Q. Some people say that even though you are saved, you don’t have eternal life until judgment day.

Gracethrufaith Question of the Day: Q. Some people say that even though you are saved, you don’t have eternal life until judgment day. The way I understand them is that you can be saved, but some kind of sin that is not repented of (to cease doing) that comes into your life before you die will cause you to lose your salvation on judgment day. They really are confusing me. Can you clear this up for me? A. There are several problems with this one. In the first place the only judgment believers will face happens after the rapture and …

FREEDOM IN CHRIST

JOHN 11:44_____________________________________“And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him, and let him go .’” Lazarus was a well-beloved friend of Jesus, the brother of Mary and Martha. He was one of those believers whom Jesus found great pleasure in spending time with. Following Jesus is always exciting and often challenging as we see in this particular portion of Scripture. God has given us life, but one day we will each experience death and that card was dealt to Jesus’ dear friend …

All Things Prophecy: Vol. III

by

By Pete Garcia -March 4, 20190178 The Politics of the Beast Thinking about the final week of years (the 70th Week) and all that must occur therein, and I struggle to see how it all takes place within just those seven years. As noted in previous briefs, I believe there will be a gap in time between the Rapture of the Church, and the official start of the 70th Week. Looking at it purely from a logistical and operational standpoint, the man of lawlessness will have an incredible amount of things to do in a very short period of time (even with a gap). Example: If …

Casual Christianity

Dr. Mike Murphy I am a people watcher!  Let me sit down in a restaurant or a public setting, and I will quickly begin to notice the actions of those around me.  With the cancer, I do not get as many opportunities to find myself watching people in public these days.  But the other day, I got one of these opportunities as I had a bite of lunch at one of my favorite fast food places(one where cows tell us to eat mor chikin!)  As I was enjoying my sandwich with a relative of mine, I heard two women at …

Jesus had to be a man…

Read carefully Hebrews 2:17 – 2:18 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.. You would see a parrallel to John 17:19: And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth. As we all know the name,ADAM means the father of the human race. …

I am the true vine [the source of life and growth] and My Father is the husbandman [the One who initiates all things].

It has become clear to me of late that knowing the will of God is not so much a matter of ‘do this or that’ as it is a life in Christ. What I mean by that is, as I yield myself fully to Him to do whatever it takes, that the self of me would be crucified and that He might live and manifest Himself through me in increasing measure. Then I will operate out of His will and heart more and more. In line with this, I want to expand John 15:1-5, into what I believe is the …

THE DANGER OF IDLE TALK

Proverbs 12:13-22 (KJV)13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.16 A fool’s wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but …

Jesus stated in John 17:19:

by

“And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.” First, some background. The word SANCTIFY means” To set apart for God’s use.” It really means to belong to God, which is why the word is often translated, “holy.” Likewise, the word SAINT comes from the same Greek word, “haggios,” and means, “holy ones, or ones set apart for God.” Indeed, even the term, “HOLY Spirit,” means, “the setting apart spirit.” From this we see that to be holy or sanctified, is by definition, what a saved person IS unto God — by definition …

JesusLand, Gun Control and the Coming Prince – by Jack Kinsella

by

”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (US Constitution, 2nd Amendment, ratified December 15th, 1791) The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is apparently written in language so mysterious and sublime that it means something different to everybody who reads it. Evidently, it also changes meaning as the clock ticks forward, since it continues to be interpreted and re-interpreted as if there were an ongoing contest for the most original interpretation of a sentence that, to the ignorant and uninitiated masses, …

‘Enduring to the End – by Jack Kinsella

“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2nd Peter 3:3-4) For most of the past two thousand years, the scoffers had a point. In terms of Bible prophecy and the return of Christ, things remained pretty much the same from the close of the Apostolic Era until roughly the beginning of the 20th century. When Jesus was asked by His disciples, “What shall …

Facing Our Fears

Fear prevents us from trusting fully in God, but He knows the cause of our anxiety and wants to set us free Psalms 91:1 – 91:16 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be …
