Yo - Yo Salvation Part II
This is fitting, this being the last article I write for Basic Training. I will have one more writing, but it will be a little about the ministry and what the future is for our website and of course, to thank you for allowing me in to your home each day over the last year.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 14:16
In the “Yo-Yo Salvation Part I”, I gave reasons why I believe we have eternal security. Well, let’s say we don’t have it. Let’s say we have this “Yo-Yo Salvation” going on. By the way, you will see why I use that term shortly.
First, if we could lose our salvation, the Lord would have… Continue reading
The Yo - Yo Salvation Part I
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. John 14:20
Have you ever thought about your salvation and how miraculous it is? I come from the point that true salvation is a secure salvation. Yet,I know there are some of you reading this who believe you can lose your salvation and that is fine with me. I am not writing to persuade you away from what you believe, as long as we agree Christ is the only way to heaven. One my favorite teachers, one I trust explicitly, believes in loss of salvation. It doesn’t bother me, because we both believe in the One who loves us and saved us from the wrath to come and forgave our sins.

Love Your Enemies
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:43-44
In today’s world, where getting even is the norm of the day, I cannot imagine how these two verses would change the world if people applied them on a regular basis.
First, love your neighbor, then love your enemy and pray for your enemy. Let’s see a show of hands, how many of you reading this pray for your enemies? Oh, I pray all right, but I’m not sure he meant the prayers I pray for them. Just being honest.
A while back… Continue reading
Paul Washer - Breaking over the Lost Souls
This one will change your heart about evangelism. We have really prostituted the Gospel. Many miss true salvation.
Remember, repentance leads to salvation.
Narrow is the Gate
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
You have to wonder why so many people think they are headed to heaven, when they do nothing for God’s kingdom, nor desire to emulate Christ in their daily walk.
Some evangelists estimate that 90% of those who call themselves Christian, are not Christian. They claim Christ, but they do not have the Holy Spirit living in them.
Broad is the Way to Destruction
The broad path leads to destruction. This is the path most people take. This is the easy path to… Continue reading
“It” Makes all the Difference
PASSION OF THE CHRIST RESURRECTION - BEYOND THE GRAVE
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Thus, our faith is in the “story of the resurrection.”
Thinking about Jesus, we remember the Cross and talk about it with our friends and with non-believers. However, we say little about the resurrection. After all, the Cross is where they put our Lord to death. It was a sacrifice of… Continue reading
Would You Bet on These Odds?
Let’s say I came up to you and said I had a great idea for an investment. In fact, there is a chance that you could triple your money in a few short years.
Would you be interested?
I bet you would. Now, let me tell you, it will cost you $20,000, but the chances are very good you could make $60,000 in a few years on this investment.
Would you be interested? Well, let’s say you had $20,000 to invest.
So, you tell me that sounds pretty good. In fact it sounds very good.
Then I say to you here are the odds that makes this such a great investment. You spend $20,000 with me and the odds you will triple your money in a few years are 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After looking at the odds… Continue reading
The Power in the Midst of Turmoil
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:19-20
Have we forgotten the power that indwells us? Have we forgotten how to access this power. If you have Christ, you have the Holy Spirit in you. And the Word says when the Holy Spirit comes He will fill us with power to over come the forces of evil.
The forces of evil, those prophesied for the last days are upon us. Look around, just a Jesus… Continue reading
