    Preaching About Sin.

    The issue of sin is tackled in the gospel. The modern translation translates a liberation from sin (aphesis) as a mere "forgiveness"...or turning a blind eye to sin...and that is based on unbelief in the gospel. Jesus came to save the world...from their sins...not IN their sins, as many prefer...

    Are you in the Wilderness?

    Amen...all this partial holiness is so wrong. It is the sin nature that comes up with this stuff and accepts it as truth. There is no mixture in holiness. It's funny that people will say you can't be a partial Christian...that becoming a Christian is an event. But so often those same people...

    Are you in the Wilderness?

    To push the fulness of God into an after-life is to forego on the faith that attains to it. By grace through faith. Not many have faith. Jesus said it would be rare in our time. Unbelief is the norm. We should expect many nay-sayers to grace. But notice how God doesn't hold back His grace from...

    Are you in the Wilderness?

    In your scheme there is no test of faith....just the kind of belief that a Viking had that there was an after life in Valhalla.... if he could just hang onto his sword. This is on a religious level, NOT a spiritual level. The "afterlife" is according to hope not faith. Many confuse a future...

    Are you in the Wilderness?

    Thanks for your comments Hep! :) I've heard about the Keswick movement...anytime the truth is made to be a system or technique, it will fail. The truth has to be treated differently from all the dogmatic ideological ways of men. God is NOT an easy touch. We have to come fully to the end of...

    Are you in the Wilderness?

    Amen. I think we come onboard with God's hard training when we see our own failure...as Paul records in Romans 7...so that we cry out for a full deliverance from our sins. Some here want to think that the wilderness walk is all there is...and for many this is true. Is the training ever complete...

    Are you in the Wilderness?

    In this episode we are looking at an exodus from the carnal ways of the world...and not just those ways, but from every religious dogmatic ideology that causes us to come short of entering into the Promised Land which represents the kingdom realm of the Spirit that we are called into through the...

    This is wrong thinking. First, you have said you have no problem with fear and holiness. Very superficial assessment. And that's the problem...you think that anything of a more demanding nature than what you can afford has to be false. So for you, it is false. The reality is that you are not...

    Because I won't compromise the truth? The truth is not about me...and you shouldn't make it about you, whereby you get offended when a correction is brought forth. There is no reason ever for compromising the truth. Unless you had what you accuse me of...you wouldn't take the biblical testimony...

    God loves humility. But He hates pride. We can combine a religious experience...even spiritual experience with a now puffed up ego. When dealing with holiness, the stakes are raised MUCH higher. So that blasphemy against the living holy Spirit will never be forgiven. It's a death sentence. We...

    I'm always saying the same thing. What I don't talk about so much is the blessings received in the wilderness walk. Times of refreshing...of visitation...of blessing. I don't despair in the "lower walk" because the training is necessary to back up a character that must be Christ-like to remain...

    The Zoe life is an eternal life...a God life..a Jesus life. This is received when we are filled with the Spirit...as Jesus said...rivers of living water flowing out of the belly. What people confuse this with is psuche life...the soul life...the ego life. People are led to believe that one can...

    You haven't yet come to grips with the the perils of religious certainty. I have talked to SO MANY over the years...and hardly anyone takes the warnings seriously. Everybody thinks the ones who fail and are cut off...is about someone else. In a war young men don't think they are going to...

    What I see is that people rely on the "deadness of the letter" thinking that certain bible verses (misunderstood) bring salvation by accepting them as true for oneself. Paul wasn't writing about what he read...but what he experienced. We are likewise to experience the same things. Turning a...

    A righteous person IS submitted to God's righteousness...by the fear of the Lord. That's why we are to fear the Lord. Otherwise even those who claim to be believers are NOT submitting themselves to a higher righteousness than their own. The irony is missed on so many. But what undergirds the...

    It must be this way. A dogmatic ideology is meant to resist the truth. The truth is living. The ideologies are dead. Darkness cannot comprehend the light. Ideologies cannot comprehend the truth. The deadness of the letter is what many put their trust in...assuming that by reading it...they have...
