1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that...

Amen! With God all things are possible! :) I think it pleased God not to allow them (the OT saints) to be perfected apart from the NT saints, and the New Covenant. The upgrade, I would say, actually comes in heart. Now, by the New Covenant, we the love of God may be perfected in us, and by his...

He who loves me follows my commands. If this makes Jesus a works teacher, then I'm all for works... Works of the Father, that is! ;) The fulfillment of the law is love. We are called to love as HE loved. In other words, we walk by his love, seeing with his eyes. We are called to have the love...

Here are some wise words from Wesley on the subject: But it may be asked, if there be no true love of our neighbour but that which springs from the love of God, and if the love of God flows from no other fountain than faith in the Son of God, does it not follow that the whole heathen world is...

I would say he did do things uncommon to man... Until then. Things that are impossible to man... But possible with God. The things he did, we cannot do, except by him. :) We are able to follow WHILE in our mortal bodies, IF we leave our nature and take on his.

One thing I would say is that the heart is NOT the mind! :o The journey from the head to the heart is the most important, and many have the things of God in their heads, but do not have them in their hearts!

There are many styles... But really, it is not about a style being 'appropriate', but about this being expedient. From how I see it, and I have listened to all sorts of music in my teenage years, and this is one style which only works us up, only creates noise. I don't judge someone for...

Grace is an endowment from above to which we have access by faith. It is a gift of God because we didn't earn strength... We didn't earn him giving us the power to obey him. But it remains this! 2a) of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence upon souls, turns them to...

Good subject, Vengle! :) In the Spirit there is freedom... Freedom to glorify God! Studying all these scriptures in depth, seeking out context, etc, is a sizable task. In short I would say that these pertain to order. Man is the head of the woman, as Christ is the head of the church. On women...

We were given a spirit of love, gentleness, and meekness :) .... Metal does not exemplify this. If our christianity will be nothing more to us than our culture, than it works! But if we want to walk in the Spirit, be full of peace, and speak life, these kind of things are no expedient for us.

May your will be done in this, Lord, and may you comfort all in this and be with all, and may your hand be over calbhach, her family, and her grandmother! May the Lord keep you, calbhach!

We don't have a cloak. An advocate? Yes. A merciful God? Yes. Think of Jesus as a union representative. And then think of the Father as a supervisor. Now think that this Jesus willingly came down from a management position to be simple worker, lifting boxes and doing mundane jobs because he...

It's James, I think it's also called the 'golden law' in another translation. :) This is the standard of righteousness, the righteousness that is necessary to salvation. In the Spirit there is freedom... Freedom to what? To love. :)

Makes me think of Philip too... He reaches beyond the earthly limitations!

Yes! 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not...

To the opposite! He was fully God and fully man... But he chose to lay aside his own power, and be as a man. :)

I would say adopted Israelite. :)

Amen! ;)
