They say hindsight is 20/20. For a Believer saved by grace, given to us by our Lord, Christ Jesus of Nazareth, our foresight should be 20/20. "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." -- 2 Corinthians 4:18 We know when all is said and done that this time, this earth we live upon, is but a blot in the face of eternity. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" -- 2 Corinthians 5:1 The question becomes for every single one who claims to profess Christ and Him crucified...will you be clothed? "For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked" -- 2 Corinthians 5:2-3 Truly this is a question to consider, in this ...

I'm currently working on a website and created a "video" to place on it. The slideshow is still a rough draft. I thought I'd post it here to see how it looks. It's very amateurish, but I would love to hear opinions on it. By the way, it's the first time I've attempted to create a "video". I'm having so much fun with it!   Authored by "In Spirit and In Truth"

The following "post" is a response to a comment left on my original post of " Pro-Choice ". I decided to publish the comment because it gave me an opportunity to expound further on the point of my original post. You can find the original comment at this post as well. -------------Start of Comment------------ Once again I thank you for commenting. Normally I wouldn’t publish a comment that may start a “debate” however, I decided to respond to your comment because I wanted to expound on my point of the existence of choice. It can very easy to get away from the “big picture” when the “pieces” of the big picture are taken out of context. It is in this light, many fall into the trap of “straining at a gnat and swallow a camel” instead Matthew 23:24 In stating that, my point in my post is a simple one. It is not about politics, morals or even a political candidate; it’s about the existence of choice as allowed by God and the consequences of it by we which we DO (physical...

I have now been the author of Confessions of an Unchurched Believer for a year, and what a year it has been! As I feel my way through the world of blogging, there is no doubt I have learned much. I have made friends as well as enemies, yet I can tell you today, right now that I have no regrets for setting up this blog. I have made more changes to my blog's left sidebar. I get frequent questions as well as criticisms about my "unchurched" status. So I have decided to dedicate a good portion of my sidebar to posts in which I have explained those questions previously. This eliminates repetitious dialogue and debates and gives anyone who feels "inspired" to comment about my commitment to live as led by the Spirit a full understanding of who, what and why I am. Consider it a FAQ if you will. I ask that anyone who does desire to comment on my status to READ FULLY the posts in my sidebar. This will avoid unnecessary assumptions about my character and my motivation in...

No... I am not pro-choice, not in the way the term has been utilized.  As a matter of fact, I'm not "pro" anything. I believe in the existence of choice as choice exists. Choice...it Does  Exist! If you believe in the infallacy of the Word then you know how it all began. The story of Adam and Eve begins in the Garden of Eden and ends with their expulsion. How easy would it have been for the Creator of the world to "make" Adam/Eve choose the right way. How easy would it have been for the Lord to have never placed the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden.God, the Father, Maker of heaven and earth decided in His wisdom that it was good to establish the freedom to choose. The choice to choose life with Him or on our own accord. Yet many Christians ignore the fundamental truth and existence to choice, but champion various "moral" causes such as abortion, homosexuality, pornography in the hopes of "purifying" society by legislat...

"A Christ follower". This phrase has been used by many to emphasize true or authentic Christian living. Living here in America, one of the richest country in the world, founded by Christians, and is largely populated by Christians of various affliations, it becomes apparent to me that "a Christ follower" is a style of life other of what Christ had meant. One of the most famous commands can be quoted (and sung) by many, is found in Matt. 16:24. "Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Today, we all know what the cross symbolizes. For many of us the cross is a precious symbol of the sacrifice Christ made for all who may believe and receive eternal life. For others the cross symbolizes something else. The cross Jesus spoke about symbolized something very different to Jesus and those He spoke to at that moment in history. In a pagan country where Jews were considered foreig...

I found a interesting article based upon a survey of what American believers really believe. Here's a portion of the article. Click on the link below to read it in it's entirety. Americans: My Faith Isn't the Only Way 8:49 AM EST June 24, 2008 (by MSN Mobile) "America remains a nation of believers, but a new survey finds most Americans don't feel their religion is the only way to eternal life - even if their faith tradition teaches otherwise.The findings, released Monday in a survey of 35,000 adults, can either be taken as a positive sign of growing religious tolerance, or disturbing evidence that Americans dismiss or don't know fundamental teachings of their own faiths. Among the more startling numbers in the survey, conducted last year by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life: 57 percent of evangelical church attendees said they believe many religions can lead to eternal  life, in conflict with traditional evangelical teaching. In all, 70 percen...
