    The Dead Man - Jesus said Arise

    “Soon afterwards He went to a city called Nain; and His disciples were going along with Him, accompanied by a large crowd. Now as He approached the gate of the city, a dead man was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow; and a sizeable crowd from the city was with...

    Consider ; “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons (or daughters) of God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    That is why the word of God is powerful @amadeus. I believe it comes down to having faith and love. Yes of course, but going to church and listen to a sermon that never invokes growth what good is that my friend? Yes we are established in the faith. Jesus Christ died, was buried and...

    In note of the flesh, @amadeus i have the same thing in me too. My flesh naturally hates studying the Bible. Our flesh is naturally hostile to the word of God. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in...

    Thank you for your comment. I would suggest that calling someone lazy would indeed be calling someone a name and to me personally it would offensive to call someone such. Though what about Jesus when he talks about the Lazy servant, His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew...

    Perfection

    That is very interesting, and to add to it. The art that is practiced is allowing God through Christ Jesus to come through our lives by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:1-5) and the spirit of Christ (Romans 8:1-10) abiding in faith, and hope. The greatest of course being love (1 Corinthians 13:13).

    Extremely painful situation

    Have you ever been in an extremely painful situation? One time I thought it would be a good idea for a friend to spray lighter fluid on my leg, and set it on fire. Boy was this extreme and exciting only for a moment, until I couldn’t get it out. Having to run around the yard coming to the...

    The Holy Spirit that came in acts2 is the reverse of the Tower of Babel, did you know that ScottA? Thoughts? It’s mainly Christians that tend to argue over doctrine and things like that. The main focus is to establish faith, in Christ, having hope while exhibiting love. 1 Corinthians 13:13.

    @bbyrd009 The reason you can’t put new wine into old wineskins is because if you do the leather bag will bust, because of the reduced quality of it being used already. In context from if I remember correctly this would be talking about how you can not mix the old covenant with the new...

    Shielding yourself from suffering

    Yes Farouk, He made this two minute video shared tonight. Farouk, it reminds me of this passage, 1 Corinthians 13:13. Abide in faith, hope and love, the great is love. If we have the faith and hope part in Christ Jesus, what would be the greatest after all this? To have love. Love in the...

    Shielding yourself from suffering

    In this life we all make stances on what we will defend. We also have to make the decision if this earth is our kingdom or is our kingdom of God where God through Christ reigns within us. There is a group of people who are consider apologist, and the word it comes from is apologia, when means...

    Thank you again for sharing, Marks. Thank you, Wynona, for your insights and comments. You mentioning giving, and thinking on giving alone, I am reminded of this verses. Giving should be a heart matter between the person and God you are right. God showing his love by giving his Son, and God...

    Naomanos, Thank you for sharing that with me. You know I’ve been taught a lesson from yesterday’s online ministry, and that speaker said that maybe in the next 20 or 30 years people may start simply doing home churches. You know I do not see nothing wrong with if anyone was willingly to come...

    Hello Marks that sounds like love to me, hate that guy got a big welt though, but they were willing to take time out of their day to simply help their neighbors out. I’m guilty of not doing this as much as I probably should, but God can help me and work with others too in this part of their...

    @Marymog, That is okay. You are made right in Gods eyes by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Lord Jesus Christ. Giving to the needy doesn’t always have to be materialistic, it can be simply encouraging people spiritually as well, and sharing love with them in the biblical sense. I...

    Im not opposed to people if they are lead by the spirit to give to someone some money, to help them out. What I am opposed to is demands or religious dogmatic practices that try to force it on anyone. I personally do not go to church, hardly ever. I’m not against meeting and fellowship with...
