Salvation is a free gift, yet it’s often treated as if it could be earned. You can acquire this precious gift in this divine marketplace without spending anything. Everyone can access the blessings of heaven, as the door to truth is open to all. There’s no barrier to entering this door; the Savior and the voice within invite us to come. Christ urges us to seek His refined gold, making us truly rich.

The gospel is a blessing available to everyone, regardless of wealth. Even the poorest can obtain salvation, as it can’t be bought with money. We accept it through the willingness to obey and surrender of our wills to Christ. High education doesn’t bring one closer to God by itself. The Pharisees, despite their advantages, were spiritually blind and poor.

Salvation can't be earned, but it requires a sincere desire that leads to a willingness to give up everything God asks of us. God will not complete the good work in us against our will. God wants your willing obedience, shows us our deficits, and empowers us to turn away from our sins to him as long as we submit to him.

Now, these words are being addressed to those who were once slaves to sin, meaning that they are no longer living in slavery (addiction, bondage) to sin. Sin is no longer their practice, but now righteousness and obedience to the Lord and to his New Covenant commands are their practice. Now they are slaves of righteousness. And the standard of teaching to which they are committed is what Jesus taught and what his NT apostles taught, which is not what is predominantly being taught in America today.

Yet, we are still human beings living in flesh bodies in a fallen world with all sorts of evils and temptations everywhere you look, pretty much. And so many people today are teaching a diluted, altered, and corrupted gospel message, which also corrupts the grace of God. And so even those who have been walking faithfully to the Lord in obedience to him may be tempted to be drawn into false teachings which may make no (or little) demands for holy living and for walks of obedience to our Lord’s commands.

And so the truth of the gospel is being reinforced here. Just as once we presented our members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, leading to more lawlessness, we are now to present our members (bodies, minds, hearts, souls) as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification. For Jesus died on that cross so that we would be crucified with him in death to sin and raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness.

For when we were slaves of sin, we were free in regard to righteousness. Do you understand what that is saying? We cannot be slaves to sin and to righteousness at the same time. It is one or the other. Either sin is our practice, and what we obey, in practice, or righteousness and obedience to our Lord are what we practice. So we are not righteous in the sight of God if we are still slaves to sin. The two don’t mix. And this doesn’t mean we are perfect and that we never fail, but that sin is no longer our practice.

And then really pay close attention to verses 21-23, for many people are teaching Romans 6:23 out of context, and they are making it say what it does not say, if taught properly in context. For the free gift of God is not given to those who are still walking in sin. For God’s gift of grace to us is not freedom to keep walking in sin, only now without having to feel guilty. For what does this say? If we are still living as slaves (addicted) to sin, the end of those things is death, not life eternal with God.

But now that we have, IF we have, been set free from our slavery to sin, and we have, IF we have, become slaves of God, the fruit that we get leads to sanctification (holiness), and its end is eternal life with God. So when this says that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord, we have to read that verse in the context of the whole of Romans 6, and in particular in the context of verses 21-23 which makes it very clear what it all means. If sin is our practice, it will lead to death.

So, we don’t just pray a prayer or confess belief in Jesus Christ and now all our sins are forgiven (past, present, and future), and so now we have heaven guaranteed us when we die, and it can’t be taken away from us, but regardless of how we live. For the free gift of God’s grace instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions (lust), and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for our Lord’s return. For God’s grace frees us from our slavery to sin so we now become slaves of righteousness.

So the free gift of God, although we do nothing to earn or to deserve it in our own flesh, is not without cost. It is not without rules and regulations which we must follow. For the gift is deliverance from our slavery (addiction) to sin, and it is empowerment of God’s Spirit to now live in moral purity, honesty, integrity, faithfulness, and in obedience to our Lord’s commands (New Covenant). The gift is not freedom to keep living in sin while claiming Jesus as Lord and heaven as our eternal destiny. So please see this!

Just a Closer Walk with Thee

Hymn lyrics by Anonymous/Unknown
Music by American Melody

“For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you” (2 Co. 13:4 NASB).

I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

I’ve felt like this all my life, since childhood, which was lets say sort of ok, sort of dark. I grew up not having a dad among other things.
I hated living with my mom since I felt like a parent to her, so I run away from home. I lived on my own ever since, I’m close to 40 now.


I’ve never managed to find a passion in life and stick to it. I only go through the motions. I work because I have to. I distract myself with hobbies and friends, but I still feel depressed, although I’m highly functioning so I guess it’s not noticeable.


Nothing worked to help with sadness, not therapy, not faith.

I got so hurt by people that I stop believing in true friendships and in love and marriage.

truly the only thrill from life I get is when I have crushes on men, so I can daydream about them while not actually doing anything about it, because I just don’t want to, it has no point. Some are married, some not, nothing is serious.
I even wonder do I have jazabel spirit on me, because I get high on it, being a bit of a flirt sometimes, but never crossing the line, not even with a kiss, nothing.
Even that doesn’t do it for me, because I feel guilt over lust.

Life feels so empty. I pray and talk to Jesus every day. I’m grateful for all I have, I have not much to complain about.
Volunteering makes me even more depressed being around so much pain, I can’t. It’s so draining.
Communicating with people seems boring. So I’m isolating.

I don’t know where’s I’m going with my life. Am I gonna end up in hell?
Did you ever felt like this, any thoughts?

I want some ideas on how to spend time with God, outside of just Reading the Bible and Prayer and want some input from you guys/women on how to do so, One thing I've thought about is picking up gardening.

Hello folks. Tomorrow is August 30, 2024. That day is important in Star Trek lore, as that is two days before the September 1, 2024 riots in San Francisco. I watched this Deep Space 9 episode. I will probably get the last season of Star Trek: Deep Space 9 done in September, 2024 (the start date of the Bell Riots). My guys, @Vambram and @Kylie might like this one.

Episode summary:
In the episode "Past Tense" (1995), a teleporter anomaly accidentally sends Commander Sisko, Dr. Bashir, and Jadzia Dax back in time to a pivotal moment in Earth's history [on August 30, 2024]. The episode received critical acclaim for analyzing U.S. social issues in a science fiction context, but also for addressing various societal issues such as homelessness, poverty, and technology. For myself, 2024 was a long time in the future, but 2024 is now here, and this year even has artificial intelligence tech that is almost as smart as Star Trek's computers in the 2300s.

Life Anecdote:
When watching the Bell Riots episode for the first time in 2014 or 2015, 2024 was 9-10 years away, and 1995 was only 19-20 years ago. Now, 1995 is almost 30 years ago, and September 2024 is only three days away. Currently watching Deep Space 9 again to the end for the first time in my life, as I didn't understand the societal complexities of the show as a teen 9 years ago (gave up the show halfway twice in 2014 and 2017).

Seems like a legit reason to me.

I noticed throughout Harris' interview with CNN, that she kept looking down; as she was answering the scripted questions; as if she herself was reading a script.

Where do you suppose the teleprompter was hidden from camera view?

  I don't encourage physical punishment but a figurative "slap in the face" is definitely what a lot of disruptive students in the classroom need. Send them to the office to have a talk with the principal, in school suspension or out of school suspension. If it needs to be done every day, do it. Let the administration handle the problem. If the administration says the teacher needs to handle the situation (and the teacher has), get the union involved. Here is the big problem (and a lot of parents are really in the dark about it) students think they are on equal standing with their teacher - they aren't. Students need to respect the authority of the teacher and this needs to be taught in schools starting in kindergarten. Unfortunately, a lot of students don't listen to their parents so they bring that same attitude to the classroom. It needs to be crushed when they are young because the students take it for a ride as they get older.

I just had my response comment censored by MSN so I wanted to bring the whole argument here to do some more discussing of the subject. I responded to a person who said "students in the classroom need to be slapped up a little more often". Now I know students should never be touch by a teacher not alone "slapped up a little" but I responded to the person's comment by saying "I don't encourage physical punishment but a figurative "slap in the face" is needed...". Now the reason I said that is because my wife is a teacher and she along with growing number of teachers are get overwhelmed by disruptive students in classrooms. There is NO respect for teachers in the classroom and alot of students are just sitting in the classrooms socializing with others (and being disruptive) or they are on their cell phones. It has gotten very bad everywhere. These are some of my other comments on the subject:

• • I agree with you that some students learn better by watching something than by listening. But the teacher should be the one who runs the slide presentation, video, and electronic easels. Students should NEVER be allowed to have cell phones in the classroom and their computers should only be allowed to be connected to what the teacher wants them to be connected to. My wife is a high school teacher (for about 18 years) and one of her biggest problems in the classroom are students on social media and not paying attention to her presentation. When you try to correct these students they get defensive with the teacher. Back in the day when there was more respect for the teacher and his/her authority in the classroom, it would have been fine to bring notebooks, laptops or cell phones into the classroom. Now, students think they are the center of the universe and they can do what they want in the classroom. So, the hammer now has to come down on them because they aren't even trying to learn anything. They just want to socialize. Now, we can talk about how we should give kids a decent social time during the school day but during class time, it's pay attention time.

    Because they are not using the social media to learn. They are using it to socialize with their friends and not paying attention to what is being taught to them. If the teacher had control of what the student is watching on his/her notebook, laptop, cell phone then it would work well. What happens then is the student does lousy in the class, parent/student blame the teacher when it was the student's fault in the first place by not paying attention. My wife is a teacher and every teacher she has worked with over the years, identifies this as the biggest problem. In the one school, the administration got smart and they gave teachers a software package that allowed them to see what each student was doing on their notebook, laptop or cell phone. This allowed the teacher to shut down any social media programs that students weren't suppose to be using during class time.

Any other thoughts in the classroom? What should students be allowed to bring to class? What can be done about student's visiting social media sites during class time?

im not exactly sure where to start but il give it my best shot
im 14

I have close to zero control over my life and thus can do nothing about the issues i deal with

in the last month 4 cars have broke down
we already live check to check
my mom can get to work but as for how long we do not know
I was deep into sin for a solid 6 years
I recently freed myself,and during that time i already hadnt heard from God in 4 years
but sin kept me praying,guilt,fear ect God never responded but it helped
now i have no attachment or pull
i dont know if i belive in God
but i think i do

There's 3 sides of the story with this one.

Conservatives: Kamala Harris has stated she will sign a bill that allows 650 million dollars to go toward building the border wall. She also used photos of portions of the border wall built by Donald Trump in a political ad stating how tough she was on illegal immigration.

Progressives: The bill was a bipartisan bill that requires compromise on Harris' behalf to get policy on other progressive issues passed. The money is also not new money, but money that was already allocated to building the wall.

Independents: Harris is playing both sides of the field.

Let's hear your opinions.

I have a new guy in my life, he is a church member at the church I go to. Have known him for 5 years as friends at first. He is a great guy. Last time I dated was 10 years ago after a divorce and decided to try it again. He is a widower, lost his wife to breast cancer, dated several that were bad to him. He is the one that asked me on a date and told him yes.It was this afternoon at church. Going on a date on Saturday

Hi, everyone.

I am 30 years old and am dating a 20-year-old girl. I haven't dated many girls in my life, but all who I have dated were around my age, excpect for this one I am with right now. I really like her and our relationship has been very respectful. Our families approve of us dating. However, since the very beginning, this large age gap has been weighing on my mind and causing me a lot of worry. Sometimes I feel like I am creep for dating someone so much younger. What should I do? Should I end things now, even if that hurts me and her? I want and I need to make the right decision.

Thank you

I am thinking of theodicies, and why God created Lucifer knowing he would become so evil and curse so many. God loves us, and I tried describing that to a friend, but my explanation did not cut it with him. He is a free thinker, seems to have settled for pantheism, the universe is his god. Does anyone have a gift or a dream on this matter?

In this article from NBC, an audit of over 300 case involving sexual abuse of children the FBI was extremely deficient its investigations. In one case in particular a child had continued to be abuse for an additional 15 months while the FBI continued its investigation. In over 40% of cases it was found the FBI was not following mandatory reporting requirements. In some documentation was not present and in others the FBI needed to begin investigative steps that should have already been taken at the beginning. The article also discusses the failures of the FBI in the Larry Nasser (US Gymnastics Team doctor) case.

It seems the FBI is failing in protecting children from predators. I work on an Anti-Human Trafficking Initiative and often handing cases involving sexual abuse of child and sexual abuse materiel (known as CSAM). Some of the cases I received from the FBI. I hate to imagine my work on those just sitting in some file with no action taken on them, because I make sure I provide actionable intelligence.

I recently met with a local law enforcement office from what is called an ICAC Unit (Internet Crimes Against Children) and he told me how critically short staffed and under funded they are in dealing with these issues. The largest city in my state that has a population of about three quarters of a million people has only one ICAC detective. He or she cannot have the capacity to deal with the millions of tip and pieces of actionable intelligence.

I won't point fingers any anyone (Liberal v. Conservative/Democrat v. Republican), but I will blame the FBI for its failures in the cases sited. These horrific crimes will continue until actions are taken in the form of staffing and funding, along with proper training.

Interesting and helpful. When I was a Reformed Baptist I view Luther through a Reformed lens due to Bondage of the Will but that is simply not the case.

Yours in the Lord,

jm

I'm in my mid 40s, really want to get married to a good Christian woman and start a family.

My 40s kind of crept up on me, a series of jobs to different countries meant I never was at a place long enough to meet someone to settle down - I had to leave when the work ended and two previous long term relationships ended in the previous two countries I left respectively.

Now I look back on my life and wonder whether all the career chasing was worth it. Maybe it would have been better if I lived a simple life and raised a happy family.

Even now while I am in Taiwan, Christian, English speaking women are rare enough and I will probably relocate again for work in several months tops. It is not uncommon for women here to not want to start a family.

So we finally get an interview with Harris. But it’s really not. They are partnering her with a babysitter…Walz.

Everyone who has seen any interview of any length knows why. She cannot be allowed off script. So it will definitely be interesting to watch how many times Walz has to chime in.

I have a theodicy that bases the root of evil amidst a good God who has all knowledge and might dependent on the fallen angels. I also think that God did not make some of the angels knowing they would fall and made Raphael and perhaps others even Michael...

So Lucifer, complete, only one rebellion, that can be finished with finality.

A greater angel or a number of them not made, maybe 2089 others. Could have been a great toll on the holy angels, God and young souls. More in number, strength, wisdom, injury effect. Able to tempt beyond resistance?

Lesser evil, maybe more than one rebellion, no final victory over it, testing without full efficacy.

With a full Satan, in strength and wisdom... we have a full new nature, final and full sanctification, greater glory, rewards and freedom.

What can I say to my friend who can't see enough care and love and wisdom in my short two page theodicy?

So in this article it gives contradictory information as to who leads NC based on the following two quotes. Was it a typo, or different polls, or what happened?

Overall, Harris leads Trump by 1 point (48 percent support to 47 percent) among all the respondents surveyed in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina

Here are the Ten Commandments from Exodus, in a revision of an existing English translation, tell me what you think, please.

Exodus 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying,

• 2 "I am YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 "You shall have no other gods before me. 4 "You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I YHWH your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
  
• 7 "You shall not take the name of YHWH your God in vain; for YHWH will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
  
• 8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work; 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to YHWH your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; 11 for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore YHWH blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.
  
• 12 "Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which YHWH your God gives you.
  
• 13 "You shall not kill.
  
• 14 "You shall not commit adultery.
  
• 15 "You shall not steal.
  
• 16 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
  
• 17 "You shall not covet your neighbour's house;
• you shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbour's."

Does God know our name before we are born ? Does your name suit who you are ? What does your name mean ?

This here is an example of one of those passages of Scripture which must be read in its full context in order for us to get the correct understanding of what it is teaching. I know that the books of Galatians and Colossians cover the same subject. So to get a really good handle on this subject it would be good if you could read all three books in their full context. For the full context is especially critical with regard to this particular subject.

Let me summarize my understanding of what was taking place then. Then I will look at how this passage of Scripture can be applied to our lives today. For just like the word “works” is used in the Scriptures in two different ways, one in a negative sense, and one in a positive sense, so is this word “law.” But when it comes to Paul teaching on this subject he is generally using the word “law” to refer to the Old Covenant liturgical, ceremonial, sacrificial, purification, and dietary laws and restrictions, including circumcision.

So, when he said that the righteousness of God was manifested apart from the law, he is not talking about the commandments of God under the New Covenant and God’s moral laws. He is speaking of the liturgical and ceremonial laws of the Old Covenant, which were done away with when Jesus Christ died on that cross for our sins. They were all the things which were external that could be practiced without it doing anything to change the human heart or to lead anyone to repentance and obedience to God.

And the reason that Paul had to cover this subject so much was that there were Judaizers among the believers in Christ who were convincing many of them that they had to add on to their faith circumcision and some of the Old Covenant ceremonial laws and customs. But then we have people today who are distorting this subject and they are teaching a “lawless” faith in Jesus Christ which is of the flesh of humans, and not of God. But Jesus didn’t die on that cross so that we could now live in sin guilt and punishment free.

So many are teaching a faith that is of human origin and not the faith that comes from God, and is persuaded of God, and is gifted to us by God, and is not of our own doing – not of the will nor of the flesh of man. And they are diluting the meaning of faith to be some sort of words we pray or confess, or to some acknowledgement of who Jesus is and to what he did for us on that cross, or to some emotional acceptance of a false grace of God. And then they are promising them heaven, but regardless of how they live.

That is not the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it is not the grace of God which is bringing us salvation, and which is training us to renounce (say “No!” to) ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives while we wait for our Lord’s return. For Jesus said if anyone would come after him, he must deny self, take up his cross daily (die daily to sin) and follow (obey) him. For if we hold on to our old sinful lifestyles, we will lose our lives. But if we deny self, die daily to sin, and follow Jesus in obedience, then we have the hope and the promise of eternal life.

For “faith” in Jesus Christ means “persuasion of God.” And in the Scriptures, God persuades us as to his righteousness and holiness, and of our sinfulness, and of our need to die with him to sin and now live to him and to his righteousness in walks of obedience to him and to his commands. And we are taught that faith that is of God results in obedience to his commands and in holy living and us no longer walking in sin. And we learn that if sin is what we practice, and not obedience, that we won’t have eternal life.

[Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 1:12-13; John 6:44; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:23-31; Hebrews 12:1-2]

Yes, God’s grace to us is his gift to us, but his grace requires that we die with him to sin and now live holy lives, pleasing to him, and that we no longer walk in sin. And that is his gift to us, because we can only live like that by his grace and in the power of God, and because of what Jesus Christ did for us in dying on that cross so that we can die with him to sin and be raised with him to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but now as slaves to God and to his righteousness (Romans 6:1-23).

So, don’t buy into the lies which are telling you that the faith to believe in Jesus Christ requires nothing of you other than your profession of faith, and that no works are required of you, and that you do not have to obey the commands of our Lord. That is a man-made gospel which is not of God and is not in agreement with the gospel that Jesus and Paul and the other apostles taught. For if we continue living in sin, and not in walks of obedience to our Lord, we will not inherit eternal life with God.

[Matt 7:21-23; Lu 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Rom 2:6-8; Rom 6:1-23; Rom 8:1-14; Rom 12:1-2; 1 Co 6:9-10,19-20; 1 Co 10:1-22; 2 Co 5:10,15,21; Gal 5:16-24; Gal 6:7-8; Eph 2:8-10; Eph 4:17-32; Eph 5:3-6; Col 1:21-23; Col 3:1-17; Titus 2:11-14; 1 Jn 1:5-10; 1 Jn 2:3-6,24-25; 1 Jn 3:4-10; 1 Pet 2:24; Heb 3:1-19; Heb 4:1-13; Heb 10:23-31; Heb 12:1-2]

Songs in the Night

An Original Work / December 18, 2013

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.” Acts 16:25 NIV ‘84

Lord, I praise You forevermore.
You, my Savior, I now adore.
Hope in heaven awaiting me,
Because You died at Calvary.

I have been forgiven,
And I’m bound for heaven.
Jesus set me free from
All my sin, I say.
I will praise Him always!

Lord, I love You for all You’ve done:
Overcame death, my vict’ry won!
Jesus saved me, and now I’m free!
I rejoice in His love for me.

I will walk in vict’ry!
My sin is but hist’ry!
I am free to please Him
With my life today.
I will love Him always!

Lord, I thank You for giving me
A new life bought at Calvary.
Loving Jesus, I meet with Him.
Tender mercies now flow within.

Lord, I am so thankful;
Through my Lord, I’m able
To sit at His table;
Fellowship with Him.
I will thank Him always!
