Taken from the article: Bad Fruit Here is Ephesians 4: verses 12-32 — transposed and liberally edited to make a hypothetical list: The Bad Fruit List. I am not changing the Scriptural meaning. (Not to worry.) I am merely making it speak as if Paul were to have spoken this passage directly to only those […]
Puny humans
…quotes about mere puny mud-men and women of clay – us. – From The Damning God “What God thinks. God has spoken to man – through the Bible. And He is the One that made it all happen. Doesn’t that sort of trump us all? Shouldn’t the Truths of God take precedence over whatever it is […]
Does it matter – what you believe?
Is it really all that important — who you are and what you believe? When it comes to God, getting born again, and what is or is not “a part of walking the walk” – does it matter? What is it, really, — getting “saved” and, following Jesus or following whatever? Does it matter? Do […]
Being faithful, little by little
What drives you, day by day, to do the things you do, to act the way you choose to act? Those who are faithful to Christ – are not faithful all-at-once, and faultless thereafter. Those who are faithful to the end – are faithful over time, little-by-little. Faithfulness is a process. We live, we try, […]
Watch out for the dogs!
Watch out for those vicious scavenger dogs, the Apostle Paul warned. Basically he was saying, “Watch out for those who distort true Christianity! There are a lot of people distorting the gospel of Jesus. The dog may look nice, but it’s vicious. Ever been biten by a “nice” dog? Jesus would say, “That’s not my […]
Only God’s Way Leads to Himself
It makes sense that God will have HIS WAY. Why do so many today think God is McDonald’s, saying “Have it your way!” God is not McDonald’s! He will have it His Way, come Hell or High Heaven. It does matter what we believe. We have to agree with God. We have to agree with […]
No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy. God is not a slacker with low standards. God is not… lackadaisical, namby-pamby, banal, bland, inane, milk-and-water, vapid, milk-toast, enervated, languid, listless, spiritless neither one thing nor the other (-Babylon) God is very sure of Himself! After all – who else is there like he? He is the One […]
Following Someone
“Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done, And the roll is called up yonder” …will you be there? 1 [old hymn] So sad to think of it. Unfathomably horrifying, what will be the experience of so, so many “so-called” Christians on that momentous day, when, in person, they […]
Practicing Sin, Not Following Christ
Are you practicing sin? Is there sin you constantly practice? Have you grown accustomed to accepting [“your” sin] as okay with God? Are you okay with the practices of your life? Scripture teaches us very clearly what is obviously …NOT following Christ. In fact, we are warned that “that those who practice such things will […]
Following
Have you truly been born again, changed, given new birth by the Holy Spirit – now a child of God? If you receive Christ as Lord and Savior, you instantly are changed into a brand new creation! Life begins new. This is what it means to be “a follower” of Jesus Christ. You seek Him […]
Be a little more Christian
These days it seems so few know what the Bible really says about being a Christian. Many think it does not matter what you think. They say: Follow whatever you prefer. Just call yourself Christian, and try to “be a little more Christian” every day: be nicer, kinder, less cranky, more tolerant, accepting of others. […]
Realities God Has Established
…Your Beliefs vs. God’s Realities Remember playing as a child, making-up fantasy scenarios? I was constantly pretending. I was a knight in shining armor conquering all! I was a race car driver with my matchbox cars buzzing down the road I’d scraped into the dirt! I was thinking myself into my own little world. I […]
