Pastor of Christ Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith in Cassopolis, MI since 2010. I hold dear the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles and our Apostolic Fathers.
Part of the deception is that it creates an outward display of righteousness while missing the actual requirements of salvation. It overlooks the fact that proper baptism in Jesus’ name, the reception of the Holy Ghost, and a subsequent life of holiness are all essential; without holiness, the baptism means nothing.
I raised 3 children and I was never once embarrassed by them at home, at church, the store, or at a restaurant (of any kind) because I trained my children at home. I did not abuse my children, I trained them. You don’t wait until they are 10 years old to start trying to train them. Our youngest is mid 30s and we have a great relationship with them and their children are very well behaved now too.
@ApostolicBible1 I’m actually old enough to remember when it was 77 Reasons Why the rapture will happen in 1977. A lot of people were shook up about it and then when it didn’t happen the next year someone came out with 78 reasons why the rapture will take place in 1978. 😂😂😂
Proverbs 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. It stands to reason, if such a command and warning was necessary thousands of years ago, how much more we need to remind people not to change the recipe of the gospel. #avoicecrying
I think one of the reasons so many of us feel overwhelmed is because we’ve lost our rhythms.
We wake up rushed.
Eat rushed.
Pray rushed.
Rest rushed.
I’m learning that restoration often begins by slowing down enough to become intentional again.

@CCCorliss My first thought was what Gamaliel said “And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”
A word of warning: if you are sinning knowingly, don’t seek to hide behind what Jesus did on the cross. That kind of conduct reveals one’s lack of faith in what he accomplished. #avoicecrying
According to the scriptures, a believer is to count themselves as dead as far as sinning is concerned. In other words, after the new birth, we have no more business sinning than a blind man has driving a race car. #avoicecrying
