The Holy Bible has been described as “Basic Instructions
Before Leaving Earth” for Christians. It
contains history, instruction, and advice for daily living that applies to
living today just as it did when the scriptures
were first written. Pastor
John Collins, evangelist and head pastor of Love That Cross Ministries
and Pastor John Collins Ministries,
cautions us to have patience for those who do not believe in the Bible
or who have known the Bible
and turned away from what it teaches. Patience
and compassion is needed for those who are lost, and more people
turn from the Bible
and its teachings every day. We need to hold fast to our faith and the
teaching of hope
that are found in the Bible. It has been described as God’s
letter of love to us by Pastor John Collins.
Pastor
John Collins is spreading revival
and hope
throughout the United States for over three years. Humans have taken the word
of God and twisted and distorted the messages found there to suit
the purposes of the people preaching the word, rather than what the intention
in. Bibles have been transliterated and
retranslated repeatedly since the collection was first compiled thousands of
years ago. There was a time when only
priests were reading the scriptures, and the general population was kept in
ignorance of the words meant for all.
One monk was tortured for transcribing and translating the Bible and giving
the pages to people so that they could read for themselves. The results of the translations,
transliterations, the restrictions and conflicts have resulted in a Gospel
that is in need of redemption itself-Pastor
John Collins is committed to redeeming the word of the Gospel
so that all can hear
the truth that was taught when Jesus
Christ had his ministry, as an aside, Jesus based his preaching on
the Old
Testament scriptures, we have both Old and New Testament documents
to draw from, and we are still struggling to understand what God wants for
us. Pastor John Collins
preaches God
is in the business of saving souls, He is not a genie in the sky who grants us
our every wish, says Pastor
John Collins. God demands
humility. Pastor
John Collins goes on to say He is a loving and just Father
who does care for us and expects us to become like His Son Jesus Christ in our
actions and deeds, with that humility. Jesus Christ is our
example for how we are to live our lives and the Bible is the book of
directions on how to do this!
“You must not become discouraged by those who choose to dismiss the bible, mock the bible or ridicule your belief in the bible. You must hold to the truth of the word of God because it is the beginning and constant encouragement for your faith as you go through life. Do not reduce the bible to fairy tales and nonsense but hold tight to the instruction and wisdom that it contains. The bible is full of truth, history, instruction and hope.” (Pastor John Collins, February, 2018.)
Pastor
John Collins preaches that we need to open our Bibles and encourage
one another. The times are changing and
hope is coming. The prosperity that God
promises is not the kind that is taught by those like Joel Osteen, Paula White,
Joyce Meyer, and Creflo Dollar. God’s
prosperity is based on whether you are doing what you are told, are you serving
God the correct way?
Pastor John Collins writes:
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for
every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV).
The bible is for believers, not non-believers so you cannot
hold all people to the standard in which God holds you. The Christian needs to
be excellent and committed. It is no time for lackluster faith and subpar
obedience to the word of God. For the believer in the work of our Lord Jesus
Christ, it is his responsibility to come to know the word of God, the history
of the plan of God and how your own salvation needs to be obtained through a
commitment to understanding the spirit of God and applying this knowledge to
your own life so that you may remain unstained in this world.
You cannot have the expectation that others in this world
will live by your faith or that any will respect your faith in God. The bible
is there for you to come to know the expectations that God has for you and for
you to become a true disciple of Christ. The rest is up to you so that you may
put into practice what you come to know and you do that through prayer and
trial and error but with a never-ending commitment to the path of
righteousness. You must not become discouraged by those who choose to dismiss
the bible, mock the bible or ridicule your belief in the bible. You must hold
to the truth of the word of God because it is the beginning and constant
encouragement for your faith as you go through life. Do not reduce the bible to
fairytales and nonsense but hold tight to the instruction and wisdom that it
contains. The bible is full of truth, history, instruction and hope.
It is not for you to judge those who dismiss the bible but
to have patience and compassion for the lost. There are more and more that fall
away each day so it is up to you to hold tight to what is right, true and good.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears,
they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away
from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV).
