PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, JOHN COLLINS MINISTRIES: REVIVAL BLOG

Pastor John Collins: Biblical and human If you listen to pastors that are on the pulpit in the public eye, these men and women would have you believe that God is an all loving God who is there to simply answer prayers in return for your belief, that you don’t need to change yourself, that once you’re saved, you’re always saved.   “They don’t teach to look to the Bible for the examples that God gives” preaches Pastor John Collins of John Collins Ministries and Love That Cross Ministries .   The Holy Bible is full of examples of liars, cheaters, doubters, bribery, theft, and simple human failure.   We are HUMAN, and the Bible tells of HUMANS who went through the very same things we face now, only thousands of years ago.   As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes, there is nothing new under the sun. “There is a beauty in knowing the failures of those that have been faithful to God. You are not expected to be perfect from the start, but are meant to work t...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS: INTERNET AND CHILDREN Years after Reverend David Wilkerson preached that the Internet was a distraction and a means to separate families, that television was becoming too violent for children to watch unsupervised, Pastor John Collins , of Love That Cross Ministries and John Collins Ministries , emphasizes that social media has become a means for separating families, promoting violence and bullying, and creating secrets.   The violence in Santa Fe Texas earlier this year is a symptom of the violence that children (yes teenagers are still not adults, and therefore our children), are exposed to.   The statistics now show that there are more children killed in school shootings than soldiers in combat zones in 2018, says Pastor John Collins .   The shooting in Annapolis, Maryland had the shooter’s history involved with a Twitter account. So far in 2018, there has been 199 mass shootings in the USA. When is it enough? Pastor John Collins , ...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, REVIVAL: SEPARATED  We look around at our country and we see division.   A teen shot in Pittsburgh by a police officer sets the community off into a spin.   A shooter in Annapolis Maryland puts us into an all too familiar routine of terrorism through victimization.   We fight against each other.   Know what?   We as people fight against each other in church and beliefs too, observes Pastor John Collins of Love That Cross and John Collins Ministries. “Throughout the last 2000 years or so there have been many separations within the body of Christ because of dissension among its members. This has led to different denominations and beliefs with different dogmas within Christianity. This is not how it should be.” Pastor John Collins, April 2018. Believing in Jesus is simple.   There is no call for separation or arguing that this group is better within another group, which is exactly what happened at the beginning of...

Pastor John Collins, Evangelist: Hang Tough! How can we be strong in a world of violence?   We have wars, threatened wars, suicides, hatred, aggression, and disasters of nature that take away everything we own.What do we do?  Pastor John Collins of Love that Cross and Pastor John Collins Ministries has the answer. Trust Jesus.   It’s a simple answer that has been available to us for over two thousand years.   Salvation is the free gift that God has given us, with forgiveness and a chance at eternal life once we are done with life here.   But living is tough, right?   There’s crime and drugs and death in the media.   Terrorists threaten.   Across the world, attempts on our faith and our stifling our hope push at us as believers.   Jesus and God are bigger.   Much bigger, and all it takes is to accept that They are real and make Them your own.   “Be cautious in this world, take nothing for granted and call on ...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: OPPRESSIVE AMBITION Ambition has smothered humanity by the desire of people to become powerful.   Pastor John Collins of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries shows us that ambition has kept mankind from the relationship that God intended for us when He sent Jesus as our Savior.   Ambition controlled the Dark Ages-Medieval times-and kept humanity ignorant and in poverty, ambition drove men to enslave other men and women and keep them oppressed in the bonds of slavery for millennia, today’s slavery is human trafficking that is a criminal industry affecting 20.9 million people around the world…an industry   of oppressing humans, historically Hitler oppressed the Jews in the Holocaust , the list is long and unfortunately continues even though we consider ourselves “modern”.   There is nothing new under the sun. Equal opportunity isn’t equal, preaches Pastor John Collins .   Ambit...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS: End Times and Rapture Are you a fence sitter when it comes to declaring your faith ?   Do you hedge your bets, believing in a part of this faith , a bit of that doctrine , a little of that religion ?   All in.   That is what God wants from us and Pastor John Collins of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries tells us.   All in, all of us, not part of our faith , part of our heart, part of our souls.    All our heart, soul, mind and strength.   That is the first and greatest commandment , it’s part of the Hebrew Shema , and what Jesus Christ taught when He walked the earth as a person 2000 plus years ago.   Pastor John Collins is determined to bring as many who will come back to the Cross . End times prophecies have been talked about since they were first spoken millennia ago.   The first disciples expected them to happen any day, but they were wrong just as the “prophets” of today a...
