Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

By reading this book, you will gain a whole different sense of what you ever thought Heaven to be like. Without giving too much away, I will say that after reading this book I have found myself referring back often to the words of the boy who was able to give us a glimpse into what he perceived Heaven to look like including a picture of Jesus Christ Himself.

This story is not the usual listing of things, though. The reader gets a chance to follow the Burpo family through what they believed to be one of the worst times of their lives. After only a short while, they find out that this terrible time of their lives was cmpletely orchestrated by God and through this young boy they are able to witness to thousands.

Crucifixion of Jesus & How to Be Saved

Tuesday, May 3, 2011

When Jesus was brought before Pilot, Pilot did not want Jesus' blood on his hands. Instead, he washed his hands in water to signify he was not responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. When he washed his hands, did he really wash away his part in what was to become the worst death in history? No.

Pilot knew Jesus was an innocent man, but instead of standing up to the people and letting Jesus go he turned Jesus over to the crowd to let them do with him as they would. In the end (or should I say beginning), he was crucified on the cross to bear the sins of the world including yours and mine.

Don't think that Jesus could not have saved himself from this terrible death. In an instant, he could have called down a thousand angels to take him away. He chose to die for us and because of his death on the cross we can live with Him forever in Heaven.

Let us not forget that he did not stay dead. He arose on the third day and lives today in Heaven where one day we will be with Him. That is, for those who have asked Him to forgive their sins and to come into their hearts to live forever. And believe me, it will be one decision that you will not want to take back.

You can read about the crucifixion in Luke 23 KJV

If you have not ask Jesus to save you, remember...all have come short of the glory of God. Everyone is a sinner not just the murderers, drunks, the abusers, and so on. Everyone.

   All you need to do is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Which means, if you truly believe he died for your sins and that he is the Son of God and ask Him to save you, He will.

Philip explains the Bible to the Ethiopian Man

Friday, October 1, 2010

Does the name Philip ring a bell? It should there was a twelve disciple named Philip. but there was also another Philip mentioned in the Bible.

This man named Philip was telling the people of Samaria about Jesus when an angel spoke to him. The angel instructed Philip to go to the desert road that lead from Jerusalem to Gaza.

Philip obeyed and began the walk down the desert road. On this same road an Ethiopian man came riding in a chariot with a Bible scroll in his hands. He was trying to read it and figure out what the words meant. As the chariot came close to Philip he asked the man, "Do you understand what you are reading?"

The man did not and ask Philip to sit beside him in the chariot and tell him what the words meant. Philip explained about Jesus and how the man must ask Jesus to come into his heart if he wanted to go to Heaven. He also told him about baptizism and as he did the Ethiopian man said, "Look, there is water."

So, on the desert road Philip baptized the newly saved man and after he did Philip was immediately whisk away to a new place to teach. Was it magic? Or was it God?

In case you do not know God is all powerful. There is nothing too great or too small for him.

Find this true story in the book of Acts 8:4-6, 26-40 KJV
