The selfless life, is the sacrificial life. Putting yourself under the Cross, and dying to self, involves every aspect of our lives.
Of special note is how this applies to the Christian marriage. The happiest marriages reflect Christ’s love for His church.
I love the hymn “Living for Jesus.” This verse from 1 John, states that ***we live through him***
Living through Him is a manifestation of our salvation. We reflect Him outwards, to a lost and dying world. At all times, we need to realize that those outside will judge the entire Body of Christ and His Word, by how one Christian acts and speaks. Sobering thought…

How I long for that day!
Now is the time. Repent and accept the free gift of Salvation through faith in Christ Jesus!

Having just celebrated Easter, the thought that hatred for Jesus Christ is what put Him on the cross at Calvary is foremost in my mind. Of course, it was the sin of humanity that brought Jesus to that grotesque implement of torture as the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. God sent His Only […]
The Jesus Haters 2026
When my old blogging partner destroyed this blog, due to severe TDS, I had thought it was gone forever.
Until years later, my daughter was able to restore this blog! In its heyday, we had over 10,000 followers, and we (blogging partner and I) easily spent several hours every single day, working on it. Now, I struggle to give it that kind of attention again. When he destroyed it, I lost hope in the blog.
This feeling is what many Christians have, when their lives seem to be in the pit of despair. They lose hope in believing, because their hearts are focused on this world, instead of our future in glory with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The peace in believing!
We are all lost without Him. From top to bottom, billionaire to homeless…completely lost.
It is sometimes difficult to understand how anyone, once given the Gospel, can reject it. We can find the answer, by going back to the very beginning…the Garden of Eden. What exactly happened there, was Adam choosing his wife over God. He loved Eve more than he loved God. Which in reality, was self-love.
That is what happens with all who reject the Gospel. They love themselves and their sin. They have no desire to be freed from that sin. So tragic, but I see it all the time.
If we understand that His Spirit lives within us, we will want to starve our natural man, and feed the new born one.
Here is a fact. We must call upon Him in TRUTH! If we are completely honest with the Lord, He is near us. Adam attempted to deceive the Lord, when he tried to hide from Him. The Lord knows ALL things, and nothing can be hidden from Him. If we want real closeness with the LORD, we must be truthful with ourselves, others, and the Lord Himself most of all.
We cannot save ourselves.
There is nothing better we can do, than praise Him continually, in all circumstances.
He is the only Truth…
Many prophetically attuned believers, such as those who take notice of this column and of posts on terryjamesprophecyline.com, as well as of other Christ-centered, Bible prophecy platforms, pay attention to the nearness of Christ’s call to the Church. Vast billions of people on earth, however, go down that broad way of this brief life without a thought […]
“Well done!”
Romans 9:19-21 KJV [19] Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? [20] Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
