A Father’s Love

Leave a comment
fathers love
“O Lord you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are the work of your hands.” (Isaiah 64:8)
The love of God is unfathomable. It is beyond measure. It is endless. I found this video very inspirational. I have viewed it many times and I won’t be disappointed to view it  again and again. I’m posting it for you to experience the love of God. I pray that as you watch this video, you will encounter God in a very special way.
God is no respecter of people. He loves us unconditionally no matter who we are: a husband, a wife, a farmer, a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, an atheist, a politician, or an ordinary people. I believe that every person is special in the eyes of God for after all, He created man in His image. His masterpiece.

When Your Pastor is a Homeless Man Sitting at the Doorsteps of your Church on a Sunday Service

Leave a comment


You were about to enter your Church on a typical Sunday morning. You noticed a homeless man sitting on your church’s doorsteps. What would you do? Would you simply walk straight inside your Church and pretend that you didn’t see the homeless man? Would you walk to this homeless man and make a conversation with him? Would you offer him a food or drink? Would you go and speak to him and if you could pray for him? Would you invite him to go inside your Church?

This what Pastor James exactly did to test his flocks on how they would react to the situation. He dressed up as a homeless man to the surprise of the congregation when he entered to do his Sunday preaching. Watch this interesting video and find out how his flocks respond when they saw him as a homeless man in front of their church.

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

Matthew 25: 31-44 New King James Version
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the [c]holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

What Happens When a Zealous Young Mormon Missionary Micah Wilder Tried to Convert a Pastor?

Leave a comment

From a very religious man into a trophy of His grace!


This is the testimony of Micah Wilder. A mormon from the Latter Day Saints Church. He was on his two-year Mormon mission trip when he encountered a pastor that he is trying to convert to his LDS Church. Micah narrated: “When I was 19 as you can see that I went into the Missionary Training Center in Provo Utah and went on my two-year mission trip and I actually got sent to Orlando, Florida and what you may or may not notice that Orlando is a very evangelical in Bible based area and I didn’t understand this at the time so I was a little naive as a young Mormon missionary but I was convinced that I was just going to get to Orlando and convert everybody that I saw and be the greatest mission or ever and so I got there and I was being very zealous and trying to convert people into my faith and riding my bicycle and knocking on doors and I’ve been there for a few months and I got a little you know what you might say overzealous in my attempt to convert others because I actually attempted to convert a Baptist minister in his whole congregation to the Mormon Church which I was unsuccessful in by the way but it did open an opportunity for God to begin an amazing work in my life.”
Watch his powerful testimony below how Micah ultimately left the Church of Latter-day Saints and accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. His story did not end there. He is also on another mission!!! It will be worth your time watching this and make sure you SHARE this page to your friends and families especially if they Mormon or they belong to the Church of the Latter Day Saints.

Francis Chan Putting Eternity in Perspective

Leave a comment

Today, I came across this short clip of Pastor Francis Chan preaching about our current life here on Earth and what we expect in eternity. Francis Chan is an American preacher and he is former teaching pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, California, a church he and his wife started in 1994. He is also the Founder and Chancellor of Eternity Bible College. If you a book lover, he is the famous author of Crazy Love. This is a very interesting talk because it speaks to reality whether you are a believer or unbeliever. If we truly believe that the Bible is true, Francis Chan’s message challenges us where to focus our priorities here on Earth, while we are still alive. Shall we chase the things of this world or shall we invest in heavenly stuffs? The Bible has these verses that can expound this message. Matthew 6:19-24 says: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Francis Chan Putting Eternity in Perspective

Pressing Toward the Goal

Philippians 3:12-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
“Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have [b]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Francis Chan Putting Eternity in Perspective (Transcript)

If you want to read the transcript of the clip above, here it is:

Imagine this rope okay pretend this rope just goes on forever okay just imagination pretend it goes around the world few times it doesn’t it ends at the rock but let’s just imagine this thing goes on forever now imagine that this rope is a timeline of your existence you just exist forever you see this red part this would represent your time on earth you’ve got a few short years here on earth and then you’ve got all of eternity somewhere else this is this is your existence and what blows me away is some of you all you think about is this red part it’s all you think about you’re consumed with this you go oh man I can’t wait till here you know
I’m gonna work hard I’m gonna save save save so I can really enjoy this part right here and you’re consumed with that and you’re thinking oh man I’m gonna get to travel am I gonna eat well might do this during this part and I’m like are you kidding me what about this what about this what about what about all this stuff that says it’s crazy me cuz because the Bible teaches that what I do during this little red part determines how I’m going to exist for millions and millions and millions of years forever and and so why would I spend this little red part trying to make myself as comfortable as possible enjoying myself as much as I can

Paul says look I’m gonna live my life for this mission I’m gonna spend my life invest my life for this moment when I cross that finish line say I’m gonna forget about all this stuff I could enjoy and I’m not gonna look around I’m gonna be like a runner just looking at that moment when I face God because when I face him then I don’t get this chance over again we get one chance at this life on earth and it can end at any second for any of us we’ve got one chance at this and then comes eternity and I’m not gonna be fooled I’m not gonna spend my life down here see people look at some of my decisions go all your so stupid because that’s gonna really affect this I’m gonna know you’re stupid cuz it’s gonna affect all it is man, I’m serious I look I look at the way people live, and I go wow that is so crazy you are so crazy you’re gonna you’re gonna do that right now just to enjoy right now not even knowing if you have tomorrow and you think that’s smart and that I am done it doesn’t make any sense.

Paul goes I’m not gonna look around at all this stuff and it’s tempting it’s tempting to all of it that’s what I’m saying down here it’s crazy because everyone lives that way everyone lives for the red part no one’s thinking about the millions of years afterwards it’s it’s just a crazy deception that we can’t get out of our minds and Paul goes I’m not doing that because I keep my eyes on that I keep my eyes on that finish line and I’m gonna forget what’s behind me I’m not looking around I’m just gonna I’m straining because I’m straining for it I’m like stretching forward for that mark I’m gonna pass this thing I’m gonna live this out and I’m gonna face him I’m gonna come before the judges and he’s gonna hand me that trophy he was I’m gonna get and I haven’t gotten there yet he goes but I’ll you better believe I’m using every muscle exerting every bit about me because I’m gonna pass that line well.
