Amazing Discoveries

We’ve often heard from the pulpit that we must repent, but many of us don’t understand what true repentance is. And the truth is, we cannot even repent on our own because we love sin more than we love Christ and don’t want to give it up. But repentance is a condition we must meet before we can even receive forgiveness. What, then, must we do to be saved?

The sad reality is that there are many Christians who are merely modified but have never been transformed. One of Satan’s major deceptions is that we don’t have to fully surrender to God. The problem is many of us have idols that possess our hearts while we claim to be Christ’s followers. But Christ cannot be satisfied with only a corner of our hearts while Satan occupies the throne.

Learn why the struggle you feel is a beautiful thing.

In the Garden of Eden when they fell into sin, Adam and Eve felt the shame of nakedness and hid from God. It’s the same for us today. When we fall into sin and feel guilt and shame, the natural response is to run from God. We feel condemned by Him. We experience guilt as a punishment from God.

Feeling unworthy of His love and grace, we don’t want to pray, don’t want to read our Bibles, don’t want to go to church. We mourn for our shortcomings, but never seem to be able to overcome. As a result, many of us are Sadventists, looking for Christ’s return while we wallow in our unhappy, sinful state because we’ve failed to meet the first condition required before being accepted in Christ. But is guilt a punishment? Or is it a gift?

Learn how to deal with guilt in this presentation.

Is God’s sole purpose to get us into heaven? Or is there something more that He wants to do for us? Are we missing His full purpose for us? Many Christians feel something is lacking in their experience and long to know completeness in Christ. In ignorance of our great need, we compare ourselves with others, and think, At least I’m not like that person. Deep inside, though, we know we’re lacking something essential. Like a surfer thrown by an overpowering wave, we feel that we’re fighting a losing battle, trying to reach the shore but drowning in sin instead. Experienced surfers know it’s useless to fight the waves. In the same way, victorious Christians must learn that fighting against Christ is harder than surrendering to Him. Learn what the mysterious power of Christ is that draws us to Him.

Do you find yourself constantly backsliding in your Christian walk? Christianity is not just about forgiveness but having the power to live a Christ-like life. But how do we get that power? Many of us are caught in a repeated cycle of falling into sin, asking repentance, then falling into sin again, and again. We haven’t experienced the holiness of a life lived in wholeness for God. Jesus’ parables about the ten virgins and the improperly dressed wedding guest have lessons for us. What was the essential oil that the five foolish virgins failed to bring with them? Why would the others not share with them in their hour of need? How was the man deceived into thinking his own clothes were good enough to get him into the feast? We may excuse our faults for a time, but in that day, like the speechless man who came to the wedding feast without a wedding garment, we will have no excuse. Learn how to come back to God after backsliding and end the cycle.

The Laodicean message is for those who believe in the Three Angels’ Messages. It is for lukewarm Christians in God’s last day church. But what does it mean to be Laodicean? Some mistakenly think that not working hard enough for God is being Laodicean and the solution is to simply do more for God. But this is a fatal deception, for what greater deception can come upon human minds than a confidence that they are right when they are all wrong? Why is Christ knocking at the door of your heart? What is keeping Him out that He doesn’t enter? And what is the only thing that can bring us into harmony with God?

Are you a lukewarm Christian? How can you tell if you are being a lukewarm Christian? The message to the Laodicean church is for us. Christ laments that His church is lukewarm and in a spiritual condition that sickens Him. Thinking we are rich, increased with goods and in need of nothing, we are blind to our true, deplorable condition. What can we learn from the experiences of the rich young ruler and Nicodemus, who were also rich, increased with goods and in need of nothing? These two men both had close experiences with Christ, but the results upon their lives was vastly different from each other. What is the one job that the rich young ruler refused to do? What must you do to avoid making the same mistake? Through this talk you will learn how not to be a lukewarm Christian.
