Water of Life
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price. Revelation 22:17

Inherit the Kingdom of God
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you.…

The “Ticket”
A couple of weeks ago, I was searching online for the meaning of a Greek word and ran across a blog with an article saying that it is not necessary to continue believing to be saved. The author said that the Greek word used for “believe” does not mean that, and that only a moment…

Do Not Lie To One Another
I saw a disturbing thing on Pinterest. I rarely look at it, but this pin immediately caught my eye. It said, “What if gays are a test from God to see if Christians will really love one another?” Wow! Yet another tactic from the devil–get people to question whether God is unhappy with them for…
