Doing good works for the sake of a reward sounds to me like it isn't from the heart, and shouldn't be reward.

The Parable says the Good and Evil people will be there. Will the evil people be clothed in the Righteousness of Christ? I think it is more of something to do with respect for the occasion. Meaning do you take it seriously? The Kingdom, Salvation, God. Whatever it is. Christ is the one getting...

4Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away. 26When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.27The owner’s...

The Parable of the Net 47Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea and caught all kinds of fish. 48When it was full, the men pulled it ashore. Then they sat down and sorted the good fish into containers, but threw the bad away.49So will it be at the end of the...

The Parable of the Banquet (Luke 14:15–24) 1Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 2“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.4Again, he sent other servants...

And im saying there is more to a relationship with God than reading a book. You can learn the story and read the Bible all you want. But if thats all you do, God can become Impersonable. I can read all I want about a famous person, but that doesnt mean I have a relationship with them. What I...

My relationship with God is very special to me. Mostly its just conversation, getting things off my chest and expressing how I feel about certain things to him. In my darkest times, when I am mentally unstable (im schizoaffective), I feel as if im attacked spiritually and I feel as if he is with...

In my opinion. And I have no scripture to back this up, but this is something I have thought of myself. Maybe the Father is outside of time, while Jesus was the Human form of God on earth, and the holy spirit is the presence of god in time. Something I've chewed on and pondered.

Tongues does not induce the holy Spirit sir. I have my doubts on tongues. I find it merely as a way of worshipping God. Such as Christian Music, Going to Church, Reading Scriptures, meditating on god. Its one of many tools in the toolbox. Whats important is how you really feel towards God. Your...

Passages in the Bible are great and all, but they are milk compared to actual testimony. What people need is examples of God working in there life to back up scriptures. For me its a mixed case. I know scriptures decently well, more than the average person, but scriptures doesn't do it for me...

Only One Time has God scared me. I shudder at the memory of it. I thought I was about to be smited on the spot and i had no idea why, and then i felt a reassuring/peaceful feeling and a audible voice gifted me wings. I remember that terrifying feeling well......but the memory puts a smile on my...

Describes how I feel. Just being noticed and chosen and UNDERSTOOD!!!! When nobody else is willing or capable of doing it. Thats my Hallelujah.

This bond came with a price. My mother is schizophrenic, like her mother. As a result, she attempted to kill me (i was told) and lost her parental rights to me (no jail time). My father is a navy combatant (killed people in combat). As a result, he wasn't very good as a father, but an excellent...

Maybe that feeling, is more of a calling to get closer to god. To find deeper meaning, than for a global or mass event happening.

In my opinion, it was the lack of satisfaction. Nothing was enough for him. He was made perfect, but it wasn't enough. He could not find "personal-fufillment".

The spirit is a wonderful companion! When everybody else leaves, or when nobody understands you, the spirit is there for you! When life brings you down, I find myself always being grateful for it. I've been helpless in my life, and I have had to surrender to God. Being on the brink of...

In My opinion, alot of people become Bible-Thumpers or Jesus freaks to make themselves feel reassured or because they have doubts and cling to scripture to save their faith. Its way easier to pass off something that is suspect to God if you want it to be from God. People look for reasons and...

That would make it all the more glorious.

45 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most...
