And we have seen
and do testify
that the Father
sent the Son
to be the Saviour
of the world
(1 John 4:10)
The most important question in your life is "What will you do with JESUS CHRIST?" Your answer to that question both reveals what you truly love and where you will spend eternity.
This site is designed to help you answer that question correctly, as well as to grow in the grace and knowledge of God the Father, and Jesus Christ the Lord.
Here you will find a small but varied offering of topics relative to faith in the Lord Jesus, from salvation messages, to Bible study and devotional helps, to responses to doctrinal challenges. It is our prayer that this site, which should not be a substitute for a church, may be used of God to save and sanctify souls. To His glory, amen!

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation [complete + final sacrifice] for our sins (1 John 4:9, 10).
Are You Saved or Lost?
Right now you are in one of two spiritual conditions, dead or alive, serving in one of two spiritual kingdoms, that of the devil's or that of God's, and headed for one of two entirely different eternal places, God's Heavenly City or the Lake of Fire! Unless you have been saved — “born again” by the Spirit of God — then your sins separate you from God, your Creator and giver of life, and you cannot enter or even enjoy the kingdom of God, a place of “righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost” (Rm. 14:17). That leaves only one other place, a real place which is completely opposite of Heaven but just as eternal, a place of “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Mt. 8:12). You MUST be saved, but as a sinner (and all have sinned), you are completely unable to save yourself on any merit of our own, nor that of any church. The only person that can save you is Jesus Christ, the Son sent by the Father to save sinners (1Tim. 1:15), by His shed blood and righteousness.
It is this Jesus "who did no sin," but "went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil" by the power of the Holy Spirit (1Pet. 2:22; Acts 10:38). Yet after doing everything right, it was the sinless Son of God who took responsibility for all that we have done wrong, paying for all our sins with His own sinless blood in His death on the cross, and was buried. As it is written, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." “Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God" (Is. 53:6; 1Pet. 3:18).
But because Jesus alone was truly righteous, God the Father "raised Him up from the dead, and gave Him glory" (1Pet. 1:21), and appeared to many (1Cor. 15:3-8). It is this Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who now reigns in Heaven as mankind's present Savior and future Judge!
It is because Jesus Christ was "God manifest in the flesh" (cf. 2Tim. 3:16) and paid for your sins and rose again that only He can save you. But now you must respond. You were put on this earth to make one big decision above all the others. What you do with the Lord Jesus Christ - whether you receive Him or reject Him – reveals what you truly love, darkness or light, sin or Him, and determines not only the course of the rest of your present life but also where you will spend ETERNITY! This is the Ultimate Decision which you must make positively ― IF you will yet be saved. By not deciding for Christ, you have already in fact rejected Him!
It is our earnest and sincere prayer that, by the grace of God, you will not reject your Savior but will decide you want Christ over sin and ask the Lord Jesus to save you, and be baptized, and follow Him. Do not play games with your soul and put it off! "Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2). "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation" (Heb. 2:3)? Do not sin away your day of grace, and live and die in your sins and wake up in Hell — to your eternal horror! Instead may you know the life that only Jesus can give, both now and for eternity.
Hear and obey the word of exhortation God graciously gives you. "Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon" (Is. 55:6, 7). Make your peace with God while you can, confessing yourself as a sinner in prayer to Jesus, and asking Him to save you and be your Lord. Then be baptized and follow Him with a Bible preaching church.
Those who truly believe will know both now and forever that they made the right decision, and to be saved and live for God is the only right decision! Though in this world we will face challenges to our faith, look to Him who said, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” (Heb. 13:5). For “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (Jn. 16:33). Praise the LORD!

At present, well over half of the material here is “original” (evident by no other source being given in it), that is, by the grace of God, and permission is granted to copy and distribute such but only for free. As the apostle Paul said, “that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge” (1Cor. 9:18). The Lord will provide for His own workers in the field without us having to charge for or restrict the distribution of the truth and things He has given to us to share. However, I ask that you do not change the content except for formatting purposes or grammatical correction (any personal comments should be put in brackets [ ]). The source, if known, for non-original material is carefully attributed within the document and must be kept that way if any copying is made, which again must not be sold or charged for. Glory be to God.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:16-21, 36).
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power; When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day” (2 Thessalonians 1:8-10).
