Dear World, Please Stop Vomiting Up His Name

(Part 3 of 3)

Our world countries just completed the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. Their camaraderie inspired me to reach out to Lift Him Up readers (representing over 100 countries) and ask them to share the eternal importance of never momentarily taking our Lord’s name in vain.

This is the last of a three part series designed to bring global attention to the constant misuse of the holy names God and Jesus. Part 1 considered the history of God’s name. Part 2 focused on correct and incorrect uses of God’s name. In Part 3 we look at why we should follow God’s third commandment. Continue reading →

6 Hate Seeds Christians Need To Avoid?

Posted on July 28, 2016 by debrapedrow

If you are a Christian you need to nip these hate seeds in the bud.

hate – noun intense or passionate dislike

True hate is a dark emotion. To hate is to abhor, detest or loath. The heart of a hate filled person has usually been cultivated by some form of hate to themselves, which is what enriches the hate seed to grow. Students can learn to hate school at an early age because their elementary teachers are condescending instead of encouraging towards their work.

Families learn to hate others who look different, because elder members display contempt and distain for “those people.” Religious members may feel threatened, thus propagate hate, when they do not understand another’s beliefs. The word hate is increasingly scattered, fertilized, and grows uncontrolled in our day-to-day communication expressions. Continue reading →

Why Do “Good Works”?

Posted on July 14, 2016 by debrapedrow

Why do good works?

Spending eternity in heaven (versus hell) is the goal all Christians aspire to. I certainly don’t want my eternal home to be a place of turmoil. Matthew 25:46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

I definitely desire eternal life over eternal punishment, don’t you? Continue reading →

Big God versus little gods

Posted on July 7, 2016 by debrapedrow

Be thankful to be known and loved by our BIG God.

It helps to understand the necessity for thankfulness to our BIG God, by acknowledging the differences between Him and our little gods.

Our BIG God sent His Son to offer us salvation from sin. We are not saved from sin by living a “good life.” No, we are saved only through faith in Jesus Christ and the blood that He shed for us on The Cross. This is a truth that creates our BIG God. Continue reading →

Jesus – Lunatic, Liar, or Truthful?

Posted on June 9, 2016 by debrapedrow

Jesus, lunatic, liar or Truthful?

Jesus was looked upon as a “Teacher” (John 13:13) during the last three years of His life on earth as He purposefully taught the Word of God to many peoples. But it is the fact that His teachings were extremely bold that should inspire us to make a clear decision about who The Man really is. Referencing Him as one who teaches does not measure up to the Truth of His being; and this simple acknowledgment will not secure for us our inheritable heavenly eternity. Continue reading →

3 failures Peter had towards Jesus

Simon, also known as Peter, is noted in the Bible as the first disciple Jesus called to follow Him.

Mark 1:16-17 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” Continue reading →
