Pathway to Christ

Are you saved? “I’m Catholic!” When I hear statements like this it triggers so many other questions about one’s salvation. Either you are saved or you’re not saved. And stating that you are a particular religion does not declare your walk in Christ. There are so many things I find wrong in religion. And so many things we state incorrectly out of habit. For instance, the statement “Praise the Lord!” is not a greeting, it’s an action that is done for God. People will answer their phone, “Praise the Lord!” Now, what would happen if people actually did? You would have to sit there and wait until they were finished giving God praise. I learned some time ago that the response to “praise the Lord” is “Hallelujah” but let’s not go off into a different path, we would here awhile just addressing how we do things out of religious habits. We can look at every denomination of Christianity and say, “Not ALL of them are saved” but when we examine the Roman Catholic Church and the crucial p...

Why should I Trust You? How often have you heard the phrase, “I can trust them as far as I can throw them?” You may have said it yourself. Or my favorite is, “I will trust you until you prove me wrong.” How do we trust anyone we do not know? In all of my studies I have learned that this is the secret of learning how to trust God.

And what they do certainly do not line up with what they say. This is why it is difficult to trust many people. It’s a fact the majority of people today will believe a lie over facts. Now, I am ...

No Weapon! One of my favorite all time songs is “No Weapon” song by one of my all time favorite artists, Fred Hammonds. The lyrics simple says:  No weapon formed against me shall prosper, it won't work  God will do what He said He would do  He will stand by His word  And He will come through  God will do what He said He would do  He will stand by His word  And He will come through  No weapon formed against me shall prosper, it won't work  God will do what He said He would do   He's not a man that He should lie  He will come through  God will do what He said He would do  He will stand by His word  He will come through  (Bridge)  Oh I won't be afraid of the arrows by day  From the hand of my enemy  I can stand my ground with the Lord on my side  For the snares they have set will not succeed No weapon formed against me shall prosper, it won'...
