    When we add our faith, to the Lord's faith, we don't just get the same faith, we get so *much* more!

    Hi there! I like to think of Paul's faith in the Letters to the Churches, as reflective of the growing faith the Churches have in the Lord. It is not that we come to faith and hold fast to the Lord, and that is all; rather, we come to faith and a bond is formed between His faith and ours. This...

    Grief comes more easily to the simple of heart; those that trust the Spirit have their share of strife (selah)

    Hi there, So I wanted to focus on something that I didn't actually think I would encounter as a believer. For a long time, I thought the problem with my faith, must be that I backslid; which constantly seemed to drag me back into doubt. Then I realised I was trying to "do faith" on my own, too...

    "Go big or go home"? The Holy Spirit says no! Go great for God, then share it with the faith! (ready?)

    Hi there! So there is a great opportunity as we head in to the end, for people to do great works for God (Daniel, from memory). What helps this idea, as the Bible says "say Lord willing, we will do this or that" (James? Letters, from memory), is what you will do with the success you get. I...

    God wants the innocent and the mature together - you can like being innocent, but at some point you have to want to be mature

    Hi there, Just another morsel of food for the newbies to focus on: its ok to like being innocent, but at some point, you have to want to be mature (selah) Paul in the letters talks about people being unable to eat solid food, because they are still babes in faith (Hebrew 5:13) Paul does not...

    Dream About A Dreamer. 1

    Dream About The Dreamer In this dream, I was observing another man's dream. His dream had a narrator. The dream was about his online presence. He had created a ministry online years ago and had many followers. Then suddenly he got a message from a woman who said she had been following him for...

    [can't discuss in non-Christian forum] If someone goes from being atheist to being agnostic, is that progress? (remember?)

    Hi there, So I can't discuss this in the non-Christian forum, because I am Christian - but I am really curious? If you were dead in your sins and denied there was a 'god', but the Holy Spirit started to work with you, and you started to think "it would be better if I didn't make up my mind or...

    The problem with urging people to apply themselves (in works), is that you need to go back further in the past to justify them (rushed?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple three-fold problem here and its starts with being dissatisfied with your own level of work, but it moves on to being dissatisfied with the works of others. This is no good. The point is that works with God are enjoyable and if you are not enjoying your work, the...

    Jesus as the Fulfillment of Israel: A Scriptural Reflection

    Jesus as the Fulfillment of Israel: A Scriptural Reflection Jesus Christ embodies the true and faithful Israel—not merely as an individual, but as the fulfillment of what Israel was always meant to be. Where Jacob, later named Israel, faltered, Christ prevailed. He did not simply replace...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    Hi there, So I guess I am nothing, if not honest to a fault: I really and truly thought I could 'rush' the Rapture! It was just a matter of working out what the fool would believe, how he would see killing the faithful as a favor to God and imagining that the Devil would justify him. But God...

    People who go to Hell, sing praises to God as they go (able to sing?)

    Hi there, So something that opened my mind up, to God's sense of justice, is that there is a reason that God lets people go to Hell - they don't get there with nothing to praise God for. It's not a very complicated event, actually, people go to Hell because they lack faith. But lacking faith...

    A CALL TO REFLECTION: DO NOT IGNORE GOD’S WORD

    A CALL TO REFLECTION: DO NOT IGNORE GOD’S WORD "See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;" Deuteronomy 30:15 (KJV) Beloved, the Word of God is not a casual suggestion, it is life and death. Every page carries the eternal heartbeat of the Almighty. To reject His...

    Salvation : Foundation

    Reader, 1.) When Paul says......How can we who are dead to sin, live any longer in it.......He is explaining that the old man of sin is dead. So, to live there, free from sin consciousness, is to have "worked our your salvation". And how to do this.... is against our nature, against our flesh...

    The Way to Salvation

    The Way to Salvation Salvation is not a single moment of belief but a journey that begins with God's call and continues with faith, obedience, and endurance until the end. Jesus and His disciples taught that true followers of God would remain faithful throughout their lives. This journey unfolds...

    Dealing with : The Body of Sin

    Reader, 1.) Paul teaches doctrine ...= regarding the : "body of sin". So what is that? That is your """old man of sin::".....its your : "flesh". Its your "unholy sensual and carnal desires". Paul teaches that this "body of Sin" is destroyed if you are born again...., = which ""frees you...

    I feel a little uncertain, calling myself a 'newbie' - but I need help (and once upon a time, I *was* a newbie!)

    Hi there, So there is this dilemma I am in, about my relationship to God. I know relationship is important, but if its important, then how you define it is important too, right? So I have this understanding, in my head, that I have my side to the relationship I have with God, and God has His...

    I stopped striving with people in the world, now I am spiritually starving (to get what God wants for me - prayer?)

    Hi there, So for a long time I have been striving with the people of the world, wanting favour, wanting fame. Ostensibly, I wanted the attention for the truth, but that was really a cover for my own ego. Realistically I was going to grab all the attention, whatever the truth was. I don't think...

    SALVATION : > Only Lasts for as long as God lives.

    No Law = No Transgression

    Reader, You can't stop being born again, as this is an eternal spiritual birth, that is God caused and God maintained. So... One of the first things a real student of the word comes to understand is....(regarding the New Covenant)... 1.) = "where there is no LAW, there is no Transgression"...

    I asked Jesus to critique my faith - He said "you take too long to rebuke the Devil" (no kidding!)

    Hi there, So those of you who are mature will love this. It's about a relationship with Jesus, that you can actually test. Getting feedback on faith (anything really) is really important to getting it right; so knowing that you can trust Jesus for feedback should really help you. What I did...
