There is an Old Testament grace and a New Testament grace. This video explores the difference.

The inner man and the outer man.

Check out my new podcast. :) What does it mean to be spiritual in Christ? The Spiritual Christianity podcast. Podcast #1

I took this from another site... Narcigesis "Narcissistic Eisegesis (“Narcigesis”) = Forcing the Bible to mean something you already want it to mean by superimposing yourself into the meaning of the passage, rather than interpreting Scripture for what it means about God, and letting the...

How to understand the Bible. Well, to be honest one must take in the whole counsel of God. Here is an experiment. Take an extreme view based on one verse or two...now..refute that extreme by finding a verse that seems to contradict it. Do it again and again...until you you have a whole list of...

Fresh off the press! My new book is out. This Covid time was beneficial to me personally as I felt constrained to write a book about God's ways in general and the way of God in Christ in particular. This is a big book. I waited to announce it pending access to the eBook version....for the sake...

I posted this elsewhere but I thought it needed it's own thread (as you can tell by this! :) ) "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." Matt. 11:6 People are not offended by the cross if it's seen for Jesus only and not for ourselves. In any group of believers there are at...

I've just recently learned of an evangelist named Erlo Stegan...a South African who went to the Zulus to bring them to Christ. I find his story very poignant, and reveals what is missing so often in our own ministries. At one point Erlo Stegan didn't know why God was not working among the Zulus...

...unless it is in character and nature. Stature is a whole other thing. God created everything to have ranks...to have priorities of importance. Structures require order. When a we build a structure do we start with the roof? There is an order to consider in everything we undertake. We get is...

Greetings, I think there is a lot of confusion about being IN Christ and abiding IN Christ. Being in Christ is by association...being part of a household. And abiding in Christ is by a direct union with God. Paul says.. "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the...

We can be faithful to God without walking on the level of the Spirit in Zion. We can pray and meditate on His words while remaining humble and thankful in all things. We can be quick to forgive and ready to help others. We can learn to be patient and have self-control when we learn how weak we...

Hi to all! :) There are many things that bring people together in an external way...there is our culture, nationality, political leanings, interests, hobbies... etc. That is on one level. Then there are things that are external things that penetrate more deeply into us ...things that are more...

This is a mystery...how both Father and Son share one Holy Spirit. God is One. But one what? God is One Holy Spirit. God IS Spirit. Does that mean that the Holy Spirit is a separate person? Of course not. There is no Trinity....there is a Godhead (Elohim) of both Father and Son. That's it...

Hi to all, I think it necessary to do a post on maintaining some discernment when trying to encourage or discourage people in their Christian walk. What normally happens is that there is NO discerning between the inner man and outer man of a person so that either a person is encouraged as a...

Hi to all! This thread is about grace. Not the grace that many people are taught by ministries that are trying to attract numbers and make money. No, this is about the grace of God as taught in the bible and experienced among the saints of God. There is a difference between being justified and...

The church that God is building is being built on two levels; the first being based on the common faith (Titus 1:4) and the other based on the faith required for the “high calling” which is in Christ (Phil.3:14). Some might suggest that this smacks of the “clergy-laity” split that has afflicted...

Happy new year to all my fellow Board members. We are that much closer to the end of this temporal simulation of reality. Soon eternal reality will swallow everything to the praise and honour of God.

Preaching is like turning over a cold engine with a starting motor. Once the engine is running you don't need the starter anymore. Then it becomes a question of all the cylinders individually firing in the right order. The church of God, once established, is not meant to be preached at but...
