Hi all…just wanted to post a quick note that I’m still around and all is well…lol

Been a bit hectic the past few days, but looking forward to putting up some exciting stuff in the next few days!

Many blessings!

FREEDOM IN JESUS-JESUS AND MONEY

“The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me.” (Matt. 26:11)

Before we look at the promises of prosperity for those in Christ, it’s important that we take a look at something else, too…the poor.  With one single verse, Jesus has taken the mystery out of one thing: In spite of the Lord’s promises of prosperity, the poor will always be here among us. How come? First of all, the promises of prosperity were made specifically to God’s kids. Non-believers are not heirs to that promise, even though many of them become wealthy in their lifetime, many will also be poor. Secondly, there are many Christians that live in poverty, as well.

The question is, if God has promised us prosperity, why are so many missing it? Did God lie? Or maybe he meant we would be wealthy and prosperous in heaven, but, here in THIS life we just have to suffer along with everyone else?

Well, we know God didn’t lie. And while I’m sure we’ll have wealth beyond compare in heaven, I’m just as sure that he never intended for us to wait til we get there to receive it. I’m also sure we’ll never know the full answer or answers as to why so many Christians live on limited means…but maybe we can know SOME of them. And if we can know SOME of them, maybe we can help somebody, somewhere, overcome the obstacles they face to reach the other side…freedom in Jesus!

Some of us may remain in poverty because of generational curses…things they don’t know how to break free from…but I think a lot of us remain where we are because of our lack of understanding and knowledge of the promises God has already fulfulled to us through Jesus! (Actually, these two things go hand in hand). I’d like to share some things with you…food for thought…that may help shed a lil light on what I mean.

“In a loud voice they sang: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”" (Rev. 5:12)

Jesus was slain, in part,  to receive wealth. Did you know that? And since we are co-heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17), then we received wealth as a result of his sacrifice, too…it’s not something we’re GONNA get…it’s something we’ve ALREADY gotten…just like our salvation. We don’t have to wait til we die to get it, it’s already ours! We just need to figure out how to see it manifested in our lives. Which leads to the next part of this post…some steps we can take that may help manifest a change in our lives, not just in the area of finances, but in all areas…things that might help us to find a little more of our freedom in Jesus! In the next post or two, I’ll share with you so many promises of prosperity from God that it can’t be denied…but for now, if you would accept it as a reality, we’ll move along.

There are three things that I believe limit us, as Christians, not just in our finances, but in many other areas, as well. The first one, of course, is knowledge. If you don’t know it, you surely can’t believe it or act on it. The second thing is faith. And the third thing is having a better understanding of how the enemy and his kingdom work against us! Some of the habits we’ve developed are so subtle, yet so powerfully captivating, that we don’t even realize we’ve endangered ourselves!

Now, I”m gonna shift gears here for just a minute, and we’ll get right back to this…and hopefully we’ll tie it up a little for this post. The single most important event in a person’s life is receiving the salvation that is freely offered in Jesus. NOTHING else a person can do will affect his or her  future like this one single event. Now Paul wrote…

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom. 10:9)

This is where this thing is going: If this statement is true, that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that “Jesus is Lord,” and that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved…if this statement about the single most important event in your entire life  (past, present or future) is true…then how true must it be of lesser events, too? What I mean by that, is this: that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that you’re poor…you will be. Or that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that you’re sick…or that you’re worthless, or that the situation is hopeless…

How many times have we proclaimed that…

“I can’t afford it.”

“We never have any money.”

“I’ll guess I’ll always be poor.”

“There’s never enough money to pay the bills.”

If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart…wow!!! And if we didn’t believe it in our heart, we wouldn’t be confessing it…

“…For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Matt. 12:34).

WOW! Now that’s Jesus, himself, making that statement! And we don’t even realize we are condemning ourselves by our words! How come? Because we’ve been so conditioned by the kingdom of the world…

HOME BUSINESS BLOG-MY FREE HOME BUSINESS

Today, I’d like to share with you just a little on how to promote your free home business. Of course, there are as many ways to promote your free affiliate websites as there are people to promote them! I’d like to share a few of those with you today, along with the pros and cons of each one.

The first way I’d like to touch on today is email marketing, or safelisting. Rule #1, you do NOT want to start sending out a bunch of random emails to people you don’t know without their permission. You know, as well as I do, that nobody likes to be spammed (plus it’s illegal)! There are ways, however, to send emails out to folks you don’t know WITH their permission! One way to do this is with landing pages, which we’ll cover later. Today, though, we want to look at safelisting.

Safelists are lists that you can join that are full of people that have agreed to receive your emails. In return, you agree to receive their emails. While this can be an effective way to get your business out there, keep in mind that the same people that are receiving your email, agreed to do so in order to be allowed to send YOU their offers! While you can join most safelists for free (of course, most of them offer upgrades), the free ones are often ineffective.

Once you upgrade, you can email a lot more members a lot more often. Another benefit of upgrading is that you often receive a LOT less email! The typical set up is this: Free members can email free members once a week, and receive emails from everybody in the list. Upgrade to “pro” and you may be able to email all free and pro members two or three times a week…and receive emails only from the pro and “executive” members. Upgrade to “executive” and email ALL members of the list as often as you like…and receive emails only from other executive members. The upgrades are normally fairly modest in price.

Obviously, the executive memberships are far more effective if you decide you want to try safelisting. Whether the lists are free or paid, the list is already there for you. You can have an instant list of thousands! The downside, is that it’s very competetive, and can be very expensive if you upgrade in a few of them. If you’re making money from them, it’s worth it, of course, but if you’re just starting out or if you are on a limited budget, it might not be a wise investment. Personally, while I do use a few of them, I don’t spend too much time or money on them.

I will share with you a few that I do like, though, and that I’ve found to be fairly responsive. Number 1 on the list is:

ListJoe is a great list to start with. It’s a little pricey to upgrade, but worth it IF you want to make safelisting one of your preferred methods of marketing. If you’re not intending to do much with safelists, I would recommend you starting as a free member.(Actually, it’s more of a list builder than a safelist, but it works much in the same way…but it has the added benefit of building your list, too.)

List-twister is another good viral list builder. It’s still fairly new (and fairly inexpensive to upgrade), and as it grows, so will your list!

Herculist seems to be a pretty good safelist to start with. Of course, you can join as a free member, or upgrade to different levels. Either way, it currently has a list of around 56,000 members. I’ve been a member for awhile now, and it might be worth your taking a look.

TargetProBlaster is another one I use, mostly because there’s a lifetime upgrade of only $10 to send out emails to a list of around 50,000 currently.

One of the absolute favorites on my list is the Pearls of Wealth safelist group. You can join any or all of them. Most of them are free to join, and you can join as many or as few as you like. If you’d like to try the safelist submitter, feel free to do so, as long as you understand there is a monthly membership fee (that you can cancel at any time). The Pearls lists are generally pretty responsive, and are all over the world (which is great for your international free home business!). I would recommend you joining a few of them for free and getting your feet wet before jumping into the submitter, unless it’s something you can easily afford. Another great alternative that I’ve used a few times is that you can send out a one time ad to all lists for $5. That might be something else you’d like to try before you commit to a paid membership. See how it works for you.

Just as a note of caution here, if you happen to run across these blasters that charge you $20-30 for a lifetime membership to “blast” your ads to millions a day…STAY AWAY! I’m sure there are probably a few legitimate ones out there, but I also know that many of them are just wanting your thirty bucks. I’m not talking about some of the safelist submitters (which are different altogether) like Pearls of Wealth, or iPostAd…but about the blasters that promise to send your ads to 150-700 million people a day for a one-time lifetime payment. It’s your money, but…

Safelists can be quite effective. I’m not a huge fan of them, although I do use them on occassion, too! Don’t rule them out totally, but don’t get too hung up on ‘em either! There are other ways (totally free) that work just as well or better!

LEGITIMATE FREE HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

The age old question: Are there such things as  legitimate free home business opportunities? The answer may surprise you! First of all, let’s look at the reason you’re investigating this avenue in the first place. Maybe you were laid off and in today’s economy, it’s pretty tough to find a decent job…or even a not so decent job. Maybe with the economic turmoil, you just need a little extra cash! Don’t despair…and don’t run around throwing money at a lot of different programs that promise to bring the cash rolling in with the click of a button!

Back to the question: Are there really such things as legitimate free home business opportunities? There are a surprising number of “free” home businesses, that (not so surprisingly) really aren’t free. They may be free to join, but they often require you to upgrade or maintain a certain dollar amount in monthly purchases to qualify to receive your money. The money YOU earned! In spite of those guys, there really and truly are a few legitimate free home business opportunities on the internet! We’re not talking about the survey thing, or the clicking ads for pennies type thing, but real, true, honest-to-goodness home business programs that can earn you a substantial income!

Most of these offer upgrades too, but don’t REQUIRE them, like many other “free” opportunities. Of course, the upgrades offer the potential to earn even more money, but it’s a choice that YOU make. You can honestly remain “free” as long as you like and still receive your earnings…and with a little time and effore, those earnings can be rather lucrative!

Likewise, you can spend as much as you want on advertising or promoting your new business…but it’s really not necessary if you’re willing to put in a little time and effort in learning about the free ways. Yep, it may take a little longer and require a little more effort, but it’s just as effective, and in the long run, the advantages lie with the free ways. They can self-produce for you over a very long period of time, simply by putting in a little work in the beginning.

Even the free home business programs may cost a little bit to start up, though. We’re not talking about a major investment, but even with a free affiliate website, for instance, you’ll need a place to host it. There are tons of hosting services out available for very little cost…usually less than ten bucks a month! And you might be interested in getting your own domain name…another small investment. It’s really easy to find those for well under ten bucks, too!

A lot of internet business folks recommend autoresponders, as well. Do you HAVE to have one? Not at all. Especially if you’re selling affliate products! That’s a choice you have to make for yourself, but it’s an investment that you might want to consider at some point down the road, especially if you’re selling your own products or trying to build a list. Another twenty bucks of so a month. You can easily do without the autoresponder, as many affiliate programs will have their own, but even if you go all out right off the bat, with the domain name, the hosting and the autoresponder, you’re looking at forty dollars or less a month to operate your home business. There’s NOWHERE else where you can do THAT!

Are there really such things as “legitimate free home business opportunities“? You bet! You just have to take a little time to find it…

PERSONAL HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN

If you’re like millions of Americans, finding a personal health insurance plan that you can afford has been a difficult task…and it’s getting harder and harder each day. The insurance companies keep increasing premiums, covering less, and if you have a pre-existing condition, you can pretty much hang up any chance you had at grabbing onto some strand of relatively ineffective insurance. Many people that used to be able to get reasonable insurance through their employer have seen rates skyrocketing, the coverage dwindling, or the option of providing health coverage disappearing altogether.

Long waits for health care are becoming more commonplace. Haggling with your insurance company over needed or recommended procedures are another every day occurance, not just concerning the time frame and coverage, but whether or not they’ll cover it at all. With medical costs going through the roof, and little or no relief in sight, there are estimated to be 45 million Americans without health insurance. And countless others that are seeing household budgets strained by trying to keep up their premiums in today’s economy. It’s not uncommon to find households paying between $300 and $600 a month just for health insurance!

Can you imagine, in today’s struggling economy…without any type of health coverage…the relief and peace of mind of finding an affordable alternative for the entire family?

Believe it or not, there is such an alternative available! While many people aren’t aware of such programs, there are programs available that are NOT insurance companies, but rather professional medical savings programs, that require no medical exams and that accept anyone (including those with pre-existing conditions!). If you find the RIGHT professional medical savings program, the benefits they offer often rival, or exceed, the “coverage” provided by many far more expensive insurance companies!

It seems nearly impossible to expect it in today’s world, but there are programs that offer savings, not only on health care, but dental, vision, hearing and prescriptions, all in one complete package, through one PPO (Preferred Providers Organization) or another! Excellent savings programs can be found for under $100 a month that include savings for the entire family! Many insurance companies today don’t offer that kind of coverage at anything close to an affordable price for the average family! In addition, there are no claim forms to fill out and no waiting for the insurance company to “approve” the doctor (or the visit)!

The “drawback” is often seen as a modest increase members may pay for a doctor’s visit. At the same time, while one may pay an additional $10-$20 at the doctor’s office, quite often, the savings for hospital visits and major medical expenses are greater than what the insurance companies can offer. Add that to the fact, that the members pay less than $100 a month to participate in the program, compared to $300 or more for insurance, and there is quite a significant savings! The average family would have to visit the doctor roughly 8-12 times a month, EACH month, in order to benefit from the average medical insurance coverage (compared to the savings program)!

The days of the affordable personal health insurance plan appear to be gone forever. If you, or anyone you know, is without adequate health care plan, be a friend…suggest they check out the possibility of joining a professional medical savings program. If you, or anyone you know, is paying $300-$600 a month for health insurance, be a friend…make the same suggestion. The benefits may surprise you, and the savings will definitely help ease the financial burden!

Mmmmmmmm….how great would it be to sleep all night again, just by getting that one monkey off your back!!!

THE NEW COVENANT (Part 2)

“All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.” (Isa. 64:6).

For those who seek God’s presence by their own works…for trying to follow the rules and regulations of religion…the veil is still there, separating them from God. And it always will be. For those people “…It has not been removed…”

But what else did you see in 2 Cor. 3:14-16?

“…because only in Christ is it taken away.”

“But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”

Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away! No more separation from God. How come? Because centuries later…

“At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.” (Matt. 27:51).

Because when Jesus died on the cross for your sins, the curtain that separated us from God was torn in two from top to bottom. Just as Aaron had to cleanse himself by sacrifice before he could enter God’s presence, I have to cleanse myself by sacrifice before I can enter His
presence. So do you. But for you and me, the sacrifice was provided by God….Jesus….so that whenever “anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” His blood is our purification.

And instead of having to sacrifice every time we wish to enter God’s presence, the sacrifice that was made once…Jesus on dying on the cross…was sufficient forever.

On top of that, we can enter His presence any time we wish. We’re not limited to once a year.Through Jesus, we’ve been made clean. We can be with God anytime we like, anywhere we like! Unlike the priests of old, we don’t have to enter God’s presence with fear and trembling…we don’t have to wonder if our buddies are gonna have to drag us back out by a rope tied around our ankles! In fact, Paul says in Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence…”
With confidence! Why?

“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood…” (Rom. 3:20-25)

“Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!” (Rom. 5:9).

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace…” (Eph. 1:7).

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.” (Eph. 2:13).

“For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” (Col. 1:19,20).

Through Jesus, we have peace with God. We’ve been washed in the Blood of the Lamb. We can fellowship with God…anytime, anywhere. Our sins have been redeemed.
That’s the New Covenant.
:0)

New Covenant
“In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.” (Luke 22:20)

“He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?” (2 Cor. 3:6-8).

“But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” (2 Cor. 3:14-16).

“Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Gal. 3:21-29)

The Law of Moses. The Ten Commandments. That’s the old covenant. The new covenant is Jesus Christ. It’s interesting to note, though, that the new covenant… Jesus…was promised long before the old covenant was
ever established!

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.” (Gen. 3:15).

“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Gen. 12:3).

“Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.” (Gen. 18:18).

It’s also interesting to note what Paul wrote in 2 Cor. 3:14-16. If you didn’t catch it, please read it again. Did you see it?

“…for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read.”

What veil? At some point, there will be a fascinating teaching on the tabernacle of the Old Testament. For the moment, though, do you remember the curtain that was hung to separate the Most Holy Place from the Holy Place?

“Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.” (Ex. 26:33).

“The Lord said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.” (Lev. 16:2).
Not just anyone could enter the Most Holy Place. Only the high priest…which at the time was Aaron. And even he could only enter once a year (Lev. 16:24). Why?

“…because I appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.”

God was present in the Most Holy Place. And no one was clean enough to enter His presence, which is why He was separated from the people by the heavy curtain. Before the high priest could enter, he had to cleanse himself by sacrifice…and if he wasn’t clean enough, he would never leave the Most Holy Place under his own power. His fellow priests would drag his lifeless body out by a rope tied around his ankle.

That’s the old covenant. Separation from God. Those who try to live by the Law of Moses will never enter God’s presence. They can’t get past the veil. No one will ever be clean enough to enter God’s presence through the old covenant.

WHY I PROMOTE HOME BUSINESS PROGRAMS

Now for the spiritual side of why I choose to promote home business programs…the number one motivator for me! I truly believe that we, as people, are to spend our lives working. I don’t, however, believe we are to spend them “earning a living” or just getting by! To me, the Bible has promised us prosperity. It has promised us freedom through Jesus Christ. It tells me about a God of abundance, who provides all our needs…and a God who gives generously to all. In fact, there is nothing anywhere…not on heaven, nor on earth…that can be earned from God.

We can’t earn salvation. That’s very clear. Yet, He gives it freely. We can’t earn healing. Yet, He gives it freely. But we think we have to earn a living…even though He has already promised to provide our needs! The problem is, we would rather depend on our human peers to provide for us through a means we call “employment,” than to depend on God (and the abilities that He’s given us) to provide for ourselves and our families. What’s the difference and where did we go wrong?

It started in the garden of Eden, when Adam ate the forbidden fruit.

“Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Gen. 3:17-19)

Everyone assumes from this verse that we are doomed to a life of labor and toil. The Bible also says, “If a man will not work, he shall not eat.” (2 Thes. 3:10).

There are, however, a couple of things most people don’t stop to think about! The first, is this:

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” (Gal. 3:13)

We’ve been redeemed from the curse of Adam! Jesus did that on the cross! The second thing we don’t stop to think about is this: before Adam ever even thought about eating the forbidden fruit, he was…working!

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” (Gen. 2:15)

Adam was put in the garden to work before it ever became a curse! It was a BLESSING to work! After the fall, it became a curse. But then Jesus came along to redeem us from the curse…and work SHOULD have become a blessing again…but it didn’t for most of us! How come? Because by then, we were so ingrained in our ways of being enslaved to someone else that it never occurred to us that we were set free!

What kind of work blessed Adam? The work that God put him here to do…tend the garden. What kind of work blesses you? Tending a garden? Playing music? Painting pictures? Creating things from popsicle sticks? Working in a gas station? Then THAT’S WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING!!! Instead, we crawl around from one “job” to another, scratching out our meager existance and wonder why God is putting us through this horrible ordeal. Only it’s not by His choice that we do it…it’s by our own.

He takes a lot of blame for a lot of things we bring on ourselves, dear friends. Instead of blaming God, find your blessing and pursue it. A good home business (whether online or not) will allow you to do just that. I choose to promote those that cost little or no money for someone just starting out, because most folks that are looking for ways to make money, don’t have any. These can be a great stepping stone and help you get started on your path to financial freedom. Please, whether you choose any of these programs or not…please, take whatever steps you have to take to get out from under the curse.

Jesus paid the ultimate price for your freedom and mine. Let’s try not to waste it…

Many blessings!

WHY I PROMOTE HOME BUSINESS PROGRAMS

I suppose it would be easy to assume that the #1 reason I promote home business programs is for the money. In truth, that’s a valid reason, but it comes somewhere down the list. The #1 reason, however, has nothing to do with money. Neither does the #2 reason. If you’ll allow me…

From a strictly secular standpoint, when we work for someone else, they have total control over when (or if) we work, how much money we make, the hours we may or may not work, etc. In other words, they control an awful big part of our lives. They control what time we wake up…after all, we don’t want to be late! They control the amount of time we spend with your family. For most of us, they control a large portion of what we can or can’t enjoy in our “off” time, simply by controlling our wages. In other words, in a sense, we are slaves of a system that throws us a few scraps every Friday to keep us coming back for more!

Job security? Years ago, maybe, but it’s a thing of the past. Again, it’s in the control of the powers that be. From CEO to parking lot attendant or dishwasher. You never really know. Aside from that, we spend a large portion of our lives frantically trying to get somewhere (that most of us don’t want to be in the first place!), so we can perform duties (that most of us don’t wish to be performing!), just so we can catch a few scraps on payday! Then we wonder why we’re stressed out!

There are great artists working as prison guards. Writers working in gas stations. Folks that would be great at decorating your home working in a factories. And there is nothing wrong with that…IF that’s what you enjoy! I remember reading an article in the newspaper (I live in Virginia) about an elderly man in California that worked as a Walmart greeter, and how he had influenced the community…his story was in newspapers across the country! He was doing what he was put here to do…be a greeter at Walmart! He was where he belonged! He wasn’t enslaved by the system, he was completely free!

But how many of us can say that we are doing what we’re supposed to be doing?

If you hate working in the bank, then WHY ARE YOU? Start your own home business! It doesn’t have to be on the internet, although there are advantages to it. You don’t have to have a lot of money, or a lot of time to START. Start small. Start slowly. Just START! And be patient. Be persistent. Do what you were put here to do! Enjoy life. Enjoy work. Enjoy your family and your off time! LIVE FREE!

HELL: TRUTH OR FICTION

The entire purpose of this website is not to “scare” you into receiving Jesus as your Savior. It is, instead, dedicated to informing you of the truth and educating you in the things that will hopefully help you experience your freedom in Christ to a greater degree, and maybe even help you understand a little better, just how much your Father loves you! Part of God’s truth is that there is a place of torment for unbelievers. Ignoring the truth doesn’t change the truth. Denying the truth doesn’t change it either. If you haven’t yet accepted Jesus as your Savior, then, yes…that would be a little scary. If you are sitting here reading this, it’s not too late.

Hmmmm. Ignoring the truth. Denying the truth. If the grass is green, you can ignore the fact all you like. You can deny it all you like. You can tell all your friends it’s red, blue or black. You can convince yourself that it’s any one of these colors, or all of these colors. You can write books about it, sing songs about it, preach sermons on it. You can convince others that the grass is red, blue or black. But that doesn’t change the fact that the grass is green, no matter what you say or believe. No matter how many others you may convince. If the grass is green, it’s green. Your ignoring it and denying it doesn’t change it. That’s the way it is with truth. Accept it or not,
it’s still the truth. And the truth is, there is heaven…and there is hell.

If you died right now, where would your soul end up? If you haven’t accepted Jesus as your Savior… if you want to think about it a little more… feel free. There’s no pressure. The choice is yours to make in your own
time. But if you decide to put it off until tomorrow are you prepared for the possible consequences?

We’re not trying to “sell” you on salvation or anything else. In fact, there is nothing here to buy other than a few books and a few songs. As for salvation? That choice is yours to make. We are, however hoping to inform you so that you can be better equipped to make that decision. Salvation is
one of the few things that can’t be bought with any amount of money. It’s absolutely, one hundred percent free. In fact, no one anywhere can sell it to
you, although there are those who might try. It’s a gift from God.

“…it is the gift of God…” (Eph. 2:8).

A gift is something that a person buys or makes to give to someone else. You can’t buy a gift for yourself. It’s impossible. If you buy it for yourself, it’s not a gift, it’s a purchase. If you buy it to give to another, then it’s a gift. God bought your salvation for you because He knew you can’t afford the price. He bought it with the blood of Jesus. He offers it to you freely…it’s your gift from God. Like any gift, you are free to accept it or reject it.

If you accept it, we gain nothing but your eternal fellowship in our Father’s presence. You, on the other hand, gain eternal life. If you reject it, we lose nothing. You lose everything. We say this, not to make light of your salvation, but so that you may know these pages and God’s offer of salvation are for you! Again, the purpose of this website is not to scare you
into anything, but to educate you in the truth…and the truth is, there is a heaven and there is a hell. Once you leave this earth you go to one or the other. If you are a child of God, through Jesus Christ, you go to heaven. If you aren’t, you don’t. Which leaves only one alternative…hell. And you make your own choice while you’re here on earth. It’s that simple.

Some say that a loving God could never create a place like hell. What they don’t realize, is that while He did indeed create it, He does everything in His power to keep you from going there, other than making the decision for you.

“He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9).

He had to create it for the unjust.

Some ask why a loving God would send the people He so dearly loves to such a place…a place of eternal torment. What they don’t realize, is that God doesn’t send anyone to hell. He never has and never will. Those who end up there are there by choice. God gives them the choice to make… life through Jesus or hell…and they choose. You choose. It’s your choice.

He loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son for you…to keep you from hell…if you’ll let Him. Then He allows you to decide for yourself to accept or reject His offer. YOU are the one that catches the ride to heaven or chooses hell.

It’s your choice. Eternal life through Jesus…or eternal punishment (Matt. 25:46). Which will you choose? If you’ve already decided, we look forward to meeting you someday! If you haven’t, feel free to browse through our website and drop us a line about anything you have questions about. If you’d like to have us pray for you, whether you’re a Christian or not, just let us know. Like salvation, prayer is free! Not only that, but…“The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16). If you’ve never made the decision for Jesus, but would like to make it now, please click here.
