  1. 59

    A Look at John 3:16

    The verse begins with God. God is the greatest word in every human tongue. The fool hath said in his heart there is no God. No love can be compared to the love of God.

  2. 58

    The Consolation in Christ

    Consolation is to give rest by relieving from stress and fear. There is a reason for your soul to be in distress if you are lost and on your way to hell. You need consolation if you are lost. There is no consolation in the world. All the world is guilty before God.

  3. 57

    Surely There is an End

    We are told not to envy sinners in our hearts. We are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. There is an end to sin and wickedness.

  4. 56

    Wise Men Always Seek Christ

    A wise man always will seek Christ for he knows he is in need of a savior. The wages of sin is death. A wise man does not want to go to hell. He is wise in that he will search for a savior.

  5. 55

    Search The Scriptures

    The cause of error in men and women is in not knowing the scriptures and the power of God. We must follow the instructions of Christ. It is every person's responsibility to search the scriptures.

  6. 54

    God Heareth Not a Sinner

    It is not unusual to meet people who feel that God has heard them because they prayed when they had a need and the need was met. Further, there are people who feel God is with them because of the material things which they have. However, these people are only kidding themselves and are on their way to hell. If there has never been a time when you have repented of sin and received Christ, you are on your way to hell. The devil can give you good gifts if you will bow down and worship him.

  7. 53

    What Lies Beyond the Gates of Death

    God asked Job a question he could not answer; "what lies beyond the gates of death?" Beyond the gates of death, the gates are open to responsibility, and closed to opportunity. You will be responsible for every idle word spoken. There will be no more opportunity to be saved. If you are going to be saved, you must do it now.

  8. 52

    The Man Who Kissed the Door to Heaven and Went to Hell

    Jesus is the door which leads to heaven. Like Judas, many are kissing around the door to heaven, but they will die and go to hell. Being good and nice will not save you. A person can know who Jesus is and how to be saved, but they can still die and go to hell.

  9. 51

    Judgment to Come

    Man will reap what he has sown. Run in sin now and you will pay for it in hell later. God sits upon the throne and is the judge of all.

  10. 50

    Your Next Step Could Be Hell

    You and I have no assurance of life. You are a fool if you are not prepared for the step of death. If you die unprepared and you are not saved, your next step will be hell.

  11. 49

    Physicians of No Value

    Doctor Baptism and a host of other doctors and physicians are of no value because they offer erroneous solutions for salvation. Only by faith in the blood of Christ is salvation found.

  12. 48

    Ye Shall Die In Your Sins

    If you do not desire to be saved, Christ will leave you alone and go His way. If you do not put your faith in Christ's blood, you will die and go to hell for there is none other name whereby we must be saved.

  13. 47

    Ye Think Ye Have Eternal Life

    Many today will think themselves into hell; for it is not about what you think will save, but what the scriptures say. Salvation is not a feeling but a fact.

  14. 46

    The God of Love and of Wrath

    A truly born-again child of God can have the balance of love and wrath. There are two sides to God: He is the God of love and the God of wrath. Preaching cannot be one-sided to reflect just the love of God. It must also present the wrath of God and hatred for sin.

  15. 45

    Tares Among the Wheat

    The tares are the children of the devil and the wheat are Christians. Tares are found among the wheat. This is a mixed condition and has always been so.

  16. 44

    The Conversation of The Lost

    Conversation is not only talk, but it also means your life and manners. Many are lost and have not received Christ. The conversation of the lost centers around themselves. They love to focus the center of the conversation upon themselves and speak of this world's goods.

  17. 43

    Judgment Calls, Mercy Answers

    The judgment of God awaits those who participate in sin and have rejected Christ. Woe unto the wicked for they shall receive the reward of their hands.

  18. 42

    Almost Persuaded

    Paul went about persecuting Christians thinking he was doing the right thing. Paul was giving his testimony before King Agrippa as to how he received forgiveness of sin and how he has preached the gospel.

  19. 41

    Remember Lot's Wife

    Lot's wife perished being the wife of a righteous man; proving that family ties have nothing to do with salvation. She was warned of the danger but yet she perished.

  20. 40

    The Light Rejected by Darkness

    Christ is the Light of the world. The light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. Darkness is the state of man but the Light has invaded. Christ shines by the sacrifice of Himself. The Light of the cross calls sinners out of darkness.

  21. 39

    Where Shall the Ungodly and the Sinner Appear

    God will judge His Christians here on this earth. If God begins with those who live for Him, where shall the ungodly be? The righteous are scarcely saved.

  22. 38

    A Serious Look

    As Abraham looked towards Sodom, he saw in the ruins God's judgment and hatred of sin. The Lord will surely punish sin. The cry of sin from Sodom brought God from heaven in judgment. The cry of our need brought Jesus from heaven to bring salvation.

  23. 37

    Space to Repent

    God gives you, as a lost sinner, space to repent. Thank God for the time He gives. He is not willing that any should perish. The longsuffering of our Lord is salvation. God's goodness is calling you to get saved.

  24. 36

    Going to Hell Like a Bullet

    The lost are going to hell and faster than they realize. The wicked are swift to commit sin. They have no time for salvation. Going to hell like a bullet.

  25. 35

    Wilt Thou be Made Whole

    If you are listening to the preaching of the gospel, you are in the right place. People get saved quicker in a church where the blood is preached. The longer you stay in your sins, the more sure it is that you will die in your sins.

  26. 34

    In the Valley of Decision

    Many stand between two opinions.  To be saved, you must make a decision.  You must decide to be saved and move from the valley of decision.  If you die in the valley, you will go to hell.  

  27. 33

    Casting Down Imaginations

    Imagination is to form something that is not naturally occurring to the senses. It is to assume, suppose, or to guess. Man has allowed his imagination to damn his soul to hell. They took what they thought instead of what God said. God knows more than you do. Only a fool would take what he thinks above the Word of God.

  28. 32

    At Midnight

    At midnight, think of darkness and confusion. The problem is that there is a world comfortable in sin. Jesus will come while the world is in turmoil. He will come while you are in the midnight of your sins.

  29. 31

    In Due Time

    At a time required by circumstances, the wicked shall fall. They are always exposed to destruction. The wicked could slip at any time and go to hell. They go to hell because of their own sin and their rejection of the blood of Christ.

  30. 30

    The Two Greatest Opportunities

    Do you care that one day you will die and go to hell if you do not get saved? Felix had a motive for the love of money and also a thrill for hearing Paul speak. Paul used the opportunity to speak and he preached the gospel and preached it straight. He reasoned of the righteousness of God, reproved of sin, and warned of the judgement to come.

  31. 29

    The Pulling Down of Strongholds

    There is a warfare against the strongholds of Satan. There is a stronghold so great that it brought about the fall of man; and ever since, men and women cannot cease from sin. The Bible declares all have sinned. The stronghold is so great that not only could man not cease from sin but also cannot please God.

  32. 28

    But As Many

    The road to hell is crowded. Led by Satan and his demons, multitudes are headed to hell. Lost sinners have a demon that will take them straight to hell. There are many deceivers and antichrists in this world. Not everyone who says they are saved are saved nor everyone who says Lord Lord.

  33. 27

    When God Turns His Back

    God gave His back to the smitters. This speaks of the crucifixion where Christ poured out His blood for us. Yet, many scorn Him by not receiving Him as their saviour. This is an insult to God as it was our sins which caused Him to die. If you refuse Christ, you will go to hell. God will also show His back in the day of calamity for those who reject Christ. God owes you nothing and is not obligated to save anyone.

  34. 26

    Why The World Rejected Jesus

    Jesus died for the sins of the world and the world rejected Him. Initially, multitudes followed Him. As long as you speak of the positive things of the ministry of Christ, people will follow. However, when you speak of the work of Christ, salvation, and the wrath of God, people desire not to follow. The world likes positive talk but not a ministry that destroys sin.

  35. 25

    Condemned Already

    Condemnation means to be doomed and damned to hell for eternity. He that believeth on Jesus is not condemned. There is no problem understanding this for an honest person. To believe on Jesus is to rely on His blood as the sacrifice for your sins.

  36. 24

    The Gospel, Take It or Leave It

    Jesus says to repent and believe the gospel. Jesus taught that repentance was necessary. The gospel is to be preached in all the world. The gospel is how that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again according to the scriptures. There is none other name whereby we must be saved - The Lord Jesus Christ.

  37. 23

    Be Sure You Have Missed Hell

    There is a danger of you losing your soul. Losing it where? In hell. God is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? There is no escape from hell.

  38. 22

    He Went Out

    Jesus was troubled that one should betray Him. He knew it was Judas and that he was not saved. Jesus loved Judas to the end. The love Jesus had for him could not change Judas' wicked heart. Satan is ready to take advantage of every opportunity. The devil will take full advantage of you. He is not your friend. Whatever your sin is, the devil will give you more of it.

  39. 21

    The Blood

    The Bible is a book of blood. Stand true to the King James Bible. It is the soul winners Bible. Modern versions do not have much blood in them as they have watered it out. The blood of Jesus means more; not only as life in this world, but eternal life.

  40. 20

    Faith Alone, Faith Plus and Dead faith

    Man has and will always seek to do something in order to obtain salvation. He refuses to accept that salvation is by childlike faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the work of God: That ye believe on Him whom He hath sent. Surely Jesus knows what it takes to be saved.

  41. 19

    Hell Has Only One Door

    Hell is no joke and nothing to laugh at. There is punishment in the flames of hell for eternity. Hell is a place of no escape with only one way in - the door of rejection.

  42. 18

    What Demas Found in Thessalonica

    Demas loved this world and had departed to Thessalonica. In Thessalonica, there were two who knew him. One was Demas- he knew himself. A guilty conscience will track you down. The other was God. God is everywhere and sees all.

  43. 17

    Tomorrow is not Promised, but Death Is

    You may be alive and healthy today and you hope to be here tomorrow. Most people do. This is why they run in sin. Tomorrow is not promised, for one day you will die.

  44. 16

    Judging Yourself Unworthy of Eternal Life

    You must hear the word and be born again in order to miss hell. You get faith when you hear the word. However, some put the word from them. They claim man wrote the word and reject it as God's word. This sin will put you in hell.

  45. 15

    Go, Run, and Perish

    You can go your own way as did Cain. Cain wanted to come to God in his own way as opposed to the way in which God said. Come to God the Bible way or you will burn in hell. God's way is the blood of Christ which was shed for us. It is not good works or baptism.

  46. 14

    What You Think Makes a Difference

    Repentance is a very essential part of the gospel. You come to Christ accepting His blood and the change you desire through repentance is produced. Repentance is that deep sorrow and desire to turn from sin. If you do not deliberately put your faith in the shed blood of Christ, just merely being sorry for your sins will not produce salvation.

  47. 13

    You Should Have Repented Long Before Now

    It bothers the Lord when souls don't repent. Jesus rebuked severely and sharply those cities which repented not. A blood called preacher will preach the blood and the fiery damnation which awaits those who reject that blood.

  48. 12

    Judgment Without Mercy

    You may laugh at sin now, but some day you will stand before God. There is judgment after death. The grave is not the end. You will be judged for your sins and rejection of Christ. You better get saved now.

  49. 11

    The Torments of Hell

    Hell is filled with torments. It is so bad that a lost man became concerned about winning souls. The doomed and damned will scream for eternity in hell. Once you enter hell, you will never get out.

  50. 10

    Tradition

    Many hold as truth the teachings of their parents, grandparents, and relatives. This is a great danger as tradition has put many souls in hell.
