Things Jesus Never Said #2


Jesus never said this. However, "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 4:16 (NIV) The attention should fall on the article adjective, "the". Here, "the" denotes only one way, only one truth, and only one life by which we may enter heaven. If a church fails to teach this doctrine, it is wrong and toxic to the believer. Does your church teach that Jesus Christ is the only way to enter heaven?

Things Jesus Never Said #1


Yes, Jesus never said this. The Gospel of Matthew does record Jesus saying, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (NIV)

The lackadaisical response of Christians today appalls me. Christians are too comfortable and Satan has them just where he wants them; in a church, being comfortable, doing nothing. Remember, Jesus did not call us to do nothing. He called us to be bold. He called us to be courageous. He called us to spread the Gospel.

Have you found yourself in a toxic church?


Have you found yourself in a toxic church?

Are you unsure of your next step?

Have you been hurt by toxic people?

Remember this:

He heals the 
brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
( Psalms 147:3) For; The Lord is close to the 
brokenhearted and saves those who are 
crushed in spirit. ( Psalms 34:18 )
