turned out to be the most important of all.’

(Acts 4:11-12)


Be sure, then, to keep in your hearts the message you heard from the beginning. If you keep that message, then you will always live in union with the Son and the Father. And this is what Christ himself promised to give us—eternal life. (1 John 2:24-25)

Dying words of Salmasius 


Claudius Salmasius (1588-1653), one of the most consummate scholars of his time, saw cause to exclaim bitterly against himself. "Oh!” said he, “I have lost a world of time –time, the most precious thing in the world!  Had I but one year more, it should be spent in perusing David’s Psalms and Paul’s Epistles. Oh! sirs,” said he, addressing those abut him, “Mind the world less and God more.”

How Can I Be Saved?


You’ve probably seen John 3:16 posted somewhere on a sign, written on a freeway overpass, at a concert, at a sporting event, or even read to you as a little child. This verse is a simple one. There are 20 monosyllables (single words) in the verse. The Gospel is meant to be simple for everyone!


Be sure of your Salvation. Right now, and pray this simple prayer with a sincere heart...


“Lord, forgive me for my sins. I confess that I am a sinner. Come into my heart and make me the person you created me to be. I receive your gift of pardon through Jesus dying for me on the cross to save me. – Amen”


 It was once determined in a court of law that a pardon is only a pardon when it is accepted. There is a true story about a man that refused his pardon. A judge ruled that a pardon is only a pardon when it is accepted. When you prayed that prayer and accepted God’s pardon for your sins, you became a new creation in Christ. 


The Bible teaches that you are saved by faith through Jesus. Grow in the Grace that was just given to you, seek God in His word (The Bible) and go out tell somebody!
