Every man is the slave of his own ambitions and desires. The moment you fall in love with someone or something you become enslaved. The more you love that object or person, the more you become obsessed with it, the more it controls you. It takes over your mind and you can become irrational about. In the end it can totally destroy you. It is for good reason that the commandment says:”Do not covet” The apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.” If we love anything more than Jesus, then we are not worthy of Him and we will not enter His kingdom. Jesus said:”He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me;...

Do not expect to find truth in churches. They proclaim many lies that people like and therefor churches thrive, Salvation is not just a matter of believing in Jesus for salvation as the churches falsely proclaim. It is not a matter of just reciting a special prayer, a “Sinners Prayer” after someone and then confessing that you believe in Jesus. If you have said the “Sinners Prayer” they proclaim you saved and sealed and ready to go to heaven. They proclaim that all your sins have been forgiven, past, present and all the sins that you will commit in future are covered as well. They preach Once Saved Always Saved, meaning that you can go on sinning and living your life for your own pleasure and still go to heaven when you die. The Calvinists believe in preselection. They believe all Calvinists were preselected by God to have eternal life and that they will eventually be saved even if they live a sinful immoral life until they are 8o years old. All churches tell you to join a churc...
The world hates truth. Even most professing Christians hate the truth. Paul wrote to the Galatian believers in Galatians 4:16 ”So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?” People love lies. They just want to hear good things about themselves and their children even if it is all lies. Parents lie to their children, not to hurt their feelings. Preachers lie to their congregation, to make them feel good. They tell them that God loves them endlessly and He will not cast them into hell, even if they keep on sinning. They tell them that they can have salvation and go into heaven by just believing in Jesus, they tell them that they don't need to stop sinning, they must just believe. They tell them that homosexuals and fornicators will go into heaven. People love lies and lying preachers and the lying false media, that is why they perish. That is why most Christians will also end up in hell, because they love lies. In the sight of God there are no white lies. All liars will end ...
There is only one gospel that saves and that is the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the same gospel that was preached by all the apostles, including the apostle Paul. Many suggest that Paul preached a different gospel, but that is not true. Even during his time, there were people who claimed to be followers of Paul which he strongly resisted. He wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:11-17. “For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”13Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. 16Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17For Christ did not send me to b...
Most Christian believers are concerned about what the Bible says, because that is what they have been taught. That is what is real to them. What really matters is what Jesus says, what He said and what He is saying today. Many things are written in the Bible. The Bible is a book of many words but the only words that lead to eternal life are the words of Jesus, the words that He spoke as they were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the Red Letter words, in some Bibles. The only way to have eternal life is to obey Jesus, to do what He commanded and taught. Jesus Christ is the Word of God, not the Bible, as so many wrongly believe. The words of Jesus are harsh and therefor they are rejected by men. At one stage the followers of Jesus were offended at His words, of what He said. “Because of this many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” Simon Peter answered Him...

Faith without works is dead. Many people confess to believe in Jesus but their works are evil. They are sinners. We read in 1 John 2:3 “By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.” “By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.” Christians that sin and live in immorality do not know Jesus because they do not keep His commandments, they do not live according to His words, as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A Christian that refuses to repent and be baptized, as Jesus commanded, does not know nor love Jesus. Jesus said:”If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.“John...
