The Freedom of Grace.


Religious Law-Keepers fear freedom. This is borne out by statements like this..."I wish hyper-grace was true, then I would be able to go out and commit adultery and not have to worry about going to heaven. To make such a statement shows a lack of understanding as to what the Grace Gospel really is. It shows that a relationship with God is not based on love because if the law was of none effect he would indulge in the lusts of the flesh and go on a sinning spree, His relationship with God is based on the fear of God and the fear of "hell fire."

 Religion is afraid that if law keeping isn’t enforce, people will go on a sinning-spree without the Law standards to live by. Religion is apparently ignorant of the fact that Christ lives in the believer and desires to live His life through them.

 If I am not under the Law, why shouldn’t I be an adulterer? Because Christ who lives in me isn’t a adulterer.
If I am not under the Law, why shouldn't I be a hater? Because Christ who lives in me isn't a hater.
If I’m not under the Law, why shouldn’t I be a killer? Because Christ who lives in me isn’t a killer.
If I am not under the Law, why shouldn't I be a liar? Because Christ in me isn't a liar.
If I am not under the Law, why shouldn't I rob a bank? Because Christ in me isn't a robber.

 As children in the Community of the Redeemed, we are to be led by the Spirit of Christ within. By listening to Him, He will lead us into all truth and empower us to carry out the desire of our loving God in the Community of Humanity.

 How many of us like Paul would declare; I count everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ (Philippians 3:7- 8).

 What does Grace do when it fully understood by the human heart and mind? It moves people to abandon everything in the past...all self-trust,,,self-righteousness...self-effort...self-knowledge and all self deception...all present religious positions, all religious titles, all religious denominations, all man-made religious doctrine...all religious motivation...all religious manipulation and control, and become completely surrendered to and enamored with Jesus Christ.

 Grace moves a person's heart to higher and greater desire to know Him and be faithful to Him, experience His resurrected life, and motivated to be led by His life within. Grace living is what believers were born for. It is Grace truth that sets you free to love as He loves in service to the Community of Humanity.

 Grace is a Person “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3).

 Grace reality enables you to have Christ live his life through you. And with Christ in you, He is your everything and you have God’s Everything.

 You are spiritually wealthy.

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
