    Evangelism

    Man, people make this harder than it is. Jesus said to go into the world and make disciples of all the nations. Who are called? We are all called, those who say YES! Now, is everybody going to be standing behind a pulpit? No Is everybody going to actually travel to the far ends of the...

    What or who is the Bride of Christ?

    "Mother in Heaven" ?? No way, this isn't biblical AT ALL. I am the Bride of Christ, those who have been chosen by the Bridegroom. This teaching is you are teaching is NOT biblical. This man I believe (WINEPRESS) might have good intentions, but this isn't sound biblical doctrine. This comes...

    The Importance of Fasting.

    Fasting out of "religious duty" is just that, religious. I want nothing to do with "religiousness". I want relationship with my beloved Savior, Jesus Christ.

    treasure hidden in a field...

    Thank you for the follow up. I know the popular interpretation of this parable. I in no means disagree with anything you just posted as well, praise the Lord! We are absolutely saved by grace through faith, which is a gift. This is such a blessing, I totally get that. I see exactly what you...

    How do you invite a person to church?

    I heard some good things from all of these posts and praise God, you are out there shining light and "laboring" for the Lord and His harvest. When I meet people, now as a Christian, it is pretty obvious most of the time that "something" is different about me. I try to make a point to smile and...

    What does it mean to trust in Jesus?

    1 Corinthians 5:6-8 NKJV [6] Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? [7] Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. [8] Therefore let us...

    Righteousness...?

    What if your neighbor is gay? Well, Jesus says to love our neighbors as ourselves.. He also tells us to love our enemies. His Word says He is kind to unthankful and evil men, so we should be too. Jesus tells us to approach OUR OWN salvation with fear and trembling, He also tells us that it is...

    Water baptism

    I love the discussion, and from my personal experience, I was saved and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit during conversion, and 5 months later, I was convicted by Him to get water baptized. I know I was saved before this. I am saved by GRACE through FAITH, which is a gift from God. His...

    Righteousness...?

    Our righteousness is in Christ, and before He revealed Himself to us, we were enemies of God. (Romans 5:10) I would say that believing in Him is a start, and walking in righteousness is to submit to Him entirely and do His will. To love the things that He loves and to hate the things that He...

    treasure hidden in a field...

    I won't comment on your personal interpretation of the parable, because I feel like the parable describes exactly what it is supposed to describe, but I will add this verse from Romans, that says what the Kingdom of God/Heaven is, also Jesus tells us what to do as well in Matthew. Matthew 6:33...
