salvation

The prodigal son represents all of us. We go off to live our lives the way that our sinful hearts desire, but when we __ome to our senses_ by the illuminating work of God__ Holy Spirit, we can return to God. God and his __ervants_ (i.e. the angels) will rejoice when you repent. He__ happy to wrap His arms around you! He is overjoyed! He rejoices, and the angels rejoice with Him!

God chose to deliberately venture into and intentionally occupy depths far below and infinitely beyond that which any human has ever descended, and then to raise Himself back up to glory from those horridly dark places. And I pray that we never miss the fact that Christmas is God__ invitation for us to join Him in the rising.

If your salvation was dependent on your ability to read and understand scripture, Jesus would have been an author.

Remember Jesus of Nazareth, staggering on broken feet out of the tomb toward the Resurrection, bearing on his body the proud insignia of the defeat which is victory, the magnificent defeat of the human soul at the hands of God.

The sinners to whom Jesus directed His messianic ministry were not those who skipped morning devotions or Sunday church. His ministry was to those whom society considered real sinners. They had done nothing to merit salvation. Yet they opened themselves to the gift that was offered them. On the other hand, the self-righteous placed their trust in the works of the Law and closed their hearts to the message of grace.

There is not one harsher, more sure-fire way to fail than that of the man who tries to be like Jesus without submitting to Jesus.

If Jesus was willing to be beaten and tortured to gain the salvation of mankind, the least we can do is tell them about it.

God is willing! God will save! God will rescue! God will restore! God will revive! God will empower! God willing and He will do it!

When you are close to Christ, you are enclosed in liberty. You can never be intimidated by man if you are intimate with Christ.

They may call you "Stupid" because of what you've done in the past. Hey, you are going to be "Prominent" because of what the Lord has done. The stupid "S" in Saul was exchange to become the Prominent "P" in Paul... and you ask why? It's because of what the Lord has done, Give thanks!

Conquerors fight their own battles. You are more than a conqueror, that's why the battle was fought on your behalf by Christ. However, it does not mean you should stay idle... Dress up and go to work!

When you are DOWN for satan, you'll be LOADED with sin... and you'll DOWNLOAD failure! You and I can't be part of that mess!

Money is a necessity, but not the determinant of a successful life. It is there to secure you, but not to save you! It is there to support you, but not to sanctify you!

No matter how bad you feel, God never sees you as a hopeless person. He may see you as a sinner who needs to be re-washed to get back to his old vision for His purpose, but He will never see you as a hopeless being.

Dare to make it to heaven and in doing so, carry many people along! Be a soul winner!

Honour comes and goes, influence comes and stays, but none of them safeguards us against danger than the mentor of true leadership; Jesus Christ!

To know God, you must appreciate the salvaging will of His son. Through Christ, we become true leaders worthy of rewards!

Your later may be late. Never postpone your salvation HOURS to tomorrow. If it's not now, it may be never. The days are not OURS!
