This is the seduction of the world you are speaking of. No mention of Christ and HIS power. It is relying on human means towards human ends. I think that Americans have been so blinded to this that they can't tell the difference between Christ and a president.

Politics is about law not grace. Are we to be enforcers of law? This is antithetical to the mission and person of Christ. Politics is based on violence....force...or the threat of these. Politics divide a country. The surest way to unite a country on the political level is to have total war...

I can buy groceries without being a farmer. I can take a bus without being a driver. I live in a country without having to devote my life to it. I can be a Christian anywhere in the world...and beyond. I don't need to identify with anything in this world....yet I still eat food and drink water...

Make programs? We are called to help our neighbour....not make a ideological utopia. It's ironic that I live in Canada which has universal health care...and is far less concerned with God. Are these issues related? Is it better to leave God and provide a humanistic ideology? In the end we...

Not inwardly....from the motivation. Our life is hid with God. There is an inversion that takes place whereby people accuse you of their own failings.

outwardly....yes! Inwardly to God's laws.

Of itself....no. But a vessel that is filled with Christ, is as Christ in the world. As He is, so are we in this world. Remember that Jesus was fully human just as we are.

And yet we have this treasure in earthen vessels. We are essentially just containers....more often than not, of a sum of all the things we have been inspired by, both good and bad. If we would allow His purifying operation to overcome ALL our hearts and minds....then there would be no more...

Yes! So often some people will agree with me because they have misunderstood what I'm saying. It comes from indoctrination. :) But the truth is there....even if we just nod our approval and ignore the content. As the old adage says... "Well received, dismissed by all." If I say...our...

I meant "Christian" in an historical sense....not a modern sense. What the bible testifies about. Humility dictates that we should never claim anything for ourselves. We should rather err on the side of "non-declaration." But the perfection of Christ is a gift to us who go to God by faith. Our...

A Christian is one who no longer is limited to what a man can do. Christ is our perfection. The only thing that gets in the way of a perfect walk is US. So then the power of the cross of Christ takes care of that...so that it is no longer a weak "I" that lives and walks...but Christ who lives...

The church has to go deeper into the truth....and stop doing things on the surface to attract more people in a superficial way. At this time, the churches advertise by tantalizing the self-interest. Getting "saved".....being able to look down on others as "unsaved"....etc. Very anti-love and...

Society must follow spiritual powers. If the church does not hold the initiative for advancing the kingdom....then this leaves room for the devil to advance his own agenda.

Overheard today..."the flat earth thing is going around the globe."

Perfection is allowing Christ to live and shine out of us.

Paul's reference to the law is not the law of God....but the laws that constitute holiness...or those things that were mere markers of an actual walk with God.

Only in the short term. The judgment of God will determine what shortcuts so many have taken that seem to "save" us and give us security.

Of course. Satan always wins over the crowds....the masses. Jesus calls us outside the crowd as individuals who come together....never as the crowd. Political power is by the masses....by the devil himself. As long as Christians look to politics they are looking to the devil for answers. So then...

This is propaganda of course. It's funny how Christians are just as gullible to propaganda as the world is. We are not to do NOTHING. We are to ACT as Jesus acted. We are HIS body after all. Jesus did NOT return evil for evil. He did good to overcome evil. ACTIVELY. How do you overcome evil...

How does one raise the dead? A magic formula? How does one walk without sin in the power and presence of God? Good morals? The spiritual walk in Christ is not according to this world. It is other. It is the manifestation of the life and power of Christ that as a seed falls to the ground, dies...
