Should we follow this Great Leader or not?

We all want great leaders. Every country wants a better government. The issue is that sin is the cause of the issues of this world and we want people to solve issues. People can't cure sin because everyone is a sinner and the default position is to desire sin so no leader can save us. The only person that can save us is Jesus. He is God. Let us read Revelation 1:5. Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. Jesus is the faithful witness because the only true being is God. We have fake news and fake people in this world but Jesus is not fake. John 3:32-33 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.   He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. J ohn 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, w...

A place where grace and peace are real, read this if you may

I will be writing about Revelation 1:4. I will post the verse below this sentence. Revelation 1:4 John, To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne I will begin with the writer. His name was John. He was inspired by the Holy Spirit to wrote down the very words of God and the topic of the End Days. God had John to wrote to the the seven churches in the province of Asia. It is located about fifty miles apart, forming a circle in Asia moving clockwise north of Ephesus and coming around full circle from Laodicea (east of Ephesus). They were perhaps postal centers serving seven geographic regions. Apparently the entire book of Revelation was sent to each church. When John used the term Asia, the place he was talking about was a providence in Roman, lying in modern western Turkey. Grace and peace are needed to be together. If a person have grace then th...

Do you want the great life?

Do you want a great life? If you truly want a great life then we must read this. These words will help you and I hope that you will take it to heart. Revelation 1:1-3 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. The book of Revelation is a great book. The non-believer will not understand this book because they only see the earthquakes, pain and issues of the last days. The believer will see the justice of God and the soon government of Jesus that will judge the world's system that is bent on evil. It is true, if you reject Jesus then you will only see the judgement because you are not hoping in Jesus bu...

The new year of 2018

Life keeps on moving. The year of 2017 moved quickly. I am the first to admit that I am doing my best. I hope that I am doing what I should be doing. I don't know where you live but I live in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle housing market is crazy and it will keep on growing. I think of all the people that are bragging about their houses and have not repented from their sins. Luke 12:16-21 says,  And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with ...

How can we know for sure that we'll go to heaven?

A Barna poll shows that for every American who believes he or she is going to Hell, there are 120 who believe they're going to Heaven. Yet Christ said otherwise: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it" (Matthew 7:13-14). Heaven, then, is not our default destination. No one goes there automatically. Unless our sin problem is dealt with, the only place we can go is Hell, our true default destination when we die. In the Bible, Jesus talks more about Hell than anyone else (Matthew 10:28; 13:40-42; Mark 9:43-44). He refers to it as a real place and describes it in graphic terms-including raging fires and the worm that doesn't die. Christ says the unsaved "will be thrown out-side, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:12). Is it possible to know fo...

Will there be marriage and family in heaven?

Jesus said that resurrected people would not be married (Matthew 22:30). Yet the Bible makes it clear that there will be marriage in heaven. There will be one marriage, between Christ and His bride. People long for a perfect marriage. That's exactly what people have- a perfect marriage with Christ. Your spouse should be your best friend and closet brother or sister in Christ. When you see your believing spouse goes to heaven. Do you think that you will say: "Did you used to be my wife or husband? Didn't we have children? Think they'll remember me?" The notion that we would not remember our closet earthly relationships is absurd. It suggests our daily earthly lives and relationships are of no eternal consequence, while the Bible teaches the opposite. Jesus said the institute of human marriage would end, having fulfilled its purpose to anticipate and reflect the marriage of Christ and His bride (Ephesians 5:23-32). But he did not say or imply that the deep relati...

Will we be reunited with and recognized our loved ones in heaven?

Being with Christ will be the greatest joy of heaven. The next greatest joy will be reuniting with our loved ones who have died. The certainty of the ultimate reunion is so sweet that it makes the parting bearable. The Bible nowhere suggests a "memory wipe" causing us not to recognize family and friends. In fact, if we wouldn't know our loved ones, the "comfort" of an afterlife reunion, spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18, would be no comfort at all. Theologian J. C. Ryle said of this passage, "There would be no point in these words of consolation if they didn't imply the mutual recognition of saints. The hope with which he cheers wearied Christians is the hope of meeting their beloved friends again.... In the moment that we who are saved shall meet our several friends in heaven, we shall at once know them and they will at once know us." At the Transfiguration, the three disciples recognized Moses and Elijah, even though they weren't told wh...
