Follower of Jesus Christ who saves sinners when they repent from their sins and put their trust in His complete work of salvation and live for the only King.
Gut wrenching.
We may be enjoying a bit of a reprieve from the last 4 years in this country as Christians, but this is definitely not the reality many of our other brothers and sisters around the world are experiencing.
Btw - Benny Hinn prophesied in 2001 that within one year "there would not be one Muslim left in Nigeria."
How are Christians to walk the fine line between affirming and reviling those whose actions declare them to be God’s enemies? Alistair Begg seeks to answer that as he clarifies the counsel he gave to a grandmother in the summer of 2023. https://t.co/fCqmbrFlcX
Everything you need to know about metaphysics, life, ethics, and redemption begins in Genesis. The Book of Genesis establishes the Christian worldview. A worldview that stands directly in opposition to the secular zeitgeist.
-One God who existed before time and space.
-God created everything that exists.
-God created man in His image as male and female.
-God instituted marriage and the family as one man and one woman for life.
-God gave the man and woman commands for their good.
-Man disobeyed God’s command when tempted by the Serpent and plunged mankind into sin and death.
-God promised a Savior who would come to crush the Serpent’s head on behalf of mankind (the promise of Messiah).
-God established government for the maintaining of His institutional law (those who shed the blood of others would suffer the same fate).
-God established a covenant with a man named Abraham by which He would fulfill His original promise to bring a Savior to bless mankind.
It is all there in Genesis.
When you add ‘tradition’ and the ‘magisterium’ to the authority of Scripture, you elevate man’s ideas to God’s truth.
God supernaturally inspired the Scriptures. He has not inspired bishops and catechisms.
The gospel is not a philosophy.
The gospel is not a social program.
The gospel is not a new law.
The gospel is Jesus Christ crucified, resurrected, and ascended.
What a joy it is to fellowship with genuine Christians whose hearts belong to the Lord.
Christ’s people are one of the greatest gifts this side of eternity. Fill your life with them.
What does it mean to be “sealed” with the Holy Spirit (Eph 1:13)?
1. Security (Matt 27:66)
2. Ownership (Rev 7:3)
3. Authenticity (Rom 4:11)
The Holy Spirit locks in our faith, authenticates us in Christ, and protects us as God’s own people.
A wife is to respect her husband. A husband is to love his wife.
God gives husbands and wives different responsibilities to meet their different needs. This reflects Christ’s relationship to the Church.
Anyone who says that your trial is preventing you from having “the abundant life,” doesn’t know what the abundant life is.
Paul endured a myriad of trials. He lived abundantly. Christ endured the angst of Gethsemane and the pain of the Cross. He lived abundantly.
The only hope for victory over sin is the gospel.
The only hope for the forgiveness of sins is the gospel.
The only hope for true peace of mind is the gospel.
The only hope for life transformation is the gospel.
The gospel is the power of God to salvation!
