I take it very seriously when I take the pulpit. That I'm representing God.

God's judgement begins to fall on the Earth.

Heaven is not for good people, it's for forgiven people.

The pulpit is not a place to settle scores, it’s a place to preach the word of God.

The real message of Christmas is not the gifts that we give to each other. Rather, it is a reminder of the gift that God has given to each of us. It is the only gift that truly keeps on giving.

We also need to recognize that God may have other plans in store for us, and we must be willing to accept that.

Ultimately, we know that the way a person finds salvation, the way a person comes into a relationship with God is by admitting their sin and turning to Christ. So, I think because they have done religious ritual A or B or C and think that is sufficient and that's all that is expected, now religion has become a barrier instead of a bridge and gives a false sense of satisfaction.
