    Transformed

    Dead to Sin Romans 6:1-4 NIV What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were...

    What Is The Good News?

    Pure Milk 1 Peter 2:1-3 ESV So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Another name for the gospel of Jesus...

    Our Lord Will Not Fail Joshua 1:5-6 NASB “No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life… I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous...” Let’s face it. We all have enemies. Our number one enemy is Satan, and he truly is the one behind...

    Deceptive Appearances

    Strengthen What Remains Revelation 3:1-2 ESV “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about...

    As Christ Loved Us

    How are we to love one another? What should that look like? What does it mean to love others “as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us”? “Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant...

    Witnessing at work

    Hello Friends, I need some advice on witnessing at work, and even more specifically, to those who say they, at one point in time, say they accepted Jesus, but now live according to the flesh. Being surrounded daily with cursing and perverse speech takes a toll, especially being that I once...

    Character Transformation

    How are people, in general, and the church, and individual Christians being deceived today? We are deceived when we listen to and when we buy into the words of humans, or tradition, and we don’t test what we are hearing with God, in prayer, and in his Word. Jesus said, “You have heard… but I...

    What did Jesus mean "If you love me you will keep my commandments?"

    Hey I know this has probably been posted a lot but I have really been thinking about this verse. I realize and believe works DO NOT save us, Jesus sacrifice does. I have been switching my focus from a life of fear to a life of love. I have treated God, and the people I love most as a a result...

    Furnace of Affliction

    Why do we go through trials and tribulations? What purpose do they serve? What should our response be to them when we are going through them? Should we try to escape them, to run away from them? Sometimes, if we can, the Lord may lead us to do that, such as he counseled his disciples that if...

    All the world still "Under the Law" according to Paul Romans 3:19-20

    According to Paul the phrase "under the Law" is defined as "under the condemnation of the Law" for all have sinned and so "every mouth" shut and all the world condemned -- in need of a Savior. Romans 3 19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that...

    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...

    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...
