    Growing In His Image & Likeness

    Holiness is not a lifestyle change...you can dress up a pig, but it will still desire the mud. Rather holiness is a NEW LIFE in Christ. This is the beginning of the salvation process of an entire stature in the semblance of Christ. Lifestyles are what men choose to live as...we don't choose...

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    Who accuses others of sin? You don't know what I do. Don't judge others from yourself. Do you believe the gospel 0r not?

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    grace is the God given strength to fulfill the commandments. Jesus overcame...and now He empowers us to overcome THROUGH Him and His power. Have you never read...to him that overcomes? We are thus empowered to walk in holiness and conquer the enemy in HIS name. So we are empowerted to WORK the...

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    ...as I believe you are also sincere in what you believe. But the gospel is far more than just a means of escape for sinners. Being sinners is our point of departure. We are forgiven of our past so that we can get on with a future IN God. The real question is the purpose of our salvation. Were...

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    What was hidden was the new creation in Christ that restores man to his previous fellowship with God. And a greater place yet, since God has joined Himself to men through Christ. Who could have foreseen that God Himself would fuse with His creation in order to create a "new man" that is made in...

    The Cost of Discipleship

    We are saved in order to be made fit for the kingdom. We must let everything we have and are go so that we may be found in Christ. If we only rely on what Jesus did on the cross...and did not follow Christ with the time we were given...then we will be rejected So that is why we must put the...

    Ephesians 2 - what does it mean to be saved by grace?

    We are saved by abiding in Christ....and living from His new life. His power (grace) is made perfect in our weakness. When we give up our carnal lives...His grace kicks in. Don't be fooled into thinking that Jesus is the lamb of men in order to just forgive sins in a general amnesty. The soul...

    We don't have kangaroos here because the igloos are too numerous and this impedes their freedom of movement...But back To the subject at hand...:)

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    Paul warned the Galatians to not resort to human efforts of the law after they had received grace....but to continue trusting God and having faith in His continuing provision of grace. Manna for one day cannot be kept over for the next (unless it was to be sabbath). "Give us this day our daily...

    Mind of the Spirit / Mind of the Flesh

    The presence of the grace of God in our spirits is able to save our souls if we continue in the salvation process till the end. 1Pe_1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1Pe 1:9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the...

    Yes! Every region has it's local principalities that need to be identified. The danger is always syncretism (a mixture of Christ AND something else) It is like leaven that changes the message and the behaviour. A wise man once said...when you mix Christ with something else...it is always the...

    Do you have proof of this? ;) The world hates the US because it serves it's own interests while claiming to be bringing "freedom" to the world. I guess one would have to be outside the bubble to see the amazing hypocrisy. I don't blame the American public so much...they are indoctrinated into a...

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    Not according to the bible....You are expressing your own opinions rather than looking to the word. What does this mean.? Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Rom 6:3...

    The Gospel was changed by God:

    The biblical position is that when we are in Christ...we just don't sin...not through human effort, but by grace. God will not condone sin. Jesus did not die in order to condone sin. He was resurrected to give us the same power as He has. THAT is the gospel. But to obtain this new life, we need...

    Admittedly I get my info from the media. There has been more than one recent shooting in a church building on a sunday by armed security. And many inner city schools have armed guards and metal detectors at the entrance. These things are going on. Gangs and crime are affecting the young in the...

    "Illegitimate" Children

    Things that were meant in the physical realm in the OT have become the deeper spiritual significance. To be illegitimate in the NT means to be spiritually illegitimate...as in...I never knew you. We need to run the race lawfully or be disqualified. That is the meaning in our time.

    Perhaps I'm mixing the US up with another country that has armed guards in grade schools, churches, airplanes, not to mention a homeland security act that basically gives the law the power to do...well whatever they want. Fear is the prime motivator that makes security the top issue. I don't...

    You may be onto something there.

    The media manipulation has turned this event into a circus. American society seems to be a powderkeg just waiting for a chance to explode.
