Matthew 13:12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

Ever wonder why people in hell will not repent to be saved? The love of God is a gift given to us by the Holy Spirit. His law is written on the hearts of mankind. Any good in anyone, believer or not is from Him. So on the day of judgement that which He has given to the lost will be taken away from them.

Their morality, their love for others, the rags of self-righteousness will all be taken. They will be left as they truly are apart from the goodness of God that He put in them that they might seek Him. That which they seem to have now will be taken away. And we will see them as they truly are.

There has been a lot of changes to the Christianity 101 course and it continues to be updated. Most of what is being done is proofreading and adding extra information. But some pages will be split into multiple pages since they deal with multiple subjects. But the work keeps pushing forward. Just thought someone out there might like an update.

God is love. It's just 3 words but it can tell us a lot. It tells us the world doesn't know love. It has it's own version of it. It shares some of the same values. But the love the world apart from God knows is not love. It's a dim reflection.

So when you tell them the value of the love shared between God and His people is higher than the value of the comfort of those that choose hell on their own accord they can't comprehend it. They have only heard of such a love. But if they get a taste of it...

Be a brighter reflection of the love of God today than what they already have.

Do I bring you gold
Do I bring you myrrh
Do I bring you Frankincense
I want to be sure

What do you bring a king
On the day of his birth
How do you show Him
His value and worth

Nothing of earth
No value in dirt
No jewels of all sorts
None of my work

So I bring Him my heart
Such as it is
He can clean it and make
It totally His

Merry Christmas. No matter what day you believe Jesus was born it's something to celebrate.

I will be updating the end time studies very soon. This will include a thorough timeline including some of the lesser known prophecies.

Does God Punish The Innocent Instead Of The Guilty » There are those who make the mistake of believing God punishes people for the sins of others. Sadly, this false doctrine has been around since before Jesus came. Ezekiel 18:19 19 Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful andRead Mo...

The ark of the covenant once held 3 items. By the time it was placed in Solomon's temple only the law remained. Eventually that too was lost with the ark itself.

Little by little the presence of God was lost. The miracle's, the provision, the law with the seat of mercy. But in Revelation it is seen again. The ark being restored to its people.

Don't lose hope when you see the presence of God being lost in the world around you. Because it is in the Kingdom of Heaven which is also in you if you are in Jesus. And one day soon the presence of God will shine like the sun in the city of our God.

It is clear that the day of the Lord draws closer. As the day of Noah the earth was filled with violence. It wasn't an issue of people owning weapons. It wasn't an issue of politics. It was in the heart of man to do evil. Today we see the same hearts in people. Normal people you just randomly pass by. Family members. Strangers with evil and violence in their hearts. The Lord comes soon. Don't be afraid of what men may do.

To whom much is given much will be required. If you are a Christian you have been given eternal life and the word of God. How much then is required of you?

"I just want to make it through those pearly gates." What if I told you that's the wrong attitude? In the parable of the talents the servant which did nothing with what he was given was cast out.

That servant came to his lord and said, "I made it! I didn't do anything with what you gave me but at least I am still here!" His lord said you knew I expected more yet didn't care enough to obey me. You didn't even try. If nothing else you could have deposited it into the bank and let them do the work to increase it. Do you really even know me?

He said, "If you knew that I was a hard man and reaped where I didn't sow why do you think I would be happy with you bringing me nothing? You don't really know me. Depart from me for I never knew you."

This is belief without works. I believe the Bible, but I don't care enough to pick it up and read it. I believe God is good, but I don't want to spend time with Him. I believe He will save me, but I don't care enough to offer Him my gratitude.

This is what it looks like to be like that servant.

Jesus said not everyone that says Lord Lord to me will enter heaven. He said I was hungry and you didn't feed me. I was sick and you didn't visit me. I was naked and you didn't clothe me.

Then they said "When did we see you hungry and sick? When did we see you without clothes?" He said, "Insomuch as you have not done it to the least of my brothers you have not done it to me."

But to the others He said "I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was naked and you gave me clothes."

What do you have to give? What have you been given? What will Jesus say to you? I want to hear more than well done, you made it. I want to hear well done good and faithful servant.

I want Him to say "I was hungry for the word of God and you fed it to me. I was sick in sin and death and you came to me sharing the gospel. I was in the dark and you shined a light for me."

And you know what I'll say? I'll say I have only done that which was required of me. I just used what you gave me. I cared enough to seek you out in my life.

In that parable there were two other servants. Each one was given according to his ability. Some more, some less. God has given you according to your ability as well.

You may not be able to preach the gospel on the street corner. You may get tired reading the Bible and fall asleep every time you open it. You may not be the best Christian. But if you know Him you are going to love Him.

If you know Him you are going to act on it. You may not have much and be afraid to share the gospel, but you can encourage others to do so. You may not know the Bible forward and backwards or even be able to read it daily, but you can give someone else a Bible.

You may have very little by way of faith or ability. But you have something. Don't be satisfied with belief without action. Don't be satisfied with saying Lord Lord. But be content with the faith you have, and use it somehow.

Use it not to gain praise or reward. Use it not to benefit you. Use it because it is in your power to do so. Freely you have been given, freely give.
