Believing that God has Sovereign rule over everything should draw us deeper into participating with Him in His Kingdom works, and not create passivity.

…..

“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…” (Rom. 8:16)

“He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself…” (1 John 5:10a)

Sometimes people accuse us of blindly following a book.

We believe the Book because the Spirit bears witness in our spirit to the truth of it.

So, it goes far beyond an intellectual assent to truth, it is a personal experience with God which shapes our belief in scripture.

…..

Liberal Christians interpret the Bible according to their fears. They see it written in scripture that terrible times must come before Jesus returns, and, as this scares them, they take the liberty to edit those verses out of the Bible, thus allaying their fears, like an Ostrich sticking its head in the sand.

…..

Whatever technological advances man has made, he couldn’t have done it without God’s assistance. God can help people achieve things even if they don’t acknowledge His existence.

…..

I loathe guns with all my heart and find them disgusting, but it would be a disaster if only the criminals (who are, ironically, mostly Democrat supporters) had guns. The whole nation would be like Chicago.

…..

People of all faiths, or no faith, often exhibit goodness, kindness and many other good traits endowed by their Creator, however, this does not change the fact we are all sinners by nature, and our sins have separated us from God and we need a Savior to reconcile us to God.

…..

When people seductively give away their modesty they throw away their soul.

….

Only the Creator defines His creation. Whatever man thinks he is, he better check with his Creator to find out what he actually is.

…..

When we’re young we might be terrified of getting old, but when we’re old we realize we’re in a better place as human beings than when we were younger.

……

Had a short discussion about “philosophy”. My point is that philosophy ignores man’s greatest and essential need: the need to be reconciled to God by Jesus Christ. So, whatever human benefit is gleaned from it, a man is still lost and condemned in his sins, so it’s like neatly arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. And what if you did arrange those chairs ever so nicely?

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. (Colossians 2:8-10)

So we can see that the devil would have a great interest in getting people distracted with philosophy so that they feel they have wisdom, which can blind them to the fact they need a Savior, Jesus Christ.

“Forgiveness is to set a prisoner free, and to realize the prisoner was you.”

~ Corrie Ten Boom

Pride is the one sin no one likes others to put their finger on. It’s the sin Christians are most protective of.

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6, 1 Peter 5:5)

The proud Christian, instead of finding wonderful grace and power, finds God’s resistance.

There’s many Christians who would be set free completely from bondage if they would humble themselves before God, and become nothing in their own eyes, but find their identity in Christ alone.

Only those who are truly God’s children are disciplined by God.

Others can be full of pride and yet find no resistance at all, rather, the world loves them.

……

We are living in the time of the great apostasia (2 Thes. 2:3, 1 Tim. 4:1, 2 Tim. 3:1) when it will be hard to find Christians who are not backsliden, narcissistic or worldly. That said, why would we lose heart when it’s hard to find true fellowship if our faith is truly in God and not in man?

…..

The Man who rose from the dead, He’s the One.

…..

Only Jesus gave authoritative information about life after death.

Check it out.

…..

Skin color should be ignored.

Yes?

For me, whatever my ancestral race or tribe is is irrelevant to me living my life.

I don’t even care to know it as it’s irrelevant.

I know this might be a minority view, but who cares.

Because the world makes skin color an issue, thus it becomes an issue, and sometimes it’s an inescapable issue due to that fact

….

“For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men…”

(1 Peter 2:15)

…..

Jesus will judge by His values.

This is the dilemma for mankind.

…Got different values.

…..

When, one day, your coffin is lowered into the ground, is that where you will be, in that wooden box? Or will you be somewhere else?

…..

If you want to understand who God is, think of these two things:

• The Universe and everything which exists was made by Him.
• A Man hanging by nails through His wrists, pouring out His blood to reconcile the human race to God.

…..

Our own righteousness won’t do.

…..

If you’re not a believer, are you open to the possibility of becoming a believer?
