PASTOR JOHN COLLINS DAILY THOUGHTS: THE BIBLE

PASTOR JOHN COLLINS, EVANGELIST: READ THE BOOK


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 fairytales 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).
