What the devil doesn't want You to know.

So just what is a christian? Is a Christian someone who goes to church, carries their bibles with them, and at one point made a decision for Christ through baptism or some sort of other profession of faith? I have been asked the question before have you ever really seen a christian? And the answer to that question is no I can never be sure but God sees each and every heart, and He knows who are truly His and who are not. I think at this point I might be safe saying there will be many surprises in Heaven. What makes someone a christian?

I poured over the chapter in Romans chapter 10, highlighted and underlined and had myself a little bible study with the Lord last night because I wanted as Paul said, "to make my calling and election sure" and another place "that I myself might not be disqualified." My salvation is not dependent on how I feel today, how I might feel tomorrow or how I even feel right now. My salvation was a work of God, and one day I will be resurrected and glorified with Him in Heaven forever.

I do not know this because someone told me I was saved, I do not know this because I feel I'm saved, I know this because I have the Holy Spirit residing in me and he has affirmed to my heart, that I have truly repented of my sins and have made the good confession that the bible teaches we must do in order to be regenerated or born again. What the devil doe not want you to know is that you can be 100% sure that you have been twice born on your way to Heaven and there isn't a demon in hell who can take that assurance and salvation from you. If you are a christian, and God has told you you are a christian, you need to take rest in the fact that even though Satan will try his best to convince you you are worth nothing to God, God loves you and has a great future in store for you now, and for eternity.

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...
