churches if there was no danger? Isn't it possible thatMore ➜

The "Rapture" will take away all Christians First – Truth or Myth? There are various teachings on "rapture" today, but the most popular one says that "Christians" will be taken away first and the those that remain will go through great tribulations and troubles here on earth. Since the term "rapture" does not appear in Scripture and since the doctrine of the modern "rapture" has only been around for a couple hundred years, it would be prudent to see what the Bible has to say about it – pay attention to the order in which the end of time unfolds: MAT 24More ➜

See what Jesus told his disciples concerning getting paid when they preached: MAT 10:7-10 "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely you received, freely give. "Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, or a bag for your journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support. Notice that the first thing Jesus told them was, "freely you received, freely give". That clearly means the gospel did not cost themMore ➜

What does God say? Do you know? Or, are you just familiar with the doctrines of your denomination or traditions handed down to you by others? Have you ever studied it out for yourself? If not, are you willing to risk the loss of your soul forever and forever, based on what someone else has told you? Please, stop, pray, listen and think, think, think! In MAT 24:13 Jesus said, "But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved. What if this one began sincerely with Jesus but did not endure to the end? What if he turned away or fell away? What then? Was not the condition tMore ➜

That is what everybody always told me, to pay the tithe! I heard it from every "Christian" financial counselor I have ever talked with to almost every church I have ever been a part of in my 30+ years of walking with God. I have heard a multitude of messages on tithing from many preachers. It sometimes seemed that a sermon on tithing would come up every time the building mortgage payment came due. I heard so much on tithing from ministers, that I used to think that God was more concerned with tithing than He was just about anything else. In fact, I used to have the impression that the subjeMore ➜
