  1. Behold

    James : explained.

    "faith without works is dead". I will show you my salvation by my FAITH... Lot of confusion about "dead faith", because heretics twist this phrase into "dead salvation" or "lost your salvation". And of course, James is not talking about salvation, he's talking about public discipleship, where...

    "Evolution", word. "Sexual selection", two words.

    Hi there, EDIT: I know my wording can be a little formidable to understand, at times - skip to the last line, if you just want to give a take on the concept I am working with. So this might seem banal, to make a comparison on a numeric basis,, of a broader theory, but also its being...

    African Examples Of Love And Praise

    This week, I thought I would share three experiences that helped me see the heart of God. All of these came from a Youth with a Mission trip to Zimbabwe in the 1980s. Our group was ministering in a village. I call it a village but it really was a white farmer's plantation, where the workers had...

    "in" Christ

    Religion is about what you do. Your good works, obedience, repentance, law keeping, how much you give, your church attendance, prayer etc. The Gospel is about what Christ did. His Death, Burial, Resurrection. And when we trust Him, what He can do thru/with "in us". The phrase's: "In Christ"...

    Is it OK to give ?

    - Probably the first tithe was given by : Gen 14:17-20: “at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he...

    Battling sin vs. Justifying sin (An explanation on 1 John 3:6, and 1 John 3:9).

    Battling sin vs. Justifying sin: (An explanation on 1 John 3:6, and 1 John 3:9): Modern Translations will say practice sin or continue in sin in 1 John 3:9 (as if to say it is talking exclusively of practicing sin), but this is not the case in the trusted KJV (that existed hundreds of years...

    More about The Cross

    One more thing i love about the Bible is that the word of God will always show you things , and show you more......and more.... The Bible, the word of God, talks to you by revealing to the spiritual "eyes of your understanding", more LIGHT.. You could spend your life sitting in a cave on the...

    Seek the Welfare

    Jeremiah 29:7 ESV “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” Where does the Lord have you in this life? Where has he placed you? He has a reason for you to be there. He has something...

    Understanding Christ: A Look Through The Book Of Luke - Luke 6

    There is a reason why the caption for this series says: UNDERSTANDING CHRIST: A Look through the Book of Luke. It is a look through the book of Luke for given the time frame we have we cannot fully exhaust the contents of the book of Luke in one month. So pardon me if my blog post tends to...

    Faith Working through Love

    Only Faith Through Love Galatians 5:2-6 ESV “Look: I, Paul, say to you that if you accept circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be...

    Someone help me: as a Creationist, I have God; as a would be Evolutionist, I have what?

    Hi there, So of course the natural reaction is "you have faith: good for you". But I think it goes more deeply than that. I think having a God, at the very least, means that I have something for Evolutionists could believe, if only I knew what. I know the theory: call that which was not, as if...

    I told Jesus I believe in Him. What do I do now?

    I’ve had a lot of problems for a while which some of you probably know. Also for many years I’ve drifted in and out of church as I feared my salvation but then for periods didn’t seem to do anything about it. I find it hard to care about people and have empathy. But I have the thoughts “Do I...

    His Gentle Whisper

    An Original Work / December 12, 2019 In the stillness of the moment, As I sit here in the silence, I am talking with my Savior, And I’m listening for His kindness. I can hear His gentle whisper, As He breaks through all the hush, And He tells me that He loves me, Which He does, so very much...

    An Original Work / November 27, 2019 When I was lonely and afflicted, You were there to pick me up. You took me in Your arms, And You tenderly held me. Your love embraced me. Your grace sustained me. When my heart cried out to You In my despair, You did not shun me, But You let me know that...

    Feeling Grace and His Holy Spirit

    I'm interested in surveying how people experience saving grace and the Lord's Holy Spirit. I have vibrations in my nervous system to the point where most of my nervous system is quite literally dancing for joy. Other times I feel Him give me an insight after meditating on something or He sends...
