He Is Risen

One of the most important phrases ever to enter the ear-gate or the eye-gate of man is; "HE IS RISEN"!

Because of the resurrection, power replaces weakness, joy replaces sorrow, hope pushes past despair, courage overrides fear, love conquers hate, freedom breaks bondage, clarity replaces confusion, forgiveness eradicates condemnation, understanding replaces judgement, giving replaces greed, kindness replaces meanness, relationship replaces religion, and life conquers death, not...not...not just on resurrection day or on Sundays or event-drive-conferences but, for living life daily.

Church-goers celebrate the resurrection of Christ for what happened immediately preceding and what happened on resurrection day. This may be due to them not experiencing  the reality of resurrection life in living life. Some church-mongers have even stooped to offering valuable gimmicks to entice people to their "Easter-event-drive-meeting" to celebrate the history of the resurrection! Folks without experiencing what the resurrection means for us in the present, we fall far short of the full meaning of  His resurrection! The resurrection solidifies the hope, the redemption, the salvation, the peace and the eternity of people who are willing to put their trust in the resurrected Christ.

Living the resurrected life of the resurrected Christ is living in resurrection power of love!

The best way to convince doubters of resurrection reality is to live being the Church in resurrection power in life living and stop relegating it to Sunday-event-driven-meetings.

Resurrection power is for life living and life is not lived in buildings called churches nor controlled by people called preachers nor orchestrated by the hierarchy  of denominations, as life in the church building is!

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
