God LOVES You. Part 1

Even though you may not know God in the intimate relational way He desires, He knows you intimately. He knows the very thoughts you think and the actions you take before you take them, and even though your thoughts and actions may be wrong...He is not upset by them. He knows all your ways... good and bad and He is still OK with you.  He even knows the number of hairs on your head. You were made in His image to reflect His likeness, though you may not be a good reflection of Him yet, He is not angry with you. You are His offspring, He knew you before you were conceived. He chose you before the creation of the universe. You were not a mistake, please get that...you as you are...is not a mistake! God determined when and where you would be born. You are beautifully and wonderfully made. He formed you in your mother's womb and brought you forth the day you were born and He LOVES you.

God your loving Father has been misrepresented, misunderstood, misdiagnosed, misquoted, misapplied, and lied about by people who claim they know Him because of religious obligations and conformance by complying to the religious do's and don'ts.. Religionists know about God in their mind knower, but fail to realize they don't KNOW the heart of God in their heart knower. He is not a distant Deity lurking in the shadows to catch you in some wrong so He can whup you with a big anger stick as punishment to beat you in line.

God is the essence of love and goodness. He doesn't love you because you obey all the ordinances of religion, or because you attend what people call “church” for a couple of hours on a Sunday. He loves you simply because you are His child and He is your loving Father. You can't do anything to make God love you any less neither can you do anything to make Him love you any more. His love for you is not based on whether you love Him or not. His love for you is entirely His doing and is unchangeable.

God sent Jesus because of His great love for you so you could, if you so desire, have a relationship with Him that would allow Him to relate to you intimately. God has dealt with the sin factor through Jesus and sin is no longer an issue with Him, your sin past, present and future is cast into the sea of His forgetfulness with a "No Fishing Sign" erected. If you will turn to Him, live in His Grace as His loved child, sin will fall from you as the rain falls from the sky and you will not have to strive to overcome sin because His GRACE gives you the power to overcome it and you will lovingly love the across your path people you meet whether they are saint or sinner.

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
