John 10:10: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly..." Jesus Christ is the Way. He is the only Way. He is the Way out for you and He is the Way in for you. He has come to bring us an abundant life. The thief comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy. I think this is a test you can apply to a church, a religious organization, a radio or television program. Is it a religious racket? Is somebody getting rich out of it? As the old adage goes, "Follow the money." Compare it to the Good Shepherd who came to save sinners and to give us life, abundant life. If the person, ministry, or pastor is focusing on anything other than the Lord Jesus Christ, know that most likely is a ministry that will not bring abundant life. Oh, you might see some tricks to make money or make people feel good, but in the long run, it is a ministry of death. Without Christ, you shall die in your sins. If you want abundant life, you must have the Lord Jesus Christ.
