Galatians 5:19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy.

Simply put, I ask you to watch this video. If this doesn’t get your attention, I’m not sure anything will. This video is NOT for children. Please use discretion.

In Revelation 20:12-15, John wrote:
“I saw the dead, the great, and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened…the book of life….If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.”
 Why is this important?
 
Jesus said: “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but [...]

I continue to be amazed by God! Tonight, the youth lesson was about Jesus’ power of Salvation & how we should tell our lost friends about Him so they can have eternal life. We sang “By His Wounds” THEN…in big church, we sang “Nothing but the blood of Jesus,” & the pastor reminded us to tell our friends about Jesus. I’m famous for the line: “If it’s repeated in the Bible, it MUST be really important!” Then I must ask, if TWO sermons, by different people are repeated the SAME night in church, ISN’T THAT MESSAGE REALLY IMPORTANT ALSO?

Why is it important to tell others about your faith? Simply put, I believe that John in the book of Revelation says it best:

Revelation 20:12-15

“I saw the dead, the great, and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened…the book of life….

If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.”

We might not be able to describe Who God is, BUT, the best part is we can rely on Him to strengthen us, to love us, and most importantly to SAVE US. We are doomed to a fateful place that we deserve, and it’s not Heaven. However, God loved us so much that He WILLINGLY gave us His son to die a gruesome death that became a beautiful episode that serves to remind us daily that we can have eternal life in Heaven. But at a great price.

John the Baptist was a famous man in his days. Many people thought he was the Messiah. Others thought he might be a prophet. Others didn’t care, they just knew he was very spiritual and they looked up to him as a mentor. In fact, even these men were called “disciples.”

You’ve heard the famous quote from the movie “A Few Good Men” as the colonel was under oath in court:

Kaffee: I want the truth!
Col. Jessep: [shouts] You can’t handle the truth!

The word “loser” has had bad connotations for most of my life. However, now it has become famous with the latest TV show “The Biggest Loser.” Focused on how much weight a person can lose through exercise and diet, the Biggest Loser TV show has made many people famous as they lose 30, 40, and even over 50% of their body weight (up to 160 lbs or more!).

We often hear stories from people concerning the paranormal. We hear of near-death experiences when people describe a room they visit, or a hallway they walk through that, when described, has attributes we may think of Heaven having: a bright light, a peace, a comfort that only comes from beyond this life.
