I was having a conversation with my brother recently. (He made me promise to keep him anonymous so I’m not using his name.)
I told him that as I’m getting older I spend much more time thinking about eternity and life after death.
I also told him that I want him to be in heaven one day and that I can’t stand the thought of spending eternity without him.
His Reply? “I tend not to think about whats ahead. I let whatever happens happen.” (more…)

Will the world be a better place… After I’m gone?
Thinking about the one chance I get, will I use it to make this world a better place? Or will I waste it and fade away into the abyss of history? (more…)

Father God,
We live in a sad and broken world.
But you have given us hope of a new tomorrow. You have promised your people that you will build a Kingdom that never ends.
We may be living through a time of persecution and death but there will be a day when you step down and say “enough!”
You will wipe away our tears, you will be our King and our provider. I look forward to this day with great anticipation!
I am eager for your Millennial Kingdom! I desire the renewing of the heavens and earth so that your people can live in peace – in a sin free and perfect society. You, God, will make this happen in your own time but I am anxious. I cannot wait for the day that your people will live in your presence and see your face.
Let your Kingdom come Lord!
Amen

Evangelism is not confronting “Sinners” and telling them to repent. It’s not coercing someone to recite a prayer so they’ll escape the fires of hell. It’s not even thumping someone over the head with a King James Bible and exorcising their demons.
Evangelism is teaching people about the great news, that Jesus Christ has died (as a worthy sacrifice in the eyes of God) and rose again (as proof that His claims are true) so that all who come to Him – be they hungry, thirsty or weary – will not suffer condemnation and will receive pardon from their sins and eternal life in His glory.
