I've heard Christians say, "I'm spiritual, not religious. I'm free in the Lord, not hung up on dead traditions." But what some of them really mean is, "I've found a convenient way to indulge my carnal appetites while claiming to follow Jesus at the same time." They are deceived!
What we need now is a revival of holiness; a revival of character; a revival of people who are utterly selfless and prepared to lay their lives on the altar for God.
The goal of Christian exhortation shouldn't be to heap guilt or shame on anyone for not suffering enough. The goal should be to encourage a global perspective; intercession, solidarity, and empathy for those who most desperately need it.
@Joel7Richardson@leemcummings Just started reading it as well. In the introduction currently page xx 😊 Joel, will you be at the FAI homefront gathering? My husband and I will be there. Looking forward to the fellowship and growth.
A person who works with house church networks in Afghanistan reports its leaders received letters last night from the #Taliban warning them that they know where they are and what they are doing. The leaders say they aren't going anywhere. So it begins.
@DrMichaelLBrown I have a question: Are there Christian ministries that have good relationships with the Palestinians? It seems like it would be a tough mission field. I stand with Israel. I am also very saddened by the children deaths in Gaza as well.
@netanyahu I am so sorry. That is so sad. I've never been to Israel, but I wish I was there to help somehow. I honestly feel bad for the children on either side of the conflict who have suffered or died. So devastating. I can't be there, but I can pray and grieve with you. <3
@tariqnasheed I sincerely pray that you have an encounter with Jesus Christ that changes your life. Only He can offer True Freedom, Forgiveness and eternal Life. I pray you encounter His Love.
@Joel7Richardson@DaltonLThomas
Do either of you know or have a viewpoint on Revelation 2:10? Specifically the 10 days? A friend was asking me. Thank you!!!
@Qideas@brotherrussell Wow! So for me, I had a personal revival (that's what I'm calling it), 2 years ago in May. We went to a conference @ Radiant Church. I had never heard of the church b4 or Pastor @leemcummings. We went w/ one purpose & didn't realize the real reason God led us there was different.
