Our Advocate

1 John 2: 1-2:
A. Jesus died for every sin. At times some churches and even some faith based people will make some sins better than others and some sins worse than other sins. However Jesus died for every sinner and to God sin is sin.
B. When we sin all we have to do is go to Jesus. If you have never placed your faith in Jesus the answer when you sin is to go to Jesus. If you are a follower of Jesus who have sinned the answer also is for you to go to Jesus.
C. A few days ago our Jewish friends had the day where they can be forgiven for their sins it is called Yom Kippur , the Day Of Atonement;. However Jewish people every year have to wait for that day to be forgiven for their sins from the past year. The Bible teaches through Jesus Christ we can be forgiven any day and any time of the year.

the Problem and the Answer

Sunday, August 22, 2010


1 John 1:5-10
Vs. 7 It is only the blood of Jesus that can make you spirituality clean after you sin. Jesus gave his blood for every sin. You might say I am not good Jesus will never forgive me and you are kind of right. The Bible tells us no one is good all have fallen short of God’s glory. Jesus died for every sin you have committed or will ever commit. Others of you might be thinking I am better than others because I don’t sin like so and so. Guess what friends sin is sin. Also sin is not just bad behavior it is missing God’s mark which was 100% perfection, and sinless life that only Jesus could live.
And those of you who say you aren’t sinners have committed the sin of telling a lie. Lets look at verse 8 the truth is not in you if you won’t admit you are a sinner. The hardest people to get to admit they are sinners are religious church going people. In Jesus day it was the religious people that nailed Jesus to a cross. However God will not force himself on you or force you to admit you are a sinner. It is like a person who has a drinking problem no one can help them until they are willing to admit they need help and have a problem.
The good news if you will admit you are a sinner is found in verse 9. If we will admit we have sinned God will forgive us.

Church Discipline Which Honors God

Sunday, August 01, 2010
Galatians 6:1-5
Discipline: this is missing in the church world today. Discipline is good for you if you are eight or eighty years old. Today in our world and sadly in the church people can live anyway they want to. We aren't made right with God because of our behavior or does one’s behavior cause one to go to hell. We are saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus. However after a soul is made right with God there are behaviors the Lordship of Christ calls us to and other behaviors we are told not to do.
The purpose of discipline should always be to restore the person.
Now discipline is misused in the church. There are churches who have kicked people out of their church because they didn't like the way their church was going not because of some kind of sin. Church discipline should always be because of behavior which God calls sinful. There is a cult that teaches their group is the only true church the Jehovah's Witnesses. They kick so many people out of every year not because of sin but because those souls have done things that their leadership doesn’t like. Now their discipline goes so far as to keep families apart. Think about this if you are told you belong to the only true church and then you are kicked out of that church what will happen well the person who doesn’t know Christ might do something horrible like take their life. The other misuse of discipline is churches who never do it and allow its members to be on their way to heaven but live like hell. Now I am not backing away from believing once somebody is saved they are saved forever but the child of God who sins will lose reward. It is time for our church to use church discipline in a proper Bible based way. Every church and true follower of the Lord Jesus must embrace the fact they were created and created again to bring glory to God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

The Wrong Kind of Freedom

Sunday, July 18, 2010
Galatians chapter 5: 1- 6
Here Paul is preaching about the freedom in Christ that us who know Jesus Christ as our Savior enjoy but he is also warning us not to misuse our freedom.
There are two camps in the Bible believing world who have misused the freedom we have in Christ. Three if you count a group which is not in the Christian camp. Let me explain that one first to get it out of the way.
Some churches and American Christians as I call them instead of Bible Christians believe and preach one can get right with God by doing good works. They must have rejected or don’t know what Ephesians 2:8-9 says. Let me remind you what it says it is by grace you have been saved through faith not by works so no one can boast. The only way to be saved is to admit your need for Christ and to receive him through faith. Now lets move on to the two camps who are in the Christian world.
Here Paul is preaching to a group that is teaching it is Christ plus circumcision that one is saved by. This is not a teaching on weather parents should circumcise their kids now I have mixed feelings on circumcision from what I have studied on it is painful but lets not get on that rabbit trail . If you are depending on circumcision to save you or your child you are not reading or obeying the Bible. Do some people in the Christian world do that today> Lets look at how some Baptize infants. There is nowhere in the Bible you can find a baby being baptized. Now if you are having your child baptized because it is a thing your church does and it is more like a time to pray for the baby and the parents I have no issue with that. However if you and your church believes that will save your child you are not getting that idea from the Bible. It is Jesus only that saves one. It is not Jesus plus something good that saves us.
Now the next camp which has misused our freedom in Christ is those who have turned our freedom in the right to sin and live anyway you want to even if it is a sinful life. Now I don’t agree with the teaching Lordship salvation but those who teach that doctrine have been right to preach that followers of Christ may fall into a mud pile but we shouldn't live in a spiritual mud pile. Also it looks like verse four here is teaching you can lose your salvation. My Bible college teacher has taught me you don’t base your doctrine on one Bible verse. Paul here I believe is not teaching you can lose your salvation rather he is teaching we shouldn't use our freedom as the right to sin. Some have confused freedom and sin. I heard this man on the radio tell a story he was on the street and he saw a man who was drunk and he asked the drunk man if he wanted to receive Christ. The drunk replied give up all this freedom. Sin is not freedom but bondage. The drunk had confused bondage and freedom.

4th of July and True Freedom

HAPPY 4th of July: Well it is the day we celebrate the birthday of America which many of us believe is the greatest nation in the world। America has been blessed by God in many ways but sadly there are things wrong with America that needs to be changed। So how can we see America changed? What can I do to see that happen? What can you do? First off the answer is found in God’s book the Bible. Besides using the Bible for today’s broadcast I am going to use a letter that was written by Rev. Charles Stanley some of you may know of him through the In Touch Broadcasts TV and radio. So what can we do to see this nation brought to God or brought back to God. First off we must return to the word of God. Is it any wonder that the government schools have gone downhill since they took the Bible out of the classroom. The Bible will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from the Bible. Just look how so much sin is going on in these schools. Today students are being given condoms, drug use, crime is going on. However the problem is not only with the government schools but even churches here in America have forgotten the Bible or even rejected it’s teaching. Second we must go to God the father in prayer.

1 Timothy 2:1-2. The leaders of our nation are in the hands of God. We must pray for all of our leaders including those we don’t agree with or didn’t vote for, for example as many of you who have watched my other videos know I didn’t vote for or am I a big backer of President Obama। However every Saturday and many other days I pray for President Obama. No praise to me praying for those we don’t agree with is simple Christian Bible based faith. Third we must stand for the Lord. Romans 1:16 tells us not to be ashamed of the good news. Well there is what we need to do to see this nation start going the right way so are you going to do those things? I hope so. One other thing today we are going to have a birthday celebration for our nation which we should because we are a free nation but not every soul is free in this nation. Gal. 5:1 Christ set us free. True freedom is spiritual and that freedom can only come through a relationship with Jesus.

What Kind of Judgement will you Face

Sunday, June 27, 2010

Galatians 2:6-9
A. God doesn't look at people the way we do. God isn't going to judge people the way we do. The way we judge others is by how they look, how they dress, what their position is in this world.
B. The non believer the person who has not accepted God’s free gift of salvation in the person of Jesus Christ is going to be judge for that rejection of God. But the person who has accepted Jesus is also going to be judge. They are going to be judged how faithful they were to what God called them to. Here Paul was faithful to the people he had been called to take the good news too and so was Peter.
C. God is also going to judge his followers far as if they obeyed him in what he told them to do. If Jesus is Lord of your life in some way and far as that issue goes he tells you to do something you can’t say no Lord because if you say no his Lordship is not running your life. For example if some person says they want to be a missionary. Then God calls them to Mexico they can’t say no Lord I don’t want to go to Mexico.
D. The child will also be judge for their relationship with God. Now when we receive Jesus the most important relationship in our lives has started which I believe can never be lost but you will be judge if you had an ongoing relationship with God. Did you live for him or did you fall back into sin that you didn't repent of. The good news is while we are living we can always repent of the sin in our lives and turn away from it.
Now when you die you are either going to be judged for rejecting God’s gift of salvation in Jesus or you are going to be judged what you did after you received salvation. Either way the answer is to go to Jesus. If you have never come to him today just ask him to come into your life. If you know Jesus but for whatever reason you aren't living for him repent. Tell Jesus you are sorry and with his help you are going to start living for him.
