    Grace

    A poem to Jesus. Praise Him, I love Him! ~~~ One day my life just turned to crap, and in panic then I prayed Jesus came into my house and saw the mess I had made, Lights turned off and my wounded soul crying in my bed He looked around at what I'd done, I saw Him shaking His head. Then He...

    There is Hope!

    Don’t Be Deceived 1 John 3:4-10, 18 ESV Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either...

    Hello Everyone! My Miracle Story

    Hi all! I believe God has a rhyme and a reason for everything, and I believe he has led me here to this forum to share my story. It all started from before I was ever born into the world. A few months prior to my mom's due date, she gets a call from her doctor saying that I had a condition...

    Bible Study-Self Righteousness vs. Grace-Luke 18:9-14

    Bible Study-Self Righteousness vs. Grace-Luke 18:9-14 If we think that we can be righteous enough, by the way we live before God, we cut ourselves from the grace of God in Christ Jesus. Of course, we have to aim to live righteously before God, but that should not be our focus, about our...

    How Deep His Love

    Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly...

    On Your Behalf

    For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles— assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this, you can perceive my...

    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...

    Every Blessing by Grace - Matthew 20:9-15

    Every Blessing by Grace - Matthew 20:9-15 Very often in life, we as Christians, think that we must work out, earn, deserve any blessing from God. We think that if we do not perform well enough in our spiritual walk with God, then perhaps, he will restrict his blessings to us, until we repent...

    Do You Agree?

    As brothers and sisters in Christ, how should we be treating one another? Does it matter what we say, or how we say it? Should we think before we speak? Should we speak in anger? Or, out of bitterness? Should we judge one another by ourselves, and by our own motives? Or by the standards of this...

    The Walking Wounded

    This phrase, “the walking wounded” came into my mind within the past few days, and it has stayed with me. I had some idea of what it meant, but not entirely, so I Googled it to find its meaning. And, I found these definitions: · “People who have been injured in a battle or major accident...

    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...

    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...

    Grace and Salt

    In our communications with other people, are we being led of the flesh or of the Spirit, or is it sometimes one and sometimes the other? Or, can we be speaking in the power of the Spirit, and then can we switch gears, and speak out of our flesh? How do we know if it is one or the other? What are...

    Pentecostalism VS Emotionalism

    For some time, I have not been part of the "Pentecostal" movement due to finding so many ministers and people relying on an emotional driven service. I believe there is room for emotional experiences but am struggling with the movement as a whole.

    Carried Away?

    The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 3 (Select vv. NASB). When we, as believers in Jesus Christ, trust in Him to be Lord and Savior of our lives, we are delivered both from slavery to sin and the punishment of sin, which is spiritual death, which is eternity without God in the fires of hell...

    Heavy of Heart

    I read Psalm 119:17-24 ESV Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness in your heart which you just can’t quite put into words? You have the heart of God, and you feel deeply what he feels, but these feelings also come from your own experiences in life, the things God has taken you through, and...

    Can't be around...

    As I mentioned earlier, I won't be able to go to Adoration and Confession today as I usually do. This morning things have taken a turn for the absolute worse, and I just, can't be around here today, maybe this evening but I find it unlikely. I may be back tomorrow... Farewell for now...

    Free The Captives

    Saturday, November 4, 2017, 4:00 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “The Lord’s Anointed.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 2 Corinthians 3 (NASB). On Human Hearts (vv. 1-3) Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you...
