Many people only want Jesus as a Savior to keep them out of Hell, but they don't want to submit to him as Lord over their daily lives.
Those who are truly born again actually obey Jesus.
Let me remind and encourage you again: God is sovereign; you and I aren't. This isn't just theology we should proclaim on Sunday; it must be the foundation of our identity every day of the week. God is in absolute control, and he's infinitely good.
I bet he’d write something like:
“I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first formed, and then Eve.”
Jaden Ivey on becoming a Christian:
“I’m not the same player I used to be. That’s why. I’m not the J.I. I used to be. The old J.I. is dead. I’m alive in Christ no matter what the basketball setting is.”
This comes out on April 7th. Evangelicalism is going to be subject to another round of "Heaven Tourism" nonsense, speaking engagements, and Sunday talk shows promoting this latest feel good "miracle" story.
I'll save you a lot of time and $20. You don't need to read this to know that Heaven is real. Jesus didn't reveal anything to this man. He isn't a prophet. He isn't an Apostle. You have everything you need in the Word of God for life and eternity. There is nothing that Jesus needs you to know that is not revealed in Scripture.
John 3:13, "No one has ascended into Heaven, but He who descended from Heaven: the Son of Man."
Romans 8:12-13 LSB — So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die, but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the practices of the body, you will live.
For more than 20 years I put my hands up in celebration on the gridiron.
Now, I put my hands up to the One that gave me all my talents and abilities — the King of my life, Jesus Christ.
I’ve never claimed to be perfect, but my aim is for the direction of my life to honor Christ and I pray my faith increases.
So I do want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, whether you’re solo, with family, or friends, and if you haven’t done so, put your faith in Him who can save, Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9
[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
My little book on sanctification is 50% off at Grace Books. It’s a short read on pursuing practical holiness in the strength of Christ’s grace.

Annihilationism, the belief where people burning in hell for thousands of years is considered just, but people burning in hell eternally is considered “cruel and unusual punishment” and “doesn’t fit the character of God”?
Get out of here with your non-sequitur. Hell is forever.
If you say you’re a Christian, but you refuse to go to church, why is the Holy Spirit in you refusing to convict you over what the Holy Spirit has commanded all Christians do? As clearly as it could possibly be stated: here are church offices of authority, here are shepherds with qualifications, here’s a list of things your church should be doing and how they should do it, Paul wrote letters to churches not individuals, and remember, do not forsake the gathering.
If you do not long for the Church, there’s a grand argument you do not live for Christ.
