Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
Quote: “It is more important to be occupied with Jesus than to be occupied for Jesus.” – J Dwight Pentecost. Amen to that! Being occupied with Jesus daily in worship, prayer, Bible reading and study makes being occupied for Jesus a glorious blessing, not a task or some kind of obligation. I’m noticing an increase …

Quote: “The visitation of God comes either in salvation or condemnation; it comes one way or another. Every one of us will experience the visitation of God. God will show up in your life for salvation, now, and forever, or for judgment in the future, and forever.” – John MacArthur. In what way does the …
I asked the Jehovah’s Witness man at my door, “How do you handle guilt?” Clearly taken aback with the question, he replied, “I don’t have any guilt?” I said, “Yes you do. Everyone has guilt; you’re no exception. What do you do with your guilt?” Religious or not, I like to ask people that question; …
“It’s one thing to see the sin in your sin but it’s something else to see the sin in your self-righteousness.” – John MacArthur. “Amen,” is my response to his statement. Unless I see the sin in my self-righteousness I should not expect to be a very effective witness for the Lord Jesus to the unbelieving world. …
“The free offer of the gospel is broad enough to include the worst sinner who believes; the gospel is narrow enough to exclude the most moral, religious unbeliever.” – John MacArthur.

I wonder what happened to those disciples of Jesus who were offended by Him when He told them He was the true bread from heaven, the bread of God, the bread of life, the living bread which came down from heaven John 6:22-71. We know many of them went back and walked with Him no more, …
“How patient God was,” I’ve heard it said, in reference to the wickedness of the antediluvian world. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually Genesis 6:5. Amen, indeed; not only patient, but merciful! We don’t really know the …
A transgender member of the Church of England, who was born and baptized female but now identifying as male, approached the local Reverend seeking to be re-baptized. If the report is true, the Reverend thought it a good idea and acted on it. “We created a service, which was an affirmation of baptismal vows where we could …
Years ago as a Gospel messenger out on the streets of my community I was asked from time to time to give thoughts regarding those claiming to have died and gone to heaven or hell, then came back again. “I’ve just read a book about this woman who had a near death experience; fascinating!” they’d say. “Sounds like heaven …
One of the expressions of Christian-speak disturbing me in this time of increasing evil is: “God loves the sinner, but He hates the sin.” It rolls off the mouth of Christians so easily. When preachers express it they’ll also use the most famous Scripture to back it up: For God so loved the world that He gave His only …
