the issue

After reviewing some former Christian’s blogs and looking back at my own experience I’ve come to the conclusion, as of yet, that the issue that is biggest to bear and most pressing the the modern church is this: lack of clear understanding of the true purposes of the law given to the Isrealites in the [...]

Why is it when I’m sad i feel like I’m a failure as a christian as if Christianity and happiness should go hand in hand. Because its so important to choose joy! Thats BS! According to this mixup if I cant decide to not place my so called identity in Christ and not my circumstances [...]
Gnosticism

I am not a gnostic and I dont believe Jeremiah 29:11 should be anyones “life verse” if they cannot also apply the rest of that book to their lives. It’s a great book. On gnosticism and christianity, its just horrid! I’ve seen sermons and people just swiftly go by the many many verses in the [...]
Faith without works is dead….MaCarthur explains James 2:20

“What does the Bible teach about salvation? Abraham was justified by works? Romans four, is that what it says? “Abraham was justified by what…? “Faith.” Abraham was not justified by works. Romans chapter three says, “No man is justified by works. By the deeds of the law shall…” what? “No flesh be justified,” none. There [...]

“…Now when you have Christ as the foundation and chief blessing of your salvation, then the other part follows: that you take him as your example, giving yourself in service to your neighbor just as you see that Christ has given himself for you. See, there faith and love move forward, God’s commandment is fulfilled, [...]
works righteousness?

To be a better person yes you probably can be better, but to be a better Christian? Impossible. The bible says our righteousness is like that of dirty rags. Do you need more of God? Do you need to hold on to Him? We would think. But seriously, what we need is the saving grace [...]
Forgotten Brothers

The thing that saddens me and actually moves me angry is most Christians from experience are really selfish (at least here in Los Angeles). I am definitely in that category too. We are so willing to talk the talk but when it comes down to actually helping people we leave that for a time and [...]
My view on Homosexuality

A really good discussion on Evangelicals and Homosexuality I pretty much agree with all the things said. Mostly with the last speaker on the right but there was a-lot unsaid I would have hoped would have been. So heres my two cents: 1) I’m heterosexual. I can only attest to what I know and how [...]
lost

Ezekiel 34:4-6 Sometimes we think of the lost as those who are not believers. But really they are those who fall off the radar within our community. Think about it. “The word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what [...]
