    Relying on God or man?

    What you re saying is true pastorkevin. Our reliance is to be upon God. But in so doing, we should not limit God to work just as we have expected; The Lord often works where we least expect Him; He surprises us by revealing His power through instruments of His own choice. By some there is...

    How to improve concentration?

    The ability to fix the thoughts on the work in hand, keeping the thoughts in the right channel, requires mental discipline. Mental discipline is a power that needs to be cultivated. The mind is to be trained. The brain is the citadel of the being. The cause of the breakdown could be improper...

    I could use a little help...

    You know that your sins have been forgiven. The Holy Spirit is still at work. You are learning that the religion of Christ means more than the forgiveness of sin; It is not only forgiveness for sin, but reclaiming from sin. The child of God is to reach out for higher and still higher...

    Depending on God

    It is God's purpose that our human needs be met through humanity. Look at the example, Christ took humanity upon Himself to meet the needs of humanity. We cross over the line when we place our trust in humanity for our needs to be met, or when the glory, which belongs to God, is given to...

    Depending on God

    I'm going through a similair situation now in my battle with cancer. My faith is in God for healing, but I've seen where there is also a tendacy to put trust and dependence in doctors and modern medicine. In contemplating these things I've seen that our dependence should be in Gods "power"and...

    Throat cancer

    Thank you for the words of encouragement DL. Jesus is at my side, helping to bear the weight of the affliction and words of hope and encouragmen, like yours, are regarded by the Father as spoken directly to Him. I'm trusting in God, that this trial which seems so bitter and hard to bear will...

    What do I do?

    Hi AlDeb. I've recently been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor at the base of the tongue also. I start radiation and chemo therapy next week. I'm sorry to hear about the "suspicious activity" on both sides of your neck. I see where your are faced to make an important decision. Seek the Lord...

    Throat cancer

    I've recently been diagnosed with throat cancer and will very soon begin both radiation and chemotherapy treatments. I would like to converse with other Christians who gone through radiation and/or chemotherapy so I can find out a little more as what to expect. Your thoughts and prayers are...

    Stop Playing Into Satan's Hands And Become Christ-like!

    I've been shown that all who profess to know the Truth are tested and tried this way. Our love for Jesus will be proved as to whether it is genuine. Meeting this element is essential to the development of good Christian characters. I've also seen that indulging in a harsh, unkind spirit only...

    Stop Playing Into Satan's Hands And Become Christ-like!

    And I suspect that those whom Christ commends in the judgment may have known little of theology. "The love of Christ," said Paul, "constraineth us." 2 Corinthians 5:14. This is to be the actuating principle of our conduct. So let the law of love rule our speech, and let love be the most...

    Stop Playing Into Satan's Hands And Become Christ-like!

    I understand your point in regards to the Pharisees Johnzz. A legal religion can never lead souls to Christ; for it is a loveless, Christless religion. A legal religion has been thought quite the correct religion for some. But it is a mistake. One who has merely a legal religion, a form of...

    Stop Playing Into Satan's Hands And Become Christ-like!

    You bring up an interesting point ephraimanesti. The adversary of Truth uses both legaliasm and liberality as devices to deceive people as to what is Truth. While, on the one hand, danger lurks in a narrow philosophy and a hard, cold orthodoxy, on the other hand there is great danger in a...

    Stop Playing Into Satan's Hands And Become Christ-like!

    It takes special watchfulness to keep off of Satan's side. If we do not watch on this point, Satan will put his jealousy into our souls; he will put his glasses before our eyes, that we may see the actions of our brethren in a distorted light. Instead of looking critically upon our brethren we...

    Question about Jesus judging us....

    Perhaps this passage of scripture wll help. Jesus said, "The hour cometh in which all that are in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of judgment." John 5:28, 29

    Stop Playing Into Satan's Hands And Become Christ-like!

    hello ephraimanesti. I agree, the love which should exist between church members frequently gives place to criticism and censure. Often, as we seek to present the truth, opposition is aroused; but if we seek to meet the opposition with argument we will only multiply it, and that we cannot...

    I need help growing into a better Christian

    Yield up your will to Christ, and by doing so you ally yourself with the power that is above all principalities and powers. You will have strength from above to hold you steadfast, and thus through constant surrender to God you will be enabled to live the new life, even the life of faith. Your...

    How do you meditate on Scripture?

    Thanks Treasurer. We should cultivate a love for meditation. It's spiritual exercise. One of my favorite versus is Isa 26:3. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee." Isaiah 26:3.
