Ask, Seek, Knock

Ray Evans • January 5, 2020
I wasn't looking for God.  I wasn't sick or poor, lame or halt.  I didn't go drugs or have an alcohol problem.

We lived in a 5,300 sq. ft. house on the thirteenth tee in an exclusive neighborhood across from the Mayor of Oklahoma City.  I was the General Manager of an automobile dealership and made a substantial income.

In short, life was good.

Then, one day in the fall of "86, my boss stopped talking to me.  He said he had gone to a Bible study, found Jesus, and could no longer associate with “unbelievers.”

Unbeliever?  What was he talking about?  I believed in God.  Heck, I was raised a Methodist and had the attendance pins to prove it.

I found a New Testament paperback in the waiting room and took it home.  There was a bookmark with “The Sinners Prayer” in the back of the book; I went back into my closet (I didn't want anyone to see or hear me) and read that prayer aloud…nothing happened.  No Angels singing, no trumpets blaring.

Nevertheless, I repeated that prayer every night until I finally got up the nerve to say what I really wanted to say, “God, if you’re real, I want to know.”

You see, it’s not about believing in God…even demons believe in God, and tremble (James 2:19)   It’s about BELIEVING God; walking in his ways and obeying his voice…and you can’t (or won't) until you know, without a doubt, God is real.

I know this sounds trite, but God wants to know you...and he wants you to know him. 

Seek God with all your heart and pray as I prayed over thirty years ago, “God, if you’re real, I want to know.”  If you’re sincere, God will reveal himself in his way, in his time, according to his purpose; and you will no longer hope, assume or even believe God is real…you will know he's real.

Until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

There's A New World Coming

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.

Be Careful Whom You Choose To Follow

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.

A Part or Apart?

By Ray Evans • May 7, 2020
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

The $64,000 Question

By Ray Evans • May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
