Series:

“You will say that these are very small sins and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the enemy (God). It does not matter how small the sins are, provided that their cumulative effect is to keep the man away from the Light… Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without turnings, without milestones,

Please turn in your Bibles to our text passage in Galatians chapter 3. We will be reading verses 10-13. We’re going to have a trial this morning, and you are going to be judged. “Well,” you say, “Pastor Voegtlin, if I knew that I would not have come.” Well, we’ll make sure that the trial is as fair as it possibly can be. You will not only be judged, but you will be the judge. Forget that you are in church, if you can. Forget the rest of the congregation. Picture yourself on the witness stand, and try to imagine me

Psalm 90 is the oldest psalm of all 150, and it was written by Moses.  Let’s begin reading at verse 1.  “Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.  Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.”   He’s talking about death here.  “For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.”  Here again, death is pictured as a

If you will, please turn in your Bibles to Habakkuk 3:2.  Habakkuk comes on the scene unannounced. Who he is, what tribe he’s from, what family he was born into, we’re not told.  We don’t know very much about the time of his ministry either.  His name is obscure.  But scholars tell us that his name means an “ardent embracing,” or a “wrestling.”  And there’s no doubt that he wrestled with God.  As you look through this short book, over and over again we see him begging God to send revival, begging God to rend the heavens. I believe that this

Bible Text: Luke 13:3 |

Series:

My text is taken from Luke 13:3, “...except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” God commands all men everywhere to repent.  The reason for this is that no man will ever go to heaven without repentance, and every man outside Christ must repent or go to hell.  The New Testament is a handbook on repentance.  Continually, as you go through the New Testament, it urges people to repent and shows people their need of repentance. God loves us.  We all know His love is higher than the highest mountain, deeper than the deepest sea, and is as unending as eternity.  God is
