DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN?

by

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN? The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards.Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians …

Make Me Like Al

by

Make Me Like Al Dr, Mike Murphy September 11, 2018 There are days in each of our lives that we will never forget. There are times I can look back on and see the events as vividly and clearly as if they were happening today. Special moments, the birth of a child, a great accomplishment, the day you were married, they all play effortlessly in our minds. Sometimes these are moments we would love to forget, but they have still been etched in the depths of our minds. For anyone over the age of twenty, one of theses vivid moments …

Forgiveness

by

Forgiveness Snow that fell so softly in the night changed earth’s soot to white in glistening loveliness. Forgiveness like soft snow gently cover the soil and lo ugliness is beauty! Lucille Gardner God is committed to forgiving sin so thoroughly that He will put it out of His mind., out of remembrance, and out of sight. This is a great truth to grasp. God says in the Bible, “I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins” (Isaiah 43:25 Heb. 8:12; 10:17). God chooses not to remember …

“This man receiveth sinners.” Luke 15:2

by

“This man receiveth sinners.” Luke 15:2 Observe the condescension of this fact. This Man, who towers above all other men, holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners–this Man receiveth sinners. This Man, who is no other than the eternal God, before whom angels veil their faces–this Man receiveth sinners. It needs an angel’s tongue to describe such a mighty stoop of love. That any of us should be willing to seek after the lost is nothing wonderful–they are of our own race; but that he, the offended God, against whom the transgression has been committed, should take upon himself the form …
