For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
Welcome to a site devoted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's my desire
that the Lord would use these pages to proclaim His Gospel, to invite people to put their
trust in Him, to build His Ekklesia, and to warn of false gospels, false messiahs, and counterfeit religious
systems.
Issues that are important for us to examine together, being
motivated by love: What is the nature of God, Who Jesus is, What is the Gospel,
Ecclesiology, Eschatology, the purpose and calling and priorities of the Bride of Christ, Bible translations/versions, interpreting the plain meaning of
scripture, the sovereignty of God and human responsibility, the work of the Holy Spirit, what is true Biblical unity and what are the
counterfeits, what are the commandments of God for the people of God since Messiah came,
what are disputable matters and how shall we dispute them in love, how shall we be in the
world but not of the world, how to warn of deceptions without promoting doom & gloom...
"Many tender-minded Christians fear
to sin against love by daring to inquire into anything that comes
wearing the cloak of Christianity and breathing the name of Jesus. They
dare not examine the credentials of the latest prophet to hit their town
lest they be guilty of rejecting something which may be of God. . .
.This is supposed to indicate a high degree of spirituality. But in
sober fact it indicates no such thing. It may indeed be evidence of the
absence of the Holy Spirit.
"Gullibility is not synonymous with
spirituality. Faith is not a mental habit leading its possessor to open
his mouth and swallow everything that has about it the color of the
supernatural. Faith keeps its heart open to whatever is of God, and
rejects everything that is not of God, however wonderful it may be.
""Try the spirits" is a
command of the Holy Spirit to the church (1 John 4:1). We may sin as
certainly by approving the spurious as by rejecting the genuine. . . .To
appraise things with a heart of love and then to act on the results is
an obligation resting upon every Christian in the world."
The most famous advocate of the deception of "The Power of Positive
Thinking" was the 33rd degree Freemason, Norman Vincent Peale, the
founder of Guideposts magazine.
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we
will remember the name of the LORD our God. Psalm 20:7
Why
do the nations rage?
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, Psalm
2:1-2
Our
weapons are not carnal
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling
down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to
the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
The
whole world is under the control of the wicked one
And we know that we are of God, and the whole world
lieth in wickedness. 1 John 5:19
Ambassadors
for Christ
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be
made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
Lust
of the eyes
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the
will of God abideth for ever.1 John 2:16-17
Love
of money
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which
while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10
Where
do wars come from?
From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of
your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and
desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not,
because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye
may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not
that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore
will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth
in us lusteth to envy? James 4:1-5
