Christ Follower or Devil Dodger?

John 6 gives us an example of "followers of Christ" (christian yes little C today's church goers should need to proof their commitment before claiming the Big C but that is another story), they were interested in being fed and seeing miracles. It seems the only thing they were interested in was to see what Christ would give them or do next. Christ hid from the crowd. He realized what was going on and tried to explain to them that miracles and wonders that you do will not get you into heaven. Seeing miracles and wonders for being in the same place when they happen do not make a religious experience. The people he was talking to do the law. They knew the word. At the time they used it against him to try to get him to make more food do more tricks to them. He was like a dancing monkey in the circus.

Devil, Dodgers are another type of follower. This type go to church and revival meetings, pray for the sick, care for the orphans and widows. They may even preach on the sidewalk and save countless others in Christ name but these are all works. Their commitment is to do good until they are saved and in Heaven. Their works are good and sound, they do miracles and have an understanding for Scripture but their goal to do good is backwards.

Good works do benefit the body of Christ those that are doing good works benefit the body of Christ. Only if their goal is to be more Holy, and to be Holy is to be more like Christ. The works of going to church caring for orphans, widows, and the sick our rituals much like reciting liturgy, or prayers in church it is something that makes a person feel like they're missing something if they do not do them. It is when these rituals and works stop being a duty and become a privilege to help others to benefit others, not yourself.

The disciples of Christ when they saw something Christ was doing anything from praying to raising the dead, but ask why do you do that or teach us to do that. They knew that one day there discipleship would be over and they would become the teachers of his disciples when Jesus healed the man, the disciples asked why was this man born this way did his parents sent him Jesus said no but he was here that the glory of God would be made known when they asked Jesus teach us to pray. He pointed to a person and said don't pray like that guy. 

You see the difference between a Follower of Christ a Devil Dodger a Christian or Disciple is the goal that the person has. Followers like to see tricks and dancing monkeys they feel warm and fuzzy inside the Devil Dodger is only doing what he thinks is necessary and needful for him and him alone to get into heaven. The Christian goal is to be more like Christ, not to do the tricks that he did because he did them, but like Christ the miracles and signs, wonders where done to prove God's glory, honor and strength, His mercy for his children his righteousness for all man. Miracles and wonders do happen today they did not end with the apostles. It is the Christians moral obligation to show the world who Christ is not who he was or who he will be but who he is, we are to reflect the image of God through Christ to others.

We Forgot Our Master

Christ said that he did not come to the healthy he came for the sick. He did not say that he was not with the healthy Luke 5:31-32. Is.57:15 Christ is with us on our highest joys and triumphs He is with us also when we are broken and abased. Now if Christ is our Master and we his disciple should not we go to our neighbor and do the same. We like Peter, James and John want to build the tent and celebrate for eternity the joys Christ gives us. We forgot our master was not sent to celebrate life but to save it. God when the time was right sent Christ to the world, Christ when the time was fulfilled sent his disciples into the world.

When Christ was teaching his disciples, he set them aside and told them that they had power over demons sickness and famine. Then he sent them out with only the shirts on their back and the shoes on their feet. Luke. 9:3-5 The reason was he did not want them to set up their tent and hang a sign over it saying “Find Christ Here” he told them to knock on the first house that open it’s door and go in. Christ sent us to go into the world and teach make disciples not to set up a tent and beg people to come but to stand outside their house and ask to come in just as Christ knocks on the door that he that hears him and opens the door he will come in to him. RE.3:20

The Cutting From The Reaper

At some time, we may ask that God would take me and give me rest and then I remember those whom I love and see the lives that Christ has called me to, then too remember parable of the beggar and the rich man, one to paradise the other to perdition. What a selfish request that I ask;  rather to be by Jesus’ side than doing His work on earth. What life can I bring to Christ’s redemption before this time of life with them ends?

Paul had contemplated this in Phil.1:20-24 he realized that he would leave this world when Christ calls him and until that time, he would continue to live out the life that Christ has given him.

To live is Christ and to His glory, we reflect Christ’s love and live his life of redemption to our brothers and sisters of man that they may know through us His love and salvation is for them.

To live as Christ and to His glory, we reflect Christ love and the power of his resurrection to the brothers and sisters in Christ, that they may know that the trials and pain that is endured are but a passing in time that leads to eternal life in Christ.

When Christ championed Death, the cutting of the Reaper to the redeemed is life in Christ there is no sting. The slow cutting of the Reaper from this world for those unredeemed is mercy that they may call to the Champion and live.

Heart and Mind

The mind of Christ or the heart of Christ, Christians prayed and want to have or possess both of these. My question is can to minds exist in one body or can two hearts exist in one body? If the person is truly a Christian, his first desire is to let his mind his heart die with the old man. That way the new heart and mind of Christ can thrive and survive without being subdued or suppressed by the old man. Sounds like a simple statement. But before this can happen, the follower must become a disciple. The differences between these are simple;

The follower of Christ was one of the 5000 that he fed with loaves and fish.

A follower of Christ is simply someone who likes to see tricks and magic shows (miracles and wonders). The disciple of Christ is one that has surrendered everything left his family, burned his fields and house to walk, live, think, and possess the thoughts and deeds of Christ, his master. 

Content in Christ

To know that your desires are only on Christ and that love burns within you so brightly that others see  you are love sick to the point that all you want is to know more about him.

Perfectly content in what you have; salvation, grace and with the desire to be more, Christ like.

Being content is having your heart and mind so passionate that you glow with the love and as you pass people, your shadow reflects Christ's love on them.

A Christian is a perfectly self-controlled

We have all heard the expression he has a lot of self-control. It usually boils down to an insult or physical assault that the
person has resisted response to. What about the phrase having a good bead and things or getting your ducks in a row these are all phrases that meant something to people to demonstrate I'm not look on life or how to live. 

What is self-control? 

You might say self-control is the ability to resist or to think about a problem to have the right answer the first time. That sounds right but it is also training yourself to come to the conclusion that one thing is right and everything else is wrong to set that in your mind and to keep that for us like a sounding board. 

What is the Christian sounding board or what is the Christians control? 

The word of God. Self-control is not adjusting your temper or outbursts of emotion those would be controlling yourself adjusting your physical demeanor to suit more culturally approved practices. Self-control is what you really think who you really are between you and the fence post you can control what comes out of your mouth or what you hear or see you may choose to respond or not respond but that is controlling yourself what you were thinking at the time is self-control. Setting your minds. Realizing one thing is right and everything else is wrong to test everything against that one thing and that is the word of God. True self-control comes when wrong happens your response is in accordance to God's word and Christ's heart. That is how you become perfectly self-controlled. 1Peter 1:13-14

A Christian is a perfectly shameless testimony of God's salvation

The Christian walk or life is not one of solitude and loneliness, as the Christian goes about his normal day he is reminded of brothers and sisters in Christ and prays for them. He is reminded of the lost and prays for them, shares with them the joy of his salvation. Though through life the Christian may perceive himself as alone, he must realize that as he prays for fellow believers, they too are praying for him to strengthen him in spirit, as he strengthens them in his prayers.

As the Christian's walk strengthens his witness and testimony becomes known to others and they share with their friends the witness of community. Many days or hundreds of miles may separate Christians from their brothers, but Christ spirit binds us together and together one man's testimony is strengthened through prayer of the brethren. With the prayers of brothers and sisters around the world, lifting fellow believers up, what is there to be ashamed of? ---Philippians 1:18-26

A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject to all. Luther

To be a Christian is to be a servant. 

When a new member comes to church he is asked to get involved, that means to do something, a real Christian member would come and say how can I be of service not expecting to really be anything or do anything but it seems to be the right thing to say. When the pastor is looking for Sunday school teachers or vacation Bible school volunteers he'll pick a sermon about Jesus washing feet or harvesting and how we are supposed to serve the church. Yes Jesus was giving an example of how the powerful and great must become a servant of all. But what Jesus saying it wasn't just about humility, but sacrifice caregiving and love.

Lawgivers are all appointed by God
Today a lot of people when they hear the words servant are wondering how they're going to get people to work for them to raise funds for their cause, love is far from those asking for service and servants. Romans 13 talks about being subject on to higher powers. Today's people when they hear of government and taxes throw tea parties and protests. What they don't realize is God has put the president in the seat, the Senators and lawgivers are all appointed by God. What Romans is trying to say do your duties to government realize that they were put there by God himself and if you disrespect the government you're disrespecting God.

Freely desire to love
Love your neighbor love your school love your community not begrudgingly but freely desire to love your fellow man. Romans 13:6-10

A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none.-Luther

"You shouldn’t do that it upsets me I’m a Christian" or “Why do Christians walk and talk like they have a cross stuck up their…” but let’s get down to it what should we consider our witness is, Arrogance, Condemning and Depressed is that how the world see us? I would say for the most part, yes. One question is how are Christians supposed to act, or be? In Matthew 28 and in Mark 16 Jesus tells his disciples to go and preach to baptize to teach them everything that he had taught them. He didn't ask them to surround the village and beat them into salvation, or to change the village culture into what Christianity should be. Preaching the word of God should not draw blood or diminish a person's heritage. Romans 8 says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. John 15 Jesus is talking about the Vine and branches and abiding in his love, or living in his love. He didn't boycott companies that were not Christian. He didn't tell people not to go into that part of town because they're all bad people. Christ love. The love of Christ is given to us through his Holy Spirit. It's nothing we can drum up, or be taught. Everything and more that Christ did is ours to do if we are in Christ. Surrendering ourselves is to live as Christ loved every man, woman and child was loved by Christ, not communities, cultures or churches but the person. Christ didn't change the culture in Israel, why do we think we need to change the culture to witness to the person is our witness, so shallow that it only works if the person is wearing shoes, pants close the little black hat? Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 is trying to explain how he is able to win so many souls to Christ. First off, he reinforces the idea that he is free to do as he wants because he knows that what he wants is what Christ wants. Then he says he becomes a servant to everyone a Jew to the Jew or Greek to the Greek a sinner to this sinners and a lawyer to the lawyers. He didn't walk on to Mars Hill and demand that they take down their temples and shrines before he witnesses. He didn't tell the jailer to clean up the cell before he sat down. If that was true, the only way the sinner could be saved would be by doing on Christian works for a Christian reward. John 3:16 would be gibberish. We have to remember is because of love that Jesus came it was because of love that Paul became all things to all men and it should be because of love that we witness

A Christian is a perfectly redeemed heir in the Kingdom of light

Perfectly redeemed heir to the kingdom, does not have anything to do with your works or deeds good or bad, like in the prodigal son returning son was willing to sacrifice his family that he might live. The son realized that his inheritance was spent and he expected nothing in return from his father. His only hope was that his father would see him as a worthy worker. But the father's love for his son was so strong and unending that the joy seeing him coming home could not be held back. The servants had no argument with the father's decision they were just as happy to see him. The love that God our father has is so strong that when we turned from our sin and look to him for help he's already there he doesn't see the sin, the wasted time the bad decisions or the hurt that we may have caused him, he only sees his child nothing more.

Col. 1:10-14, Luke 15:22-24

A Christian is a perfectly strengthened believer in the faith.

Colossians 2:6-10 

What does it mean to be perfectly strengthened? As a Christian we need to understand that as we surrender ourselves to death as Christ And raise again in his resurrection we need to realize we are not the same sinful person we were before receiving Christ. Romans 6:3-7. If we are truly carnally dead the only desire of our spirit is to do God's will as it is his Holy Spirit who lives in us, the Spirit that comforts us and strengthens us to withstand and repel the workings of flash and the devil. The longer we withstand our flesh the stronger the Spirit of God becomes in us.

Growing in strength of spirit not of will

I have said, “the spirit of man grows slowly in the heart of the Christian." To explain this better man or the flash wants to live and take again control of man's heart. The spirit of man or his carnal being does not die but needs to be subdued by the heart or soul of man wanting to do the fathers will. This battle goes on between spirit, soul because man is sin, man cannot help but want to do his own carnal will. When the Holy Spirit comes is when the battle rages and the spirit of man needs to devise a more subdued attack. Using God's word, and people's prayers, if not checked against the will of God can be and sometimes is man's own will justifying fleshly action through Christian desire. When the Spirit of Christ has strength from the yielding spirit of man the believer finds balance, love, and an overflowing strength to continue his walk.

Realizing the strength we have

A Christian does not need to wait for catastrophe or weakness to cry out to God the father, but often times that is the case, and that is only because the Christian begins to rely on his own strength and it is only when his strength is used up that he understands his made for the father. The believer does not need to use his own strength to stay with his eyes towards God, he needs to realize and surrender his strength is not his own his strength is from God and the power of the Holy Spirit that lives in him and as he realizes strength is not his, the stronger he will become to withstand evil and persuasive arguments of religion against what God and his word says.

Perfectly strengthened is perfect in weakness 

stop eating cookies

Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul and all these things will be added unto you. Why is it we try to give a little bit of us for a lot of God's blessings? We can't expect God to give us something. If the phrase “I'll do this for you if exists” if used in a sentence; I’ll stop eating cookies have you help me with my weight. The simplest answer to that prayer would be God saying “stop eating cookies”. Serving God, heart trusting in Christ is more part of asking God what would you want me to do

Just when you think Lutherans can't get any worse, something like this comes along.

The question is in today's world. What is right and pure? Such things in social media I have seen on pages, statements and feedback from followers created such banter that they only lead to man/sin.

Social media pages like Facebook and Twitter allow people to see other people doings without being exposed or having to share themselves directly, making it easy to take statements and bend them in a way that changes the context of the previous postings.

It also allows people to see your true self by assembling a time line, stitching ourselves together much like rings in a tree, allowing others and ourselves to see the good and bad times and how we dealt with the difficult and good times. With this history of growth we lay out who we are and with who our allegiances are.

Christ did not come into this world to empower followers with the Spirit of God only to have them be immersed in the affairs of the world so deeply that one cannot remove the bile from the chaste. Christ did not reflect man's doings and failures as he walked on the earth. Christ himself was truly a new Adam pure man as God intended man to be before the fall, seeing through God's eye, acting through God's heart and moving through God's body on Earth.

In the past 2000 years since his crucifixion. Christ is seen in the world but by us, the believers and followers of Christ. The Bible says in Matthew 22:39 that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. It says nothing about becoming your neighbor or changing your standards or morality to fit your neighbor. 1 John 2:15-17 tells us not to love anything in the world. John 15:19 tells us that as believers we are not in the world, so the world will not love us.

Baptism what good is it?

Early one Sunday morning a drunkard heard a commotion down by the lake he went down to see what was going on there he found a group of people surrounding a man in black dunking people in headfirst bringing them out and asking them if they have found the Lord. The drunkard is curious he goes down to help. The people see that he is still drunk and think they can help, the man in black grabs him and pushes into the water pulls him up and says have you found the Lord the drunkard says no and then he goes again. This time the preacher is holding him down a little bit longer. He pulls him up and yells have you found the Lord? The drunkard says no, a third time he goes in the preacher pulls them out and says have you found the Lord? This time the drunkard grabs him by the shoulders and says no. Are you sure this is where he went in?  Augustine was so obsessed with baptizing that he mentioned he didn't care how much or what was used to baptize, the element meant nothing. He uses an analogy to prove the point. "If you prick your finger your whole body feels it. It doesn't matter how you baptize as long as you are baptized." Luther using this example states that, but in an emergency, if water wasn't available, you could use beer. A lot of time has passed since Augustine and Luther but it seems people are still complaining and arguing about how much water to use the gifts sprinkled, dipped or dunked, warm water or cold. The church and people argue over the little things but fail in the big things. Both Luther and Augustine agreed that one baptism, whether fully immersed or a drop of water. It was still baptism. It doesn't matter if you're using water or beer. It doesn't matter if you baptize the finger of a baby or push a 600 pound man deep into a pool it's not the amount of water or element that is used is that it is done. When is the best time to be baptized? There are no verses in the Bible that say what time is best an infant or an adult. You may try to use versus like Mark 16:16 where it states he who believes and is baptized will be saved, the other side is Acts 16:31-34 where it says everyone in the household was baptized an argument flies babies don't have faith. But when Mary the mother of Jesus was visiting her cousin, who was pregnant with John the Baptist, the Bible says Luke 1:41 he leapt and she was filled with the spirit even before being born this verse proves babies or the unborn can have faith. The baby is told by his parents that he was baptized and he should be happy with that. If he claims that that baptism doesn't count is he thinking his parents are lying to him? How does he know if these people are even his parents? He was too young to understand but how can a person see himself being born. He has to go by the witnesses of the birth. He believes that his parents are his parents and that he was baptized when they said he was. When he picks up faith and believes it's his baptism is just as fresh and new as it was when he was a baby. When an adult is baptized he proclaims to the church his reason for being baptized that it is his wish to be washed of sin through the water of baptism. The infant is told of baptism that he would walk in faith. The adult is baptized because he is walking in faith. Luther trying to settle this same argument, agreeing that there is no proof in the Bible to time or days after birth to be baptized, or that infants could have faith or not he simply states for the past thousand years. The church has prevailed. Why change something with such weak proof. Why has this argument as too age been so important? The devil would have nothing easier to do than to postpone of baptism. He too would state he who believes and is baptized is saved but what's the rush you need to prove your faith before your baptized. As the person ages and grows. failing in faith it would prove that he has no hope of being saved, so why bother being baptized. The devil is winning and people are moving farther and farther away from faith. Christianity has been watered down and is suffering the ravages of time. Christianity is just another religion of fairy tales. Something you remember around Christmas and Easter, but the rest of the time is to prove Christmas is pagan and Easter is pagan. Today people are being challenged in their faith. The true believers are seen as crackpots kooks or something to laugh at and make jokes. To most who go to church it's simply a formality, something to get done. In todays church the baptism or to be baptized means very little. It's over with in no time at all, but to those who truly believe in baptism. It has held you to the faith realizing that you are drowned in sin allowing for a spiritual birth. To realize that our baptism reminds us of our death and floods us with grace it cannot be done until our body dies, then the true baptism is over.

Has the church reached a turning point?

Young ‘Millennials’ losing faith in record numbers

  http://www.religionnews.com/faith/doctrine-and-practice/Young-Millennials-losing-faith-in-record-numbers

Can the seminaries change their teaching from pastoring and teaching to evangelism and apostleship? The Western church has been in a bubble for thousand years we have been preaching and teaching the young and old what it is to stay a Christian. Denominations have been reinforcing their doctrine as the only one keeping in Christ. Churches and families have generation all membership fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers, uncles, aunts, sisters and brothers have been married baptized and married in the same faith be it Catholic, Lutheran, or Presbyterian it makes no difference we have been born and raised according to the beliefs of our chosen church. A recent blog posting had a study on how faith is losing in record numbers. It is not that Catholics are going to the Lutheran Church and Lutherans are going to an assembly church it is people not going to church and raising their children away from church.

Where have we been and where are we going?

Old members of church remember what their parents told them what church was what community was who God was, old communities have one or two denominations. Those were Catholic and Protestant and those denominations did not mingle it simply was not done. Today we have churches that claim no denomination, but have the basis they are simply choosing a denomination that is not one of the others. As people try to build churches to comfort people we are forgetting what we have been taught. And as time goes by. What we have forgotten cannot be taught. The teachers will be able to say that was a time when the hand of God was needed or it used to be like that. But it doesn't anymore. We don't need to be radicals the time for hard teaching is over. As more and more of these small denominations or congregations start the thinner and thinner religion becomes and because for the past thousand years. Religion has been in the family. We have not seen the change we simply say that's not how grandpa did it. What is that saying about this generation? Books, movie and television have watered-down Christianity but in the same breath risen up man and his flesh. Slowly, over time the television has crept into the house slowly exposing people to newsreels of war then shows of war. We remember the war numbers and news anchors reading casualty and fatality reports as if it was whether movies about war and the great battles romanticizing death and destruction. Television shows about war veterans easing back into life or flashing back to the comedy side shows like M*A*S*H and Magnum PI these were good lighthearted fun. John Wayne and his Green Berets all slowly chipping away at the heart of Christian values. Then comes television sitcoms like bewitched dark shadows and reality television like ghost hunters. They are not mentioning Christ your Christian values. They are bringing sorcery and spiritism slowly chipping away other Christian values. Ask any young person. The definition of a zombie they would say a person who is dead but is still walking the earth one of the shows on television said if we follow that definition. Jesus himself was a zombie. Logic like that is changing man's outlook on the spiritual side of life. It is, I think preparing civilization for an outpouring of spiritual happenings both blessed and cursed. In time the things that happen on television it movies and books become so common the mind of man accepts them as real, allowing Satan to bring his spirit to man.

Well the church as we know it be ready?

If evil continues at the rate it is there is no hope for the church as we know it now. What is needed is for the church to realize that members are not finding other pews to sit in. They simply have lost faith and today the church has no way of winning a soul back, let alone finding a truly lost soul our evangelism simply does not know how to bring the gospel to the unchurched. The church today starts out that the people they are speaking to heaven understanding of Christ and his workings. This is partially true today but tomorrow or next year. Our neighbor could be the generation that has not been taught about Christ or church. Two days pastor must become tomorrow's evangelist today's evangelist must become tomorrow's apostle men and women ready to face the evil coming to explain to people who have not heard the first step of faith they have no idea who Jesus is except the curse word. When the pool cue slips. Men, women, anchored in their faith able to say you want to see Jesus. You see me do what I do not to condemn them as sinners or even lower ourselves to be sinners like them, we are not. We are saved. We have been taught the glorious treasures of God. They will see that to equate ourselves with them, cannot be done.

The apostles in the old church did not broadcast look at me the chief sinner humbly preaching the word of God no, they boldly preach and taught. Men as a whole wants to be a champion of powerful man would not look at a weaker one and say I want to be like him but a strong man would look at one stronger and say I want to be like him. What does a humble apologetic man have to offer humanity?

Christmas or Easter

Who is naughty and who is nice. Do we think that we will be judged like Santa Claus? Some of us treat our Christianity in that light. Ephesians 4:17-18, is asking Christians to stop living like the other people and it wasn't so that the others would see their witness, but rather that they would be able to see what God has in store for them and to understand his word. It is all for their benefit and their growth. Like today, Christians should try to live up apart from nonbelievers, so that they may understand and grow in their walk in Christ. What was true then and what is true now is the nonbeliever is in darkness they cannot understand God's word or see Gods workings in this world today. That is why nonbelievers ridicule and jest at the believer and at the word of God, it's not because they are angry at us. It is they are embarrassed by their ignorance. We as believers have been given a teacher a guide a Comforter that shows us and trains us to understand God's word and what he is doing in our life. We should no longer live as the unbelievers, mostly because that would lead us back into ignorance.

Happiness in the Believer

The happiness and joy that is talked about in the Gospels is something that needs to be learned and understood. The only teacher of the Gospel is Christ. That is why he sent his Holy Spirit to teach us with an understanding that only the believer can truly know.

A person can put to memory the entire word of God and still not know what it is. The reason for this is simple the mind of man was not meant to understand the Spirit of God. For true understanding of the word, the Spirit of God must be dwelling in the believer to interpret and shed light on what the gospel is saying to him. That is why God word brings new light to shine in a believer’s heart from the same passages, the Holy Spirit hears from God what to speak to that believer. 

It Sounds So Easy

It is always easier to say something than it is to actually do it or for one experienced in the task he cannot understand why others have so much trouble or pass judgment 2 Corinthians 10:2-3 Paul is trying to explain that people think he is walking in the flesh and his arrogance or pride is showing it is simply that experience in a loving Christ and his word all has become less and less carnal they did not see what they could not understand. Paul told the people that the fight is not against the flesh but against spirit the flesh will wither and die and be buried and in time forgot about the great monument will be blowing to dust by the wind.

Christ said in Luke 11:28 blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. This is after calling the generation evil. It's after teaching the disciples to pray it's after casting out demons. People were excited about Christ being there is some he was nothing more than a dog at a circus they can do tricks and make the crowd laugh. Christ was also reminding the people of the prophets that their fathers killed the judgments of God Sodom and Gomorrah, Jonah and Lot. Christ was not condemning the people he did not say your judgment has come the end is near. You're going to die he said follow me and live keep the father's word love one another. How then did Christ expect us to be saved? Did he set more rules and laws or was the only law rule and deed needed for salvation for us to love him?

Romans 8:1 tells us that we are not condemned if we are in Christ and do not walk according to the flesh. If people that are in Christ have no condemnation is it their freedom to sin to do things that other people in the world do I think not for to be in Christ is to hate the things of the flesh to want to do heavenly things, and two, abhor earthly or fleshly things as Christ was on this earth a human, His love to do the father’s will was so strong He was the only one that did not do fleshly or carnal things. Without it is impossible for man not to spend it is possible to use his example has a pattern for our life to turn away from sin to not judge people but to have compassion or love or them to help them that need help. And when we sin or fall. We know that we are still in Christ and not allow our flesh to condemn ourselves for the sin far as Christ died for us, he does not need to continue to die for each sin. The condemnation comes from our flesh the devil would want it that way for the more we think of our sin, the less we think of our glory, the more damned we think we are the less salvation we claim to receive.

Back again

It has taken over two years to get this title backso let's hope to have fun learn a little bit and to study God's word
