I Want to Know You More

The Holy Bible
If you are still curious why Jesus is necessary for your salvation, I challenge you to pick a Bible and read the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5); it won't take long. You can further read the book of John particularly John 14 and John 17 where he identifies the beauty of the promises to us.

I believe in my heart that you will realize that Jesus' teachings are superior to anything you have read and you will want to learn more. I have personally experienced this. Jesus said, "Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own." (John 7:17)

God's Love is Amazing

God wants you to know that He loves you so much and that He has great plans for you. Now He stands at the door and knocks. It is up to you to either open the door and pursue a personal relationship with God or ignore His knock and reject Him outright. The only way for God to gain entrance is through the door; and Jesus Christ is the door. God has given you the freewill to reach for the door and the decision is yours to make. (Deuteronomy 30:19)

The "good news" of salvation is delivered here, but will you continue to read and hear it? Will you be among the few who listened and believed in the message?

or

Will you be among the thousands who rejected the message before even hearing it because of their loyalty to the teachings of their inherited faith?

Jesus is calling you now, but will you come?

Your Good Works Cannot Save You

Your Good Works Cannot Save You
You attend the church mass,
You pray everyday,
You help those who are in need,
You serve in your community,
You religiously follow the church doctrines,
You obey God's laws, and
You did all the good deeds you can think of.

You feel pretty great about yourself. Certainly, you believe that on the day of judgment, God will weigh up all your good works, forgive your sins because you've done good, save you from hell and open the gates to heaven. Are you sure you can be saved by doing good works? How certain are you?

If you believe this then THINK again! You are being deceived by evil and have been an unsuspecting victim of his lies because the Bible tells us that good works cannot save you.

Why Is It That Good Works Cannot Save You?

Suppose you prepare an egg omelet. The eggs you cracked were rotten but you don't want to throw them away. To save the rotten eggs, you added fresh eggs to eliminate the rottenness. By doing so, did it really eliminate the eggs' rottenness?

Encounter With God - The Moment I Was Baptized With The Holy Spirit

The pastor laid his hands on my head and encouraged me to open my mouth ... nothing happened. Everyone around me was speaking in a language I could not understand; the words they speak are totally foreign to me. I checked myself and asked, "Is my faith not yet enough for God to accept me as His child?" Then I asked God, "Lord, what is lacking in me?"

While I was speaking in silence with my eyes closed, I saw blurry images of words and/or syllables. My ignorance made me think that maybe I will read the words I saw in my mind. I tried to read them but failed. The words were so unclear and they were moving so fast ... except one. That word was lenovo.

The pastor laid his hands again on my head. This time, I prayed to God, "Lord, you see my mind and my heart. If you think that I am now ready to receive you please accept me. I humble myself to you Lord. But if, for You, I am not yet ready and still need to learn Your ways, then Your will be done."

Suddenly, I felt the warmth from my head and
