How To Overcome Sin

Gamma — Tue, 25 May 2010 02:05:27 +0000

by Charles G. Finney (Edited and paraphrased by Keith Green)

"They said therefore to Him, 'What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?' Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.'" - John 6:28-29 There are multitudes of anxious Christians Continue reading

No Perishing Point

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4) "In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you Continue reading

The Spirit and The Word

Stevie B — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 10:43:40 +0000

"For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree." (1 John 5:7-8) "We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work." (John 9:4, ESV) Before proceeding in the direction I'd like to take us in our Continue reading

The Need for Apostolic Certitude

BryanP — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 04:46:40 +0000

".... he that has seen Me has seen the Father...." -John 14.9 In the October 30th selection of My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers gives us this awesome thought: Until we know Jesus, God is a mere abstraction, we cannot have faith in Him; but immediately we hear Jesus say- "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father," Continue reading

Healing for the Follower of Jesus – Why and When?

thatjoelguy — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:34:32 +0000

There are many people in the body of Christ who are asking God these two questions: "WHY? Why have I been prayed for to be healed, and yet, I'm still suffering?" "WHEN? When, Lord, will I be healed?" Perhaps some of you reading this have asked these two questions. You have requested prayer. The pastor or a Continue reading

A Unique Freedom

A friend of mine stated that his hero was Superman, because he had always wanted to fly. There is something inside the heart of a man that longs for total freedom. Flying would definitely be considered as a form of freedom. This is a unique freedom. A man can be free politically, socially, geographically, and Continue reading

Captain of the Wilderness

BryanP — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:08:59 +0000

The voices beckon from every direction, Calling, asking, tugging, pulling, Moving the soul to voluminous reflections, Blurring, clouding, jerking, lulling. All the world's claims ring out in the night, Gripping the mind, contortions and strife, Boasting in frivolity, "There is no fight," Blurting out mixed definitions of life. Gold glistens deceptively, persistently, Flattery rocks the Continue reading

Believe That You Have Received

Stevie B — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 13:18:06 +0000

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24 ESV) Every so often, I get told by individuals that they perceive me to be a "faith teacher" in a derogatory way as if studying about, living this out, and writing about it is a bad Continue reading

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty

thatjoelguy — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:21:41 +0000

There are so many in the Church who are always complaining that God does not REQUIRE them to spend hours in prayer, or that they do not feel LED to do this or that. They are content with doing only those things that they are certain God requires of them. Only the very least that they can do without feeling guilty. But Continue reading

The Hidden Manna

David E — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:44:10 +0000

The secret of fasting is denying yourself something you need to survive in this realm to partake of something you need to survive in the spiritual realm. Eating of that realm gives you the substance of that realm. Then you will be able to dish out here, what you have tasted of there. If you are able to resist eating, something that Continue reading

Because of Whose “Little Faith”?

Stevie B — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:05:36 +0000

A common reason I’ve heard that justifies not believing for miracles or divine healing, is the idea that “God wills some to be sick” or there’s some “divine purpose" behind someone’s disease or infirmity. “I prayed, and the sickness never went away, so I guess it’s God’s Continue reading

Rewarder of Our Faith

David H — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 11:42:02 +0000

God is a rewarder of those that seek him... How does God reward? How do we seek him? Is it worth it? And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Hebrews 11:6 I just Continue reading

How To Increase Your Faith For The Impossible (part 2 of 2)

Stevie B — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:00:26 +0000

I thought I’d take the time to post another “how to have faith” entry, but this time just list several Scripture verses to help remove some misunderstandings about faith and how it works and what it is believers do have exactly. This post will be technical instead of deep and profound. Continue reading

How To Increase Your Faith For The Impossible (part 1 of 2)

Stevie B — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 14:57:01 +0000

I’ve written entries before concerning how to have faith, or how to increase it. I honestly don’t think faith is a subject that can be exhausted, but all of us can use continual reminders. So allow me to present a simple and practical way to increase your faith for Continue reading

Paul’s Thorn In The Flesh, Part 3: Why Does It Matter?

Stevie B — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:28:30 +0000

This is my final post on the subject, and much could be written but just in case you're visiting the site for the first time and didn't read the first two posts, allow me a quick snapshot of what I've been saying: It is taught that Paul had this eye disease based on a few circumstantial Scripture references (revolving around 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Continue reading
