Hmm... I think she said is NOT, rather than is. "The Pastor shouldn't be king of his flock" :)

We are to be brothers, submitted to each other in Christ. We treat each other in love, seeking to edify, not destroy. :)

Nice verse to find there, Pegg. Good post. :) Christ calls us to be as he is. The power of the gospel is that he has indeed made a way; we can walk in the same ressurection life! A gospel that has no power to change us in this life is indeed powerless.

Cool story aspen. :) I was stubborn. Real bad. It's shameful. Until I was confronted with a simple thing the Lord guided an elder to do and didn't like it. I think I bucked for like 6 months! Not good at all guys lol. Then I cried out to God, confused and finally willing to let it go cause I...

I don't have a 'pastor' Robbie ;) He receives us, not the other way around. To follow Christ requires to leave everything behind. This life must be dead, that he might live in us. :)

Amen. If you do not hate mother, brother, and sister you cannot be my disciple. Unless you drink my blood and eat my flesh, you can have no part with me. We pay the price of our life that we may have his.

No one is righteous like God. But Noah was righteous. If it was as you say, we would be saved by gnosis, by knowing something. He showed us his character in sending his son, and dying for the wicked. In this, we are to be disciples of Christ, to learn his way, which is indeed love and truth...

God's nature is to love. God loves all because that is the way he is. He isn't pleased in condemning someone. The devil is the opposite, he's a black hole, taking and not giving. In the end, God will reward those who, like him, gave love. When he loves us, it's not so that we feel special...

You are twisting Jake's word. It is not about what you do. We are required to be righteous, to do what is right. On that level, there is atonement, the Publican is humble and thus forgiven. But Christianity is about us dying and Christ living through us. If you are dead, can you still live...

Yes. God brings us up, and loves us in hope that we would become mature and adult. :) The same way he plants seed in hope that it would bear fruit. :)

:)

:) By faith, we can move his heart, and by seeking we find him.

Yes! Well said brother :) We must decrease that he may increase.

:lol: You guys are funny. :)

We do not have to become worthy of it first. But as I said, the servant must be OR become worthy. Some people have cried out to God and dedicated themselves and seeked and THEN received his filling. Others just received it by his power. But though the details of our race and what it looks like...

Repent means to have a 'change of mind'. It means to turn away from unrighteousness to righteousness :)

If only we understood that Christ is completely set apart from this world, and our battle is not between one force of this world against another, but by the power Christ which is in the Spirit against all the powers of this earth that are under the devil. We are to shine the light to all, not...

Thanks Jake :) I like that; 'Jesus only began His ministry as an adult after all.' We can only minister Christ to the world when we are mature. Otherwise we are still babes in Christ, being tossed to and fro.

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, The church is to embody Christ, and to shine forth his light. Simple; Christ says 'I am the light of the world', then he tells his disciples 'You are the light of the world'. Is it that he isnt the light...

The Lord bless you too, sister :)
