There is more to salvation than just having been saved at one time. A person who is saved from drowning does not automatically learn how to swim. And being saved once from drowning doesn't mean that person will not die from drowning later. So then part of salvation is leaning how to swim so...

May we beware of creating a god in our own image. A god that appeases our flesh....that is partisan to us the way our ego is. A god we have made from our ego. A god who thinks like us and never disagrees with us. A god that is always on our side. A god that protects us while condemning others. A...

Amen Nancy. He allows Christians to also be the worst of people...enemies of the truth and the cross. And these will have begun with favour, grace and mercy. But they are destined for a terrible end. All of God's ways are righteous and balanced. So then people know that heretics exist and...

To whom much is given MORE is required. We may have begun our Christian walks with grace and mercy. But truth must also make it's acquaintance to us. How will we accept the truth? Will we, as so many, refuse the truth in favour of more mercy? Now grace is the power to do God's will. Mercy is...

People tend to take things too far....to miss the bigger picture...and this especially when there is a self-interested motive. I would like to bring some clarity to the doctrine of sovereign (or irresistible) grace. This has become the heresy of our time...making God into a garbage can of...

"We gulp down the lies that flatter us but we only receive the truth that is bitter to us in drops (if at all)" Diderot

What is sad is when believers are not able to "add to your faith" anything that is outside their indoctrination. They have a rigid system of beliefs that one must hold to in it's entirety or not at all. So then other members of the body have no function towards them at all. They have adopted a...

I'm a seeker that is always looking to deepen my understanding. So it's not a change of doctrine...but an adding to it. Whether a poster is wrong about something or right...it makes you think. And contemplation and meditation is good for the soul. There are times though when I have to go for a...

Amen. The Jerusalem which is above. Zion. The mother of all who are born from above. "Derousha"...the city that is found by seeking...sought out. A spiritual realm reserved for the Bride. They who enter into it's gates know God and His holiness. The time to enter into it's gates is now.

That is also a miscalculation...since the loss of all things would be equivalent to losing all your own and even your clothes so that you are now eternally naked and shamed. In a great house there are both vessels of honour AND dishonour. I hope you pray about it.

I think Church culture has taken over from Church life. The origin of any Christian product is the world. But the life comes from heaven.

This kind of teaching is in error and leads many to never attain to grace. We will all be judged before Christ...and believers are more strictly judged than non-believers. Unfortunately they who seem to be teachers don't understand God's ways and lead people astray with their presumptions and...

Truly the promised land is found in Jesus Christ. And we need to seek to enter into Christ...to win Christ. Intellectual certainty doesn't bring resurrection power. Religious opinions have no strength that enables one to enter the kingdom realm. There is a true entering in. That is the high...

I think bringing in a "saved" status brings in more problems than it is supposed to fix. I see life as a journey and the Christian calling as a race. We are saved if we remain faithful till the end. So I don't see any kind of a finish before the end. So having stated that...we are working...

“That there has been over the last half a century a steady decline in the spiritual quality of Christian religion in America, no informed person will attempt to deny. I am not speaking of liberalism or modernism but of that evangelical wing of Christianity to which I myself belong by theological...

Persecution. But that's not going to happen unless at least part of the church comes to life. Otherwise why bother the dead and sleeping? What causes the 10 virgins to awaken? And isn't it already too late for the foolish ones...who never purchased the whole product (just the free stuff) to...

The problem doesn't lie with the wonderful provision of the true gospel. It's that people neglect so great a salvation because they are unwilling to pay the price. So people will settle for just the free and easy stuff....and ignore the full measure of grace. These will claim to have all the...

There is only one kingdom of God. There is only one Holy Spirit. There is One God. So you can explain things in different ways, using different cultural approaches. But there is only one truth.

This is but a reflection of what has been happening with the American church as a result of the American gospel and American Jesus. The church needs to get honest and humble itself. God resists they who consider themselves as the greatest.

Once forgiven always forgiven? That is totally unreasonable. We are warned...the wages of sin is death. Just because it's not death the very first time doesn't give any reasonable person cause to see the kingdom of God like it's Club Med. You reap as you sow. Christians are not exempt from the...
