I lie, steal, hate, envy & lust. I broke God's law & deserve hell. Lord Jesus died for my sins, was buried, & rose again the third day. I repent & trust in Him.
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ & Him crucified. - I Corinthians 2:2 The focal point is Christ & His gospel. Everything else points to or flows from Christ & His gospel. Christ died for our sins, He was buried, & He rose again the 3rd day.
If we speak the truth without love, then we're just a clanging cymbal. It doesn't glorify Christ. It doesn't edify the church. It isn't a good witness to lost sinners. There is no reward from God. It's a waste of everyone's time. Does our speaking express the fruit of the…
God's commandments and instructions to believers. Do we believe Him and obey Him? Romans 6:12-14 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present…
God instructs us in the Scriptures to assemble together to stir up love and good works. And throughout the NT, we see how that was done. It wasn't a weekly meeting, week in and week out, where we sit and listen to one man dominate all the speaking and give a monologue. The…
There is division that is pleasing to God and there is division that is sinful and according to men's traditions, human wisdom, and pride. Dividing the church (schisms and factions) according to men's traditions is sinful. This works against the unity of the Spirit, the faith…
In the Scriptures, our Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles did not write, nor speak about anything called a "local church." Be careful, since men's traditions are also snuck in under this banner of "local church." Renew our minds further.
God created us to love Him and our neighbors. Between people, it is good for us to love one another and to be loved. In the body of Christ, we ought to love one another. There are some in the body of Christ who are neglected and not loved. We need to be considerate and love…
If we stopped being anxious and worrying about tomorrow, but remember and believe that we are saved from God's wrath, no longer His enemies, and reconciled to God as His adopted children... ...then how much love, peace, hope, and joy would abound in us in this present moment.
Is it really a "loss" when a saint departs to be with the Lord, if these things in the Scriptures are true? 1. To live is Christ and to die is gain. 2. God works good for all those who love Him. 3. God is conforming us to the image of His Son. 4. God is producing glory in us.…
Some attempt to have a relationship with God through a dead person such as Mary, Paul, or even a living "priest" or "pastor." And then there are disciples of Jesus who have fellowship with God through the Son by the Holy Spirit. The former knows about God The latter knows God.
Today, on the first day of the week, most of the activities that many churches practice and hold on to...are the traditions of men. Yes, the brethren are coming together as a church, but it's not to obey our Lord Jesus Christ according to the instructions and patterns in the…
Michael, No, we trust in God who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, who is the highest authority and from whom all authority comes from. And in His grace, He has given us His glorious gospel, His inspired Scriptures, His Spirit, and His body/church (of which, all believers are…
The error is in the word, "where." The "we" is the church. The "where" is NOT the church. Let the reader understand.
According to the Scriptures, the church is... - the one body of Christ (all believers) - all believers in a city - two or more believers coming together, assembled, and gathered in His Name. Defining the church beyond this... is men's traditions.
Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many…
Walk in the fear of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray, fast, meditate on His Scriptures, believe, trust, and obey the Lord. There is no need to fear Satan, demons, men, or anything else. God will glorify Himself through our lives and deaths before we see Him face to face. Acts 9:31…
Anything that deviates from the motive and purpose of glorifying God is perverted, twisted, wicked, evil, deceptive, and idolatrous.
Anyone that claims to "maximally seek truth," yet deny that the Lord Jesus Christ is the truth... is a liar. What is falsely called, "knowledge" is NOT knowledge according to God. Rather they are profane, idle babblings, contradictions, philosophy, empty deceit, basic worldly…
Are we obeying Jesus? I Thessalonians 4:11-12 👉 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, 👉 to mind your own business, 👉 and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, 👉 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, 👉 and that you may lack…
Do we comprehend with all the saints...to know the love of Christ? Are we filled with all the fullness of God? Ephesians 3:18-19 ...MAY be able to COMPREHEND with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to KNOW the love of Christ which passes…
Are we like children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine? Doctrine - a set of beliefs Are we equipped to think and believe according to what our Lord Jesus Christ has instructed? Or are we continually told to believe things contrary to Christ and…
