Gracelessness Shows a Lack of Trust in God.



“May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure” "according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure." (1 Peter 1:2)!

I wonder why so many people who claim to to experience God's Grace are content to murk around in the shallowness at the shore of the Ocean of God's Grace without ever launching out where there is the FULLEST of measure to experience.

Ought we not to rest in the abundance of God’s wonderful grace and the total sufficiency of all His spiritual resources in the greater grace (James 4:6)  of the all-sufficient, inexhaustible and boundless all-sufficient Grace that our loving God has provided for His created people?

For it is Grace that saves us, maintains us, sustains us, endures us, teaches us, empowers us, sanctifies us, justifies us, victory-fie us, and enables us to be effective as His Community of the redeemed in the community of Humanity. We are living in a environment of His ALL-SUFFICIENT-GRACE, this Grace is unlimited-less and more than sufficient for every need.

"Grace Haters"...Grace Plus-ers"..."Grace Butters"..."Grace Confusers"..."Grace Reducers" do not trust God to be able to accomplish His work by the finished work of Christ on the cross without Grace plus their efforts. They are under the illusion that if they do not do something to help God His plan for the Community of Humanity will not be accomplished. It as thought they are more capable than God!

Grace haters...voice your nasty opposition against God's Amazing Grace. Call into question people's salvation because they do not believe the way you believe. Express your animosity by quoting out-of-context Bible verses to validate you interpretation of the Bible and to shoot down any interpretation that is different than yours. Teach that God's Grace is lacking and needs your doing to accomplish God's plan for humanity. Discredit God's compassion, mercy, and love by by your  "butting" and condemning people to eternal suffering. Discredit the character of our Loving Father God that Jesus His express image reveals to us.

Intolerant, belligerent endeavors due to a literal and legalistic interpretation of the Bible and a misunderstanding of God's grace, love and justice will never diminish His Amazing Grace or the Love that Father God has for His children, even the Grace Haters.

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
