    Is It Proper To Quote Ghandhi When Talking About Biblical Topis?

    Dear B, Good point...thanks. Dear M, Less Christians truly yield to the Holy Spirit than should. A great deal of Christians are simply lead by their natural minds according to their doctrines. Dear A, I have read that when Gandhi was growing up he was very interested in Christianity and...

    Spiritual Maturity_what is it?

    Dear B, I think that spiritual maturity is measured by how much you are like Christ. To the degree that you manifest His traits you are spiritually mature. Specifically speaking this means that you both hear and do the will of the Father. Many in today's church are disconnected from hearing...

    Is It Proper To Quote Ghandhi When Talking About Biblical Topis?

    Dear P, Yes, but the distance can be shortened. When God says by My Spirit it means that our perfection is to be through yielding to Him. This makes sense because Christ was able to overcome because of the Holy Spirit in Him too. God bless, Justin

    Dear K, No, I don't have any qualms about that quote...I think it is right on the money. Dear R, I could not open the link. Blessings, Justin

    Is It Proper To Quote Ghandhi When Talking About Biblical Topis?

    Dear All, Recently, I wrote a blog about humility. Admittedly it is difficult to even talk about humility without sounding prideful but nevertheless I attempted to do so. As I wrote I found myself quoting Gandhi. I really admire what he was able to accomplish and felt that his words were...

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear R, Your doctrine says no but real life experience says otherwize. This is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Blessings, Justin

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear W, Relying upon our senses is quite different that living by revelation. Walking with God through hearing every word that He speaks through the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you, through His word, through others, through circumstance, through even the creation itself is what I am speaking...

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear D, This is what I am talking about when I say that experience comes first and interpretation comes second. Having been involved in demonic deliverance when I read these verses I can recognize that besides his teaching about the flesh and the spirit he is describing the indwelling of a...

    Do Demon's Dwell Within Christians?

    Dear All, I think it basically comes down to pride when people do not accept that they can have demons. When you strip all the rhetoric away it seems that people think they are above having a demons influence them from inside their body. Strange thing is that they are quick to believe that...

    Dear C, I thought it was good even though a bit of a read. I like the fire in it. I would like to hear the sermon. Blessings, Justin

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Dear All, Compassion does not mean acceptance any more than feeling badly for an animal caught in a trap means you approve of the trap. Jesus had a lot of compassion on the woman caught in the very act of adultery but nevertheless He said go and sin no more. If there is a grey area in this...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Dear D, I agree with what you have said and I think it sheds some light on why some turn to this life style. From one point of view this issue is pretty cut and dried...God does not allow for gay relationships. On the other hand, and where it gets complicated, is what do you do with people who...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    Yup yup, It is the whole types and shadows thingy. Once you fulfill them you don't keep them. Really, if circumcision is nothing...according to Paul...then neither is the Sabbath. Blessings, Justin

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Dear J, By Satanic I mean the opposite of what God intended. In all of creation God made male and female to procreate and therefore it is not in God's design to have that type of relationship with the same sex. I frankly don't know of anyone who has been completely delivered of homosexuality...

    Is homosexuality something God can redeem?

    Dear All, This is a difficult subject at best. I believe that homosexuality is spoken very clearly against in the scriptures and is, of course, sin. It goes against everything God is and as such, at its core, is satanic. However, I do differentiate between those who choose homosexuality and...

    Why Do Christians Not Honor The Sabbath?

    Dear K, The short answer to that is because we are not Jewish. Blessings, Justin

    Revelatin and Truth

    Dear C, No, no really. Faith without works is non-existant...meaning if there are not works that flow from your salvation you cannot say that you are saved. Works to don save your but they are evidence that you have been changed through salvation. Blessings, Justin

    Is Being Matriarchal Antichrist?

    Dear U, God is free to use anyone but I would argue that women need to be under a covering in any ministry. Now, when men fail to take their positions then God will use women to fill the gap...like Deborah...but it is a shame upon the men. Women should never fight to hold position over...
