“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” — Romans 1:16
Welcome to The Peoples Gospel Hour!
The Bible reveals two ways which people are following to get into heaven. One way, the true way, is God’s way. God’s way into heaven is the way of peace and truth and righteousness. It is the only way approved of God. This way centers in the Lord Jesus Christ who said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6). The Bible declares that there is another way. “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death” (Prov. 14:12).
There are so many popular ways today filled with lost multitudes all over the land, such as the way of morality, the way of respectability, the way of religion, the way of churchianity, the way of baptism, the way of christening, the way of confirmation, the way of penance, the way of confession, the way of “doing the best I can”, the way of self, the way of education, the way of philosophy, the way of false isms and cults that crowd the street. Little wonder then when we speak to people about the way of salvation, that so many have asked, “How can I know which is the true way? There are so many different ideas and so many religions.”
But there is ONE difference between God’s way of salvation and man’s way, and that difference is found in a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ. You will notice that man leaves Christ out of the center of his way. You will discover that the modern false cults and isms demote Christ to a mere man and add something to what He has already done for your salvation and mine. We become children of God through a supernatural birth. Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Jesus also said, “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:7)

Somethings to Think About
1.Seeking Happiness?
Everybody wants to be happy. But in this world happiness mainly depends upon circumstances and circumstances are often anything but happy. You seek happiness , you will never find it; it will always elude you, it will always escape you. You will think you have captured it, but suddenly it is gone. Chasing it is like trying to catch a bubble – the moment you catch it, it has vanished, broken in your hands, and there is nothing left. Never make happiness an end in itself. Realize that you live in a world of sin, woes, pains, aches, sorrows and sickness. Besides these violence, hatred and destruction prevails in this world which lies in wickedness. Yes, the whole world lies in the wicked one!
Happiness says the Bible, depends upon two things only.
- First it depends upon and rests only on the facts whether your sins are forgiven or not: in other words it depends upon your relationship to Jesus Christ.
- Second it depends on what you are and not what is happening to you . That That is the secret. Yes true and lasting happiness is found in knowing that you are forgiven and on the way to Heaven. “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed (happy) is the man that trusteth in Him.” Psalm 34:8
Supposing.
Some people are always “supposing.” Have ever heard people asking, “suppose Adam hadn’t sinned. Then what?” A certain lawyer got an interview with President Abraham Lincoln. Every point that he made was based up on a “supposing”. After hearing all he could take, President Lincoln said to the lawyer, “Let me ask you a question. Supposing you called a dog’s tail a leg. How many legs would the dog have?” the lawyer immediately answered: “Five.” Mr. Lincoln replied: “ that’s exactly what I thought you would say. But you are wrong! Calling a tail a leg does not make it so.”
By the way, the answer to the question about Adam’s sinning is, such “supposing” is only foolishness because Adm did sin.
Have you met such a man?
He said he believes the Bible but he never read it.
He says he believes prayer changes things but he does not pray.
He said he likes the church, and is a member, but he seldom has attended it.
He said a man should be honest with God in money matters, but never tithes.
He is often critical of God’s people of their work in the church but he does not work.
He says the younger generation needs the Lord but he is not leading them in the right way.
He certainly is the strangest man you can meet!!
Could anyone reading this article be that person.? God help you.!!!
Formula for Failure in Christian life:
Follow the path of least resistance. “ Go with the flow”, follow the crowd. Don’t take a stand for Christ and the Word of God.
Alienate yourself from Church membership. Don’t join and get involved. Attend only when you feel like.
Insist on having your own way. Don’t let anyone tell you what to believe, what to wear, what to do, etc.
Listen to everyone who is unhappy and complaining. Find something wrong with everything and let others know how unhappy you are.
Unite with those who are worldly and who would like to hinder the church rather than help it.
Resist all efforts to get you to repent and become a useful member of the Lord’s family the church. Don’t let anyone influence you for good.
Escape responsibility for your attitude or actions. Lay the blame on others for your miserable condition.
Everybody is doing it!
That is the cry one often hears to justify some sin or worldly habit. It is heard in the church and outside the church. The truth is, “everybody is not doing it!” You know one good reason that you should refrain from it, at least until you check it out!! But just suppose everybody is doing it, that makes no difference to God; right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter who, or how many are doing it.
Everybody (except Noah and his family) no doubt thought the talk about world wide judgment was more than a little absurd. Everybody(certainly many and probably most) was participating, or at least sympathetic, to homosexuality in Sodom in the days of Lot. The judgment of God came anyway! When the twelve spies came back from spying the land, everybody (just about) agreed that it was an impossible venture and voted not to go. You can follow the crowd and do what everybody else is doing, but then you will have to take the consequences along with them.
It would be pretty hard to find a time in the history of this old world when everybody was right as far as God was concerned; No, the truth is, the majority is just about always wrong when it comes to God and the truth. Better make up your mind to do right, because it is the basis of God’s judgment. Well what do you have to do? “Trust Christ and base your decision upon His Word”. Yes you won’t be like everybody and you won’t be liked by everybody, but you will be right. You will be saved from the wrath to come!!
Procrastination:
One of the greatest enemies of the soul is procrastination. It just seems to be a part of human nature to put things off. And how prevalent it is when it comes to eternal salvation. Many say, “well I intend to do it someday.” I have heard a number of young people who said, they wanted to” see the world a little” and then they would trust Christ. We can tell many story about people like that – people who intended to get saved someday, but sad to say, they never did. You had better listen to someone a little older and a little wiser than yourself! Better yet, please listen to God: “ Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” Proverbs 27:1
Repent of your sins and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. DO it NOW!
