1 John 3:12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. Ouch! What do we do with that? Remember we need to use our “mind of Christ.” God is love.…
“So Lance I read your last post and I think you missed this scripture: 1 John 3:4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.” Ok, not a real question from a reader but I thought it might come up eventually so here we go!! We have to see God…
Jesus didn’t die to pay for our sin, He came to take it away. Sin is a product of a fallen nature and a fallen world. It is like a disease that needs a cure. It isn’t something that is forgiven day after day with confession after confession. That is just another bondage to another…
What does Jesus evangelism look like? The corporate “formula” for Jesus was to preach about the Kingdom of Heaven (liberation from the Kingdom of the devil, death, law and sin). What was the “formula” for Jesus to the individual? Want to take a look? Please read with caution it may stretch your understanding. In most western…
Jesus didn’t die to save us FROM God. Just let that sink in for a second. Maybe read it again. Go ahead, it is OK to read it again. Do you know that the teaching of the western “church” since about 1000 AD and institutionalized in the reformation is that Jesus died to save us…
Gal 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will…
If you are just joining us I encourage you to take a look a the last three posts. In “You Will Surely Die” I discussed how we “died” in the garden to the understanding of the goodness of God. Joseph Prince says we were clothed with His glory and when we ate the wrong fruit…
I was listening to a David Hogan message this morning. I am always astonished by the humility of this man. He may sound abrasive and speak with divine confidence but he is like a little kid when it comes to the power, mercy and Grace of God. He was telling a story about a teenage…
Deu 29:2 And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: “You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, 3 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 But to…
When I was 14 I spent most of my summer with my Grandparents. I really loved my Grandparents. They were so awesome. We spent time together. We did stuff like go fishing and watch old Alfred Hitchcock shows. My Grandfather was a preacher. He may have had some religious doctrine that I wouldn’t agree with…
