Maybe I should - I rang nationwide talkback yesterday against the legalisation of weed. So my story probably should be told.

Nothing new there... It took me 7 years to get fully free of the effects of drug taking and all that goes with it. Lots of prayer and ministry. The tempter and the destroyer does not give up in 5 minutes.

Matt 12 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Whoever is not with me is...

The modern church is teaching folks to go out and preach of a kingdom that they haven't established. That is the disconnect that the unsaved find unattractive. The Love of Jesus being manifest will result in a loving community of believers -family - sadly this evidence of the kingdom is rare...

James 3:16-18 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in...

Amen to that....

It is not about you... This is a very widespread attitude that I am pointing out. It even extends to God's right to choose and favour a Nation or a people. Millions today are violently opposed to such a notion. As believers we should recognise that God has the right to choose as He sees fit...

Sorry you feel that way - but Paul addressed the same issue when he said in Romans 9... 19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like...

This is the nub of the issue - attributing some malice to God simply because He chooses.

Receiving is ceasing to resist - this is surrender - not my will but Thy will be done. (actually this is a daily declaration as it is in the Lord's prayer) But this is preceded by belief which comes by revelation. And where does the revelation come from ??? It is given by His Spirit to the...

John's first chapter says this... ...as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. I believe the truth of the Spirit of Jesus...

So the Cross was not enough - some performance on our part is also needed ? We will have to agree to disagree. John 15:16 You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My...

Saving faith requires the confession Peter made. Matt 16: 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you...

Peters belief came from revelation which Jesus said was a gift from the Father. Matt 16: 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and...

The Gospel to be preached to the unsaved in the world is to be heard by all. Atonement is not limited, but Jesus said that no one can say Jesus is Lord without the Spirit. Jesus said to Peter that His confession of Jesus Lordship was from the Spirit. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is...

The text plainly states that Revelation is a message for the church not the world. He who has ears to hear is a telling declaration - in the gathered church there are the elect who hear and the tares who don't. Always account for who the audience is - this is a fundamental and essential...

Yes - The Gospel is the power of God unto Salvation. Rom 1:16

John 3:16 is not in Revelation- we were talking about who was invited to attend the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

I think we have different definitions of what the gospel is... I tend to think of the gospel as that which we are commanded to preach to the unsaved as recorded in the great commission.

Yes but within the realm of the churches - There will be wheat and tares there until He returns. The intended audience is not the World. Rev 1 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants.
