(First Baptist Dallas)Pastor Robert Jeffress says it 'doesn't matter what you believe — Jew, Atheist, Muslim, Catholic, Baptist —everybody's going to live forever.'

Pastor Robert Jeffress, who hosts the programme “Pathway to Victory,” did not have good news to share during his sermon entitled “The Resurrection That Awaits Us.”

He began by saying that animals don't have spirits, so everybody's favourite furry companions are definitely gone when they're dead. “..

3 lessons I’m learning about God, faith, and doubt

I always thought I had come to know too much about God to ever walk away from the faith, until a trigger event happened and everything changed. My theology of suffering was strong, but that meant little when I came face to face with my greatest fear.

The trigger event
Three years ago we received news that no one ever wants to receive.

After a series ..

Meditation:
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
—John 17:15-18 (KJV)
Quotation:
During the last year or so, I have come to appreciate the “worldliness” of Christianity as never before. The Christian is not a h..

Verse: “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness.” — ps 65:11
Thought: All the year round, every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake his mercy waits upon us. The sun may leave us a legacy of darkness, but our God never ceases to shine upon his children with beams of love. Like a river, his lovingkindness is always flowing, with a fulness inexhaustible as his own nature. Like the atmosphere which constantly surrounds the earth, and is always ready to supp..

Verse: “Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn.” — ru 2:2
Thought: Downcast and troubled Christian, come and glean to-day in the broad field of promise. Here are abundance of precious promises, which exactly meet thy wants. Take this one: “He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax.” Doth not that suit thy case? A reed, helpless, insignificant, and weak, a bruised reed, out of which no music can come; weaker than weakness itself; a reed, and that reed bruised, yet, h..

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.— Psalm 8:1 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse…
These two concepts seem to be contradictory, or at least unconnected. On the one hand, God's name is majestic in this plain ol' transitory space we call earth, but at the same time he is glorious and above the highest heavens. This collision of different worlds is played out in the life of Israel. It is made clear in the life,..

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.— Isaiah. 51:6 (NIV)

Key Passage: Jesus called all the followers together. Jesus said, “The non-Jewish people have men they call rulers. You know that those rulers love to show their power over the people. And their important leaders love to use all their authority over the people. But it should not be that way with you. If one of you wants to become great, then he must serve you like a servant. If one of you wants to become the most important, then he must serve all of you like a slave.”
— Mark 10:42-44 ERV (Read Ful..
