The Grace of God 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 NASB I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you, so that you are...

Does the subject of law and faith ever confuse you? I think it can be confusing for those of us who were born in the Messianic age, and not under the Old Covenant, as the Jews of old were. I think, too, that in this confusion a lot of false doctrines were born out of wrong ideas of what all this...

Justified by Faith Romans 5:1-2 ESV Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. When we are born into...

I guess it shouldn't have surprised me, but it did. There's a belief that grace covers sin, no matter what choice you make...and we are free to choose whatever we want because God gave us free will. "Smoking pot enlightens and opens your mind to really hear from God." Huh? and Huh? again...

I've heard this poison preached by all sorts of people, including pastors and teachers alike. The issue isn't that your only human but looking for an excuse to willfully sin. Many look to justify their sins by claiming to not be perfect... Lets face it, were not. However when we know what it...

I've decided to put almost all of my prayers on hold, until I heal my wounds and free myself (with the help of the Lord's grace) from mortal sin once and for all. Some of my prayer intentions I have give to my friends to have them pray for while I am busy healing. It is my hope that once I'm...

Hello, I would like to ask for intercession on a few issues. I have an mother who is inherently evil and a grand high dark witch. She has plagued my life with evil since birth and I was finally able to physically cut her off / out of my life around 10 years ago, all due to the support of my...

I've had BDSM fantasies from early childhood and have been trapped into it since. It has been a nightmare. Praise God, by his grace he set me free 4 months ago. This has been a huge breakthrough for me but very isolating as no one knows. God answered my prayers and each time I had a thirst...

Hi Guys, I've made this account with the intention of finding some support for my good friend Sne who is currently struggling with her first year of dental school in the UK. She has just done an exam and fears she may fail her degree. She also has another test tomorrow and needs some immediate...

An Original Work / March 10, 2018 Based off Psalm 36 You speak words of love to me, But your actions deny them. Your eyes, full of adultery, Testify against you. Promises made, but not kept, Words spoken, often in jest, Hardhearted and prideful unrest, Put your Lord to the test. You think...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...
