You don’t have to be a great orator, have a PHD or hail from a well known theological seminary, you simply need to know what it is that you believe(why would help also). According to 1 Peter 3:15, we should be ready to give every man an answer that’s will ask you the reason of the hope that you have. What is it you can answer? I believe that anyone can answer intelligently as to why they believe, what they believe; if by reading this you find that you can not give an answer, call this your first assignment.

Absolutely nothing! People try many things to please God; they want Salvation so they can make it into Heaven. Going to church, singing in the choir or being an usher. The truth is that none of your acts or attempts to be “right” (Isaiah 64.6) with God will work!
If you want to please God, look at what the Bible Says:
Heb 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.
So, what can you do to be saved? Again…nothing! Jesus Christ Already did it for you! What is necessary for you to be pleasing in the Sight of God? Lets see; He died for the sin of mankind and then He rose again from His death, that you might Live! All you need to do is believe that. Sound too easy? Still not convinced? Then read the scripture for yourself;
Rom 10:9 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved:
Rom 10:10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek: for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich unto all that call upon him:
Rom 10:13 for, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Advertisers use it, military recruiters, car sales persons and yes, even in the church, emotional appeals are used. Not all emotional appeals are wrong, what the motivation of the person using one? Is the reason to make a quota? Raise an offering? Increase awareness of a danger? Is the appeal far fetched? Is it believable and factual?
When tragedy hit Haiti, shortly after you would see pictures of the devastation, the faces of crying children with captions like: “No where to go, no one to care for them” or “scared and hungry”. Upon seeing such images the appeal is then made for you to give. There is nothing wrong with giving to a cause, a charity or to simply help someone in need.
Emotional appeals do exactly that, they appeal to your sense of emotion, weather love, anger, concern and fear. Emotional appeals are used in advertising, sales pitches and even in many churches, why! They work! Read more on Emotional Appeal…

Have you ever wondered the purpose of fruit? What’s it for? Fruits like, beautiful red apples, ripe grapes, melons and delicious strawberries. The one thing they all have in common is seeds; seeds are vital and key for the reproduction of these fruit bearing plants; as we remember from our science 101 classes. When fruit bearing plants are in their natural habitat and they bear fruit, seeds are moved about by the wildlife that eats the fruit. Read more on It’s for them….
