Psalm 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. More times then not men and women who truly love God seek Holiness by their own hands. They say to themselves “Because I love God I must stop (whatever sin they have) and give my life totally to God.” And this is a very honorable desire to give your life for God totally. The problem arise in the misconception that we can consecrate ourselves to God.  in our own strength. Anyone that has tried to rightly and failed know the frustration of self consecration. One step of self-consecration is called introspective. With introspective we survey all the events of our day keeping what we think is of God and letting go of the things which are not, vowing to repent from the sins of that day. The problem with this method is that we leave the knowledge of good and bad to be discerned by our own heart and mind. But P salm 19:12 asks “ Who can discern his errors ” not one of us, because eve...

By Soli Deo Gloria I've never been a person to ask anyone to pray for me, I've always felt if a Christian's faith is truly rooted deep into the soil of scripture, prayer, meditation and fasting that when the burning sun of life's trials and tribulation come up against the believer he will not be moved. In the last four years I can say without doubt that I have not had 2 days whereby life's situation and circumstances has weighed me down so much that I had to ask someone to pray for me. I can say this because my faith is firmly rooted and my knowledge and understanding of God's Grace and Mercy toward me is able to sustain me. Now this does not mean I don't want others to pray for me, it means I am confident that my prayers are sufficient to move God for my deliverance.  With all this said you can imagine how surprised I was to have my pastor pray for me last Sunday, not that he does pray for others, its that when he asks " Does anyone ...

Worshipping in Truth (Part 3 of 3)   I'm Sorry as I began to write the second part of the two part series on worhippping, I realized that I had not covered the most important part. What is worship and how do we do it? Today we will cover worshipping in Truth which is actually part 3 of the series even though I wrote it first. please bear with me. Part 2 ( Worshipping in Spirit) and Part 1 How should we Worship are coming soon. I have had a lot of difficulty comprehending what it meant to worship in Spirit and Truth. Whenever I asked someone they either had no real idea or they gave me rehearsed scriptural propaganda, having no clue themselves. This is especially problematic when you consider I go to a Church called “Spirit and Truth” As you may have guessed I had a passion to know what it mean to worship in spirit and truth. What I’m writing right now is God revelation to me concerning worshipping in Truth I think before I go any further it’s important to understand ...

What leaders should do to avoid hurting church memebers James 3:13-17 (Amplified Bible) Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal) , even devilish (demoniacal) . For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition) , there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled) ; then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle) . [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wh...

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes . Psalms 50:21 (KJV) Maybe because I am a Christian, that I get upset when people speak offensively about Christ my 2 Peter 2:7 ). So what do we do, take them to HR? Maybe, But when we do we risk being labeled Bible-Thump-er, or Jesus freak, or just a plane old trouble maker. Some of you may argue that God did not want you there anyway; my argument is maybe God did want you there to make a change, but because of your willingness to conform to the ways of the world, you have become of no value to God at all. (Selah) Savior It is these very same people that feel you are invading their space when you tell them about Christ. It is these very same people that have no problem with bragging about their perverted sexual preference, they find it t totally acceptable to boast about how many women they have ...
