If you feed a lost person; if you give him something cool to drink; if you put a roof over his head and give him the shirt off your back, but you fail to share the gospel with him; know this. If he dies after you've lovingly served him, having never heard the gospel from your lips, he will be warmed and filled as he faces God's judgment and eternity in hell. Serve people? Yes. … [Read more...]

If you live by the extra-biblical adage, "Live your life in such a way that people ask you why," yet you dress like the world, talk like the world, act like the world, and enjoy the same things that entertain the world; then what do you expect a spiritually dead and blind person to see in you? It won't be Jesus Christ. It will just be you. They won't ask what's different about … [Read more...]

If you are doing something that is extra-biblical, meaning the Bible neither commands nor condemns the activity, you must be extra-careful.

One woman dances in a "gentlemen's club," in a seedy part of town. Another woman is a model and participates in "beauty" pageants on the world's stages. Both disrobe for money. Yet many Christians would say the former needs Christ while, at the same time, they prop up the latter as a Christian role model. Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in that? … [Read more...]

A 17-year-old girl pays a 21-year-old friend to beat her up, hoping the assault would cause her to miscarriage. He is charged with attempt "murder." She is charge with solicitation to commit "murder." Yet women solicit doctors to murder their babies every day. Why is the former a crime and the latter a "choice?" Simple. It's the hypocrisy of a God-hating society and the total … [Read more...]
