When lazy people look around them and see the lack of happiness in pretty much every part of their life, it is so easy for them to say to themselves that life has handed them a bad stretch of problems, and that nothing they do can bring them out of this. Christians that also think and live this...

Well said. This is the areas of legalism that promotes we are saved by repentance, and not by the Blood of Jesus. If we were saved by repentance, this would mean we are saved by our works and not Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary. You make a great point that we repent after Salvation. Because...

Great point. I do understand what TLF is saying, but I am also saying that Salvation is given when asked for by faith. This is when grace, and mercy are given as unmerited favor, and we are then covered by the blood of Jesus, made the righteousness of Jesus, and given free approach to God's...

Legalism is a form of religion that nobody needs. You are not saved by repentance. You are not saved by how bad you feel about yourself, and your sins. You are not saved by self condemnation or how guilty you feel. You are not saved by being emotional, or not emotional. You are saved...

Good question. We are not sinners because we sin. We sin because we are sinners. We can thank Adam for our sin D.N.A. We are born into sin, and nobody has to teach a child how to be bad, It is in the makeup. We had nothing to do with being born into sin. Just like we had nothing to do with...

Do you ever condemn yourself for things, and sins that you have confessed? This will destroy your walk with God faster than anything. When will we learn that we do not have to have it all together to approach the Throne of God. We are to boldly approach His throne. And in doing so, we see that...

No, it has to do with everything. Doctrine has its place. But relationship, and scripture has it over any ritual, intellect, and theology ever spawned, and dreamed up. Theology, and doctrine are so argued, and people are even killed over it. I have have seen it tear up churches, and divide...

You pose good thoughts. God is interested with the matters of the heart. There are more broken hearts in this world than there are broken bodies. The old wineskin of the heart MUST be changed before God can pour in new wine. This has nothing whatsoever to do with doctrine. It has to do with...

Feel ashamed? NO. Make one think? Hopefully. This is a question that gets good critique, or an "I can't stand these types of threads answers." I could care less what I am thought of. I am a minister thats wants people to not only succeed as a christian, but as blessed christian...

Amen.

Where does God rank in your life? It is very easy for most christians to say He is #1, and then live like He barely exists. What do you act like behind closed doors? Are you a Sunday christian? Or an everyday christian. Happiness and joy is total submission to God. Do you trust...

You have to remember that in the "GOOD" and "BAD" of the world, you have those with a worldly heart, and those with a Godly heart. And straddling of the fence and you have the proverbial "Doubl Minded Syndrome," while the Bible tells us that being double minded is to be unsteady in all of our...

This is what the Bible calls christians that are double minded. Atheists are very outspoken, with "the talk to the hand attitude." They don't want to know the truth, so they therefore run over christian, while playing devils advocate. This is apparent in many christians also. They believe in...

There have been endless debates, and problems with this for years and years. If Catholics want to settle for what they get from the Pope, or Weslyans the blessings that Wesley recieved, or Luther and so on, that is their affair. You cannot change people. Only God can do that. If people in...

The bible is absolute. It is to be taken literally. This is the written Word and will of God. Then there is your personal relationship. This is when you are led by the Holy Spirit. The written Word tells us how to be children of God, and that we are children of God. Personal relationship is ours...

Jim. I am so glad that you point out very consistantly, that all word of faith followers are never interested in history. Or that the same followers cast all of the Word of God to the wind, because they have absolutely no grasp whatsoever of what God's Word says. And that they are all greedy...

It doesn't say in Scripture that Jesus as God, had no need of money. It is scriptural that Jesus had supporters, and He also had friends, and Apostles. Job is often used in the dismissing of God's will to heal. He is also used in the example of having great wealth. And it was taken from him...

You know, something really amazes me. I nor the website said Jesus was rich and wealthy. He had supporters, and He had means in which He could accomplish things. The scripture is very descriptive of certain things pertaining to this. If I say He had means, and He was with funds to go ito His...

I am using a website to answer some questions. I don't have time right now to put in my own sermon notes, and write this from scratch. Please read the site. You will be kinda suprised and see scripture you may not know about. http://www.harvestchurch.org/Teachings/JesusWasNotPoor.htm

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. If you plant orange seeds, you will eventually get orange trees. And that one orange seed, will produce many oranges, and many more orange seeds. In the Bible it is written that we reap what we sow. To most christians this is a scripture of...
