....or we just go with the easy path as the world does?

Christianity is about being in Christ who is all perfection. Jesus told the rich young ruler...if you would be perfect...sell all you have and come follow Me. We are to be perfect and sinless as our heavenly Father. Of course men have got hold of the gospel and made this out to be ridiculous...

The great lie of our time lies in the gospel of Barabbas who is pardoned on a technicality...thus being saved IN his sins. In other words he is a saved sinner. But we have a choice to make to follow after Jesus Barabbas...or Jesus barABBA...these seem the same at first glance. But when we have...

What GOD has joined let not man tear asunder. God has set us in families in the natural. We cannot dissolve this. Marriage is of God not men. The two become ONE flesh. Families go wrong...and so do marriages. But we have a ministry of reconciliation. We are to gather not scatter.

We must make a distinction between being a follower of Christ.....in order to become the bride of Christ and rule over the world in the kingdom...and simply surviving (being saved) and being able to scrape by. It seems so few make any distinction between the righteous and the holy. They are a...

This is a great way to avoid what I'm saying! :)

We don't choose who our parents are...yet we never divorce our parents. We don't choose our brothers and sisters...yet we do not divorce them when we have a conflict. When we make vows before the Lord to be faithful onto death....that is what we are then expected to do. Our spouse becomes a...

I think what Billy Graham meant was that Jesus IS the only way...but that not everybody who doesn't know Jesus will be condemned out of hand. We will not be judged by our beliefs but by our actions/thoughts/words. So if a man doesn't walk in the power of Christ and yet loves God and his...

The Israelites were saved out of Egypt. But how many pleased God afterwards? So God reserves the right to judge His own people. We must continue to lead a pleasing life to the Lord otherwise we will be cut off...just as they were. This truth maintains the proper fear to remain in obedience even...

sanctification is not optional. Without holiness no one shall see God. Sanctification is the process that redemption started. A cake must be baked..but without sanctification we are only half-baked. ;) Salvation is a process that must be maintained in order to be lawful.

What does this have to do with crop-dusting? We are talking about voting and exercising the carnal rights of men.

The way out of an individual judgment is a corporate surrender. Jesus talks of a church being judged ...together...read Rev. 2 & 3.

There is a tendency to see things of the kingdom as personal and individual...and then go with the flow of the world for everything else. But this is a great error indeed. We are to usher in the rule of the kingdom by being subject to the Holy Spirit as a body...rather than get authority to...

LOL It actually means overseer... I chose the episkopos handle because of the "visitation" meaning. It also means inspector.....as in one who has been inspected by God is now able to inspect others. But the deeper meaning is in the visitation from God that all ministry is to be based on. As to...

Desire comes from the carnal man. Fortunately we are not called on to vote or voice our own opinions...we are to pray!

Christ is permanent...we are only so permanent by abiding in Christ. Grace is the power that transforms our lives so as to be equipped to please God. The grace remains God's...not ours. I'm quite tired of trying to explain the race to people who wish to have a fairy tale ending of their own...

The church has been largely sidetracked into a human-appeasing salvation scheme rather than presenting the kingdom of God in power.

We are to walk in resurrection life according to the Spirit. We are dead to sin who are alive to Christ. The test of faith is that we still have mortal bodies. Does this fact rule our lives...or does faith in Christ? We have this treasure of a divine life in earthen vessels. Being BORN again...

You are talking about the beginning of a race as if it were the end. We are saved away from the world and sin so as to run for God and attain to Christ. Salvation in it's eternal state must be walked through to the end of the race...after which we will be judged on HOW we ran....that is if we...

The psalm (22) records...Eli Eli lama azavthani! (My God My God why have you forsaken Me) Jesus rather says..Eli Eli lama sabachthani (My God My God why have you entangled Me) There is more to this statement than a mere repetition of the psalm. Jesus is alluding to the sacrifice promised to...
