Pastor John Collins, Evangelist, Thought of the Day

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: ON AND OFF? “Now Jesus sat opposite the treasury and saw how the people put money into the treasury. And many who were rich put in much. Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites, which makes a quadrans. So He called His disciples to Himself and said to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have given to the treasury; for they all put in out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all that she had, her whole livelihood.’” Mark 12: 41-44. (NKJV).  You cannot only be a Christian when things are going good in your life and you cannot only be a Christian towards those whom you like and approve of . The whole point of being a Christian is to be Christ-like and believe me, Jesus was kind to those whom He knew to be sinners and those whom He would not approve of, which is the reason that He was sent to earth , to save those who were lost . Jesus gave all that He had down...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS: HURT We all have pain and scars that need to heal .   Because so many have never known the love of God or His Son, that hurt never seems to heal .   That hurt leads to alcoholism, drug abuse, addictions of all kinds, low self-esteem, cutting: there are so many things that we do to ourselves out of pain of living.   Pastor John Collins , evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries , tells us that it is faith in God and Jesus that will heal us.   All we have to do is realize that God and Jesus are there and want us to come to Them, warts and all, and the healing will begin. Tears and pain keep us from enjoying what God does put into our lives even when we have a little faith.   It is how the enemy, who is Satan, keeps us from that perfect relationship with God.   The child who once trusted Jesus becomes the surly adolescent who is rebellious of parents and church because th...

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: BELIEVE IN ISN'T JUST BELIEVING BibleVerseImages.com There is a difference in believing and believing in.   Many people believe that God is there, is real, that Jesus is the Messiah, that He was crucified on a cross and died for our sins.   It is one thing to believe, it is another to believe in.   To believe in something is to give everything you have to that purpose, that idea, that concept, that cause. To believe in something is to pursue it with determination, tenacity, a single-mindedness that will not sway you no matter what.   Paul the apostle says it is running a race, and Pastor John Collins , evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries and Pastor John Collins Ministries, Inc. , preaches it means to run the race of a lifetime, full out, all in.   There are a lot of people who say that they are Christians and give only lip service to belief.   They go into a church on Sunday ...
