The Insanity of Pride

Pride. It’s ugly and detestable any way you cut it. And somehow pride has become a ‘good’ thing to people, even God’s people. According to the Bible, if we have pride, we do NOT have the love of God dwelling in us (I Jn.…

What Are You Looking For?

What are you looking for, really? Some people are looking for a religious security blanket, and will accept something short of real truth that purifies from sin (Isa. 28:20; Isa. 30:1; Eph. 5:25,26; II Tim. 4:3; I Pet. 1…

The question I have for you today is, Can someone have their name written in the “book of life” and still lose out with God; meaning not be saved in the end? The answer is very short, but first let’s consider how a perso…
