Sermonettes, Volume 1 Quotes

“Ask a church if it insists that faith in Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the only way to salvation, the only way to escape endless pain and fire, and you will know whether it is a church of God or a synagogue of Satan. Thus in our weakness, God turns a weapon of the devil into a tool our hands, lest his chosen people be destroyed and wiped out.”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 1

“Religious diversity flourishes because the church is weak, because it is unsound in doctrine and practice. These are the same flaws that allow false believers to remain in our congregations. But because religious diversity flourishes, and because tolerance is considered a virtue, this same cultural trend that has been enabled by the church's disobedience also helps to expose and draw away some of the false believers in our congregations.”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 1

“God has defined true religion in a specific and narrow manner. Peter says that the way to salvation is in Jesus, who is called Christ, the prophesied Messiah. He refers to the one from Nazareth, the one whom the Jews crucified, who died, but whom God raised from the dead. Salvation comes through this person, and no one else, because there is no other name given to men by which they must be saved. All this is said in our very short text, and reinforced throughout the Old and New Testaments, with the prophets as forerunners who denounced all non-biblical religions.”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 1

― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 1

“God is the creator and ruler of mankind, but you have transgressed his command, and you will surely die. You can complain all you want, but he is coming for you. He is coming to get you and to punish you. You can run and hide, but he knows where you are, and he knows what you have done. According to his perfect justice, he will throw you into a lake of fire and cause you to suffer extreme and endless pain. There you will scream out, but there will be no help and no escape. You will plead for death, but alas, you have already died. O, non-Christian, weak and stupid. You cannot save yourself. O, unbeliever, condemned to the flames! You must not wait. Today is the day of salvation. There is one way to escape damnation. Do you want it? Will you take it?”
― Vincent Cheung, Sermonettes, Volume 1
