If You Want Eternal Life, Live Like It!

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

Often, the most agreed upon scriptures are also the least understood and least practiced in the bible. God is very positive about his promises and his willingness to support us in our many trials, even those aside from our Christian duties. It is a sad reflection on a failing society, that God offers people a far better life than the one they are fighting for themselves. Human history reveals, mankind is quick to forget the causes of their worst problems and soon return to the same practices that failed them in the first place. It's perhaps no surprise that this failing (short attention span), is also true of spiritual gains, especially eternal life.

Turning Weakness To Strength

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

One of the greatest failings of humanity relates to their ignorance of how God's salvation plan works. The concept of salvation is not just a 'religious' notion. Physical life and death are obvious, with the factual reality that dead people don't return to life after their bodies perish. This is a real world observation, not just a religious one. God's salvation (preservation of life), is based on overcoming physical death by providing a spiritual body, not subject to mortal limitations. The entrance is often misunderstood and the ongoing servitude is equally misunderstood. Despite our human weaknesses, there is a perfect balance of living and serving, clearly described in the New Testament. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is the only action that moves us from sin and death to mercy. It's the only provable action that gives us a chance to outlive our natural bodies. Jesus revealed the true signs chosen by God, that would follow true believers.

Controlling the Narrative

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

Whoever controls the worlds narrative (topics of discussion), controls the worlds thoughts and speech. Modern journalism is more often about creating the narrative than it is about reporting the facts. This is not surprising when we consider one of the oldest fake narratives on the record.GEN 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. He wanted to control them, not help them.

A History of Betrayal

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

The human race has been consistently betrayed by both the spiritual and natural leaders that are supposed to represent them, since the beginning of time. Mankind continues to reject God's eternal purpose for them.

The Two Greatest Enemies Of The Church

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

The true church brings life to the hearer... the enemies of the church risk God given life, with death. The two main enemies of the church are titled, 'the son of perdition' and 'antichrist': both come from within.

The Are None So Blind

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

In human behaviour, to deny a clear reality (denialism), is the preferred way to avoid a psychologically uncomfortable truth. It is also called 'wilful ignorance'. In the bible, God uses terms like 'blind', 'foolish', 'mockers', etc., for the negative views expressed towards his creation and gospel. JER 5:21 Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:

Pressure to Change

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

Jesus Christ revealed that his message was much more than a collection of spiritual principles. JOH 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Jesus explained that God's plan included a joint relationship, covering every aspect of our spiritual and natural lives. His main aim was to save us from the certainty of death by preserving our soul.

The End is the End

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

The return of Jesus Christ brings closure and change like no other event in history. At that time, there will be no room for humanity nor the church to make any further changes to the status or position that they find themselves in. The end will be catastrophic and inescapable... thus God's continued warning to everyone who will listen. If we truly believe we are at the end of the age, then it would be wise to live like it. Perhaps, better still, if we believe we are Christians with a sense of purpose, then we need to live a life that supports our belief and faith. We hold the only solution for the people of this world... they have no solutions at all.

Shining in a Perverse Nation

By Pastor Brad Smith [Brisbane]

The Lord is well aware of every detail and aspect of human failures, that will lead the end of the world as we currently know it. He has made a way of escape for everyone who wants to live. The true Spirit filled Christian church is God's effective way of saving souls from the finality of death. PHI 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
