This may the most important message you are your loved ones will ever read. It can shed some light on what has been ignored in our churches for a long time. Many in our Churches today are in this condition and they must be told the truth. Please read it carefully and thoughtfully. Here is a simple test to allow you to know if you might be one as well. First, you or they claim to be a Christian, over 85% of us do; but where is the fruit? If this were really true would millions of babies be crying out from the grave? Would morality be at a crises point in our nation? Two, you enjoy attending services, when you go. You may or may not be generous with your wealth. You probably do not tithe a tenth of your income to the Church where you attend. Most importantly, you do not have a real hunger to read and study God’s Word, the Holy Bible. Now don’t get excited, this is a wonderful place to be, but, you just can’t stay here. A day is coming when you must choose Jesus over everything else. I pray that this is that special day for you!

CHRISTIANITY’S THREE CONDITIONS Capt. Ben Marler The first condition of a Christian is “SAFE” or "saved". This usually occurs when we are very young. In some liturgical Churches infants are even baptized in water with out their consent. God is faithful to hear the words that promised to guide and protect the child as it grows and matures by the parents and witnesses. This is truly wonderful because God is so
faithful
to watch over them. It must be pointed out here that they are safe
until
they can hear the Gospel and make a decision on their own to surrender
their lives to the Lordship of Jesus and become born again of His
Spirit. It can also occur for anyone who is lost when we pray for their
salvation. God
desires that all will repent and be saved.
Jesus said you will receive Power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. In another place St. Paul tells us, “know you not you are the temple of the Holy Spirit…?” In my experience I have found out this is
an additional blessing. Do you remember the Disciples were saved
when Jesus appeared where they were hiding after His resurrection?
When they believed, Jesus exhaled His Spirit I am so grateful that Thomas wasn’t there. He, like many modern believers, doubted. He said, “unless I put my fingers into the holes in His hands and my hand in His side I won’t believe.” Did you know his punishment
was to stay in his “safe” condition for eight days in the company of
his brothers who were rejoicing in constant Joy? They did not
receive the second blessing until Pentecost or fifty days later. If you desire to know more about this Jesus Christ who loves you, and you want to ask Him into your heart, receiving His Saving Grace please click on this Salvation Prayer |
Go back to Questions II
On a particular day you
came under conviction that you were a sinner and that your sins had
placed you in great jeopardy. You come to realize this when you
listened to the message of the Cross. The fact that Jesus hung
there for six hours upon cruel iron nails driven into his hands and feet
for you while His precious blood dripped to the ground was more than you
could handle. You also understood He had received a horrible
beating with a Roman scourge that took bits of flesh each time it fell
upon Him. You could see in your mind’s eye the terrible crown of
thorns that had been beaten into His scalp. As you looked further
you could see that parts of His beard had been ripped from His face.
There were also bruises there from the many blows from the fist of His
torturers. Then the Holy Spirit allowed you to understand the
rejection He felt when many of His friends and followers deserted Him.
