    Coffee Shop (let's chat)

    Never seen a scone that I know of. It makes me think of the politically correct slogan..."feeding two birds with one scone" (as opposed to the dreadful killing two birds with one stone") :eek: heavens to Betsy! Then there's..."you can't feed a fed horse." (I won't even mention the original...

    Legalism

    Unless you get struck off your horse like Paul. Was he reading a bible? To those who are preached the truth by those who are sent from God? It is a law. But the astute among us will realize this is about recognizing the anointing in a person as much as listening to a message. How many people...

    The Crucified Life

    This is so sad but true. We only want to give to God those things that we don't want...our sins...anything filthy. But anything good we want to keep for ourselves. Truly pathetic. :( That is until we learn to live through Christ. :) Then we can suffer for His way and His will...and rejoice in...

    The Crucified Life

    I think it's the word .."crucified"...a deadly peril for the flesh. As in...I thought Jesus was crucified instead of me??? :eek::(:oops:

    Scripture is not the last word.

    Has anybody noticed that the list of the book of life is not included in the bible? Could we all agree that God will have the last say on things? (the God mentioned in the bible) Just sayin'

    Legalism

    We have a "cheat sheet" in the bible. People can SAY they are in the Spirit but they are saying so because of an error in indoctrination so often. If people didn't see the word Spirit in their bibles...they would have no idea what the concept even meant...which of course they still don't even...

    The Crucified Life

    This is a heavenly reasoning. :) But the devil's reasoning is...how dare you! How dare you know more than me! How dare you testify of something that makes me look like I don't know anything! How dare you be happy when I am miserable! That's when the accusations start. The devil has all...

    The Crucified Life

    OK I'm going to go far on this....and some will hate me for it. :) But there are two kinds of people that miss the walk of Christ because of the cross. The weepers and the gnashers. (my words) The gnashers are usually men...and the weepers are usually women...not always...but normally. Look...

    The Crucified Life

    What man means for evil God uses for good! :) ALL things work together for the good of they who are the called in Him. Only an all-powerful God can do that...and a loving God. Yet we mourn for those who must oppose us and hate us for the truths' sake. These are already gnashing their teeth at...

    Legalism

    PREACHING law and Christ are indeed mutually exclusive. Most people can't understand 2 concepts at the same time. when I preach of the perfection IN Christ...many people think I'm talking about me. So these can't even track ONE subject...Christ. When we preach Christ...we are speaking far...

    Legalism

    2 Corinthians 3:6 6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The law failed mankind because it presented a standard that men could not fulfill. The law made nothing perfect. (that is a...

    The Crucified Life

    AMEN! :) A sneaky God...yes...but to our benefit! What a wonderful God we serve! He wants more for us than we ever could want for ourselves...because we are ignorant of His great riches. His purpose is better than our wildest imaginations!

    The Crucified Life

    There is no spiritual understanding in your statements. We need to walk in both the death and life of Jesus to walk in Him. It's not a choice. Like when you get married for better or for worse...it's not a choice of one or the other. But as so many theorists you only want what seems easy and...

    The Crucified Life

    The spiritual conundrum! :) We want to have more friendship...but for the sake of love we need to let go of people. So we let go in order to obtain. We give up our lives in order to find them. Can you say...paradox! :)

    The Crucified Life

    Sometimes a spouse can get in the way of a spiritual advancement. I'm thinking more about the correct functioning of the church..like having experienced brethren around to encourage us in our time of being crucified to this world. Jesus promised us that we would indeed be forsaken by our...

    Legalism

    A legalist is one who pushes the letter of the law without regard to the spirit of the law. This is not to be confused with a law-abider who is in favour of the law and wants to obey it. Is Joyce Meyer not permitted to teach because she is a woman? Well, she can teach other women. She is...

    The Crucified Life

    Me too! :) When a person is going through surgery it's helpful to have a loved one nearby to help you through it. The same goes for the heavenly surgery of the cross cutting out the power of the selfish flesh out of us. The brethren are there to help us though that difficult process. But I'm...

    Gods Standard is...

    There is truth to this of course. But it isn't the doctrine itself that justifies us. It's what the doctrine pushes us to do. As in...what are you going to do about it? We hear so often...you have to believe (this or that) in order to be saved. As if there was a questionnaire to be filled out...

    Gods Standard is...

    Now, I must begin by saying that I don't believe in doctrinal salvation. But the divinity of Jesus ...His divine origin as being in God, part of God, from God...is really beyond dispute. Jesus Himself testifies that He is from above...from heaven. ALL have sinned...all of us created beings. But...
