When I was 17 years old I was attacked by a ten-foot long Tiger shark. We were surfing just south of Cocoa Beach, Florida. It was a big day for Florida, and there were about 100 of us out that day. Suddenly, the guy next to me was attacked by a shark and his leg…
Some people falsely believe that if God loves them, then that is enough to secure their way to heaven. Just because someone loves you, doesn’t mean they can override your free will. God’s love will not prevent someone from going to hell. A parent may deeply love their adult child but that child can choose…
What does the Bible mean by stating we are to seek the kingdom of God? What does the kingdom consist of? The Kingdom of God, also referred to as the Kingdom of Heaven, includes sharing the gospel or good news about salvation through Jesus Christ. The primary verse is 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 which says, “That…
There are many examples in the Bible showing that demons do afflict people – sometimes with sickness. I am not saying that all sickness is demonic, but there are more illnesses than one might think that can be caused by a demon. I will share several true accounts recorded in the Bible. Some sickness is…
“You’re trying to shove your beliefs down my throat.” Ever heard this when you were trying to share the way of salvation with someone who doesn’t believe Jesus is the only way? This is the response even if you are being sensitive, careful, and loving to them. The truth is that no one is forcing a…

Too often, Christians blame the devil for the problems they face. The truth is that many times it’s the result of our own bad choices. We don’t slow down to pray and listen for the Holy Spirit’s direction. We don’t seek wisdom and godly counsel before making life-altering decisions. We then wonder why some evil…
There are several reasons why hell exists. 1. The punishment of sins. If no hell exists, then there would be no consequences for our actions. 2. To separate the wicked from the just. If the wicked were allowed into heaven, which they are not, they could harm the righteous, just as they do here on…
Many people who are influenced by demons are not aware, or do not even believe in the demonic realm. In addition, most do not realize the subtle way that demonic powers work. The Bible tells us Satan can transform himself into an angel of light. This means what is dark and demonic may appear fun,…
Jesus spoke of three, specific themes that describe hell in the New Testament: Punishment, destruction and banishment. People who would try to argue away these themes ignore not just what the bible clearly states…but what Jesus Himself said.
