Most people that we know will die and go to Hell.  They will die thinking that maybe they have been good enough to go to heaven, or that God will weigh their bad deeds against their good deeds, or that what little they have done just wasn’t all that bad, or they haven’t done anything wrong, or their is no hell, etc.  But the truth is that everybody we know including ourselves will stand in God’s courtroom one day.  And just as in any earthly courtroom, there are certain rules and laws that will be followed.  When you think about it, the Bible is full of  courtroom terminology.  Words like innocent, guilty, advocate, witness, convict, judge, accuser, trial, court, etc.  That is what this message is all about.  I recommend getting copies of this video and sending them to lost loved ones, to confront them with the truth before it is too late.

Let’s face it, there is always something in this world that we are drawn to. It is the nature of our creation, as Paul put, we have been made “subject to vanity”. The question as Christians is how we deal with our worldly appetites, be they lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes or the pride of life. The ‘new’ Christianity says that it’s o.k. to love the world and love God at the same time, God will accept us anyway. Some are even saying that it is acceptable in God’s eyes to be a believer in Christ, and still keep your old religion. But the Bible message is very clear, we cannot love God and the world at the same time. Remember that God is a jealous God. He will not give place to another. A true Christian then has only one option, that is to hate the world and everything in it. No exceptions.

In this message I use graphic illustrations to show that we all know what is worldly and what is Godly. We just need to follow what is right. If you would like a free DVD of this message, just send us a note, and we will get it out to you.

Where have I been you ask?  Right here, I just didn’t feel like blogging anything, and I haven’t preached anything that I thought was worth while.  I have a lot of critics, but I am my biggest one.  God has been dealing with me alot so far this year.  It is good that He is doing that.  I spend less time now distracted by other things, and more time in prayer and Bible study.  Our enemy doesn’t like this and has tried again to move me away from God and my calling in Him.  I preached this message Sunday morning and originally titled it “What the Devil tried to talk you out of.”  God gave me one word to overcome the Devil’s antagonism.  That word is confidence.  Enjoy the message.
