    Why we should reject forgiveness culture

    I am not embarrassed to call myself a Christian because I'm ashamed of Christ. I'm embarrassed to call myself a Christian because I supposedly have the same faith as the people who insist that we be doormats. Given the recent mass shootings we've been dealing with in the last few years, we as...

    What do you think it means that Christ was recognized by the Father to be His son with a dove (Luke 3:22) and the fact that the mustard seed of faith grows into a tree into which it is said that birds may land? (Matthew 13:32) Does that means something special to you? Proverbs says that a...

    The Power to Forgive

    If you don’t use the power I gave you, I will not use my power to save you. Did God give us the power to forgive so we would be able to receive it ourselves? He gives us the power to forgive others so he can forgive us. Surely God could just say, your forgiven and be done with it. But he...

    When your observance to the Law falls short

    When your Torah observance falls short Many people within the Messianic faith focus on a persons acceptance, accommodation and commitment to observing the Torah given Israel. And many struggle with how, when, where, who, why…. in relation to Torah commands. I’ve seen throughout the years many...

    My prayer for today

    Dear God, Forgive them. Forgive the people who have left your guidance. I'm sure you remember how I left you at one point. I came back but others have not. Its not because they're evil. They are afraid deep down that truth will never come to them. Fear is powerful as we both know. Forgive them...

    We Once Walked

    And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires...

    According to His Purpose

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Ephesians 1 (Select vv. ESV). Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Vv. 1-2 Notice with me here to whom these...

    Vow Making/Punishments/Agreeing with Thoughts

    I've noticed a very specific pattern that my mind tends to follow: 1. Triggering Event: I do something that I feel guilty about. I have a thought that produces a sort of instantaneous vow to create a sort of 'barrier' to future sin, guilt, etc. Sometimes this vow 'feels' more conscious, i.e. I...

    Free Indeed

    Do you ever feel like what you have done is so bad that you could never be forgiven? Are you afraid to tell the truth for fear you will be rejected? Or, out of fear of other consequences? Do you remain in sinful addiction because you have given up hope of ever changing? The Lord Jesus led me to...

    Snatched Out of the Fire

    Beware! Both Jude and Peter warn us about a group of people who will infiltrate into the church and will have a terrible influence on many in the body of Christ. Their descriptions of these folks are similar. Jude says it this way: 3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our...

    Yielded to God

    If you are in Christ Jesus, by faith, how long have you known him? And, do you really know him? Do you know what he requires of you, you who have believed in him? And, are you living what you know, by his power? So many say they know God, that they believe in Jesus Christ, and that they are in...

    Is Your Faith Growing?

    In this world we will have trouble. But take heart! Jesus Christ has overcome the world. Amen! (Ref: John 16:33 NIV). The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Thessalonians 1 (Select vv. ESV). We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing...

    Walk in Peace

    Are you burdened by the cares of this world? Is your marriage falling apart? Have you experienced lies and betrayal from someone you love, or from someone you trusted? Have you lost a loved one to death? Has your health taken a turn for the worse? Did you recently lose a job, and now you don’t...

    His Benefits

    What is the Christian life all about? What does it mean to believe in Jesus Christ? Is it a mere “escape clause” written into a contract between two parties? Is it merely a free ride to heaven on a “gravy train”? Is it just a religion and religious beliefs and practices, also including religious...

    Giving Up?

    Do you ever feel that you have sinned so badly that there is no hope for you? That you can never be forgiven? Or, that you will never gain victory over your sin? And, so you give up? And, you just give in to the sin? Well, there is hope for you! Jesus Christ, God the Son, died on a cross, not...

    If You Have

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Colossians 3 (vv. 1-4 NASB) Therefore, if you have been raised up with Christ… That word “if” is a big word, although it often goes unnoticed. When we see this word “if” show up in scripture, we should take notice, for it implies uncertainty, the unknown, or that...

    Struggling

    I'm having a really rough day. I'm still struggling to get my college project done, and I'm really struggling with my prayer and meditation. This morning I went to confession, and, earlier this evening, I remembered what Our Lord said about forgiving our enemies, if we want Him to forgive us...

    Forgiveness and Offending

    All people experience times of conflict, hurt, and letting each other down. For some the offense may be as minor as forgetting a date, failing to run an errand or an act of clumsiness. For others, the offense might involve a major betrayal such as infidelity, addiction, or abuse. Either way...

There is a issue in the church today that I need to address and i'm asking for your views (backed by scripture of course). After you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you like 2...
