The $64,000 Question

Ray Evans • May 06, 2020
Today, with game shows giving away a million dollars, $64,000 doesn't seem like much; but in 1955 when the show first aired, it was a bunch of money (about $600k today).

The term,"$64,000 Question," became synonymous with a hard question to answer.

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?

What did Jesus say? "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)

If you don't keep the commandments, you don't really love Jesus; and, if you don't love Jesus, why would God let you "abide" in his tabernacle?

Lets make one thing perfectly clear...irrespective of what you hear from the pulpit, life and blessing do not come from belief in Jesus; they are the result of obedience to God. (Deuteronomy 30:19) 

Do you really think God will reward liars, cheats and thieves with eternal life?  Do you really think he wants disobedient people ruling his kingdom?  Do you really think you can live a sinful lifestyle and hear, "Well done good and faithful servant."

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom.  As Jesus said, "Ye must be born again."

It's really not that difficult to understand. 

When you're truly "born again," you will not sin willfully; and pleasing God thru obedience, will become the priority of your life.

Of course, 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.

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?

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.

Are These Scales Right?

I lost a half pound this weekend. Ordinarily I would be okay with losing a half pound; I mean one to two pounds is a reasonable dietary loss for a week, so a half pound for three days is about right; but this was no ordinary diet and the expectations were high.
