Natural and man-made tragedies fill the headlines every day. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and wars all bring a sudden and violent end to the lives of so many. One minute people are living life as usual, and the next, they find themselves in an eternal Hell. There are no do-overs or second chances. Those who have rejected Christ in this life will spend eternity without Him. Life without Jesus in the physical realm is, at best, meaningless.

In the spiritual realm, an eternity without Jesus is unbearable. Each soul in Hell will forever experience darkness, evil, separation, and despair. Think about that every time you watch or read the news. When people die, it should break our hearts. It should strengthen our resolve to tell everyone about the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

A Devoted Life

by

There are times you encounter things in life you just can’t shake. As I exited the church I was attending recently, the pastor and a man who had identified himself as the head elder were standing at the door, ostensibly to say goodbye to people as they were leaving. As we approached, I heard them conversing somewhat passionately about… the NFL playoffs.

That may seem innocent enough, but it has been gnawing at me ever since. I suppose it was their way of letting off steam after putting in their obligatory sixty-five minutes of church for the week. To me, it was a picture of everything wrong with Christianity in a five-second window. We are so enraptured by the world that we no longer understand what it means to live a sacred and devoted life.

In the Blink of an Eye

by

Before we begin, let me state a couple of things this article is not. It is not a commentary on the Covid mRNA shot. Intelligent people can and should look at all the research and findings to make their own decision on that. You don’t need me, the media, celebrities, or the government to tell you what to think or believe about such things. It is also not in any way to express medical opinions which I am eminently not qualified to discuss.

What I do want to talk about is the alarming number of otherwise healthy people who are dying suddenly. For our discussion, the cause of their death is irrelevant. As followers of Jesus, what should concern us is how many people, in the blink of an eye, are finding themselves in eternal Hell.

Born to Die

by

The birth of Christ is indeed worthy of celebration. It marks the moment God stepped into history to make a way for the salvation of humanity. We rejoice and sing majestic carols to the King of Kings, and marvel at the miracle of His birth and the subsequent sinless life He led. But perhaps because of all the pageantry in our celebrations, we overlook that while the birth of Christ was glorious, the fact is Jesus was born to die.

His life on earth would last a scant thirty-three years. Three decades after marveling at His birth, His mother would mourn His death. Jesus came so we might live, but the only way to give us that life would cost Him His own.

Every Moment Holy

by

Someone recently gave me a book titled, “Every Moment Holy”. I haven’t had the chance to read it, but the title struck me. To see every moment as holy is our responsibility as worshippers of the One true God. To live every moment holy is the calling on every life that proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord. Our attitude each day should be to see God’s holiness in every moment of the day and to observe how He constantly reveals His glory in the world around us.

There is so much sin and darkness, but God’s holiness can still be found by those who seek Him. As we seek His glory, we bring Him glory by ordering our steps so that everything we think, say, and do is holy and pleasing to our King.
