Gospel Light Minute X with Daniel Whyte III

On Having a Solid Salvation (Part 3)

GLMX #43: What is Your Eternal Destination?

Sunday Evening Evangelistic Message #23 One of the biggest problems in the body of Christ are people who do not have the assurance of their salvation. They think that because of their sins, their negligence, their failing to endure to the end, or some other reason, they may lose their salvation. This is tragic! Those who think they are saved now but could lose their salvation later have one of two problems: First, they are trusting to some degree in their works to save them or, second, they do not understand that by trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour their destiny is in the hands of God. In the second sermon of this four-part series, Daniel Whyte III will clear up some of the misunderstanding regarding the eternal security of believers. + Plus, listen to Smokie Norful and the 12th District AME Mass Choir as they sing "Oh, The Blood of Jesus".and CeCe Winans singing "Hallelujah Praise"

He is a former NBA basketball star who played in more consecutive games than any other player in NBA and ABA history. With 1,192 straight games played, he earned the nickname "Iron Man". He played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat. He was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 2003. He is a three time NBA champion in 1987, 1988, and 2000. He was an NBA All-Star in 1990 and Pac-10 Conference Player of the Year in 1984. At the 2011 All Star Breakfast, he was awarded the Bobby Jones Award for character, leadership, and faith in the world of basketball at home and in the community. He is also well-known for beginning and ending his NBA career as a virgin. Currently, he runs youth camps through his foundation promoting abstinence until marriage. While growing up in a very religious home, he did not accept Jesus Christ into His life until he was on his way to college with a full-ride basketball scholarship. Being an All-American player, and being very popular, he says of his salvation experience, "I had a lot of things going for me but at the same time I was very empty on the inside. Something was wrong. I finally decided that the most important thing for me to do was to find out what it took to go to heaven and understand more about this Jesus person that I have heard so much about." He goes on to say, "I was at a church in Hermanston, Oregon and the amazing thing was that God really spoke through the Minister. He had a sermon that day, in which he asked, 'do you want to go to heaven or do you want to go to hell?' He spoke from what I now know as the gospel. I had to make a decision whether I wanted to trust Jesus and live by the standards that He set or be someone who seeks to please man." Out of his ten friends that were with him that day, he was the only one to go to the altar that Sunday morning and accept Jesus Christ into his life. He said, "I learned that it wasn't important to be a people pleaser, but to be a man who pleases his Lord and Savior...Now, I put everything on the line for Jesus." His name is A.C. Green.

Psychologists have long known that every person has two great longings and inward needs. The first is to be loved, and the second is to love. But when pressures and heartaches come into our lives, many give up any hope of ever finding love. The tragedy is that we often look in the wrong places to fill this deep, deep need and longing. Some substitute lust for love. Others pursue material things or superficial relationships---all in the futile attempt to fill a God-shaped vacuum in the human heart. But there is good news! There is a love worth finding and a love worth sharing. The Bible says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life". On the cross of Christ, God's mighty love was revealed and offered unconditionally to all who would be saved. + Plus, listen to Brandon Heath singing "Your Love"

GLMX #42: The Greatest Love of All

He was an All-Metropolitan and All-American basketball player in high school. He graduated from Harvard University and received All-Ivy League honors and also became captain of his team in his senior year. After being drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the 1970s, but falling short of making the roster, he was offered a position as a sports broadcaster for the Washington Bullets. He later moved on to the anchor position at WDVM-TV in Washington, DC and soon began working at CBS. While at CBS Sports, he worked as a play by play announcer for NFL telecasts and major events such as the NBA finals and the Winter Olympic Games. In 1994, he accepted the position of host of the NFL on Fox pregame show. He is the current host of The NFL Today on CBS and Inside the NFL on Showtime. He says of his faith, 'when I worked in the corporate world I was considered a success by the world, because of the good money I made, and the Corvette I owned, but I felt a "distinct emptiness" in my life. I knew the reason was because I wasn't walking with God, and I turned my life back over to the Savior. I prayed that God would help me walk uprightly before Him, and now my life is 'wonderful." He challenges young people by saying, ' all other success in life, apart from believing and trusting Jesus Christ and his death on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and living for him, is "short-term success." Knowing Christ brings peace. His name is James Brown.

Is there hope for America? Will we become the great nation that we are capable of becoming? Or will we slip deeper and deeper into moral and spiritual decline? The good news is that there is hope for America! But only if we humbly bow before God in prayer and confession. Will you join in this profound prayer? If we truly pray this prayer in believing faith we--and our nation--will never be the same. + Plus, listen to Chris Tomlin singing "God of this City"
