Are you “pursuing spiritual perfection”? Or: Are you deep in the miry clay, still, lost in your sinfulness? Want to get out? Turn. Get yourself to Jesus through sincere and truthful prayer. Christians do not have to sin. You once turned – to it. And so it is a choice also to turn from it, from what has ensnared you – and turn to Jesus in repentance. It’s a choice: be faithful once again, or stumble like a drunk, eat vomit like a dog, wallow like a pig.
In Christ I am a strong person
Are you strong? Have you proven yourself?
Well Said
Quotes from people, just ordinary and extraordinary humans, and Jesus – the Godman.
This is who we are in Christ
Real Christians “keep and obey…” We have a creed. We follow the example of Jesus. Our life imitates His – not in the sense of wearing robes and sandals, but in the sense of being like Jesus.
God can do anything He decides to do
Long ago “and far away” God decided how things were going to be. Are you down with that? God is asking you to repent and join Him – forever.
Take a Stance on Homosexuality – like Jesus did
Anything contrary to God’s expressed will has to be carefully avoided. Homosexuality, for example, is pushed nowadays as “okay by God”. But actually, it is listed in the Bible right beside many other practices that are not pleasing to God. Temptation towards any sin is NOT sinful. But, if we practice a sin, then we deny Christ. Want to please God in all you do?
Be full of joy – because of this…
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. – Romans 8:1,37-39
301 Things you are in Christ
IF you are “in Christ”, everything is new for you. Your name can go on every line in this list below! Test yourself. Maybe there is more to your Christian life than what you are experiencing.
Explaining the Basic Christian Experience [Part Two]
We are given new life in Christ when we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Oh the wonder of passing from being “God-damned” to being “marvelously saved by Jesus”. We then begin growing into our natural new life in Christ. Oh how marvelous this journey! Ephesians chapter 1 lists “the natural order of things” in our spiritual dimension.
Behaving Stupidly
Arrogance and pride. So easy to see in others. So difficult to see in myself. The example of Christ leads to rational self evaluation.
Playing With Sin
Sinners who accept sin, who conform themselves to their flesh – in whatever form, remain under condemnation still. If you struggle with sin, that means you are not accepting of it. You are rejecting sin but finding your flesh overwhelming. Born-again followers do that. There is a difference between being a sinner – versus living in sin. All born-again believers are sinners, but they have rejected sin by turning to Christ. They have been freed by God – from condemnation.
A New Creation
Can you explain to someone else what the Bible requires for salvation? Paul wrote to make sure we know.
Writing About Religion
-commentary about the March 11, 2016 article, How Christianity explains Trump, by writer Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry. Very interesting how major writers write about religion in our country. I am always interested when they write about my faith, to see if they get it right. Some really get it wrong. They write as if they know what the […]
Who Are You In Christ?
Do you know who you are? If you are truly in Christ – you are much more than what many believers think they are! See this interactive document by CGrobler.
Who You Are In Christ
Never let the enemy tell you that you are worthless or insignificant. You have value in the eyes of God so great that it was worth dying for. You are a blessing to the world.
Never Die Alone
It is impossible for me to “die alone”. How about you? Are you in Christ, ready to die whenever, wherever, with Him with you?
Christ Bell
I know who I am. I am a child of the King. I’ve been redeemed and now I am bound for Heaven. Jesus saved me from my sins and set me free forever.
