... and beyond. Taking the Great Commission seriously and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the ends of the world.
"(20) And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, (20) Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ Acts 20:20,21
50)God
has and will shut the door on people who cry out to Him for mercy

51)Imprecatory
Psalms (Biblical prayers that accuse the wicked, call for the destruction of
evil doers and a rejoicing in God’s judgment against the wicked) are popular
with God, but not with men
44)God
commands people to study His Word (very unpopular)
2 Timothy 2:15;

46)The
man who never hears of the Christian Gospel or even hears about Jesus is still
condemned by God to the Lake of Fire for all eternity
Romans 1:18-32;

The more an
unsaved and unrepentant sinner knows about the true and living God, the more
that sinner hates the living God! [Titus 1:15-16; 2 Corinthians 4:3-6]
This is a new 11 part serious that deals with "Unpopular Bible Doctrines" that even many Christians do not want to believe they are in the Bible. The videos, together with the Scripture portions, are from Larry Wessels, Director of Christian Answers, Austin, Texas.
The reason why I have decided to run this series is a desire and passion for getting the Truth of God into this world, and to those who are so deceived with their false doctrines and false teachings. This reality really hit home recently when I lost my mother to an illness that took her life on 29th February 2012, aged 71, and I got to see and hear my family members' mixed up or lack of doctrine when I attended our late mother's memorial service. This is not easy for me to write this, but I write this in love giving a stern warning, of which I, too, am also to examine myself before our God Almighty. Just as the apostle Paul withstood the apostle Peter to the face, because he was to be blamed (read the whole account in Galatians 2:11-21) so I issue the rebuke, for open rebuke is better than secret love (Proverbs 27:5). We have professing Christians, Roman Catholics and unbelievers in our "earthly" family that say we should not judge one another, when Jesus Christ said if we judge, "judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24). If we as believers were living perfect (Matthew 5:48) and Holy (1 Peter 1:16) lives before God our Father and continually examining ourselves we would not need our brothers and sisters to be doing the correcting and instructing. The reason why some Christians don't receive the rebuke in love, is because they are still caught up in pride - and pride comes before destruction (Proverbs 16:18). It appears that there are also believers that do not examine themselves against the Holy standards of God, but Scripture tells us that we are to use Scripture "for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16).
My friends, we do hope that we all might learn and grow by the Word given to us and to live righteous lives in Christ Jesus.
