Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.   For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. ( Jude 1:3-4) Not twenty years after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, while there were still people alive that had seen Him and spoken with Him, some had even eaten with Him, false teachers were already forming within the local bodies denying the resurrection and the deity of Jesus Christ. Just as the Apostle Peter had to deal with false teachers in his second epistle ( 2Peter 2:1-3 ), Jude who identifies himself as the brother of James was   inspired to write to a church in an unknown location not concerning salvation...

And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, “He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise” (Luke 3:11)   (Luke 3:10-11) Prayers in Pursuit of God One of the most difficult things for men to comprehend is that we have no real knowledge of good and bad.

It may be hard to grasp that a person can do what is perfectly right and still not be right by our Heavenly Father. If it were possible for a man to never break the law, it would be just as possible for that man to be perfectly obedient and not know the Father in his good works. Consider this story; a teenage boy sees an old l...

Offenses Will Come Matthews 18:6-7(KJV) But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.   Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! So that we have a better understanding of the what is being said to us let read Matthews 18-6-7  This often heard verse is almost never identified in scripture because of it often mis-uses. miscues, and possibly controlling spirit of those that hide behind it. My personal Commentary ( FireSpeaks ) A mature Christian should never do those thing which would lead a new convert to sin or incorrectly perceive God. This is about how to rightly disciple the new Christian. Jesus Christ wants us to not just tell people about Christ but disciple them to maturity in their faith, not say those things which can cause a...
