    Submitting : To God's Righteousness #2

    Reader, You've probably read this verse.... Rom 10:13......> "For Whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved". So, before we pursue this teaching by Paul, notice that this verse by Paul eliminates a core false teaching of Calvinism, which teaches that God only chooses the...

    Brother's house sold (thankyou); the Devil keeps attacking my salvation (because at one point I backslid)

    Hi there, So just to get it out of the way: my brother is trying to sell a house of his (its really time critical, because it is costing money), I don't know that you can force someone to buy it, but maybe pray that someone will want to commit and that will help. The other thing is: the Devil...

    Joseph Prince "The Law says 'do not steal', Grace says 'find opportunities to give'" - what a sermon

    Hi there! So I was blown away by this message from Joseph Prince (exact sermon unknown, but I can find it if you want it); with one statement, he made it crystal clear what it is that is meant by "the Law and Grace". I was really impacted and had to tell you! The comparison is so simple, but so...

    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...

    Submission : To Righteousness

    Reader. Are you a Christian? If so, then you have submitted to God's Righteousness as your FAITH. If you have done this, then you have put on the Helmet of Salvation, and if you haven't then you are stuck in reverse, both Theologically, and as a Disciple. Now, Is it possible to be saved and at...

    I’m not Jesus, Nor a Saint. (Merry Chrysler)

    Hello my name is Matthew, this is an odd video but I did it on a whim. It explains my thoughts on Jesus, and some things concerning what God has done with the world. Please feel free to leave any comment or questions if you so desire. Thank you for viewing.

    "When you make His soul an offering for sin [...] He shall see His seed" (Isaiah 53:10) - a promise for the believer and backslider alike

    Hi there, So there is a constant repentance in Heaven, over the need to praise God more - of accepting that we have not praised Him enough. The problem on Earth is, we get discouraged easily and start to dismiss our faith lightly (I know I have). This should not be the case. The power of God...

    Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God" ("the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"), the Holy Spirit will teach the "dread of God" (been absent long?)

    Hi there, So this thought is just going around and around in my head: the Holy Spirit will teach a greater degree than Jesus. Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God": repentance, righteous judgment, atonement - we were expected to understand that our fear of God should in fact be a...

    Constantly afraid there will be a big "die-off", when God calls many home (Lord help?)

    Hi there, So I have been wondering for some time what happens in the lead up to the tribulation and one thing I cannot account for is the notion of the Rapture - which I think may mean that a lot of people on Earth (of all faiths, meaning everyone) will "be called home" (die). It's something I...

    The brain is much more willing to obey you, if you limit micro-aggression (lessons from meditation?)

    Hi there, So I guess I am just putting this out there, because I have spent a lot of time meditating but never really had control of my brain. The point is simple: the brain is more willing to obey under certain conditions, than others. The condition the brain specifically responds to, is that...

    [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...

    Paid : In Blood.

    Reader, Lets look at how you were redeemed if you are truly born again. Now , if you are just water baptized and religious, then this short teaching is what you NEED....because you dont have God's redemption yet. 1 Tim 2:6 If you read it, you'll find that Jesus is God's = Ransom that has...

    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...

    Thinking you see the Cross, at the moment you see Christ (and not before), actually slows you down: but the Holy Spirit said to me "don't worry"

    Hi there! So I had the first real connection with the Holy Spirit, right now and I thought "I better share this, or I will miss what's next"! Anyway, what I was thinking was "I'm always thinking of the Cross, with Christ on it" - like that is the default way the image works in my mind. The...

    I am really struggling, with flesh that is puffed up - I don't know how to respond to the law of sin

    Hi there, I know I need the Holy Spirit. Let me make that clear. What I am writing about, is that I think allowing the Holy Spirit to work, takes more than a mental acknowledgement that there is sin, righteousness and judgment. The flesh is what concerns me now. Jesus said the times He was in...

    Once you have Grace (from God), the work is easier

    Hi there! So this is just an observation about Grace, basically. The observation is this: "once you have the Grace, the work is easier". Jesus said "My yoke is easy". He did not say "once you believe, the work will be harder"! Jesus does not force us to work, but if you have been forgiven (the...

    The time of Jacob's trouble, is definitely a Garden of Gethsemane moment - society is starting to lose touch (with the reality of the Cross) (hurt?)

    Hi there, So this is to sort of focus our prayers. We are entering the time of Jacob's trouble, when Heaven is shut and there is sin on Earth. Christ faced the struggle of this time too (already), when He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane. If Christ had been able to be crucified in the...

    The truth is where the spirit and the soul meet (truth?)

    Hi there, So Jesus famously called Himself "the way, the truth and the life" and also said "and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" (gospels, from memory). What I wanted to share, is a truth that exists between these two things. This is a truth about the truth! What is...

    The way out (of trial), continues to be through scripture! (overjoyed?)

    Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with poisonous thoughts. When I was in my teens, I got caught up with Satanic music and I said something I shouldn't have, in a state of unconsciousness (while listening to that music). It woke me up (that I said this thing), and it plagued me ever...

    So frustrated at sin right now - stop sinning the old sin, sin the new sin?

    Hi there, So I am really frustrated and I think its to do with sin. I get that the Holy Spirit gives us a desire to be godly and its wise to wait for the opportunity to be godly, as the opportunity arises. I get that being ready for this, means repenting of whatever comes to mind (as the spirit...
