Comedian George Carlin dead at age 71

I saw in the headlines that another famous person has passed away - comedian George Carlin.
I remember hearing a few minutes of this man's act on television years ago. I remember that he made fun of Christ, and of all who believe in Him. Now, George Carlin believes in Christ, and he believes every word of the Bible. Now, George Carlin believes that Jesus died for our sins. The only problem is that it's too late for him.
By the testimony of his own lips, I have to believe that George Carlin never accepted Christ as Saviour. Oh how he wishes he would have!
Now, he will spend eternity thinking back on the times he ridiculed believers and made fun of God. Now, he will look back at all the opportunities he had to accept Christ and long for another chance, but that chance won't come for George Carlin. It's too late for him.
Let's not think for a moment that God is happy that George Carlin is in Hell. The Bible says that God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
The Son of man came to seek and to save George Carlin. For God so loved George Carlin, that He gave His only begotten Son so that George Carlin could be saved if only he had believed. God's grace was sufficient to save him, and God's mercy was available to forgive him, if only he had believed and accepted Jesus.
Let's remember that God loved George Carlin just as much as he loves us. Let's remember that God's heart is grieved every time someone dies without Christ.
Should not our hearts be grieved as well? George Carlin won't get another chance, but what about that person that was rude when you tried to witness to them? What about that person that threw down the tract and laughed at you? What about that person that slammed the door? If they are still breathing, they have another chance. Will you go back, or will you give up? It's clear that God would have us go back. God is not willing that any should perish. They are the reason that Jesus laid down His life.

Salvation Message for the Precious People of Croatia

I have created a separate blog so that I could post this salvation message permanently:
http://inwhomwehaveredemption-croatia.blogspot.com/

Kada umreš, znaš li 100% sigurno da li ćeš ići u nebo?

Kao što je ljudima određeno jedanput umrijeti, a nakon toga dolazi Sud.
(Poslanica Hebrejima 9,27)

I TI SE MOŽEŠ SPASITI I ZNATI TO!

Ovdje su 4 stvari koje moraš znati prije nego se možeš spasiti:

1. TI SI GREŠNIK.
“Nema pravednoga, ni jednoga...” Poslanica Rimljanima 3,10
“Jer su svi sagriješili i ostali bez slave Božje,” PoslanicaRimljanima 3,23

2. POSTOJI KAZNA ZA TVOJE GRIJEHE.
“Jer je plaća za grijeh smrt, ...” Poslanica Rimljanima 6,23a
“A smrt i pakao bili su bačeni u jezero ognjeno. To je druga smrt.” Otkrivenje 20,14

3. ISUS JE UMRO I PLATIO KAZNU ZA TVOJE GRIJEHE NUDEĆI TI SPASENJE KAO BESPLATAN DAR.
“Ali Bog pokazuje svoju ljubav prema nama tako što je Krist, dok smo još bili grešnici, umro za nas.” Poslanica Rimljanima 5,8
“...a dar Božji je život vječni po Isusu Kristu, Gospodinu našemu.” Poslanica Rimljanima 6,23b

4. MORAŠ PRIHVATITI DAR VJEČNOG ŽIVOTA NA BIBLIJSKI NAČIN.
“Jer ako ustima svojim priznaješ Gospodina Isusa i u srcu svome povjeruješ da ga je Bog uskrsnuo od mrtvih, bit ćeš spašen.” Poslanica Rimljanima 10,9
“Jer: Svaki koji prizove ime Gospodnje, bit će spašen.” Poslanica Rimljanima 10,13

Vjeruj Kristu kao svojem Spasitelju i sada moli ovu jednostavnu molitvu:

“Dragi Gospodine, priznajem da sam grešnik i trebam tvoje spasenje. Vjerujem da je Isus umro na križu i platio za moje grijehe. Oprosti mi moje grijehe, uđi u moje srce i spasi moju dušu.”

Za sigurnost svoga spasenja čitaj Evanđelje po Ivanu 5,24 i 5,11-13

Dragi prijatelju, ako si molio ovu molitvu slobodno nam piši na našu adresu ili se javi telefonom i mi ćemo ti poslati besplatnu literaturu koja će ti pomoći u kršćanskom rastu.

Tim Russert, Catholic, dead at 58

The Headlines Read, "Tim Russert, Catholic, dead at 58".

My heart aches for this man's family. I can't help but think of them as they spend their first Father's Day without him.
But, as when anyone famous dies, I immediately begin to think about where they may be spending their eternity.
It is well known that Tim Russert was a devoted Catholic. It is also well-known that Catholicism teaches many things contrary to the Word of God. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The Bible also says in Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:, and in Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
It is very clear in the Bible that unless you realize you are a hell-deserving sinner and accept Jesus Christ by faith as your Saviour you cannot go to heaven.
The pope is not God. There is no purgatory. We should not be worshiping Mary or the so-called saints. The Lord's supper is done "in remembrance" - not for salvation. No one can forgive sins but God, and "Ye must be born again".
Where will Tim Russert, devoted Catholic, spend his eternity?

Trip To Croatia - May 2008

I was blessed to be able to take a trip to Croatia to see my friends, Johnny Leslie and his family. They are the only Independent Baptist Missionaries in the country of Croatia. It is a privilege to work with them whenever I get the chance. This year I had a business trip to Germany and scheduled vacation afterwards so I could make it over to Croatia for a couple of weeks of soul-winning. The Lord blessed it in a great way and we are thrilled. I can't wait for another opportunity to return.
Fortunately, we were able to have a blog to chronicle our blessings thanks to Johnny's wife Tori.
