    Blending Truth and Lies

    I read a lengthy meme on social media yesterday that describes the false message of the gospel which is widely being spread throughout the church here in America.

    Repent & confess every sin?

    Repent & confess every sin? Jesus added thoughts to the law (Matt 5:28). So, this notion we must confess & ask forgiveness for every sin isn't possible & shows a lack of faith. When the Holy Spirit reveals a sin, of course we should change direction/repent. Not begging for forgiveness, but...

    Bring Them Back

    James 5:19-20 ESV Believers Who Wander from the Truth It is possible for believers in Jesus Christ, at some point, to wander from the truth and to need to be brought back to repentance. This is not the same, though, as those who profess faith in Jesus Christ but who never die with Christ to...
