Satan’s Rebellion and Fall

Image-Fulmine-300px.png-loading for Satan - Rebellion and Fall

Lightning

The question has been asked, “When did Satan fall like lightning from Heaven?” A similar question is “When did Satan’s rebellion occur?” Both questions refer to the same event.

We read in Ecclesiastes that there is nothing new under the sun. What has happened in the past will happen again. Our problem is that we do not remember the past and thus whatever we think is new has already existed in the past. See Ecc 1:9-11. That is in the Word of God and there is no error. Therefore, when we observe the Scripture closely, we see multiple occurrences of events. Continue reading

Predestination?

Glorified

Rom 8:24-25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? (25) But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Before we discuss predestination, let us review the context surrounding it. Have you ever wanted something badly that you could not get for whatever reason. When you did not possess it, Continue reading

To Offend or Not to Offend, That is the Question

This desire to not offend is the Left’s understanding of the Biblical Golden Rule. The Golden Rule works well for those that know how to use it. Unfortunately, atheists, agnostics, and unbelievers do not know how to use it. The Golden Rule comes from the Scriptures and basically states, “Treat others Continue reading

Attributes of God

Sovereign’s Crown

There is one statement that I am hearing often. It goes something like this: “My God is a loving God and He would not judge my sin.” Celebrities make the statement, politicians make it, and ordinary people on the street make it. Yes, God is a loving God. But that is only one of His attributes; let us take a moment to list His other attributes: Continue reading

Accept Jesus as Savior?

Faith/Belief ImageYou won’t find “accept” in the KJV in the context of salvation, but you will find it in more modern versions. It is in the KJV in one verse, Acts 24:3. But it is not about salvation. Neither will you find the words “ask Jesus into your heart.” Continue reading

Children of the Covenant

I call this sermon “Children of the Covenant” to illustrate that we as Christians are covenant people. We, like Israel, are people who have a covenant with God (see Jer. 31:31-34 & Heb. 9:15).

Covenant. We see that word in our current law books. It is an integral part of the Uniform Commercial Code. It is one of the most important aspects of life. So what is a covenant? Is it a contract or an agreement? Continue reading

Will You Be Allowed in Heaven When You Die?

Are You a Good Person

The Good Person Test

Many people believe that as long as they are a good person, they will have access to Heaven. What they usually mean is that they have never committed any serious crimes, they are good citizens, they take care of their families, they work hard with honesty to earn their living, etc. Some think that as long as the good things they do outweigh the bad things they do that will earn them access to Heaven. Some believe that because God is a God of love, that He will allow all people into Heaven. Others believe that all religions ultimately lead to Heaven. Do any of these scenarios sound like you? Do you think you are good enough to get to heaven? Find out for sure. Take the Good Person Test.
