PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS MINISTRIES: HELL IS FOR REAL

From John Collins Ministries: 

“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed, rather than having two hands, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched-where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’” Mark 9:43-44 (NKJV).

Jesus goes on to say the same of your foot and your eye, which if it were to cause you to sin, you should cut it off or pluck it out. That is a brutal truth that is said in order to make the hearer and the reader realize just how important it is for a person to seek to be obedient to God in this life and to not sin. It is also very important for every person living to realize the absolute truth of hell, that it is a place of torment and those that are judged worthy of deserving hell, do indeed go there and everyone who does go there will be there for eternity and the suffering will never stop.

That is not what people want to hear. It is fire and brimstone preaching that our grandparents listened to but we don’t want to hear it, right? There are even many so-called Christians who refuse to accept that existence of hell and have chosen instead to delude themselves and say that “their God” would never create a place of eternal torment and that “their God” is a loving God who would never hurt His children and that means that hell is just being separate from the presence of God, or it is just a metaphor, or it is symbolic of some other state in which we may find ourselves during life or temporarily after death but it is not eternal nor is it a final judgment of torture. That is just wrong thinking and as much as people do not want to hear it or accept the truth of it, hell is real, just as heaven is real.

You cannot have one without the other. There was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden and that means that there has been the choice of good and bad since the beginning. Yes, all that we do in life is a choice and it all leads to the ultimate day of reckoning for everyone. There will be a time in which all will matter and will determine where you spend eternity.

Are you going to be forever in heaven or in hell? Are your choices selfish ones, are your choices made with God and His will in mind and do you believe in the truth of the righteousness and truth of God, in the sacrifice of Jesus and in the available to you, through faith? These are things that you need to be aware of as you go through the day to day activities of your life, as you grow up, get a job, get married, have and raise children and do your best to be a person that can look yourself in the mirror in the morning and feel good about. Could you sit down with God and have a conversation knowing that He knows every single thought and feeling you have ever had and knows every single thing you have ever done alone and with every single person you have ever come into contact with?
Could you honestly sit down with God and trust that you have done all that you could to obey Him and not sit there justifying your life?

Don’t waste what time you have been given with denials that are only good to serve your own disobedience. God will not give up on you and you should not give up on you but you must know that you are only given a very limited amount of time here on earth.  You should live that life with purpose knowing that your priorities will indeed have you sitting down with God one day so that you don’t have to live with regret while suffering the torments of the damned for all eternity.

“For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.” Mark 9:49-50 (NKJV).

LOVE THAT CROSS, PASTOR JOHN

JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES, LOVE THAT CROSS!! CHOOSING HELL

From John Collins Ministries: A righteous choice,  the truth hurts

Just because you don't like hearing it doesn't make it untrue.
That is why they say the truth hurts.
Pastor John Collins

Teaching our children to know about Jesus and God begins at home.  No school can do it for us.  Satan has woven his lies to keep children from knowing that Jesus is there to help them, to care for them, and to protect them.  A few generations back, God was taken out of school because He was an offense to someone, and Christians stood by and allowed it.  In addition,  because those generations didn’t like hearing the truth, the fact of hell and its consequences was removed. (Pastor John Collins, 2018).

“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” Matthew 10:34-37 (NKJV).

These passages bring to mind a person choosing God over his family and that would be a righteous choice. It seems today that people won’t even choose to believe and are in denial about heaven and hell. If you truly believed in hell, would you send your children there? Would you willingly go if you knew the anguish and painful torment that you would have to endure?

It seems that there were a few rebellious generations who just didn’t like hearing about hell and damnation and all that would take them there, so when they grew up and became parents they chose to remove the warnings of hell from their parenting and leave the choice of belief up to their children. Just because you don’t like hearing it doesn’t make it untrue. That is why they say that the truth hurts. And this type of parenting and rebellion is literally choosing hell for yourself and sending your kids there too.

There are many who can only believe in what they can see for themselves and unfortunately their path to faith is a journey that is difficult to make but not impossible for with God all things are possible. We have got to wake up and stop willingly sending our loved ones to hell and doing everything in our power to join them.

When God says that something is a sin and will lead to the death of the soul, He is not lying. Let us stop being so stubborn and wake up and choose to hear Him. He didn’t send His Son here to die for us so that Jesus would die in vain. God sent Him so that He could save souls. Let us stop denying Him and let us start to obey Him. He is worthy of our love and our loyalty.

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.” Matthew 12:33 (NKJV).

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS: THE ROAD TO HELL.....

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: GOOD INTENTIONS DON'T CUT IT

The saying goes “the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.” Superficially, this can mean something to the effect that if you say you are going to do it, do it. If you promise to do it, then do it, or what you say and do is meaningless. Pastor John Collins of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries puts a more complete view on the saying:  You can have all the best intentions in the world, and even act on those intentions and do the right things for people, but if your heart isn’t focused on God and the salvation that is given by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, and getting closer to Them in your heart and soul, then all the good acts and intentions that you do throughout your life are meaningless, you are not going to make it to heaven, and hell is pretty full of people who had good intentions (paraphrased, Pastor John Collins).

Don’t be lazy in your faith, or have the expectation that you can confess your sins twenty minutes before you die so you can cover your bases.  Saying that you believe in Jesus Christ and God is empty unless you have the full commitment of your heart and the opportunity to act upon that faith.  The road to salvation begins in an instant, it takes a lifetime to continue the path, work out your faith, and face the tests and challenges that build the faith that begins with accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  It isn’t just giving lip service says Pastor John Collins.

“It is time to wake up and get right with God. God doesn’t fool around and God will not cease from being God but He will continue to be that great and almighty Lord that sees everything and everyone as they truly are and He will be the one who has the last laugh. It is not okay to take your life, your actions, your words and your feelings lightly. They all matter and they all will be taken into account when it comes to judging your soul. Each person will be judged and each person will either go up or go down and it really is that simple.” (Pastor John Collins, February, 2018).

Pastor John Collins is a down to earth, no nonsense evangelist who has been spreading revival of hope and faith across the United States for more than three years.  Pastor John Collins has a very enthusiastic style of preaching, with a “tell it like it is” attitude without the sugar coating of so many in pulpits today.  As he puts it, Pastor John Collins will grab you by the britches when he preaches. 

The Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ have been so twisted and altered in the past 2000 years, Pastor John Collins is determined to redeem the Gospel so that all can hear the word of Jesus as it was taught during the times of Jesus Christ’s ministry.  The fear of standing before the throne of God and being judged upon entering eternity is not being taught at all, instead prominent pastors preach prosperity through our tithes or that the Old Testament doesn’t matter, it’s been replaced by the New Testament, or if we say we were saved on December 25, 1977, we are always saved, and there is no need to seek daily forgiveness for our sins….all of this is wrong teachings of current day preachers, and one day, there will be an accounting says Pastor John Collins.

Pastor John Collins writes:

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28 (NKJV).

“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” Hebrews 10:31 (NKJV).

We live in dangerous times, as have all of those who ever walked this earth. It is a perilous thing to live without faith and it is more dangerous to live without belief in the Son of God than it is to live in a land filled with terrorists and civil unrest. People pay attention to what they can see and people will fear what they can sense can cause them harm but people don’t fear what they can’t see and when people walk without faith then they are blind and without the ability to perceive the danger to their souls.

It is not a time to be casual in your faith. It is time to wake up and get right with God. God doesn’t fool around and God will not cease from being God but He will continue to be that great and almighty Lord that sees everything and everyone as they truly are and He will be the one who has the last laugh. It is not okay to take your life, your actions, your words and your feelings lightly. They all matter and they all will be taken into account when it comes to judging your soul. Each person will be judged and each person will either go up or go down and it really is that simple.

You have no guarantee of tomorrow and you only get this one chance at life so take it seriously and don’t put off until another day your relationship with God. God sent Jesus to die for you and you should be thanking Jesus for the strength and obedience that was in His soul so that your soul could be saved. You should cherish and nurture your relationship with Jesus and praise God always. Come to know what is expected of you and do that. The rules are not going to change and the gospel must be obeyed just as Jesus has said. There will not be favorites given a pass because they are just so cute or so charming. There are lots of good people in hell today and there will be many more that follow. Do what you must so that you are not one of them.

“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.” John 14:23-24 (NKJV).

LOVE THAT CROSS PASTOR JOHN COLLINS
