About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANY TEACHINGS ON PREDESTINATION? THERE ARE PREACHERS AND TEACHERS OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY TEACH THAT ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE CHOSEN BY GOD FOR SALVATION AND THE REST ARE PREDESTINED TO GO TO HELL. THESE ARE FALSE TEACHINGS AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO STAY GROUNDED IN GOD'S WORD SO WE WILL KNOW THESE THINGS.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN STRESSED? I KNOW YOU HAVE, BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT HOW STRESSED JESUS' DISCIPLES MUST HAVE BEEN? THEY WATCH JESUS BEING ARRESTED, BEATEN AND CRUCIFIED. ALL OF THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS WERE ROOTED IN HIM AND THEN HE WAS DEAD AND SEEMINGLY DEFEATED. NOW DO YOU THINK THEY WERE STRESSED?
Leprosy was a hated disease and its symptoms are described in detail in Leviticus 13:1-46. This leper believed Jesus could heal him, but doubted His willingness to heal him. Jesus showed him His willingness to heal, and since He is no respecter of persons, He established a precedent for us (Rom. 2:11). This leper did not know God's will concerning healing, but this is not the case with us. The Word of God is the will of God, and it reveals that it is always God's will to heal.
Isaiah 53:5, makes it clear that when Isaiah said "with his stripes we are healed", he was speaking of the physical healing of our bodies. Jesus provided for physical healing as well as forgiveness of sins. The very word "save" (Gk.-"sozo") is translated...
The way that you can tell whether a person is genuine or not is by the fruit they produce. This fruit is speaking of lifestyle. Jesus made the point that you don't get bad fruit from a good tree, and you don't get good fruit from a bad tree. Many people say one thing, but their actions speak so loudly that you really can't hear what they are saying. If you are in doubt about whether a person is genuine or not, or whether you should receive from them and follow their teaching, look at the fruit they are producing.
In evaluating ministers and ministries, more attention should be given to the fruit that is being produced. Failure to do this could lead someone to reject and even discredit a minister who simply makes a mistake or is wrong in one area. Every minister has shortcomings, just as every other member...
WHO IS THE GREATEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED? THAT'S RIGHT, IT IS JESUS. THE WONDERFUL THING IS THAT HE IS STILL ALIVE TODAY. WHAT OTHER RELIGION CAN SAY THAT ABOUT THEIR GOD. DO YOU KNOW WHO JESUS SAYS IS THE GREATEST? HE SAYS WE ARE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN. THAT'S RIGHT, WE ARE. THAT IS WHAT HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 11:11 "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." DO YOU FEEL THAT GREAT?
What kind of parent would ever deny their children, the necessities of life? If you have children would you fail to feed them? Or provide for them? Or if they ask you for food would you give them poison instead? Of, course not. This is the point Jesus is making.
God is love (1 Jn. 4:8)! And His love for us is infinitely greater than any loving relationship here on earth. We can apply this truth about God's love for us to any command or example we find in God's Word where His standards for relationship are revealed. Be assured that He will much more than meet those standards Himself.
This gives us confidence that, in the same way we respond in love to our children and to those who...
JESUS WAS NOT JUST A MAN SENT FROM GOD, HE WAS GOD. GOD ALSO SENT HIS SON. BOTH ARE TRUE AND THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY. IN JOHN 1:1 WHEN IT SAYS "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." WELL, AS YOU KNOW JESUS IS THE "WORD". IT SAYS IN THE 14 VERSE OF JOHN 1 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us". SO THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT JESUS IS GOD. AND JOHN 3:16-17 PROVES THAT HE IS BOTH AS IT SAYS "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."
THE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THE BIBLE ARE NOT REALLY THINKING CLEARLY. I AM NOT ONLY TALKING ABOUT NON-BELIEVERS BUT ALSO BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS. I PERSONALLY AM NOT SURE THESE "BORN AGAIN" CHRISTIANS ARE REALLY BORN AGAIN. IF ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRE BY GOD, HOW COULD YOU NOT BELIEVE IN ALL OF IT. HOWEVER, THE NON-BELIEVERS I CAN UNDERSTAND. THE BIBLE EVEN SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND. JESUS' DISCIPLES ASK HIM WHY HE TAUGHT IN PARABLES AND HE SAID IN MATTHEW 13:13 "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
Prayer which meets the requirements outlined in God's Word is always answered. Many times we don't perceive the answer because it always comes in the spiritual realm first before it is manifested in the physical realm. If we waver from our confident faith, then we abort the manifestation of that answer (Jas. 1:6-7; Heb. 10:35). But God did answer. Everyone who asks receives.
In the book of Daniel chapter 9, Daniel prayed a prayer and waited a relatively short period of time to see his answer to prayer. In less than three minutes the angel Gabriel appeared and answered all of his questions.
This same man prayed another prayer in Daniel chapter 10, but this time it took three weeks before he had an angelic messenger come and answer...
