Does God Overlook My Sin?

God is a holy God, and for Him to overlook sin would be going against His nature and His Will, which He cannot do because He is God. Yes, there is forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ, but if you are no longer repenting of your sins, you probably have some sins which are not forgiven. Yes, when we repent to receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour, all of our sins are forgiven in the abstract, but there is still the practical aspect of walking with God in your sanctification process with out which you will not see God, (Hebrews 12:14.)

What does it mean to be sanctified after you receive salvation? Sanctification is a process in which you work with the Holy Spirit to resist sin and to live a holy life. Some churches teach that your sanctification is your salvation, but that is wrong. Yes part of going to Heaven is being holy, but unless you have the initial faith, your efforts to live for God will go unrewarded. Because the Holy Spirit lives in a saved person, the Holy Spirit will be working with that person’s soul and personality to shape them into a pure and honourable vessel.

When a saved person sins, God brings divine chastisement to that person’s body and soul, to bring that person to the point of repentance. At this point the individual chooses to repent, which of course is helped by God. We do not continue in sin (Romans 6:1-2) we persevere, “pTherefore, brothers,3 since we have confidence to enter qthe holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by rthe new and living way that he opened for us through sthe curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have ta great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts usprinkled clean vfrom an evil conscience and our bodies wwashed with pure water.”

(Hebrews 10:19-23) and (Hebrews10:19-39.) Of course we can’t do this without the help of the Holy Spirit, and we have to do our part, which is to repent. This is Mike.

Some Bible Verses on Money.

Bible verses about money. I bet you didn’t think the bible said that? Proverbs 23:5 When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. Proverbs 13:11 Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow. Psalm 62:10 Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases, don’t make it the centre of your life. Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Malachi 3:10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that

My Story.

In 1999 I suffered a mental health crisis and admitted myself into the hospital where I live, in which I was given a mental health diagnosis. I didn’t want to receive medication at the time, but unwillingly accepted it. I was in the hospital for about two months, when I asked my doctor if I could go home, and he said yes, even though he thought it would have been better if I stayed longer. I was glad to be home though, but at 25, it took some adjusting to feel truly at home. One of the problems I was having at home was it was hard for me to eat the food in the house. I was having a psychosis where I felt the food wasn’t mine, and I literally had to go out to eat, or buy bread from the supermarket and take it home to eat it. Eventually this wore off, but I don’t remember how long. I was now on ODSP and had a check come to me every month in order to have financial support. I would occasionally have a crisis, and ask my mom to drive me to the hospital, but eventually the crisis would

Why has the church lost its capacity and power?

The church has modernized itself and in the process has lost something very valuable. It has lost its capacity to be personable. The way we reach lost souls is by seeing them, by getting to know them, and by recognizing them, but people are getting lost in the church. The church has become a busy place and is also becoming a less holy place. To make disciples we have to get to know people, and technology in the church is depersonalizing souls, and depersonalizing God for them. Faith becomes a marketable commodity, whereas in the past, churches and their leaders nourished and valued personal faith. While faith is still valued, it’s becoming something that is marketable, which reminds me of the story of Jesus in the temple turning over tables (Matthew 21:12-17). The problem isn’t that the church doesn’t work or doesn’t want to share the gospel, it could be how we are doing it. The church is currently being run like a business, and each Christian metaphorically speaking has a profit val
