Today Is The Day For Change

The change didn’t stop. As everyone received this new fire for Jesus, they began reaching out to people they haven’t spoke to in a long time. Some even reached out to people they didn’t know. Lives were being touched in the process. I don’t think my son knew that his decision that day to let Jesus become his Lord and Savior would make that big of impact on the people around him. I didn’t know either.

THE SINNER SAVED BY GRACE

The plan of salvation began way back… in heaven. Man was made in the image of GOD. His corruption would mean a corrupted image; a corrupted image would mean a corrupted object_ a corrupted GOD! But GOD is not at all corrupted; HE is without sin, in HIM there is no darkness at all. There had to be image swapping; there had to be a substitute_ there had to be a perfectionist! There had to be the incorruptible that corruption may be overcome. And that was the incorruptible seed: JESUS CHRIST.

Two Gates-Two Paths

Many look at life and exclaim “Life is Good!” as if their existence is simply about having a good time. They go on living each day without any concern for their eternal destination as they engage themselves in the world’s current affairs. Throwing themselves into the pleasures of the world has become their reason for living. Their only gratification comes from their weekend leisure. Conviction is thrown by the wayside and they lash out at anyone who disapproves of their immoral choices.

Should Christians honor the Sabbath Day?

There are some Christians who believe that the Sabbath Day was replaced by the First Day of the week in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ [Yeshua Mashiyach] from the grave, but is this the case? This day, Sunday, in honor of the Sun god ["Sol"] is the one in which we worship the LORD and Creator who warned the Israelites about idolatry, honoring other gods and them worshipping other gods before or alongside Him.

How to Gain Victory Over the Flesh

The Bible says that they that are in the flesh cannot please God. It also says that there is none that doeth good and sinneth not. First, what is meant by the word “flesh”? Often we use the word to mean our body. We need to understand that we are a threefold being. We are a fleshly body; we have a mind, which is our will, emotions, and intellect; and we are a spirit.

I know what FLUFF is…and I Know What Fluff Isn’t!

I grew up very typical, in a typical town, typical church, no need to get into what religion, that is not the important thing here. I know there are a gazillion girls out there just like me, brought up like me, who may have been happy to let the family bible collect dust. This didn’t make me a bad person. I suspect many with a similar upbringing are good people, well meaning, thoughtful most of the time, sort of living in the moment, happy to float through life. But, I never considered that God might have more and want more for me than just floating.

Water for the parched and weary land

By Kathleen D. Angell
I was in a circumstance today that I realized how much the Body of Christ can be thirsty for Love.
I’m often not attentive to others needs. Maybe it is a child’s or a teens needs, or just someone there in my day, that they just needed to know a touch of Jesus’ [...]

Homily, Let us Speak of Holiness this morning: Bernard of Clairvaux

A Cistercian Monk, Bernard, is considered in this manner by our readings today, reflecting the three-fold manner of his character and relationship with God and man. He died at Clairvaux, 21 August, 1153:

Bernard is wise, with the wisdom of God.

Bernard is Holy, with a Holiness of God.

Bernard is friend of God, as the New Testament tells us of friendship with God.

This is the way to abide in God.

Joy

Love and Joy and Jesus life are those Waters in the Well that never go dry. You don’t have to keep them, you can give them away. And the more we give, the more we get in return to give away again.

The Value of Studying Bible Prophecy

Amazingly, throughout that year, several gullible Christians depleted thousands of their hard earned cash on these survival kits that they would never need. Sadly, these preachers are not in prison for racketeering, rather they persist in preaching on the same stations toward the same naive audiences.

Five Fold Ministry and Isaiah 28:23-29

God loves diversity. Every seed and plant is different, just as people are different. Every single seed, plant, vegetable, fruit, tree, vine, and person has a unique quality. I truly believe that is why there are so many differences in preaching and teaching techniques. What reaches one heart and mind may not penetrate another. It doesn’t necessarily make one right and one wrong, just different. Now when it comes to preaching or teaching God’s Word, it must align with the Bible or it is false doctrine. False doctrine, deceit, lies, and manipulation is absolutely intolerable and abominable.
