You just never know for sure till you go for it!  Caleb wanted Hebron, the Giants had taken it over but his faith was not deterred, I want that mountain is what he asked for and Hebron, the mountain, is what he got!  “Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh  the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God  of Israel.”  Joshua 14:14

Week 22

"Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God. And  Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have  trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because  thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God."  Joshua 14:7-9

Week 21

Caleb is connected to more giant killing than any other character in the Bible.  Find out why.  “Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.” Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite (Joshua 14:12)

Repent or Perish!

For all of human history we as men have been measuring our lives by seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months years, decades, centuries and millenniums. But when the Great White Throne Judgment is complete, and the lost have received their final judgment, time will then be no longer.  God gives each of us an appointed amount of time on the earth to establish a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.  Following is what you need to know and do.

The Original Sin – You must realize That you have broken God’s laws from birth.  You are a spiritual criminal. Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

The Penalty of Sin – You must realize the curse of death is upon you if you are not saved. Revelation 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

The Judgment of Sin – Before you go to hell there will be a terrible Judgment. Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

The Good News Verse – God loves you and will saved you. John 3:16 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.

The Check Verse – Salvation comes when you receive Jesus Christ.  It occurs at a definite place and a definite time. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

The Free Gift Verse – Salvation is actually a free gift of God to you. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (9) Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The Claim Verse – Jesus will enter into your heart and life if you will simply ask him to! Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice,  and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

week 19

There will come a time for all of mankind when time is no longer measured.  For all of human history we as men have been measuring time by seconds, minutes, days, weeks, months years, decades, centuries and millenniums. But when the Great White Throne Judgment is over and the lost have received their final judgment time will then be no longer.  God gives each of us an appointed amount of time on the earth to establish a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.

week 18

Repent or Perish!

Revelation 2:14 tells us about the eternal prison for the souls who dies  with out forgiveness of sin and salvation in Christ Jesus. It says,  "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second  death."  There will come a time for all of mankind when time is no  longer measured.  What then?  Click to hear.

week 17

Matthew chapter 26 and verses 63-66 tell us about a conspiracy that was formed by the political and religious leaders to disavow the resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."

Read Simon Peter's testimony before the the Jews on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2:24  "Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."          week 15

Worthy is [Jesus Christ] the Lamb of God, for Satan could not beat HIM and hell could not defeat HIM, and death could not keep HIM! Archie Watkins

"But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak." (Mark 14:71)  These are the words of Simon Peter the apostle just before Jesus was to be crucified.  Just a few weeks later he said,  "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. (Acts 2:22-24)  What changed?

Once the news of Christs' resurrection was known the religious leaders conspired with the soldiers using bribery.  "...Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept." (Matthew 28:13)  But why?  To control the narrative and to gain the upper hand, maybe?  What happened?

If the resurrection of Jesus Christ really did occur then you have a very important decision to make.
