What Did You Just Say, Pastor Wayne?!? Are You Serious?!?!

What did you just say, Pastor Wayne?!? Are you serious?!?!

Yes! The Resurrection Christ, and the belief that Jesus rose from the dead IS A BIG LIE....that is, FOR MOST PEOPLE. This single issue of the so-called “Christian Religion” is the one thing the majority of people cannot believe or accept and is the #1 stumbling block for accepting the message of the Gospel.

Ask the average person and they will concede that the Bible is a general historical description of events that happened in ancient Israel, and most likely would also concede that Jesus was both a real historical figure and an influential teacher and a good man. Beyond that, this raise-from-the-dead business is not only false, but also not possible or believable.

Are you one of those people? If so, consider this...

Billions of people have experienced “the likeness of his resurrection” in their lives through miracles, healings, answered prayers, and a profound sense of inner peace. The comparisons of Christian believers is universal – across all nations, ethnicities, and ages. Without going into a lot of technical and theological detail, the integrity and message of Christ - as well as the Bible - has been proven over and over again to be not just historically accurate, but also within its overall message.

So where does this lead YOU if you still do not believe this raise-from-the-dead business? It is a challenge to re-evaluate WHY you feel that way. Investigate it for yourself; don’t just pass this off. If it is true, it is the key to not only this life, but the next life as well.

I recently saw an amazing medical documentary about the very first moment of conception in the womb. This is a profound achievement that has never before been possible in the history of modern medical science.

After seeing this program, there is no doubt that human life is not only miraculous, but the most intricate and complex creation God has ever made. As your Creator, He is actually present there with you from that very first moment! He is the ONE who loves every single part of you and who knows your ways, the ONE who has come to understand your joys and heart aches, the ONE who endowed you with our own unique personality, gifts, hopes, and dreams. God is the ONE who will still be with you throughout all your days...your entire life time! There is nothing about you that God is not aware of, and nothing in all this world more important to Him than YOU. While science can document the event, they don’t really know how and why life suddenly starts, but the Bible says that "HE forms us in our mother’s womb." (Psalm 139:13)

The Lord God is the Alpha and Omega who knows the beginning and the end, and is Omnipresent knowing your days and what you will do. Today’s verse says that he has already written them in His book.

A good friend of mine once gave me a sign which hangs on our kitchen wall that says, “Life is fragile. Handle with care.” It’s a reminder to Wayne and me that every single day is precious. So enjoy the day that you are given, and make the very most of it.

Take time today to read Ephesians 3 and thank your heavenly Father for creating you and for giving you the breath of life and for making you a miraculous miracle! Enjoy your Father’s love and be blessed knowing you are LOVED (and made!) inside and out!

Did you know that everything we do outside of God’s will leave a black mark on our soul, but that the good news is that every single mark can be erased with the blood of Jesus?

Maybe you are asking how can the blood of anyone erase these marks? Well, the answer my friend is that the blood of Jesus bled out for you long before you were even born. He died 2,000 years ago on a wooden cross so that you would not have to wear those marks of sin and took all your sins upon Himself so that you could live eternally in heaven.

The blood of Jesus is pure and holy. When you come to know Jesus as your LORD and SAVIOR He washes all those marks of sin completely out of you and wipes every mistake of your life OUT just as if you never had them! When you receive this gift and accept what Christ has done for you, you will know deep inside that they are gone and you will have no desire to mark yourself in sin again.

There’s a wonderful old hymn called “Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus” that says: “What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! What can make me clean within? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! Oh, precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow. No other fount I know. Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”

If the world is pulling you and drawing you into sin that keeps continuing on and on in your life, stop right now and ask Jesus to come into your life. Come with all your heart and just say:

Jesus, please forgive me of my sins. I surrender myself to you.

When you take that step and confess your sins to him, he will lead you to a fulfilled life. Allow the Lord to erase those marks you’ve been making on your soul. Give them to Jesus and Let Him Erase Them ALL...and He WILL!

The Apostle Peter wrote:

“Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb without blemish and spot.” 1 Peter 1:18

When you read the Bible, ask God to give you a deep desire to read, retain, and apply His WORD in your life. Then thank and praise God that He has made a way for all your sins to be forgiven. God has a better plan of hope, love, provision waiting for you when you decide to receive God’s forgiveness, and experience His love. Come and follow Jesus. Apply the SIN ERASER to your life!

Are you worried about your life or what’s coming next? if so, then find solace in today’s scripture because there is astonishing hope for everyone who believes in Christ! Jesus reminds us that He created the world and everyone in it and He is in control of everything. He promises eternal life to ALL people into his eternal home in heaven and you don’t have to demonstrate or demand anything to get there. Think about that!

While protestors are filling the streets demanding that “BLACK LIVES MATTER!!” - and that is TRUE - from God’s point of view He looks at the world and says THAT ALL LIVES MATTER!! Regardless of what does or does not happen on the earth, ALL LIVES will be in eternity one way or another, and nothing matters more than a person’s eternal state -- not their earthly state.

While there are major injustices in the world, we all need to understand that life here on earth is temporary. Instead of complaining about the unfairness of life in the world, instead embrace the opportunity to show kindness, compassion, mercy, forgiveness (and above all) LOVE for your fellow man. Rebellious behavior solves nothing and is the opposite of peace. God created man to live in harmony and peace, so instead of “If you Want Peace, Work For Justice,” turn this around and say “If you want JUSTICE, work for Peace.” JESUS CHRIST is the PRINCE OF PEACE and when you demonstrate love towards your ALL LIVES and God, He will bring justice to the world. If we do that, then all lives WILL matter.

So as tragic as some things are in the world, look at the eternal view and not just the chaotic world around us. This world is TEMPORARY but what follows is unseen. It is YOUR ETERNITY. This is what matters.

Friend, fix your eyes on the ultimate security and fulfillment that already awaits you because of the work Jesus did for you on the cross. All lives do indeed matter, but in God’s eyes Your Eternal Life Matters. Work towards God and you shall have both PEACE now and ETERNAL LIFE latter.

The word KNOWLEDGE is defined as the 'acquaintance with facts, truths or principles' It means to perceive or understand as fact or truth; to apprehend clearly and with certainty. Knowledge is typically gained through books, research, and delving into facts.

WISDOM is defined as 'the state of being wise,' which means 'having the power of discernment and judging properly as to what is true or right: possessing discernment, judgement, or discretion.' Wisdom is typically gained from experiences acquired over time.

So, we can see that knowledge and wisdom are two different things. In one sense, Knowledge resides in the MIND, but Wisdom resides in the HEART.

The wisdom book of Proverbs points us to the differences on achieving wisdom over knowledge in order to see life from God’s point of view and how to apply His wisdom in life. When you meditate on and listen to God ’s Word; and obey it, there will always be a Positive Benefit. Proverbs 24:3 says, “ Through wisdom lives are built, and by understanding it is established.”

My friend, if you want to be wise, trust in God and make a place for it in your heart. When you do, your path through life will always be well directed.

The #1 issue that people say that causes them to refuse the Gospel message is:

I can’t Believe in ANY so-called 'Loving god' That would send anyone to Hell!”

…and You’re Right! NEITHER DO I.

Let’s correct one of the biggest lies that has been successfully put out there and that is - (and this is a biggie…)

God doesn’t send ANYONE to Hell. YOU CHOOSE to GO to HELL!

WHAT, You Say?!?

That’s right!! You see, the Bible actually says that God does not desire that any people perish in Hell but that everyone be saved (2 Peter 3:9) and as Jesus said in today’s scripture, Hell was NEVER INTENDED for people, but for evil angels. But here’s the thing - you can choose to be WITH GOD or NOT BE with God. He does not want - nor will he will force anyone - to be with Him for eternity. So if you don’t like the offer of forgiveness and eternal life which is totally free for the asking, NO PROBLEM! It IS YOUR CHOICE.

You can choose to reject salvation and believe what you want to believe about who God is and how you think he really operates, or as today’s scripture says you can be on his LEFT HAND and you can have what you say.

Friend, please listen. This is not some sort of imaginary game. We ALL will leave this earth one day, the question is where, and the answer is simply where you CHOOSE to go, not where God chooses to send you. Will you choose God’s offer of forgiveness and love today?

God Bless Your Day, Jesus Loves You
