    Does anyone else feel new growth of Fruit lately?

    Hebrews 12: let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has...

    Do you speak against "Sinlessness"?

    Some call Sinlessness "Sinless Perfection" when from day one of being born again of the Spirit that person has been cleansed of ALL Unrighteousness. That person is sinless, because not only does Christ take away our past sins (2 Peter 1:9) but the desire to sin from the sin nature has also been...

    The Difference between RIGHEOUSNESS and HOLINESS

    Do not be left behind or unprotected during the Great Tribulation that is just about upon us, even at the door. Of the 7 church ages, only the Philadelphian type of Christian will be kept from the hour of trial. That means either raptured in a pre-trib rapture, or supernaturally protected as the...

    To the Curmudgeons posting and responding with sour grapes

    Did you know that verses 21-23 was about 19-20??? Let's stop all the nasty, sarcastic posts and responses and grow up! 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord...

    CAN YOU BE SAVED AND NOT LOVE JESUS?

    John 14:23-24 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; … 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words. Only the righteous and holy will reach heaven as seen in Revelation 22:11. You cannot be righteous in your own willpower so you cannot save yourself...

    Was the Thief on the Cross Baptized or Not?

    Please give a reason for your answer. Carefully read the account in Luke 23. Luke 23: 32 There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. 33 And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the...

    Seeing into the Spirit realm.

    On Sunday in Sunday School before church started, I heard that some (three people) could see a glow around the pastor as he was preaching. I asked God to give me that ability, and sure enough after the announcements and into his preaching, I saw it and it continued until he was done preaching...

    1 John 3:9 - Is it cannot "practice" sin, or cannot "commit" sin?

    What is the difference in understanding and truth between us not practicing sin, or not committing sin? Note the context of this chapter and what type of sin John is talking about 1 John 3:4 sins of lawlessness. What does changing the word to practice allow us to do. Of course, cannot commit sin...

    1 John 1:9

    According to this verse, how much desire to sin do we have after we have confessed our sin? If we have been freed from sin and cleansed of ALL unrighteousness, are we still a liar if we agree? 1 John 1:8 Is 1 John 1:9 the same doctrine as Acts 2:38. 1 John 1:9 says to confess. Acts 2:38 says...

    Exegesis or Eisegesis

    What is the difference of exegesis and eisegesis? Exegesis is legitimate interpretation which "reads out of' the text what the original author or authors meant to convey. Eisegesis, on the other hand, reads into the text what the interpreter wishes to find or thinks he finds there. It...

    Is FAITH ALONE Enough?

    One problem in many theologies is believing faith alone is enough for GOD. Peter criticized them for not growing further in the knowledge of Jesus and Christian living. Read 2 Peter 1:5-11. How many people have heard a sermon on this passage. It should be brought from the platform every week...

    "God told me..."

    I have an old friend that thought everything she thought was the voice of God, therefore, absolute truth. She would always say, "God told me..." Anyone relate? I can. I remember that era when everyone was saying that. Of her, I was skeptical. So I can understand the skepticism that people have...

    The Wrath of God

    I just finished watching a foreign film on Netflix (dubbed) called The Wrath of God. I have goosebumps. It was the most influential movie I've seen in a long time. And I related to the madness so much. You must watch it in one sitting. Powerful. We must really guard our minds, and reading into...

    Saying you are without sin verses in 1 John

    Many misinterpret the first chapter of 1 John completely, so here is a way to understand John more clearly, to undo this very common mistake. Read chapter two first, and notice the difference between talking the talk (SAY), and walking the walk. Open your minds. 1 John 2: 3 Now by this we know...

    Shocker!!! Woman arrested for self-induced abortion

    With the east coast of America wanting to legalize the killing of a baby up to 28 days (probably for sacrifice by hard-core Satanists), Texas actually arrested a woman for self-induced abortion. Just when I was about to give up on America having any morals left, Texas stands strong! News...

    Do you believe in ghosts?

    Matthew 14:26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. Did the Jews believe in ghosts? Do you? Just curious.

    To Spirit-filled Christians who DID NOT get the jab

    I'm curious if you also heard God say "NO!" when thinking about getting vaccinated against COVID-19. I know others besides myself who did hear God say no, and they were all Spirit-filled and that is why they didn't get vaccinated. I'm curious how many others heard God's voice and followed it...

    The Truth about the Kenosis of Jesus

    The kenosis, or "emptying," of Christ does NOT MEAN that He divested Himself of His diety, but that He withheld His preincarnate GLORY and voluntarily restricted His use of certain attributes (e.g., omnipresence and omniscience - present everywhere, and all knowing.) Philippians 2:7 but emptied...
