And yet, it is not really who is strong or weak in themselves but who is strong in the Lord which requires us to all be weak in ourselves. It is learning to live by His life that overcomes, not our any strength that we have within ourselves apart from Him. I know that you know this Stan, and...

1Co_13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. If prophecies and tongues have ceased, has knowledge ceased as well? Sorry, to get off on a rabbit trail. Getting...

Jer 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: Jer 9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise...

Hi dragonfly and others, I am a bit behind on all the posts but just wanted to mention something. The Lord Jesus Christ obviously has to do something about this flesh nature, or we would never be able to be obedient to the Spirit of God. This is why the Spirit of God leads us to put to death...

Episkopos, you reminded me of another Biblical definition for "religion" as we are using it here in this post. 2Tim3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (We are commanded to turn away from them). Yes, Him working in us. Amen!! What people fail...

No man can pluck you out of His hand. But what will you do? This is a message from the Lord to the Churches (followers of Christ). Rev_3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name...

Hi mjrhealth, Amen! How did you come to learn these things? I would assume, "experience". :) Axehead

Did you know that your faith could be overthrown? 2Ti 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Only the Lord knows those that are His, meaning you don't know about anyone else, but you better know about yourself...

dragonfly, It's true that it does not take a lot of room to have 120 people sitting down and less room if they are standing up. I have had 46 people in my living room before and it is probably 20 x 17 and we were comfortable. If you take your time and follow this, you will see how simple it is...

h Hey there Big, For everything good there is a counterfeit for everything true there is the false. Is there "true religion"? Of course, James talks about it. The fact that he uses the adjective "pure" and "undefiled", before the word "religion", implies that there is impure and defiled...

The problem is not with God, Cliff. He wants us to know that although the times can and will get very tough, He will always be there. He is not the one that "blasphemes against the Holy Spirit". That would be man. God does not operate like man does and "embarrassment" isn't even in His...

Big Amen there, Stan.

Can Seals Be Broken? Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Paul's is using an analogy of a "sealed document" back then. When you sealed a...

Hi there dragonfly, During the Law there was a difference between freewill offerings and those that were required. The tithe, which was required, was not really a gift. It was a tax. Freewill gifts were voluntary expressions of love for God that came from the heart. And when ye will offer a...

Stan knows what I am talking about. Ax

Another form of religion: Religion is man's way of justifying themselves before men, but God knows their hearts. Matt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works...

Both Christ and Paul teach the same thing and that is "Christ in us". It is impossible to copy, emulate, mimic or imitate Christ. He must live in you and through you by the Holy Spirit, otherise you are a false son and not a true son (Heb 12). JESUS: John_15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As...

There is no such thing as the Security of the Unbeliever. Hebrews 4:11 Axehead

I believe righteousness is the basic quality of God’s character and His character is to be formed in man. For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. Psalm 11:7 The formation of His righteousness does not come instantaneously. For this reason Jesus...

There are different ways to be religious. I am talking about religionists like the Pharisees not people that take care of orphans and widows. They are not considered "religionists". I am speaking of false religion, not true religion. Just as there is counterfeit Christianity and true...
