The Grace Abusiveness of Grace-Haters.

People who respond to God's Grace Message by saying; “I wish relationship with God was based on grace because then, I can go out and commit adultery, ...rob a bank and sin all I want because my sins past, present and future are forgiven are Grace abusers.” That kind of response is revealing the fact that such a person has never met Grace...they have met a concept...they have met a ideology...they do not understand the full implication of Christ's death and resurrection. They are fully persuaded that the pre-cross gospel of works is carried over to the post-gospel of Grace because they do not understand the person who is Grace.

When a person looks into the face of Grace, when a person meets Grace, when a person sees Grace's nailed scared hands and feet and His riven side, when a person sees the fire of love in Graces eyes and experiences His relentless love...that person will embrace Grace and will not be motivated to sin, but be motivated to righteousness...Grace's righteousness.


When a person accepts and embraces Grace, Grace becomes the fuel that empowers their spiritual relationship. You don't do the do's or not do the don'ts out of duty or a means of pleasing God, you do what you do because you love a person and that person is working in you and through you for His glory.

Yes, Grace is more than a idea...not a doctrine...not a principle and definitely not a coverup for sin. Grace is a person...Grace is Jesus! For people to suggest they would flaunt sin in the name of Grace have no idea what or who Grace is and do not know the grace-giver. Grace does not need to be balanced with truth...Grace is truth...Grace is Jesus.

I would humbly suggest that the Grace-haters and their abuse of Grace would cease and desist hating Jesus and embrace Him who is Grace. In spite of your hate for Him...He still loves you and is gracious unto you.

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
