How Can They Ever Obey God?

Image
AsI come closer to the day they we will adopt a child, God has given me more andmore revelation of his intent. Just the other day the spirt of God spoke to meand said. "If your children can not obey you howwill they ever obey God?" Iwondered was God giving me a word for someone else? or for myself. I thoughtI no longer have any children what can this mean. and then I realized that Iwould soon have little feet running through my home, and God has not given forme to be a foolsih steward of His children. So even before they came he wasinstructiing me on how to raise them. ButI fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, soyour minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:3 But by the subtilties of this world we have lost God requirementfor raising our children. The world teaches that we should let tem be their ownpersons, that we should let them make decision on issues that we find much tooimportant for c...

Unwilling Living Sacrifice

Image
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service . Romans 12:1 In just about every Pentecostal or Charismatic church I’ve ever been to, there is an evil  Monster of Praise    that alienates the church members even before the pastor of the church ever brings in the word. While in the mist of Praise and worship he snatches the praise of those that need it and perverts his own praise in the wrath of his holy indignation. Like a praise police he thinks he is tasked with the godly responsibility of determining the fervency of the churches praise. Sometimes the  Monster of Praise    is seen as a member of the Praise and Worship Group or as a leader within your local congregation, someone of authority. But when that person becomes so moved by the worship or praise and presence of Holy Spirit, then looks around the church and sees som...

The Harvest is Plenteous

Image
Matthew 9:37 “ … The   harvest   truly   is   plenteous , but the labourers are few ”   While megachurches are putting the sword to the battle in Asia and in Africa, and the Middle East; passionately taking new ground for the kingdom, our generals (heads of these reformations) have failed to guard our flank. Overtly, the three-headed monster is attacking us in our own homeland eating at the fiber of our faith, gnawing at the entrails of our morality, and imposing their thoughts and doctrine on our children because we have failed to equip them to the faith. They are the ones, knocking on doors, handing out literature, and talking to our children about their faith. Creating new converts for their beliefs at the root level where we have all but completely failed. This three-headed monster understands very well that the future of our faith is dependent on the hope of our youth.  So while we sit high and mighty in foreign lands the monster sneaks into t...

Is Hell Real?

Image
There are many in today’s society that deny the idea that hell is real, they maintain that it is just a figurative expression used to imply and idea not a real place.   The ideal of hell being an eternal and conscious punishment is just not fathomable,the idea of hell being eternal and not temporal is not considered. However the bible clearly teaches that hell is a real place in which the wicked and unbelieving are sent after death.   The bible teaches that; Hell is an eternal fire ( Mat 25:14, Mat3:12 , ) Hell is a place of shame and everlasting contempt for the wicked ( Dan 12:2, Rev 14:10-11,   Rev 20:10 )   That once in hell you can never leave. ( Luke16:25-26 ) There a consciousness of the pain and suffering endured in hell ( Num 16:30, Mat 8:12, Rev 21:8 ) Something to consider is that Jesus spoke more of hell than he did heaven! If hell was just an idea why would he spend so much time warning us of it? If there was no consciousness of the pain and...

Who / What Can Seperate Us From the Love of Jesus?

Image
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?   As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.   Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,   Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ( Romans 8:35-39 ) Today marks the 10 th anniversary of the Attacks on America September 11, 2001. Anyone that is old enough to remember the event can in an instance tell you exactly where they were, and what they was doing that morning when the Twin Towers fell. I can remember watching the first tower fall in the lobby of the office building. In complete disbelief, I ...

Answer Not a Fool (without the Sword of God)

Image
1 Peter 3:15   “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”   Ready Always to Give an Answer What do we do when we know that only reason that this person is asking a question about God is to later use it to attack Christ and attempt to make our faith appear void and of no value? Answer 1 Peter 3:15 What should we do when they say something like “You can’t use the bible to explain (a biblical principle)” or Ask “Can you answer this question without using the bible?” Don’t be fooled the natural man does not desire God. And neither does he desire for you to have God, so he seeks fool you into taking of the Lord Jesus Christ     when answering his questions. Answer DO NOT EVER DO THIS . Never try to answer the enemy [i] concerning any issue of God or morality, or justice or anything that is even vaguely related to God wit...

Does God Really Send Us to Hell?

Image
One of the most difficult questions asked of a Christian is "A loving God would not send billions of people to hell?"  This very logic  has been the defense, or stumbling block for many athesist not believing in God. At First the question makes perfect sense; A loving God would not want to harm his children and sending people to hell is harmful! Right? However, at the root of this logic is is the incorrect worldview of Godly love. Godly love is not permissive whereby we can do whatever we like and never have to address the reporcussions of our actions. God has put law and rule in place so that he may guide us into the fullness of life. In a society where the individual have no laws or authority to uphold those law there is anarchcy. Rich Deem show the simplisity of thei concept in a family enviornment , on his  Evidenc for God   website he writes; This  permissive kind of "love"  isn't love at all. Any ...
