It's What's On The Inside That Counts

Ray Evans • April 22, 2020
There is so much confusion over being "born again" and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.  These events are not mutually exclusive (you can't have one, without the other)

I heard a Pastor on the radio ask those who were filled with the Spirit to raise their hands; then asked those who wanted to be filled with the Spirit to repeat a prayer.  After the prayer he declared that everyone who prayed was now filled with the Spirit.

It's no wonder people are so disillusioned with "Christianity."

A lot of preachers say that anyone who believes in Jesus is "born again."  It fills the pews and collection plate, but it's not true.  It might make them "Christians," but it doesn't make them a child of God...even demons believe in God, and tremble (James 2:9)

Do not be deceived: Spiritual birth, like physical birth, can't be explained; any more than you can explain the taste of salt to someone who has never tasted salt; but that doesn't negate its importance.  Spiritual birth changes the way you think.  Before my illumination I rarely thought about God; after, I couldn't stop thinking about him.

When you're born again, you will have a hunger and thirst for God and his word and an insatiable desire to please him.  Obedience to God and his word will be the priority of your life; and sin will be anathema.

If this doesn't describe your life, you haven't been reborn Spiritually.  Sorry to be so blunt, but being reborn Spiritually is the single most important thing you can do.  As Jesus said, "Ye must be born again." 

It's not an option.

Until you're reborn Spiritually...nothing else matters.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth

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.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

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.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom

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?
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?
