Churches...Gospel...Religion. Part 2.

 The Community of Redeemed indwelt by Christ, results in the ability, the power and the anointing of Christ flowing through the redeemed that touches, saves, heals, and transforms people in the Community of Humanity. The Grace gospel empowers you to love and forgive people as the are. Grace will cause you to put a higher priority on pleasing God than on pleasing religion. Grace empowers the heart of every redeemed person, do not let man, even good religious men detour you from Christ working in you and through you as His gospel witness.
We cannot expect people to embrace a Savior they know nothing of because of religious  interference. As ambassadors for Christ, believers have the responsibility of living in such a way that others see Christ in all His glory because of them.  We are the only Jesus most people will ever see in this lifetime. That being the case, it is no wonder that so many non-believers want nothing to do with Christ or His Church. They know to many Christians who are not Christlike.
 The Community of the Redeemed is the visible Body of Christ on earth.  It is the only Church that the gates of hell cannot not prevail against. It is the only force that will demonstrate to the world and dead religion that Jesus is the resurrected Son of God because of the resurrection power flowing through its members meeting the needs of Community of Humanity.
If as believers we are willing to be yielded to Christ, God by His Holy Spirit will free us from religious bondage and will work through us to influence the Community of Humanity towards Him. Total dependence in and total surrender to the Holy Spirit cannot do anything but help us shake of the religious bands and produce in us a Spirit-filled life that manifests the resurrection Life of Christ flowing from our very being that will cause the devil and his demons to tremble. If you are submitted to the Holy Spirit, Christ's life within you cannot be hid. It will need no denominated billboard announcement, it will need no celebratized preacher's self-exaltation, the fruit that springs forth from your life will be the work of Christ working through you.  That kind of life will affect those you come in contact with in the Community of Humanity.  All who meet you will be compelled to see in you the faith, love and the freeing power of the grace gospel.
Are you tired of doing things for God that He never initiated instead of working with God to fulfill His plan in the Community of Humanity? Are  you weary of trying to work man-made plans in religious programs to fulfill God's purposes? Are you fed up with ministry activities that have nothing to do with the gospel or God's purpose for the Community of the Redeemed?  

If so, seek God's teacher...His Spirit...to open your understanding of the dynamic accomplishment  of the finished work of Jesus on the cross and His resurrection.

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
