    Justified unto : Righteousness = Empowered unto Holiness

    Reader, If im talking to you, then you are concerned that your salvation could be lost, and you have found that your Chritianity is mostly a "that which i want to do, i dont do, and that which i hate, i do......and there is nothing i can do about it, as i try so hard to be good, but the more i...

    The Real : ISSUE

    Reader lets look at an issue that we all face or faced..... We were all sinners........lost, and Hell bound. Why? Becasue there is nothing a sinner can do, of themselves, to have their sins forgiven. And if your sins are not forgiven before you die, then you "shall die in them" Jesus...

    The Devil is cast out, he can no longer lure the faith with promises of grandeur - pray that we pursue him out of the nations: in Jesus' Name Amen!

    Hi there, So for a few decades now, the Devil has been stressing me out that my faith is not good enough - but I am finally emerging from the Hell he put me in! We do not need great faith, if we have consistently ready faith. The Devil will always say his faith is "greater", but if we are...

    Be wise to get help; and be humble enough not to try to change everything, right from the start (meek and lowly?)

    Hi there, Just a word of encouragement, as believers, we do not need to change everything at once. We need to be wise, yes, and get help with that wisdom, but radically changing into who God wanted us to be, ignores the fact that we must first be scourged (Hebrews). Jesus said "have child-like...

    How To : Deny Yourself

    Reader, To deny yourself, in contemporary lingo, simply means to serve a cause greater than your own self-interest. This means you REALIZE that this is available as a lifestyle choice. So, in the case of "denying yourself"..as the NT explains it......it means that you should put God first in...

    Do we want 'a few good products, and the rest junk' or do we want 'quality products, that serve the Lord century after century' ? (pray?)

    Hi there, So I work as a cleaner at the moment, and I have been really grieving over how much we - as a society - throw away. Junk is always there, it seems. But TV shows like American Pickers reveal that in the past, things were built to last! I don't want to be unfaithful in what is another...

    You are cold, but your bread is frozen; you are hot, but there is no way to share melted ice-cream (idle thought?)

    Hi there! So you will be familiar with the verse in Revelation about being hot or cold? The point is that we are supposed to do something about our faith, to distinguish it from the so-called 'faith' that is in the world. In the world, people are happy to be lukewarm - Jesus calls us to...

    Does "diabetes" grow from an unclean spirit? Sometimes just trying to resist the temptation to eat the wrong thing, is not enough!

    Hi there! So my Dad got diabetes and it has always sort of bothered me, that I have started out life with the same sweet-tooth and eating habits as him. For a long time, I didn't know what to do about it and then I started to realise it was a spiritual battle. I took steps to make resisting...

    A Real : Walk of Faith.

    Reader, Real faith.... is getting to the place in your faith where you realize that... 1.) "if God accepted me and saved me forever = Through the Cross of Christ, while i was yet a sinner, and that was before i tried to be good and do right, then ................" Or this one... 2.) "When...

    Not Under the Law : #3

    Reader, Romans 4:8 and 2 Corin 5:19. Both of these verses found in Paul's Epistles teach that God does not charge sin against a born again Believer, ever again. And why not? 2 reasons.... First)....God has already charged all of a born again believers sin against Jesus on The Cross who has...

    Understanding : Hebrews 12:6

    Hebrews 12:6 deals with God's "Chastening". So.....The first thing to know about our born again Relationship to God, is that God never charges sin to you ever again if you are born again. Why not? Because of 2 reasons.. 1st.... The born again...are = "not under the law, but under...

    Timing is very important to the Lord - you do not need to know everything about life, all at once (patient?)

    Hi there! So, a very difficult lesson for me to learn, was that "timing" is very important to the Lord. I think sometimes people assume the earlier they learn about themselves, the more power they will have - but this isn't true. There are some things you can't learn, until you have been in a...

    I know someone, who predicts these boards will get hectic, by about the beginning of half-way through this century

    Hi there, So this prediction is interesting, because it does not specify what the activity will be, just that there will be a lot of it. I think the idea is that even if there is no tribulation, at this time, the internet having been commonplace for half a century will drive the curiosity of...

    You can't feel rejected, and immediately have joy that you might die that way - or "why you need to be sensitive to brother's and sister's feelings"

    Hi there, So I will just be blunt, I know someone who had a great idea and tried to share it with other believers, and the other believers didn't understand. Maybe the idea wasn't that great? Or maybe the Devil deceived the other believers? In any case, what this believer felt was rejection...

    What is the "Eye of the Needle"?

    The discipline of "philology" is applied by historians when attempting to understand the true intentions behind words spoken in a particular historical time-frame and context, rather than wrongly assuming that word definitions found in a modern dictionary necessarily apply. For example, "deism"...

    Being Born again = Eternal Security

    Reader, 1.) Paul teaches Eternal Security as being "Born again". 2.) So, if you are not, then you are not "sealed" because you are not Saved. 3.) The "sealing" happens when God puts the Believer "in Christ". = Born....again.......= spiritual birth. 4.) This means that God's Holy Spirit...

    Is "Epistle" a Correct Translation?

    Means both "letter" and "formal letter" in Koine Greek. While today one can look up the word "epistle" in a modern dictionary and find that it refers to a formal letter of special importance, in the First Century world of Paul and other authors of the New Testament, the Greek "epistole"...
