4 Things God wants you to know

1. You NEED to be Saved 
“Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23 “There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good and sinneth not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9 “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way.” Isaiah 53:6
2. Jesus Has ALREADY PROVIDED for Your Salvation 
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God.” I Peter 3:18 Him (Jesus) “Who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” II Corinthians 5:21 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
DO IT NOW… 
“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” Isaiah 55:6 “Behold, now is the day of salvation.” II Corinthians 6:2
3. You CANNOT Save Yourself 
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us.” Titus 3:5 “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” John 14:6
4. Jesus WILL Enable You to OVERCOME Temptation 
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted above that ye are able, but will with the temptation, also make the way to escape.” I Corinthians 10:13 “If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36 “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away… all things are become new.” II Corinthians 5:17
Remember… 
“Every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” Romans 14:12 “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” Hebrews 9:27 “He that… believeth on Him that sent Me… shall not come into judgment.” John 5:24 “Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15
Your Part… 
Believe — “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” Acts 16:31 Repent — (turn from your sins). “Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3 Confess your sin to Jesus — “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus.” I Timothy 2:5 Confess Jesus Before Men — “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Romans 10:9
Being convinced that I am a sinner, and knowing that “Christ died for the ungodly,” Romans 5:6. I NOW accept Jesus as my Saviour and with His help I intend to confess Him before men.

THE PULPIT ETHICS

The pulpit is the most sacred and exalted place in the church. He who occupies this position stands as the representative of Christ. This is the minister's first line of offense. From this honored and dedicated place, he boldly denounces sin and courageously challenges the devil. From the sacred desk are heard the truths of God which cuts as a two-edged sword, bringing both conviction and contrition to the sinner and the worshiper. Words of life and death flow from this fount. To this vantage point, the penitent looks for the heavenly balm of Gilead. Preachers must be careful not to allow their comportment to undermine the authority of the word of God and bring reproach to the name of Christ . Posture The preacher must have a good posture. He must not stand in a slouched position, leaning over or on the pulpit. He should stand erect, with both feet on the floor. To lean on the pulpit does not impress the congregation that the speaker has any fire and enthusiasm, or that his ...

THE THIRD DAY VERSUS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS

Were the 3 days 3 nights that Jesus was in the grave a full 72 hours? Is there a difference between "three days" and "the third day"? There has been a long standing debate over the meaning of Matthew 12:40, “for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” In my opinion, the evidence supports the traditional view that Jesus was crucified on Friday afternoon and was in the grave part of Friday (the day of preparation cf. Luke 23:54-55), all of Saturday (Luke 23:56), and part of Sunday, the first day of the week (Luke 24:1). Some of the evidence for this is as follows: (1) To us, three days and three nights generally means 72 hours, but we must understand the Bible historically and culturally. For the Jewish mind, this could mean any part of the first day, all of the second day, and any part of the third day. This is obvious by comparing Esther 4:16 ...
