    What are 3 lines you cross only once and never come back?

    Three Lines in Scripture You Cross Only Once – And Never Come Back Picture this. God draws a person toward Christ again and again. The Holy Spirit convicts. The Word cuts to the heart. Then one day the call stops. The Bible shows us three clear deadlines that seal a person's eternity, and...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Hi there, So I took a very little interpretation of Revelation 13:12 and I came to the conclusion, that since I am on Earth and at war with the sin in my members (as Paul says in the letters), I am at the very least going to be tempted to worship the beast. Now, I thought about it and thought...

    If you had faith but backslid, one of the Devil's darts have got through and you are doing nothing about it? (hurt?)

    Hi there, So this is what I would call a clinical diagnosis of backsliding: you had faith, but then a dart of the enemy got through your armor and now you are doing nothing about it. Does that sound about right? The point is that the faith, is simple; it is not the Spirit that separates us...

    The Frightening Reality About Sin and Repentance

    There's a frightening reality in the Christian life these days that few dare to admit nor discuss. So many cry over their sins, feel deeply moved in a religious services, walk to the front while moved by an emotional song; they even soak their rarely opened Bibles with tears and still never...

    If the Devil knows you will speak up, about sin that he takes for granted: he will avoid you (need space?)

    Hi there, So I struggled with sin, for a long time, when it came to desire and it seemed like the Devil always knew how to break down my defences, again and again. Then I started to say "ok, I'm tempted, but even though I am tempted I am going to call the sin out". The Bible says "if we confess...

    The Road God Chose Was Not Paved

    Matthew 2:13-3:6 The road Matthew lays out from Egypt to the Jordan is not a polished church hallway. It is a dusty trail with danger on one end and repentance on the other. When God warns Joseph to take the child and flee, Joseph does not call a meeting or ask for a second opinion. He gets up...

    "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...

    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...

    CHANGING

    When I came to know the Lord change was easy. How could I not? But coming to know God and salvation, is not what this thread is about. Briefly for introduction: I did not know there was a God, but felt the weight of the world--as we all do in our own way. For me, it was as if I was set up, I...

    Survey - Is Repentance important to salvation?

    Repentance: The Forgotten Command That Determines Eternity The missing word in today’s Gospel is repentance. When was the last time you heard someone preach repentance? If you had to guess, it’s been a long time for most of us. But flip open the Bible and you’ll find the word on every page...

    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...

    The Dangerous Lie That You Don’t Need to Repent

    There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, Jesus said: “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell...

    I'm sorry I hated you (Church), the cares of this life choked me (forgiving?)

    Hi there, So I will keep it brief, so as not to weary you: my family went through a very trying time, all sorts of things, financially also and I began to rebel against the faith. I didn't know how to keep myself clean and fed my soul with anti-Christian music. It reached the point where I...

    The Devil causes us (the brethren) to fight! Can we catch him, in the act? (powerfully?)

    Hi there, So this is not about casting the Devil out of our fellow brothers. This is about just acknowledging that we are tempted, to vilify and provoke and distrust our brothers. It hurts us, our conscience, but we still do it - and its time we called the Devil out on it! I say with boldness...

    Jesus came to call sinners to repentance

    The religious people of Jesus' day complained that He ate with sinners. What was Jesus' purpose for doing this? Jesus did it to call them to repentance. He likened sinners to people who are sick and in need of a physician. Sin is a disease and a curse that only Jesus can take away. Once taken...

    The World will discover, that the mark was already taken - Jesus revealed the mark on the cross, but did not boast (reminisce with me)

    Hello there! So, there is a simple fact, at the heart of the tribulation: the mark the anti-Christ tries to take, is the mark that was already crucified, by the Lord Jesus. The anti-Christ is the man of sin, but the mark of sin, was already taken by the Lord. This causes the anti-Christ to...

    In Heaven we can't tell what our sin was, even if we wanted to (and that's the way we liked it)

    Hi there! So there are plenty of people in this world, who have sinned to the point, that they would rather be in Heaven, but they don't know why - that's what preachers with a word of knowledge from the Lord are for! They (these people) honestly would die for someone to make clear what the sin...

    You regret that you sinned, now get angry; you identify that learning from your sin was bad teaching, now get bitter (selah)

    Hi there, So something that has helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ, has been identifying where I need to do an about face. An about face is where you acknowledge that you have been heading in the wrong direction (down the wide road to destruction), and you hold still and turn around...

    Re: overcoming the carnal world

    Hi there, So I have come to the point, where I have control of my desire, again. I had a relationship with someone in the world, and was lured to disregard my crown (which the Lord gave me). The person I was with, wanted to make it (the crown) something I did not respect. But I learned through...
