    THE : Divine Artist

    - There are hobbies that are related to collecting. And there are hobbies that are related to creating. Both can be an obsession, and everyone has an obsession, or a few. What i can tell you, is that the "creative instinct" is innate in us all, as it came from the Original Artist of All...

    How to deny the Cross

    - I was just reading where a member recently posted that "theology is the devil's handbook", and it inspired me to talk about that a bit. I'll keep it short. A Cross denier is someone who does not believe that the finished work of Jesus on the Cross, keeps you saved. They will deny that...

    Christ..........or self. ?

    - Lets find out if you are trusting in Christ or trusting in self, falsely believing you are trusting in Christ. Listen... God said...... If you take Jesus, I'll take you. That's the Gospel. Now....The technical part, the theology of it all, can sometimes get in the way of the simple truth...

    - There is a general misconception many Believers have about Faith, as THE savior. \ Which of course is not the case.

    - "Grace".. This is a word that is used a lot regarding Christians. Yet, more often then not, its not where they exist spiritually or mentally, or by faith. Grace, is something that only God gives. Its supernatural. Its literally the Love of God as expressed as mercy, redemption, peace, and...

    2nd Timothy 3:5

    - Lets look at 2 Timothy 3:5 "having a form of godliness" So. what is this? What is this AS compared to being saved - born again? Its very simple.... A "form of godliness" is religion. = All Religion and all self righteousness. All Religion and self rightousness is a "form" of Godliness...

    How God did it.

    The entire bible...both Old and New Testament, is "how God is doing something, being revealed over time". And what is He revealing? He's revealing "I am Holy, you are not, and here is why.....and here is how I SOLVED IT". The entire central principal core of the Bible...
