PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES: REVIVAL BLOG

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST:  58% OF 10000 PEOPLE IN A RECENT SURVEY BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS A MYTH Photo from "the Passion of the Christ" (Icon Productions, 2004) This week is traditionally recognized as Holy Week, Christians around the world reflect upon the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ .   Jews will begin the celebration of Passover at sundown on Friday.   Easter for most Christians is recognized as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.   Without Easter , or Resurrection Day , Christmas is pointless.   In a recent broadcast, Pastor John Collins , evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries , reflected that a survey of 10,000 people revealed that at least 58% of those surveyed believe that Jesus Christ and His story is a myth. The “myth” of Jesus Christ living and dying is written in the Holy Bible , for Christians , that is enough.   However, for those who ques...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, LOVE THAT CROSS REVIVAL: THE WAY HOME Photo courtesy of Google images Imagine growing up knowing that you would die to save the world .   Your entire life would be devoted to the singular goal of giving your life as a sacrifice so that all would have the opportunity to live .   In this day, it sounds almost like fictional super hero characters seen on film and in science fiction stories.   The thing is, that very story is true and it is written about and spoken of over and over again for over two thousand years.   Pastor John Collins , evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries , tells us the truth of the Gospel in sermons and daily devotionals .   The way to get back home to heaven is to turn to Jesus Christ, the Son of God who came to this world and left   His heavenly home , to save our souls by giving His earthly life as a sacrifice for God for us so that we can live eternally .   Our souls are...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS: BECOMING A GOOD CHRISTIAN photo courtesy of Google images What does it mean when we choose to accept the salvation of Jesus Christ , seek sincere forgiveness , and become Christian ?   What do we need to do become good Christians ?   Simply saying that we believe in God , that we believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is not enough.   There is work to be done, preaches Pastor John Collins of Love That Cross Ministries .   Asking Jesus to come into your life is the first step.   From that point onward, our journey is lifelong for most of us.   Paul turned his life around in an instant, and yes, that is possible:   for Paul and  for most of us it is a struggle and a journey that we must work on every day.   What we were taught, what we believe, our habits, our thoughts will poison our heart and keep us from becoming righteous.   It is a process of choosing to do things differently.   Where do...

Pastor John Collins, Revival: Today's thought-God did that Do you take the time each day to look around and marvel at the world around us?   Mountains, trees, animals, lakes, skies filled with billowing clouds , birds of every color, the tiny whisker of a mouse, flowers that smell wonderful and are of every color, shape, and size, the freshness of children at play, fish swimming ….these are too numerous to list.   God did that .   God gave life, at the beginning of creation, and again each and every time there is birth. God did that .   To witness the birth of a child, you need to marvel at the conception , the growth of those two small cells to develop into a human being with a soul.   God did that .   It may seem like these are everyday things , they are not, and in fact, we’ve become removed from the origination of all these marvelous things just as we have become removed from God and His Son , Jesus Christ , who was sent as a sacrifice to ...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: THE HOPE OF CHRIST As we read the headlines and listen to the newscasts and media speculate and sensationalize the hate, discord, unhappiness, and lies that are so prevalent in the world today: from ISIS, to school shootings, North Korea, nuclear weapons, natural disasters and the like, we as a whole tend to feel that there is no hope.   It seems that God is not there or He has forgotten us, His promises, and that Jesus may very well just be a good story about a guy who was pretty charismatic and stirred up the hearts of people, only to upset the politicians of the day and get Himself “killed”.   This is not so.   God truly is at work among us.   King Solomon recognized the hopelessness of mankind when he became the Preacher in Ecclesiastes and wrote about the pointlessness (vanity) of man’s struggle without the wisdom of faith in God .   We are much the same in our world right now.   King David , Solomon’s f...

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist, Love That Cross: There is a bigger story. Pastor John Collins , evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries continues to promote renewal of faith and revival of hope .   His daily thoughts of the day give us a snapshot of what he often preaches during his sermons , broadcasts , and interviews .   God is not done with us, and He certainly sees what is going on in this world and hears prayers.   Long ago, Peter wrote that God does not want any soul to perish, He dearly wants all of us back with Him .   The evil that exists in this world takes souls away from God and has since the beginning of mankind and Adam and Eve were disobedient to His instructions.   Satan is alive and well in this world and wages war against God and His plan for this world . Pastor John Collins is committed to bring the word of God back to all of us, beginning in the United States , which he has called the land of milk a...
