Resurrection Living Is Grace Living.

 Grace: is the power that replaces weakness, replaces our self-righteousness for the righteousness of Christ. is the joy that replaces sorrow, the hope that pushes past despair, the courage that overrides fear, the love that conquers hate, the freedom that breaks bondage, the peace that breaks anxiety, the clarity that replaces confusion, the forgiveness that eradicates condemnation, the understanding that replaces judgement, gives the stability for going through trials, the giving that replaces greed, the kindness that replaces meanness, is the love that loves the sinner, love that loves the unlovely, love that never fails, forgives what is thought to be unforgivable  is a relationship with God that replaces relationship with religion, is life that conquers death...not...not...not just on resurrection Sunday celebrations or for two hours on Sundays or event-driven-conventions but, for the living life daily.

Sunday-meeting-goers celebrate the resurrection of Christ for what happened immediately preceding and what happened on resurrection day. Is this because they are not experiencing  the reality of resurrection life in their daily living of life? Without experiencing what the resurrection means for us in the present, we fall far short of the full meaning of  what His resurrection is about! The resurrection solidifies the hope, the redemption, the salvation, the peace and the eternity of people He died for. And He is quite ABLE TO RESCUE PEOPLE HE DIED FOR!

Living the Gospel of love and grace is living the resurrected life of the resurrected Christ!

The best way to convince doubters of resurrection reality is to live resurrection life in daily living and stop relegating it just to Sunday-event-driven-meetings.

Resurrection power is for life living, and life living is not lived in denominated segregated buildings called churches for two hours on a Sunday, or controlled by people called pastors, nor orchestrated by the hierarchy  of denominations...as life in segregated denominated church buildings are!

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
