    Growth Do You Value the Church?

    I agree with you. There are many bad churches and people out there that go to church. One of the things that we don't have in America that would solve some of those issues is persecution. Persecution weeds out those who aren't serious and it also binds people together. The American Church...

    Growth Do You Value the Church?

    "But if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God." 1 Timothy 3:15 Jesus died to purchase the church. His blood redeemed the soul of every member. Christ values the church highly. Do you? What is the...

    Growth Surrendering to Gods Will

    I did not like to speak in public, but I did business presentations for two years and now I really love to speak in public. Everyone says that I am good at it. I love small groups the best though. That is my favorite way to teach.

    Growth Surrendering to Gods Will

    Your life sounds like mine. We used to do prison ministry, now I do most of my teaching on the internet. I think this is where God wants me for now, but hopefully not forever. I like face-to-face much better.

    Growth Surrendering to Gods Will

    God's timing is so important. Do you still feel called to be a pastor or has desire waned? If it has it probably wasn't what the Lord wanted for you in the first place. If it still hasn't He might still want you to do that but the time isn't right yet. I have had a desire to start a...

    That's right.

    Growth The Terms of Obedience

    "And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord." 1 Samuel 15:20 Saul in this account is someone who has adjusted the terms of obedience. Saul said, "I have obeyed the voice of the Lord," even though he had spared King Agag and the best of the animals. In God's sight...

    Growth Humble Yourself in the Site of the Lord

    The Lord always has a plan. I remember when I used to be a cab driver in Phoenix. Every once in awhile these cabs would break down. They usually had more than 400,000 miles on them. It never failed that within a couple of minutes someone would come by to help me out. They still do. I think...

    Growth Humble Yourself in the Site of the Lord

    Humility is difficult for us to achieve because we have such pride. But the Lord teaches us humility and then He is where He belongs and we are where we belong.

    Growth Humble Yourself in the Site of the Lord

    Yes, but how many times we try to figure things our for ourselves and then when we let God control our situation it all works out?

    Growth Humble Yourself in the Site of the Lord

    "Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up." James 4:1 We have a large barn on our house and sometimes we see birds that fly among the rafters. They flutter back and forth in a futile effort to escape. For a long time they will fly back and forth for a long time when our...

    Growth Whatever He says, you Do!

    I doubt that. You might be as much of a rebel as I am, but I'm pretty rebellious. For me it about Jesus and the Bible, that's it. I don't care is you are the pope or Joel Osteen, if it isn't Biblical, I don't follow it.

    Growth Walking

    The toughest part for me is seeing people go down the path to destruction. Some of them know the right path but they refuse to follow it.

    Thank you for posting that. We need to remember the whole prayer.

    Growth Clothes too tight. too revealing.for church

    The idea here is are we tempting a brother or sister into sin. Maybe you don't think the wearing skin tight jeans or dresses that show cleavage is doing anything wrong, but if it tempts your brother into sinning, it is wrong. In some cultures women don't cover their breasts at all. It is just...

    I believe that Deborah believes like I do, in the God of the Bible. That is not a denomination.

    Growth Whatever He says, you Do!

    No, I absolutely would not obey them unless it was Biblical. So many denominations are screwed up and don't even follow Christ anymore. I am a Christian, a Christ follower, not a denomination follower. There is a big difference. He does talk to people, but not through a denomination, He...

    The Bible says to "Test the Spirits." 1 John 4:1. Would the Lord tell you to kill a baby or walk off a bridge? No that kind of thing isn't from the Lord. I am not in a celestial straight jacket. I am so free because I serve Him. That is life at it's most abundant not a straight jacket.

    They are a very stiffnecked people, but so is everyone. We all pay for our insolence toward God.
