Does He Or Doesn't He?

Ray Evans • April 26, 2020
Predestination is probably one of the most debated topics in scripture. 

I mean, if our life is predetermined, then what about "freewill?"  It's one or the other...or is it?

God "foreknows" them that are his (he chose them, remember?), but their future is not predetermined. 

He doesn't know what they're going to do any more than you know if your son is going to drive home drunk or your daughter is going to overdose on drugs.  You can establish "rules," but that doesn't mean they will abide by them. 

If life was "predetermined" we wouldn't have a choice.  That's the debate...do we or don't we?

From birth, you are "predestined" to be a child of God, or you're not.  You didn't choose your earthly father, neither do you chose your heavenly Father.  If you're a child of God, your choice, you only choice, is to obey or disobey God...that's freewill.

Predestinate (proorizo) means "ordained."  If you are a child of God, you were "ordained" a priest from the womb; but when he calls, you have the "freewill" to accept or reject the "ordination." 

If you accept and turn your will over to God, he will send the Spirit of Truth to abide with you; and guide you on the path to eternal life.  You must simply follow the path...it's called, "The road to life." 

If you reject the ordination or refuse to follow the right path, you are left to your own devices...that doesn't mean you can't return to God; only that your life will be miserable until you do. 

If you don't...well, your path leads to destruction and eternal damnation.

Do not be deceived: If you're a child of God, he has set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. 

You get to choose the kind of life your want.  He hopes you choose life and blessing, but it's your choice.

However, until you're reborn Spiritually...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?
