  1. Not of the World

    As Christians, are you producing good fruit, or bad fruit?

    I realize that I'm posting this in the political forum but I'm doing so as a reminder to my Christian brothers and sisters that we are commanded to produce GOOD fruit for our Lord and Savior. Political discussion frequently gets heated and sometimes doesn't bring out the best in us. Let us...

    "You shall know them by their fruits" OR "You shall know them by the end they arrive at"?

    Hi there, So I really want to hit the nail on the head with this, guys: the Church has a very clear alternative, to face. Does the Church know its members by its fruits OR does the Church know its members by the end that they arrive at? Does the Church caricature Jesus one way and another OR...

    Why does God not introduce a *new* forbidden fruit?

    Hi there, This is just a talking point, that proves I've read the Bible from a critical point of view. The question is this: I don't want to prejudice the conversation, so I will wait to see how people approach this question, before writing further. If you need something to go on, maybe...

    Kindness v Goodness

    In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul lists the famous "Fruits of The Spirit". Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are straight forward concepts that even children can easily understand, yet there is deep personal meaning and blessings found in...

    Here's a likeable thread: name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like

    Hi there, So I will kick this thread off: Name one thing - about a denomination other than your own - that you like! It can be anything... (Jesus said, "by their fruits you will know them")

    Even More Fruitful

    John 15:1-4 NIV “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I...

    In principle, if there are more questions than there are works: something is wrong?

    Hi there, So I posted this thread about the difference between faith and works, and I didn't get a single reply - so I thought I would take the tangential subject and clarify - for our sakes, if anyone - how long or far you can ignore the relationship between faith and works: before you get...

    I was just given a message from God/Angel. I need help.

    I am 22M and I've recently been struggling with the christian walk. I've been a born-again christian for a little over a year after growing up agnostic and I am currently the only christian in my household. To sum up what God has instructed me to do in my christian walk is: make music, to...

    Faith Without Deeds Is Dead (without Life)

    Many today make the claim to be a Christian (like-Christ), yet they are trees without good fruit. Jesus warned us of these false believers who make the claim, but it is all talk. “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their...

    Fruit

    Sometimes I think God is just in my life to make it plain weird. I'm only half kidding. I know that those of you who truly know Him know exactly what I mean. :) Yesterday, I suddenly had a vision of Jesus sowing seeds on a field. One by one, and then they grew up, one by one. Then they turned...

    Unmet Expectations

    Scenario: The church at large, particularly here in the USA, though not the entire church, or every individual believer in Jesus Christ, has adapted itself to a false grace gospel. This gospel has all the appearance of being the true gospel, but it is deceptive, for it is a half-truth gospel...

    Abiding in Christ

    The Lord Jesus led me to read John 15 (Select vv. ESV). Are you in a true relationship with Jesus Christ? Are you genuinely saved from your sins, and bound for heaven? How do you know this? How can you be sure? What did Jesus Christ have to say on this subject? “I am the true vine, and my...

    A Beautiful, Bountiful Harvest

    I was on my morning walk passing through some cotton fields as the sun was rising this morning. I stopped and took some photos, two of which are in this blog post. As I was walking and looking, I was thinking and praying. I want to share with you some of those thoughts prompted by God’s...

    Wait Patiently

    Sunday, July 30, 2017, 9:15 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “The Letters.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Psalm 37:1-11 (ESV). Fret Not! (vv. 1-2, 7) Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and...

    Church Colors !

    It is not unusual for Christian’s to move from one church to another. It should be encouraged! Sure, there must be a consistent and consolidated body that makes up the church but without spreading of this core of the body, other churches will not be strengthened. A church isn’t worth its weight...

    Do you ever just feel like most peoples fruit is bad?

    I mean I do but not in the way I worded the question. We have all this time to do stuff for Jesus but it's like we don't do it and I'm like, bad fruit. So do you ever doubt that people who claim to be Christian are actually on the narrow path to the Father? I was reading some comments on a...

    Follow The Fruit.

    Follow the fruit. To be a Christian is just the same as the night is to light. God’s first act was to shed light upon the darkness of the Earth just as if one would shed a right perspective of clarity on an issue that is based on ignorance. Simply put; a Christian ought to be someone who is not...

    What's Our Mindset?

    Tuesday, May 9, 2017, 7:23 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Full Release.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24 (Select vv. NASB). Flesh and Spirit (Rom. 8:1-8) Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the...
