Imagine that you could walk into the Oval Office at any time unannounced to have an audience with the President, or to the King at Buckingham Palace, or speak at the podium to the UN!?! Wouldn’t that be ridiculous? In this world it would, But In The Court Of Heaven - NO!…and today’s scripture verse tells us why.

Our Heavenly Father has an 'Open Door' policy! Just like your children can come up to your lap anytime and say “Daddy!” we also can come to the throne of God any time we want.

You don’t have to make an appointment, be at a certain 'level of spirituality or holiness', rank, level, or title before God because He is always welcome to you at any day, time, or moment. All you need do is approach.

Too many believers think that they have to act like Dorothy in the Wizard of OZ pounding at the gates to the kingdom in order to have an audience with the Most High, but if you think about it, this is ridiculous for the following reason.

The Bible says that the heavenly City of Jerusalem is fifteen hundred miles square and God’s temple is directly in the middle of it, so pounding at the gates (which are already open anyway) doesn’t make any spiritual sense because those gates are MILES away from the throne.

If you want your prayers to be heard, then Go Boldly To God’s Throne, Christian! Let your prayers and petitions be known, asking both in FAITH and according to HIS WILL and He will hear you!

His eye may be on the sparrow, but he is always watching and listening to YOU up close and personal.

Friend, boldly go before the throne because He Is Waiting To Hear You THERE.

A sea captain was once asked what would it take to sink his mighty ship, and he replied, “Just One Tiny HOLE.”

So as one point making one hole will doom even the most perfect ship to the bottom, as today’s verse also says 'one point' failing against the 'whole law,' will mark you as guilty — and that one small hole will also sink you too.

You see, just following the Ten Commandments or the 'Golden Rule' were never intended to be the path to salvation. Instead, they are a MIRROR to how much we all need a savior to erase the 'holes' of sin in our lives. This is what Christ does for us when we step out of the ship of GOOD WORKS and into the boat of GOD FAITH.

Friend, your good works cannot and will not save you. Only Christ can wipe out all the holes of sin in your life.

Will you choose to remain in the ship of GOOD WORKS, or step into the lifeboat of GOD FAITH?

That choice, as always, is yours.

Today there is tremendous turmoil and uncertainty in the world!

Instability in foreign countries, threat of war, terrorism, growing inflation, political upheavals, epidemics, rising energy costs, inflation — and a host of other things. Strangely but predictably the response by many is to 'prep' by stocking up on items considered as vital for meeting the coming crisis like silver and gold (or brass and lead) and the ubiquitous toilet paper, canned goods and bottled water — yet none of these will save you in this biggest of all events to come.

You see, despite the seemingly unsolvable events of the day, Jesus Christ IS coming back to deliver those that are His own and bring true peace and justice to the world.

If you have not yet sought Christ to save you from what is coming, the step to do so is to acknowledge that you are a sinner, and sincerely ask God to forgive you. Then place your trust (and your green check mark) on that which will truly prepare you for what is to come.

Friend, his promise of giving each one eternal safety is free for the asking. All you have to do is accept it.

Are you prepping for the return of Christ, or seeking your own 'prep path' to safety in a sinking world?

When reading the entire passage of today’s scripture of the “The Parable of the Talents” God is The Master portrayed as a businessman who delegates instructions to his stewards promising rewards in proportion to their faithfulness and productivity, but also giving a stern warning of punishment for those that ignore his instructions. The master would not have entrusted his possessions to the stewards if he didn’t trust them, which follows suit that God gives people an opportunity to partner with them and receive a reward for those that are faithful.

A major lesson in this allegory is that 'The 'Master' WILL RETURN and when he does for those that are faithful he will say, “Well done thou good and faithful servant. Because you were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things.” Like those servants, God sees us as partners in his enterprise to do his will, but as the third servant did nothing, even insulting the master as being selfish and greedy, his 'reward' - and those of that ilk - will be banishment from God and His Kingdom.

Friend, for those that are diligent and faithful we are more than just 'stewards' but more so are “heirs also, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ(!)” (Romans 8:17). This parable illuminates this reality for us that God wants us to multiply the gifts He gives us, and to partner with him to enlarge His Kingdom here on earth.

What has God given you and called you to do today?

Before you make a judgement by looking solely at the title of this message and the related picture, let’s get one thing clear. You really need to read the entire message, because this isn’t about some people automatically being good and others automatically being bad.

The fact is that ALL OF US are sinners, and it is how we RESPOND - and subsequently REPENT - of our sin that determines our standing with God.

While God DOES  'Love Everyone' this doesn’t mean we all automatically have a relationship with God or are automatically accepted into His Kingdom. Why? Because God Is HOLY, and He can only have a truly intimate relationship with those that are also holy before him.

As today’s verse says, God is no respecter of persons. That means that once you step out of your mortal body and cross the vail to the other side and are a pure soul before His throne, who you THINK you are, what ACCOMPLISHMENTS you’ve done, how much MONEY you’ve made, AWARDS & TITLES held and GOOD DEEDS done MEAN NOTHING BEFORE HIS JUDGEMENT SEAT.

What sins we have done in this life is both our issue, curse, and price we will have to pay UNLESS you abandon your sinful ways, confess your sinfulness to God, earnestly repent, and start living a life that is “good, and acceptable, and perfect (according to the) will of God.” (Romans 12:2)

Friend, whatever intersection you are standing at today doesn’t automatically SAVE you or CONDEMN you. Only what is done for Christ will last. Therefore:

“...walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.” Jeremiah 7:23

It is those that walk down God’s Street that He TRULY LOVES.

There’s an old saying that 'There Are No Atheists In Foxholes' - but there are two other places where there are also no atheists:

● In Heaven -and- ● In Hell

For some reading this, this declaration might be laughable – and maybe offensive, and if that’s how you feel, let’s be clear:

While in “The HERE” you Have Every Right To Believe (or not believe) ANYTHING You Want, however in “The Hereafter” the recognition to Christ of 1 John 3:11 will either be said with GREAT JOY or GREAT REGRET.

Friend, in the Hereafter, what experience do you believe you will have?

We see these signs all the time; “Jesus Saves”

But Saves What?!?

Is Jesus saving money at Costco? Helping to save the planet? Only buying things on sale? So what exactly is he 'saving?'

Admittedly, at face value, this terse message without any context makes no sense whatsoever. In fact for most people it would appear silly and perhaps even laughable and easily passed off as forgettable and nonsensical. If that’s how you feel about it, I totally get. Without any context whatsoever it doesn’t make any sense. However, this is where Satan’s word to Eve in the Garden of Eden becomes vitally important.

You see, if you’re like a lot of people, death and dying are not on your mind, and I’d be willing to say that for today that’s 100% true. In that sense, many reading this are no different than a study made in a class of kindergarteners who were asked if they were going to die… and none of them raised their hands!

The first lie in history was that “Ye shall not surely die.” when in fact that IS a LIE. Your mortal body WILL die — and this is where the JESUS SAVES part comes in.

The Bible says that Christ came to give people eternal life and to save all that believe in their heart and confess boldly that He is LORD and GOD. For all those that believe this simple message of JESUS SAVES will be the only ones that will not “Surely Die.”

Jesus — The Christ, The Redeemer and Saviour of the World — came to save YOU from the certain mortal death that you CAN NOW see coming, but more importantly from a fate that you may NOT see coming, and that is the second death of your soul for eternity.

Friend, this sign of JESUS SAVES is the most important sign you will see today.

How you respond to this sign is entirely up to you.
