We are all human. We all have doubts and fears. At times we may even doubt our salvation. Satan has many devices in his arsenal with which to deceive us–friends, dreams, television, books, the Internet–even so-called spiritual leaders. If we begin to doubt whether or not we’re truly saved, we need to clear our minds and go back to Scripture and see what it says.

Will I Make it to Heaven?
Many feel as though they’ve sinned too much to ever make it to heaven. Or they feel they’ve committed the unpardonable sin. They worry and worry and worry that they’ll spend eternity in the fires of hell. What does the Bible teach about this? Can the enormity of our sins keep us out of heaven?

Seek God Continually
My life is falling apart. I was a drug addict for 12 years. I lost it all, even my children and my home. Prior to that, I was part of a violent marriage that ended when my husband went to jail for nearly killing me. Jesus healed me from drug addiction five years ago but I cannot seem to get close to Him. It’s like trying to talk to a brick wall. I recently lost my mom. My life went from bad to worse. I have no friends and my sisters could care less about me. My body is weak from all the drug abuse. My car is broken down and I have no money to fix it. This may be a small thing but it feels like the last straw. What can I do to get close to Jesus? I don’t read my Bible because my mind races and I cannot concentrate. But I know Jesus is the only answer. I’m stuck.

First Time
Here we have a thought-provoking Christian poem called First Time, and ironically it’s also the first time Ben has ever submitted a poem to us! It really made me think about God’s feelings as He watches over us and waits for us from the moment of conception. How must it make Him feel when He has so much to give us and we decide to ignore Him? How would it feel if my own daughter rejected me? Anyway, these are the thoughts I had as I was reading the poem. Check it out for yourself by clicking the link below.

The Value of a Shekel
We got a question a while back about how much the 30 pieces of silver Judas received to betray Jesus would be worth in today’s currency. We answered it, then another person wrote us to ask us how we could have possibly come up with the answer we did. Well, here’s our answer to how we came up with our answer!

Reshmi’s Christian Testimony
Reshmi’s testimony starts like this:
I was born and raised a Hindu. My mother was a very devout Hindu woman and her faith instilled in us a strong belief in God. I grew up, earnestly believing in the gods that my religion offered and never found a reason to look beyond my religion.
When Reshmi’s gods didn’t answer her prayers, she turned to the Jesus of the Bible. And guess what? He did answer her prayers. Not to say that Jesus always gives us what we want. But He does let us know that He’s there. If we seek Him, we find Him. He makes Himself known to us and we can walk with Him from day to day.

Hebrews 6:4-8
Hebrews 6:4-8 and Luke 9:62 seem quite similar. These passages seem to say that once a person looks back, or falls into sin, that there is no longer any hope for redemption. Is this true? Click the link below to find out what we think.
