@MikeWingerii Rev. 22He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Acts 2- "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins." Mat. - "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
Service in the Kingdom of God is never to be viewed as a form of slavery. It is to be willing service engaged in from a heart that has fallen in love with the One who first loved us. ~ Derek W. H. Thomas
Romans 8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to CONT
Rebekah became pregnant. The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.
The Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people CONT.
@MOSSADil repeatedly cried out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” And immediately n angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and [l]died. ~ Acts 12:21B, 22, 23
@MOSSADil As a Bible believing, follower of Jesus Christ, I'm concerned for the President in saying such a thing. In effect, he is taking credit for God's work. This is dangerous. I'm thinking of "Herod took his seat on the rostrum and began delivering an address to them. The people cont.
The evidence of true faith is not that a man never falls. It is that he no longer walks comfortably in the same old road of sin.
A believer is not known by flawless performance, but by a heart that has been made alive to God. He grieves over sin. He runs to Christ. He desires holiness. He may stumble, but he cannot settle down in rebellion as though Christ has no claim over him.
“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3).
This is where many deceive themselves. They think a past prayer, a religious memory, or a Christian label is enough, while their lives show no repentance, no hunger for righteousness, and no love for the Lord. Scripture does not give comfort to that kind of empty profession.
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
The true Christian still fights weakness, temptation, and remaining sin, but there is now a war inside him that was not there before. He does not make peace with what nailed his Saviour to the cross.
“For if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).
So the question is not, “Am I perfect?” The question is, “Has God changed my heart, turned me toward Christ, and begun a work in me that I could never produce myself?”
“He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).
“Is the final purpose of a Jewish state just to achieve security [for the Jewish people]? Or a much higher one — a state sanctifying the name of God in the eyes of Jews and also in the eyes of the world, led by the ideas of justice and righteousness, all principles that CONT.
Antisemitism is not generic intolerance. It mutates across ideological movements. It colonizes causes that consider themselves the enemies of bigotry. Fighting it requires expertise in where it actually lives right now, not just where it lived in 1935. CONT.
Although I don't watch it, I have nothing against UFC fighting. I AM puzzled by an idea I see floating around of a hope that a UFC fight event would "inspire patriotism" in Americans...🤔
language. That is either madness, blasphemy, or divinity... The prophets spoke for God. Jesus spoke as God. And that changes everything. ~ Shahriq Khan Muslim Revival (Edited)
“Jesus, peace be upon him, was just a prophet.”
I used to say that all the time.
And honestly, it sounded respectful, safe, and reverent.
But here’s what nobody told me:
Calling Jesus “just a prophet” is like calling the sun a flashlight.
Technically, you acknowledged light CONT
to be truth. And the Jews around Him understood exactly what He was saying, which is why they tried to kill Him for blasphemy. Because no prophet talks like this: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” “I and the Father are one.” “Your sins are forgiven.” That is not normal prophetic CONT.
