- [Why Did Jesus Have To Die?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/04/why-did-jesus-have-to-die.html): THE PROBLEM We have all done things that are wrong and have failed to obey God’s laws. Because of this, we have been separated from God, our Creator. Separation from God is death, and by ourselves, we can do nothing to become united with God. WHY JESUS COULD HELP Jesus was not only a man; He was God’s unique Son. Because Jesus never disobeyed God and never sinned, only He can bridge the gap between the sinless God and sinful humanity. THE SOLUTION Jesus freely offered His life for us, dying on the cross in our place, taking all our […]
- [The Six Stages Of Jesus' Illegal Trial.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/03/the-six-stages-of-jesus-illegal-trial.html): Although Jesus’ trial lasted less than 18 hours, He was taken to six different hearings carefully controlled to accomplish His death. The verdict was predecided, but certain “legal” procedures were necessary. A lot of effort went into condemning and crucifying an innocent man. Jesus went through an unfair trial in our place so that we would not have to face a fair trial and receive the well-deserved punishment for our sins. The First Three Stages of Jesus’ Illegal Trial Before the Jewish Authorities: 1. Trial Before Annas (The Powerful Ex-High Priest).Because the office of high priest was for life, Annas […]
- [All Along I Thought I Was Serving God.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/03/all-along-i-thought-i-was-serving-god.html): Note: This is the third and final post in a series of three posts used with permission from Guest Author John Burton At http://www.johnburton.net/. Check out this lengthy but wildly troubling story of an encounter by John Mulinde, a leader with a world ministry on every continent except Antarctica. God told him, “If I had come today to take My Bride, you wouldn’t be part of that. I wouldn’t take you.” Here’s His Story: Then suddenly a bright light hit my eyes. My eyes were closed. I was on my knees with my head on the ground, but a bright […]
- [Unsaved Christians:  Do We Understand The Threat Of Sin In The Life Of Christians?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/03/unsaved-christians-do-we-understand-the-threat-of-sin-in-the-life-of-christians.html): Note: This is the first in a series of three posts used with permission from Guest Author John Burton at www.johnburton.net. There is a glorious salvation to be had, and the enemy has tainted powerful, life-giving theologies in an attempt to counterfeit them—and draw people away from the one true God. God’s passion is for people to be wildly in love with Him, and that is what the enemy is afraid of. Instead of radical intimacy and passionate obedience, people are falling for a lesser, false doctrine that communicates God’s apparent affirmation of them and affection for them—and it is […]
- [How To Avoid The Seven Woes That Guarantee God's Anger! ( Part 3 )](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/03/how-to-avoid-the-seven-woes-that-guarantee-gods-anger-part-3.html): (Continued From Part 2) Woe #7In Matthew 23:29-36, Jesus says:“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build tombs for the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous. And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started! You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? […]
- [How To Avoid The Seven Woes That Guarantee God's Anger! ( Part 2 )](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/03/how-to-avoid-the-seven-woes-that-guarantee-gods-anger-part-2.html): ( Continued From Part 1 ) In Matthew 23:23-24 Jesus says “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin.  But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.  You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.  You blind guides!  You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.” Woe # 4. Getting personally involved in every last detail in the practice of your religion and neglecting what is really important: justice, mercy and faith. In Matthew 23:25-26 Jesus says “Woe […]
- [How To Avoid The Seven Woes That Guarantee God's Anger! ( Part 1 )](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/03/how-to-avoid-the-seven-woes-that-guarantee-gods-anger-part-1.html): John 3:36 says:“Whoever believes in the Son (Jesus) has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son (Jesus) will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.” The above scripture verse says that God’s anger (wrath) does not apply to those who have accepted God’s Free Gift of Salvation (Jesus). But, for those who reject His Free Gift (Jesus), God’s anger (wrath) still applies. Choosing Jesus leads to eternal life in Heaven. Rejecting Jesus is a fatal decision that leads to death, and the following still applies. THE SEVEN WOES In Matthew 23:13-36, Jesus mentioned seven actions that guarantee God’s […]
- [The Judgment Seat Of Christ.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/10/the-judgment-seat-of-christ.html): According to the Bible, every human being will stand before Jesus Christ to receive judgment! THERE ARE TWO DISTINCT JUDGMENTS Revelation 20:15 (NIV) says:“Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” In this post, we will discuss the Judgment Seat of Christ. The Great White Throne Judgment only applies to Non-Believers and will be discussed in a later post. You don’t want to be included in that judgment! THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST At the Judgment Seat of Christ, there will be an exhaustive evaluation of how we lived […]
- [The Blessings Of Irritations.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/10/the-blessings-of-irritations.html): NOTE: This is a Guest Post used with permission from Gloria Thomas Anderson, LMSW at http://www.hearttones.com. Has anyone or anything irritated you recently? It seems no matter how determined you are to keep calm, cool and collected, something happens to ruffle your feathers. A nagging spouse, a whining child, an unrealistic boss, an impolite clerk, or somebody tailgating you when you drive—all can trigger that emotion called irritation. These kinds of annoyances can get under your skin sometimes and cause a joyous occasion to become an upsetting one. Many times these irritations are more prominent around the holidays. That is […]
- [Are You Ready?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/10/are-you-ready.html): READY FOR WHAT? THE COMING OF THE LORD (THE RAPTURE) 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (NIV) “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those […]
- [Is Your Light Shining Brightly?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/09/is-your-light-shining-brightly.html): Confronting the needs of others brings out various attitudes in us. Jesus used the story of the good but despised Samaritan to make clear what attitude was acceptable to Him. JESUS AND THE PARABLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN Luke 10:25-35 (NIV) says “25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with […]
- [Use God’s Armor To Resist Attacks.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/09/use-gods-armor-to-resist-attacks.html): We are engaged in a spiritual battle. All believers find themselves subject to Satan’s attacks because they are no longer on Satan’s side. For this reason, the Bible tells us to use every piece of God’s armor to resist Satan’s attacks and to stand true to God in the midst of those attacks. Listed below are the six pieces of God’s armor and their individual application. (For Scripture References, see Ephesians 6:10-17.) 1. BELT OF TRUTH Application: Satan fights with lies, and sometimes his lies sound like the truth; but only believers have God’s truth, which can defeat Satan’s lies. […]
- [Salvation By Faith In Jesus Christ.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/09/salvation-by-faith-in-jesus-christ.html): Salvation by faith in Jesus Christ sounds too easy for many people. They would rather think that they must do something to save themselves. Through this kind of thinking, their religion becomes one of self-effort that leads either to disappointment or pride, but finally to eternal death. RELIGION BY SELF-EFFORT 1. Goal: Please God by our own good deeds. 2. How: Practice, diligent service, discipline, and obedience, in hope of rewards. 3. Power: Good, honest effort through self-determination. 4. Control: Self-motivated, self-control. 5. Results: Chronic guilt, apathy, depression, failure, constant desire for approval. SALVATION BY FAITH 1. Goal: Trust in […]
- [Distorted Christianity Versus True Christianity.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/09/distorted-christianity-versus-true-christianity.html): Almost from the beginning there were forces at work within Christianity that could have destroyed or sidetracked the movement. Of these, three created many problems then and have continued to reappear in other forms even today. These three Distortions Of Christianity are contrasted in this post to True Christianity. DISTORTION # 1: JUDAIZED CHRISTIANITY 1. Their Definition Of Christianity: Christians are Jews who have recognized Jesus as the promised Savior. Therefore, any Gentile desiring to become a Christian must first become a Jew. 2. Their Genuine Concern: Having a high regard for the Scriptures and God’s choice of Jews as […]
- [How Can Our Prayers Go Unanswered?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/08/how-can-our-prayers-go-unanswered.html): As demonstrated by the following scriptures, this question has been asked for many centuries. Job 31:35 (NIV) says “Oh, that I had someone to hear me! I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser put his indictment in writing.” Psalm 13:1 (NIV) says “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Habakkuk 1:2 (NIV) says “How long, Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save?” To answer the question “How Can Our Prayers […]
- [Principles Of Confrontation.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/08/principles-of-confrontation.html): Sometime rebuke is necessary, but it must be used with caution. The purpose of any rebuke, confrontation or discipline is to help people, not hurt them. METHODS TO USE AND SCRIPTURE REFERENCES 1. BE FIRM AND BOLD. 2 Corinthians 7:9 (NIV) says “yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.” 2 Corinthians 10:2 (NIV) says “I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I […]
- [Do Not Judge Or Slander Others!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/08/do-not-judge-or-slander-others.html): DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS Matthew 7:1-2 (NASB) says “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.” James 4:11-12 (NASB) says “Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able […]
- [Making Choices In Sensitive Issues.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/08/making-choices-in-sensitive-issues.html): Making Choices with Christ in Mind All of us make hundreds of choices every day. Most choices have no right or wrong attached to them—like what you wear or what you eat. But we always face choices that carry a little more weight. We don’t want to do wrong, and we don’t want to cause others to do wrong, so how can we make such choices? Before Making Your Choice, Ask Yourself These Questions: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (NASB) says: “Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.Let all that you do be done in […]
- [Christians, Don't Give Up!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/08/christians-dont-give-up.html): Christians, Purpose, and Discipline Christians were never promised an easy life. Instead, Bible scripture constantly reminds us that we must have a purpose and a plan because there will be difficult times, and Satan will attack us. Winning a race requires purpose and discipline. The Christian life takes hard work, self-denial, and grueling preparation. As Christians, we are running toward our heavenly reward. The essential disciplines of prayer, Bible study, and worship equip us to run with vigor and stamina. Don’t merely observe from the grandstand or the pew; don’t just turn out to jog a couple of laps each […]
- [How To Get Victory Over Worry!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/07/how-to-get-victory-over-worry.html): Worry: What We Need to Know Worry often stems from: God wants us to live in peace and contentment, yet many people today are weighed down by concerns about adversities, disasters, wars, diseases, and more. We live in a world with conditions that easily stir worry, and this can make it hard for God’s Word to have an impact on us. Let’s remember that God is in control, and we can cast our cares on Him. 5 Things About Worry That We Need to Know Matthew 6:25 (NASB):“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your […]
- [Wisdom...Do You Have It?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/07/wisdom-do-you-have-it.html): What Is Wisdom? According to the dictionary, wisdom is: Consider the Following from Proverbs (Chapters 3, 4, 8, and 9) The Person Who Has Wisdom: The Benefits of Having Wisdom: End of Post
- [Always Put Your Trust In God!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/07/always-put-your-trust-in-god.html):   Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASB) says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 16:20 (NASB) says “He who gives attention to the word will find good, And blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.” Proverbs 28:25 (NASB) says “An arrogant man stirs up strife, But he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.” Proverbs 29:25 (NASB) says “The fear of man brings a snare, But he who trusts in the Lord will be exalted.” Leaning has the […]
- [God Disciplines His Children.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/07/god-disciplines-his-children.html): Hebrews 12:5-6 (NIV) says “And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, ‘My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.’” Note: The above reference to “son” includes both male and female. Hebrews 12:7-11 (NIV) says “Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and […]
- [Are You Born Again (Saved)?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/06/are-you-born-again-saved.html): Be Sure of Your Salvation Jesus Teaches Nicodemus About Being Born Again John 3:1-3 (NIV): “Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.’Jesus replied, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.'” Understanding Our Need for Salvation Romans 3:23 (NIV): “For all have […]
- [What Is The Character Of A True Christian?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/06/what-is-the-character-of-a-true-christian.html): CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF GOOD PEOPLE. Romans 16:2 (NIV) says “I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.” CHRISTIANS ARE NOT WORLDLY IN THEIR ACTIVITIES, ATTITUDES OR SPEECH. Ephesians 5:3-4 (NIV) says “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or […]
- [Do You Have A Worldly Attitude?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/06/do-you-have-a-worldly-attitude.html): 1 John 2:15-16 (NIV) says “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.” Some people think that worldliness is limited to external behavior – the people we associate with, the places we go, the activities we enjoy. Worldliness is also internal because it begins in the heart and is characterized by three attitudes: 1. The Lust Of The […]
- [Sins Versus Signs Of Love.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/06/sins-versus-signs-of-love.html): LIST # 1 SINS OF SEXUAL ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR: Sexual Immorality; Impurity; Lust; Evil Desires; Greed. Colossians 3:5 (NIV) says “Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.” This Scripture tells us to “Put To Death” all these sins of sexual attitude and behavior. They are particularly destructive because of what they do to destroy any group or church. LIST # 2 SINS OF SPEECH: Anger; Rage; Malice; Slander; Filthy Language. Colossians 3:8 (NIV) says “But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as […]
- [The True Gospel Versus False Gospels.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/05/the-true-gospel-versus-false-gospels.html): Below Are The Marks Of The True Gospel And The Marks Of The False Gospels. 1. MARKS OF THE TRUE GOSPEL Teaches That The Source Of The Gospel Is God. Galatians 1:11-12 (NIV) says “I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.” Knows That Life Is Obtained Through Death; We Trust In The God Who Loved Us And Died For Us So That We Might Die To Sin […]
- [Vices And Virtues.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/05/vices-and-virtues.html): The Bible mentions many specific actions and attitudes that are either vices (wrong) or virtues (right). We all have evil desires and we can’t ignore them. In order for us to follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we must deal with them decisively (crucify them). Those who ignore them or refuse to deal with them reveal that they have not received the gift of the Spirit that leads to a transformed life. Galatians 5:21 (NIV) says “Those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Review the vices list below and take a personal and frequent inventory. Have […]
- [Are You Stretched Past Your Breaking Point?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/05/are-you-stretched-past-your-breaking-point.html): NOTE: This is a Guest Post used with permission from Gloria Thomas Anderson, LMSW at http://www.hearttones.com. Are you currently facing something in your life that is really testing your faith in God? Does it seem like constant and steady bombardments of challenges keep knocking at your door? It may be work related or a relationship or a family issue. It may be financial or a health concern. It may be grief for a loss that is near to your heart. Sometimes the testing can try you in such a way that you question whether or not you will be able […]
- [Two Choices.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/05/two-choices.html): Note: This post was sent to us by email and, unfortunately, the author is unknown. We thought it was so good that we wanted to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.             WHAT WOULD YOU DO?….YOU MAKE THE CHOICE. Don’t look for a punch line, there isn’t one. My question is: Would you have made the same choice? At a fund raising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. […]
- [God Loves You.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/05/god-loves-you.html):   Note: This post was sent to us by email and, unfortunately, the author is unknown. We thought it was so good that we wanted to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. THE FOLLOWING ARE TWO STORIES THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE GOD’S LOVE FOR YOU. STORY # 1 Two brothers were starting in a new school and the teacher asked them for their birth dates. One brother gave his and the other brother gave his as the same year but three weeks later. The teacher looked at them and said “Now, wait a […]
- [Come To God Today!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/04/come-to-god-today.html): ARE YOU: Too Young To Come To God? Too Old To Come To God? Too Tired To Come To God? Too Busy To Come To God? Too Smart To Come To God? Too Happy To Come To God? Too Late To Come To God?   Note: None Of The Above Are Legitimate Reasons Not To Come To God Today. Isaiah 55:6-7 (NIV) says “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy […]
- [Being Your Own Best Friend.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/04/being-your-own-best-friend.html): NOTE: This is a Guest Post used with permission from Gloria Thomas Anderson, LMSW at http://www.hearttones.com.   A friend of mine once told me that she only felt “worthy” when there was a new goal to accomplish. Rather than feeling successful after completing a project, she felt sad. Another friend shared that she found herself self-sabotaging her efforts when things were going well because she somehow felt “unworthy” of success and was afraid that others might see her imperfections if she were to achieve her goals. There’s an old English proverb that says, “You may find the worst enemy or […]
- [Fight The Good Fight Of Faith To Obtain Eternal Life With Christ.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/04/fight-the-good-fight-of-faith-to-obtain-eternal-life-with-christ.html): 1 Timothy 6:12 (NASB) says “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” BE WELL BALANCED AND SELF-DISCIPLINED 1 Peter 5:8 (AMP) says “Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour.” BE ALERT AND CAUTIOUS Lions attack sick, young, or struggling animals. They choose victims who are alone or not alert. Here we are warned to watch out for Satan when […]
- [Let Jesus Carry Your Load.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/04/let-jesus-carry-your-load.html): LIVE A FRUITFUL AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE To live a fruitful and productive life, cast all your cares, concerns, anxieties and worries on God. He is the only one who can solve them. Continue to pray and fight the good fight of faith knowing that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Philippians 4:13 1 Peter 5:7 (AMP) says “Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].” TRUST GOD FULLY WITH YOUR […]

We thought it was so good that we wanted to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.   THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST REWARDING POST YOU WILL READ IN 2016. As you read this post, put yourself in this situation and use your imagination to think about an elderly relative, family friend or yourself. Sometimes the things that seem trivial to us may turn out to be a great blessing to someone else! THE CAB RIDE I arrived […]
- [Hallelujah! He Is Risen!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/03/hallelujah-he-is-risen.html): JESUS WAS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV) says “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” God Himself provided the only sacrifice (Jesus) who could atone for the sins of His people. God’s perfect Son fulfilled God’s perfect requirement of God’s perfect law. Without the sacrificial death of Christ, we would still be in our sins, unforgiven, unredeemed, unsaved, and unloved. But, thank God, the story of Jesus Christ did not end with His death. THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 […]
- [Are You Growing Spiritually?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/03/are-you-growing-spiritually.html): IF YOU ARE SAVED, THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS IN YOU. John 14:16-17 (NASB) says “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.” YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST. 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NASB) says “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” […]
- [Mountain Moving Faith.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/03/mountain-moving-faith.html): Note: We received “Mountain Moving Faith” by email and unfortunately, the author is unknown. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Mark 11:23-24 (NIV) says “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” A SHORT STORY OF MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH A small congregation in the foothills of […]
- [15 Things For Christians To Consider.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/03/15-things-for-christians-to-consider.html): 1. Because God is Creator, Lord, Savior, and Deliverer, He is worthy of all our trust and praise. 2. Because God is faithful and His Word is true and dependable, we can rejoice and sing, giving thanks and praise to Him. 3. God pays attention to those who call on Him. Whether God offers escape from trouble or help in times of trouble, we can be certain that He already hears and acts on behalf of those who love Him. 4. When our enemies are unjust and lie about us, even when we do good to them, we can appeal […]
- [What True Love Really Is.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/03/what-true-love-really-is.html): John 3:16 (NIV) says “For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” 1 John 3:16 (NIV) says “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.” 1 John 4:7 (NIV) says “Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” TRUE LOVE REQUIRES SACRIFICE: True love may require us to offer (sacrifice) something valuable for God and others. 9 SIGNIFICANT CHARACTERISTICS […]
- [What Does Love Have To Do With It?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/02/what-does-love-have-to-do-with-it.html): NOTE: This is a Guest Post used with permission from Gloria Thomas Anderson, LMSW at http://www.hearttones.com.   Love can be viewed as a relative term and its definition depends on who you ask and their perspective. You may agree that love is demonstrative—not just what you say, but what you do. Sometimes it’s seen as an expectation, based upon a predetermined mindset that may not be realistic. For example, take a person who displays their love to another and expects that person to reciprocate in the same way (i.e., buying gifts, verbal affections, etc.) When that doesn’t happen, the giver […]
- [Pride And The Road To Ruin.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/02/pride-and-the-road-to-ruin.html): Pride is part of human nature, is a very dangerous sin, and has practically wrecked the human race. Proverbs 16:18 (NKJV) says “Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.” 5 WAYS PRIDE DEVASTATES LIFE 1. PRIDE DEFIES GOD. Proverbs 6:16-19 (NKJV) says “These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.” Proverbs 16:5 (NKJV) […]
- [The Heart Matters.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/02/the-heart-matters.html): NOTE: This is a Guest Post used with permission from Ilene Sims of Kansas City, Kansas. The older I get, I don’t take things so seriously; not like I used to. I now have this incredible opportunity to laugh at myself and enjoy things. Growing up in a traditional church – you always had to be serious about things. The teachings were great, but in some ways those teaching were like a pendulum that went too far to the right, or too far to the left. We were not permitted to wear lipstick, nor pants, yet when I worked at […]

How Would You Answer The Following Questions? 1.

Have You Left Your First Love? Revelation 2:4 (NASB) says “But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” 3. Do Church Services Bore You?

Matthew 8:8 (MEV) says “The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant will be healed.”      BASED ON “SPEAK THE WORD ONLY”, THE FOLLOWING IS “MY NEVER AGAIN LIST”. NEVER AGAIN WILL I CONFESS “I CAN’T” Philippians 4:13 (MEV) says “I can do all things because of Christ who strengthens me.” NEVER AGAIN WILL I CONFESS LACK Philippians 4:19 (MEV) says “But my God shall supply […]

- [Time Marches On!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/01/time-marches-on.html): Note: The following post establishes how fast the years can fly by. We received “Time Marches On!” by email and unfortunately, the author is unknown. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. You know…time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years. It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it […]
- [The High Priority Of Soul Winning.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/01/the-high-priority-of-soul-winning.html): God takes “Soul Winning” very seriously. As Christians, we are commanded to reach out and compel the lost to get saved. We are also to teach the people we lead to Christ to do the same. Mark 16:15 (NASB) says “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation’”. Acts 1:8 (NASB) says “but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” Proverbs 11:30 […]

We received “The Seed That Wouldn’t Grow.” by email and. unfortunately, the author is unknown. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.  A successful older business man knew it was time to choose a successor to take over his business. So, he called all the executives in his company together and announced it is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you. I am going to give each one […]
- [What Is Meant By Salvation?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/01/what-is-meant-by-salvation.html): Salvation is a gift, pure and simple. God gives us Salvation on the basis of what Jesus Christ has done for us and welcomes us into the Kingdom. How do we receive this gift? We receive it by believing that what God’s Word (The Holy Bible) says is true. What has Jesus done that God should do this for us? 1. Jesus came to earth and lived a life of perfect obedience before God. 2. Jesus died on the cross for us, bearing in His own body the just punishment of God for our sins. God’s justice was satisfied with […]
- [Fear Not!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/01/fear-not.html): With God’s protection and guidance, we should be able to conquer fears and live a life full of courage.

THE DEVIL HAS MANY SCHEMES DESIGNED TO INSTILL “FEAR”. The following is a 31 day list of scriptures concerning “Fear Not”. To be properly armed against the devil, it is recommended that you read each day’s scriptures, meditate on them, and then write, type or copy and paste these scriptures […]
- [Happy New Year!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/01/happy-new-year.html): NOTE: This is a Guest Post used with permission from Gloria Thomas Anderson, LMSW at http://www.hearttones.com. Traditionally, we say and hear this phrase repeatedly and it sounds good to our ears, especially if last year wasn’t so happy for us. This past week, a gentleman started to talk to me about his New Year’s plans while we were waiting in line at the grocery store. He beamed as he spoke about his dream that had been delayed for many years. “It’s time”, he said. “I’ve had so many disappointments and setbacks, but this year I know that a change for […]
- [It's Time To Draw Near To God!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/12/its-time-to-draw-near-to-god.html): We are living through some very troubled, stressful and often depressing times. ISIS terrorists are raging. The job of our devilish enemy is to wear out the saints. It seems like a new hoard of demons have been released on this world to kill and destroy. Only Satan would behead people – not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. As Christians, we need to use all the help that is available to us. For our own good, now is the time for us to draw near to God and develop a strong relationship with Him. James 4:7-8 (MEV) says […]
- [What Is God's Word (The Bible) Like?](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/12/what-is-gods-word-the-bible-like.html): GOD’S WORD IS LIKE A FIRE Jeremiah 5:14 (NASB) says “Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, because you have spoken this word, behold, I am making My words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it will consume them.” GOD’S WORD IS LIKE A SWORD Hebrews 4:12 (NASB) says “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” GOD’S WORD IS LIKE […]

They arrived in early October, full of hope and determination. The church, however, was run-down and in need of major repairs. Undeterred, they set a goal to have everything ready for their first service on Christmas Eve. They worked tirelessly—repairing pews, plastering walls, and painting. By December 18, they […]
- [Don't Stop Swinging The Hammer.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/12/dont-stop-swinging-the-hammer.html): Note: We received the following in an email and thought it presented “A Message On Healing” so well that we want to share it with you. Unfortunately, the author is unknown. It’s a fairly long read but well worth your time and effort. When I was a child my parents purchased a home from my grandparents. It was the home my Dad grew up in, so it was obviously an older home that was very well established. In other words, it had been built onto repeatedly over the years and it seemed like every square inch of the lot had […]

Time cannot be bought because it is not for sale, but it is something you have right now that is more precious than gold or silver. During the holiday season, people can spend a lot of time and money buying the right gifts for all the wrong reasons. […]
- [7 Myths About Getting Into Heaven.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/11/7-myths-about-getting-into-heaven.html): Over generations, because of lack of knowledge or the ability to read, people have been falsely led into believing that there are many ways to heaven. We are publishing this post to expose these 7 myths (lies from the devil). THE 7 MYTHS Being a member in good standing of the right church, denomination, or religion will get you into heaven. FALSE!

- [Bible Books Of Genesis And Revelation Compared.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/10/bible-books-of-genesis-and-revelation-compared.html): The Bible records for us the beginning of the world and the end of the world and tells the story of mankind from the beginning to the end. In the pages of the Bible, you will find information about mankind’s fall into sin, the redemption and God’s ultimate victory over evil. FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END GENESIS REVELATION God created Light (so there was light and darkness). The Light is no longer needed because the Glory of God gives the light. Satan is victorious.

- [10 Things We Know About Eternity.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/10/10-things-we-know-about-eternity.html): The Bible devotes much more space to convincing people that eternal life is available as a free gift from God than it does to describing eternity. The Bible’s brief descriptions of eternity are more like hints since they use terms and ideas from our present experience to describe what we will not fully grasp until we are there ourselves. The following references hint at aspects of what our future will be like if we have accepted Christ’s gift of eternal life. 1. IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) says “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has […]

Its many false teachers and preachers would like us to believe that: If we are good enough; If we do enough good works; If we give enough to the right causes; If we practice the right religion, Or If we belong to the right church; God will open up the doors of Heaven and let us in. And, they would also like us to believe that a kind and loving God would […]

- [The Last Days:Satan Has Stepped Up His Persecution.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/10/the-last-dayssatan-has-stepped-up-his-persecution.html): Satan (the Devil) has begun to step up his persecution because he knows that his time is short. We are living in the last days and Satan’ s work has become more intense. Even though he is very powerful, as we can see by the condition of the world, he is always under God’s control. One of the reasons God allows Satan to work evil and bring temptation is so that those who pretend to be Christ’s followers will be weeded out from Christ’s true believers. Knowing that the last great confrontation with Jesus is near, Satan is desperately trying […]
- [The 26 Names Of Jesus In Revelation.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/10/the-26-names-of-jesus-in-revelation.html): Scattered among the very graphic images of the Book Of Revelation is a collection of 26 names for Jesus.

THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD: Revelation 1:5 (NIV) says “and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

- [Because He Lives I Can Face Tomorrow.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2015/09/because-he-lives-i-can-face-tomorrow.html): “Because He Lives I Can Face Tomorrow” is a beautiful gospel hymn written by Bill and Gloria Gaither in the Spring of 1970. The 1960’s was an era that was confusing and disorderly with a quantum shift in values that was deeply disturbing to Bill and Gloria. They had begun to wonder if God hadn’t given up on the world. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES WERE REALLY BOTHERING THEM: The educational system was being penetrated with the “God is dead” idea. Drug use and racial tension were increasing. The older generation felt that the country’s best days were behind them and their […]

Tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flooding seem to be happening in places that usually do not experience these conditions, but such is a metaphor of life—unpredictable. One recent morning, I decided to take a walk, although the sky was overcast and a light drizzly rain was falling. With umbrella in hand, I started on the mile-long walking trail that has several hills and winding paths. I began to think about a situation that […]

After he had spent everything, a severe famine struck the country, and he began to be in need. So he hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his […]

While some still continue this mission abroad, America has now itself become a mission field in desperate need of spiritual renewal.

This verse expresses two kinds of joy: inward joy that comes from knowing and trusting God, and happiness that comes as a result of pleasant circumstances. Inward joy is steady as long as we […]

- [A Catastrophe In America!](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/12/a-catastrophe-in-america.html): SOME SAY JESUS IS NO LONGER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON IN AMERICA!

- [The Death Of Common Sense In America.](https://www.primelifeministries.com/2016/11/the-death-of-common-sense-in-america.html): Note: This is an Americanized version of an article that was originally published in the London Times. Because of what is currently happening in America, we decided to republish it. OBITUARY OF COMMON SENSE No one really knows how old Common Sense was when he died in America. Common Sense cultivated sound ideas like: COMMON SENSE GETS SICK When a 6-year-old boy was charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate. Think of the criminal activity involved in that—a 5 or 6-year-old boy kissing a 5 or 6-year-old girl. They may be two of the few human beings left who […]

Unfortunately, the author is unknown. I had walked life’s path with an easy tread,Had followed where comfort and pleasure led;And then by chance in a quiet place,I met my Master face to face. With station and rank and wealth for goal,Much thought for body but none for soul,I had entered to win this life’s mad race –When I met my Master face to face.
