In Spirit and In Truth

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 ...

To my brothers and sisters of the faith, created by Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I wish you blessings of a joyful New Year! As I review 2007, my husband and I are in complete agreement, it was a spectacular year of trial by fire, and in no way we will celebrate the end of a tumultuous year. Instead, we celebrate the growth it brought us as His children. Indeed our faith is MUCH MORE precious than gold, as it says in 1 Peter 1:7 . The question we both discussed and entertained throughout the year was there a "mindset" or an "attitude" that we needed to acknowledge? At the year's end, it was clear to the both of us, by the Holy Spirit, that it was a simple trial of our faith. "Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy." -- 1 Pet...

Here is the final clip! Very powerful clip! It talks about various religions and mentions specific religion by name. One of the religions mentioned here is the Catholic religion. I must say I do agree with most, if not all of the content in this clip for this reason, and this alone...the Word of God. Now, those of you offended by this clip or my agreement with it. I have this to say, I do my very darnest to live by the truth of God's Word, and the truth is (you don't even have to look in the Good Book to know this) that we live in a society divided and deceived by Satan. So please, no angry comments, unless you have a point or opinion to share respectfully. (preferably supported with scripture) Here are the scriptural references: John 14:1-3 ; Matt. 28:18 ; John 14:6 ; Romans 10:8-9 ; Deuteronomy 27:15 ; 1Peter 5:7 ; Matt. 25:23 God Bless! After posting this clip I found a wonderful post called " There's Something About Mary " in reference to the Roman Catholic Ch...

The details explained in this clip regarding Christ's beatings, I would imagine to be true in spite of the fact there are no specific scriptures to support the details listed. We can only imagine the horrors that Christ has suffered prior to his death! This is a sobering clip for me! In the midst of this life how easy is it to forget what exactly has been done for us! When we are stomping our feet and shaking our fists at God for not giving us whatever we think we deserve, we lose sight, we forget the humiliation, the horrid suffering of His, that overwhelms and swallows our insignificant, selfish ambitions! My heart aches for the pain He endured for my sins! He did it for us for the joy of our fellowship. Do we dare withhold it? Something so simple for hefty price! I'm going to do something that I don't normally do...I'm not going to list any scripture for this clip. We all know that this is a true event, this event is the very reason why we call ourselves CHRIST...

I must say, I like this clip the best so far. Here are the scriptural references: Isaiah 7:14 Matthew 1 Matthew 2 John 1:1-3

Once again, I must state that I'm not too fond of the graphics in the background. The only beef I have with these clips is that there are no exact references to scripture. I have found those exact references and have listed them here for anyone to study on. You will see in the clip a reference to God dialogue with an angel to see if your name appears in the "Book of Life". I find it questionable if the Word states that, I will seek that out with prayer and guidance. I can't lend my support to this clip fully, but I do like how it defines the basics for anyone seeking basic understanding. I've tried my best to list the references in the order that they appear in the clip. Romans 3:23 Romans 3 Luke 12:15-21 Hebrews 9:26-28 Isaiah 64:6 Revelation 20:10-15 Matthew 12:36 Revelation 21 2 Peter 3:9

GRACEFUL SPEECH "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:6 If someone were to ask you about your relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God. What would you say? How would you answer? Confidently, or shyly? Knowingly, or unknowingly? What if you were asked about sin and hell? What if you were asked about the book of Revelations and it's surrounding issues? How would you fare? THE LATEST TREND I am witnessing a disturbing trend with Christianity and it's church today. Either they don't know the Bible very well, or they read the Word in part (reading passages, by itself, instead of in context of the message). And sometimes, a mixture of both. The other scenario that is prevalent; a mixture of biblical Scripture and man made theologies, in other words, "new and strange doctrines" as defined in Hebrews 13:9 ; Ephesians 4:14 . I've had many a dialogue with Ch...

Salvation is so simple, but nowadays many churches and individuals tack on conditions to salvation and place "burdens" on one's confidence and/or Faith regarding their own personal salvation. Church attendance, tithing, eating or not eating certain foods the list is long and overwhelming and in the end, hopeless. Let us remember how simple and liberating the blood-shed salvation of our Lord is: Romans 10:8-10 "But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" vs. 13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" Forget not the simplicity of salvation of the prisoner nailed alongside with Christ. "An...
