PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES: REVIVAL BLOG

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: 1, 2, 3, FAITH IS NOT A CHECKLIST from google images When Jesus walked and taught, He was not creating more landmines for humanity to get around.   God sent Jesus to teach and bring people back to God because, people being people, those in charge set up roadblocks and traps that prevented people from getting closer to God .   The routines of religion became the focus instead of the worship and appreciation of God .   Jesus went after the Pharisees and the Sadducees because those men set up rules that God never created.   The answers Jesus gave to these men frustrated them because His responses were righteous and they couldn’t argue with Him .   Today, the same thing has happened with the rituals of Sunday morning church and organized religion.   The practices have become routine and empty, devoid of passion for God .   “When you allow the routine of your religion to become the religion its...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST:  A Government of the people Over two hundred years ago, this country was won and built in a revolution by the faith of men in God.   Those forefathers who laid the foundations of this country and its government based it upon their faith in God whom they knew and believed helped them win the war of independence against the then largest empire, Great Britain , and its well-trained army of skilled professional soldiers.   The odds were against us becoming the United States , but by God’s grace and certainly His desire , this country became the land of freedom for all. Pastor John Collins , Love That Cross Ministries, tells us our dilemma of today’s government and society is because we have kicked God out of everything, including our government.   Those founding fathers knew that the only reason the war was won was because it was God who blessed us.   Truly, just as Pastor John Collins says it, we have now turned o...

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, 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...
