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.

It is very interesting to note that the apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith after He spoke of forgiveness. They observed all of the wonderful miracles Jesus performed and yet that never inspired them to ask for greater faith. Truly, walking in love and forgiveness with each other takes as much faith as any miracle we will ever believe for.
The basis of forgiveness is the love and mercy of God. It is only because God first loved and forgave us that we can love and forgive others. If we aren't walking in the forgiveness of God, we won't minister it to others. He forgave us before we repented or asked for forgiveness.
The scriptures admonish us to forgive as Christ has forgiven us. God offered His forgiveness towards us while we were yet sinners. Therefore, forgiveness was offered to all...
ARE YOU ASKING?
ARE YOU HEALED, PROSPERING, WORRY FREE, AT PEASE AND DO YOU HAVE ALL YOUR NEEDS AND DESIRES MET? YOUR ANSWER TO ALL OF THIS SHOULD BE YES. IF YOUR ANSWER IS NO, SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG. YOU ARE EITHER NOT BELIEVING GOD'S PROMISES OR YOU JUST DON'T KNOW ABOUT THEM. EITHER ONE IS BAD.
JUST TO HELP YOU OUT, LOOK WHAT JOHN SAYS IN 1ST JOHN 5:14-15. IF ANYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT JESUS THOUGHT IT IS JOHN. HE WAS THE SON OF ZEBEDEE, ONE OF THE APOSTLES, ONE OF JESUS' INNER CIRCLE AND "THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED". JOHN SAID "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth...
God takes the persecution of His children personally. In Acts 9:4 when Jesus appeared to Saul on the road to Damascus and spoke to him about his persecution of the saints, Jesus said, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?" Saul was not directly persecuting Jesus but he was persecuting His saints. Yet Jesus said, "Why are you persecuting me?" Judgment against those who persecute God's children will not always come in time to prevent their harm but as this warning makes very clear, God will avenge His own (Rom. 12:19).
Letting God be the one who defends us is a matter of faith. If there is no God who will bring men into account for their actions, then turning the other cheek would be the worst thing we could do. But if...

This story clearly teaches that there is life after death. It shows that there is no "soul sleep" where our souls are awaiting the resurrection of our bodies, but we go into a conscious eternity immediately. It also shows that there are only two destinations possible after death. We either go to a place of torment for the wicked or a place of blessing for the righteous. There is no "limbo" or "purgatory" and there is no second chance, illustrating the finality of our eternal destiny once we die.
Abraham's bosom is a symbolic term designating a place of comfort for the righteous dead. It was located in the heart of the earth, in the same region as hell, where the ungodly dead go. The rich man's body was in the grave and...
The jot was not only one of the smallest letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but also one of the most insignificant, being sometimes deleted at the writer's pleasure. The tittle was only a mark or a point on a line that helped distinguish one letter from another. The tittle corresponds to our period or apostrophe. The point that Jesus is making is that even the tiniest detail of the law would not pass away.
Christ fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law. The law was ordained to life, but no one could keep it. So, God Himself became flesh. He did what no sinful flesh had ever done. He kept the law thereby winning the life of God as the prize for keeping the law. This granted Him eternal life but before He could give it to us, we still had a debt that had to be paid. This is similar to...
OUR ALL POWERFUL GOD
IS GOD OMNIPOTENT? WE KNOW HE IS, BUT THE REAL QUESTION IS WHY DOES HE ALLOW ALL THE BAD THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD GAVE DOMINION OVER THE EARTH TO ADAM AND HE HAD A FREE WILL TO DO WITH IT WHAT HE WANTED TO AND WHEN HE DISOBEYED GOD, SINNED ENTERED INTO THE WORLD, BOTH IN HUMANITY AS WELL AS THE EARTH. THAT IS WHAT IT SAYS IN ROMANS 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

ALL SIN HAS BEEN FORGIVEN
I AM NOT THE MOST ELOQUENT WRITER, AS ALL OF YOU WELL KNOW, BUT I TRY. THE REASON I AM TELLING YOU THIS IS BECAUSE I OFFENDED SOMEONE WHEN I WROTE ABOUT SIN NOT SENDING YOU TO HELL. HOWEVER, I STAND ON WHAT I WROTE AND WILL TRY TO EXPLAIN IT BETTER THIS TIME THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD. SIN IS NOT A CONCERN ANY MORE. JESUS TOOK CARE OF SIN WHEN HE WENT TO THE CROSS. LOOK AT 1ST JOHN 2:1-2 WHERE IT SAYS "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the...
The Bible teaches that there are different dispensations or divinely ordered ways of God dealing with mankind throughout the ages. A dispensation is simply a period of time in which God deals with mankind in a certain way.
The Old Testament law was only a temporary dispensation and ruled from the giving of the law (Ex. 20) until the ministry of John the Baptist. When Christ came, He put an end to the law for righteousness (Rom. 10:4). Anyone who advocates the keeping of the law for the purpose of right standing with God is going back to an Old Testament system of law that has been abolished and is making the work of Christ void in his life.
The New Testament believer is under the dispensation of God's grace. We are not under...
