The Moment You Die Eternity Begins Immediately

Last updated on: October 6, 2025 at 7:10 pm   By Amy Blossom

Scripture makes one truth unmistakably clear; the moment you die, your eternity begins. In other words, immediately after your last breath on earth you will wake up in one of two places: heaven or hell. There is no pause, no waiting room, no do-overs and no second chances. Death doesn’t offer delay – it delivers you directly to your eternal destination. In Hebrews 9:27 the writer tells us: “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after... Read more

The Name That Divides: No Fence Between Heaven and Hell

Last updated on: October 6, 2025 at 9:34 am   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

When it comes to Jesus, there is no middle ground. It is the Name of Jesus that divides heaven and hell. His Name cuts through history, families, and even the human heart (Luke 12:49–53). This means that there is no neutrality where Jesus is concerned. To ignore Him is to reject Him, and to delay a decision about Him is to make one already. Jesus didn’t come to blur the world’s gray areas, He came to draw the line between... Read more

Love Your Neighbor: Is that Really Too Much to Ask?

Last updated on: September 26, 2025 at 1:18 pm   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

Scroll through the headlines or your social media feed and you’ll find no shortage of anger, division, and hostility. Neighbors glare across fences, political opponents treat each other as enemies, and family gatherings fall apart over disagreements. Even online, where people should feel more connected than ever, hatred often sounds louder than kindness. The world is in need of more love.   Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost the ability and even the willingness to love one another. And yet,... Read more

Rosh Hashanah and Jesus: The Prophetic Fulfillment

Last updated on: September 20, 2025 at 6:05 am   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

When we open the Old Testament, we read about festivals and celebrations that may seem distant from our lives today. Yet Scripture tells us these feasts are more than just history lessons – they are typologies and foreshadowings that point to Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:16–17). Rosh Hashanah points to Jesus and finds prophetic fulfillment in Him.    Next week is Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets and the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah is one of the... Read more

Was Jesus a Socialist? Setting the Record Straight

Last updated on: September 5, 2025 at 12:43 pm   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

It’s question that often comes up in cultural conversations: Was Jesus a socialist? After all, He cared for the poor, spoke against greed, and called His followers to give generously. Some argue that this sounds like socialism, but it’s not. Putting a “socialist” label on Jesus isn’t just inaccurate – it demeans His mission, distorts His words, and drags the Son of God down into man-made politics when His Kingdom was never of this world. Reasons Why People Label Jesus... Read more

Progressive Christianity: What the Bible Really Says

Last updated on: August 29, 2025 at 2:47 pm   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

Progressive Christianity is an evolving, socially engaged expression of faith that reinterprets doctrine to fit today’s culture. It prioritizes compassion and social justice, embraces diversity and spiritual exploration, and often redefines key Biblical concepts to align with its inclusive worldview. Progressive Christianity teaches a different Gospel than what the Bible teaches.   The Dangers of Progressive Christianity Progressive Christianity has been gaining influence in recent years, and at first glance it sounds appealing. It emphasizes love, tolerance, inclusivity, and social... Read more

What the Bible Teaches About Forgiveness

Last updated on: August 22, 2025 at 1:23 pm   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult commands in the Christian life, yet it is also one of the most liberating. The Bible makes it clear that forgiveness is not optional for believers. It is essential, both in our relationship with God and with others. Today we will look at what the Bible teaches about forgiveness.

How “He Gets Us” Misrepresents Jesus

Last updated on: March 4, 2025 at 3:39 pm   By Amy Blossom

0 Comments

Most people have seen or at least heard of the commercials that claim, “He Gets Us.” In fact, they spend millions of dollars to place ads during the Superbowl. In these campaign commercials Jesus is portrayed in one way only (which I will explain further in the article). Although some of the claims made about Jesus are true, the real message of the Gospel is excluded, perverted or even downright false. Today we will look at how “He Gets Us”... Read more

Who is Satan? How Christianity Views the Devil

Last updated on: February 18, 2025 at 9:39 am   By Amy Blossom

Who is Satan? He is described throughout the Bible in many different verses of scripture. Included are specific names that he is given as well as descriptions of his character. These names and descriptions of Satan are important to understand because he is God’s number one enemy, which means he is also OUR number one enemy. In order to defeat our enemy, we must know WHO he is and HOW he operates. Today we will look at how Christianity views... Read more

Tuesday Testimony: Jesus Loves & Accepts Us Where We Are

The world will let us down. The people we love will let us down. In fact, the people we look to for validation and acceptance are sometimes the ones who make us feel the most isolated. We cannot look to the things (and people) of this world to fill our hearts with love and acceptance. It is Jesus who loves us & accepts us right where we are.
