PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: A CHANCE FOR SALVATION 1ST ..... for EVERYONE
Are you a fence sitter when it comes to declaring your faith? Do you hedge your bets, believing in a part
of this faith,
a bit of that doctrine,
a little of that religion? All in.
That is what God wants from us and
Pastor John Collins
of Love That Cross Ministries
and Pastor John Collins Ministries
tells us. All in, all of us, not part of our faith, part of our
heart, part of our souls. All
our heart, soul, mind and strength.
That is the first
and greatest commandment, it’s part of the Hebrew Shema, and
what Jesus Christ taught
when He walked the earth as a person 2000 plus years ago. Pastor
John Collins is determined to bring as many who
will come back to the Cross.
End times prophecies have been talked about since they were
first spoken millennia ago. The first
disciples expected them to happen any day, but they were wrong just as the “prophets”
of today are. No one knows said Jesus
Christ, and Pastor
John Collins preaches the very same thing. God wants as many as
who will to come home to Him, His children, His creations, His souls that
belong to Him. Right now, God isn’t happy with
us and He most certainly isn’t blessing the United
States because we have kicked Him out of schools, out of the
courts, out of families, out of our hearts and out of churches points out Pastor John Collins. God isn’t happy, but He hasn’t pulled the
proverbial plug….yet.
How selfish are those who
beg for the day
of rapture? Don’t you think
that God is holding back
so that people can actually be taught to know Him
and to know Jesus,
to give as many people as possible the chance at salvation
first, asks Pastor
John Collins?
“We need to take our faith and salvation seriously. We need to get this right for ourselves and each other. We cannot be half committed, somewhat devoted or undecided when it comes to being a follower of Christ. We need to give all, believe whole-heartedly and commit completely to living a life that is in obedience to Jesus and in submission to God. That is what ensures our eternal salvation with the reward of entry through heaven’s gates.” Pastor John Collins, April 2018.
It’s time to take faith seriously. It’s time to step back, look at ourselves and
our hearts and seek the hope that is Jesus Christ (Pastor
John Collins, paraphrased).
Pastor John Collins writes:
“And then many will be offended,
will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets
will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of
many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this
gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the
nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:10-14 (NKJV).
“But of that day and hour no one knows,
not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark
13:32 (NKJV).
Many are saying that we are nearing the end of times, that
Jesus will return soon, that the rapture is near and tribulation is upon us.
Jesus said that only the Father knows the time so it is impossible for anyone
to know when the end will come. Yet, with so many preachers teaching this and
so many eyes open to the happenings in the Middle East and so much attention
being drawn to prophecy and supposition, why are people not taking their faith
more seriously? Why is there not more people repenting and coming to the foot
of the cross?
When prophets were sent to Israel and Judah, they were not
always heard. The sad truth is the majority of the people clung to their ways,
their sin and their attachment to this world. Too many perished because of
their stubbornness and refusal to submit to God. Every day that God holds back
the judgment of this world is a day of mercy to us all. Each of those days is
an opportunity to shout from the rooftops that salvation is available to the
lost. Each day is filled with the hope that we will come to our senses and get
right with God.
We need to take our faith and salvation seriously. We need
to stop procrastinating and stop putting off changing our lives and our ways.
We need to get this right for ourselves and each other. We cannot be half
committed, somewhat devoted or undecided when it comes to being a follower of
Christ. We need to give all, believe whole-heartedly and commit completely to
living a life that is in obedience to Jesus and in submission to God. That is
what ensures our eternal salvation with the reward of entry through heaven’s
gates.
We all can do better, be better and become more Christ-like.
Each of us needs to be willing to alter our lives and purify our hearts. It is
not enough to say, “I am a work in progress.” We all need to take the steps to
rid our lives of sinful influence and to resist our temptations. We need to get
honest with ourselves about what we hide from the world, about what we don’t
admit and about what needs to change. Jesus is your strength and He wants you
to belong to Him. Do not deny yourself forever in heaven because you were
unsure or lazy in your faith. Even if you have doubts, call on Jesus in truth
and I know that those doubts will fade and the truth along with the hope of
salvation will bloom in your heart.
“Behold, I stand at the door and
knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and
dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me
on My throne, as I have overcome and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
Revelations 3:20-21 (NKJV).
LOVE THAT CROSS, PASTOR JOHN COLLINS
Pastor
John Collins tells us we all can do better. We need to go to church and “get some”….Jesus was
crucified so we could be justified, and we need to get on our knees and repent,
every day. Pastor John Collins is
the first to say that he knows he is a sinner, and that he will get on his
knees, ask for forgiveness every day. At
the end of the day, Pastor
John Collins says he gets on his knees and asks God
“did I handle every situation today correctly to glorify You?” Each day is an opportunity to get it right,
to get better.
Salvation
is by faith alone in Jesus
Christ, preaches Pastor John Collins. It is the effort to turn away from sin, to
not be like the world, to seek guidance from Jesus in everything
that we do – Pastor John Collins, Spring, 2018.
