We were on the cross with Christ.

Contrary to popular opinion, if you are a born again christian you were on the cross with Christ. Where do I begin. My Pastor in my small group says no, but what do you mean we were on the cross with Christ? I mean come on this is Christianity 101. Hey have you heard the story, there was a man named Jesus, he died for the sins of the whole world and if you repent and believe the message of the cross you will be saved from eternal separation from God in a place called hell, but what the heck do you mean that I died with him? Sorry if you didn't then you are not saved.

Not only did you crucify the Lord Jesus, but when you repent of your sins, confess Him as Lord, believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and receive Jesus as owner ruler Master (Lord and Saviour) you are born again. But you still haven't answered the question I died with him. Christianity is about death, the death of the Saviour, and your death. You must die to be born again, that's what the term means. You were alive, apart from the forgiveness that God offers through his son, Jesus who is Lord, and upon the confession that you are separated from God, salvation is useless unless you repent and believe.

I'm am sorry but Christianity rises and falls if Jesus didn't take your sins to the cross and you were not raised from spiritual death that's what gives you new life. If you have not died with Christ you are not saved and you will spend eternity separated from ..in hell.

If you are not a believer make the good profession of faith, just don't repent, believe the gospel. Jesus died for your sins to give you new life. Receive the free gift of salvation by trusting Jesus today as your Lord and Saviour. Become born again. in Jesus name amen.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Biblical Meaning of “Life in the Spirit.”

“Life in the Spirit” is an example that the Apostle Paul gives in the book of Romans starting in chapter 5 and going through to chapter 8. He begins by telling us we are justified by faith (5:1), and have gained access by faith into the grace of God (5:2). We have been delivered from God’s wrath (5:9) and we have been reconciled to God through the death of His Son (5:10). He goes on to explain that through Adam all die (5:12), and that the free Gift of God brings justification and righteousness to the believing sinner (5:15-17). Through our conversion we are baptized into Christ and into his death, which frees us from the law and makes us dead to sin (6:2-4). He explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, we are given new life in Christ (6:4). Our old unregenerate self was crucified with Christ so that our body of sin might be done away with (6:5-6). Because we have died to sin, we now submit ourselves to God being that we are now under grace, not the law (6:8-1...
