Forgiving of Sins

Forgiving of Sins Over the past several months the reading of the Bible has become more and more a part of who I am. It seems the more that is learned the more that I want to learn. I feel confident that I am not alone in this situation and probably most Christians, believers, have the same experience. While I have been living the Steps and principals of AA they have been a guiding force, however, they still fall short of understanding, practice and, above all, depth that a person…

Making A Declaration

Making A Declaration Standing on the cusp of greatness is a lonely place. Having people challenge the idea doesn’t change the reality, it simply exposes an unbelief in others. The Truth is not interested in acceptance, the Truth just is. We can claim, all we wish, that we know what’s going on, who someone is and judge what they say and do – it merely exposes an unbelief within us. Jesus stood before the elders and community members as they challenged His teachings, His presence and, most importantly, Him. These…

Through Him the World Is Not Condemned but Saved

Through Him the World Is Not Condemned but Saved A slight change in perception can change ones entire outlook on the world. We think we see things in one Light when, in fact, it is intended to be seen from a completely different angle. The deeper the dive the narrow the path, the narrower the path the deeper we allowed to dive. Reaching a point of saturation should be the goal. Why only get half wet or two-thirds? Can we be born of water and Spirit if we are only…

Darkness Gets Confused

Darkness Gets Confused WOW! Do you ever see something that you have looked at your entire life and one day you actually see it – has this ever happened to you? Shining the Light of truth in the darkness is one of the main goals of Christianity. If we are not shining the Light we are living in darkness – or as I have heard it said another way, we are either living or dying, we are not standing still. Today, I choose to live and today I ask for…

THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT WORDS FOR THE CHRISTIAN LIFE

THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT WORDS FOR THE CHRISTIAN LIFE by Nicholas Davis for Core Christianity The three most important words for the Christian life begin with a “G.” They are guilt, grace, and gratitude, and they’re words you should know. 1. Guilt The Law of God exposes our guilt, and it shows us where exactly we have broken God’s commandments (Rom. 3:20). Without hearing the Law, we will continue to go on in our lives thinking that we’re doing just fine. We will inevitably create standards (a.k.a. “laws”) by which we…

Only Two Genders: Court says transgender man who gave birth must be ‘mother’ on child’s legal documents

Only Two Genders: Court says transgender man who gave birth must be ‘mother’ on child’s legal documents by Staff writer  for Christian Today GNN Note – We get it. We are painfully aware that a handful of people wish to change the laws of physics, biology and God. Well, they are called “laws” for a reason. They are not called, “suggestions”, “thoughts” or “maybe”. Why? Those words are not concrete enough in their absolute end. It seems, with this judge ruling in favor of reality, that maybe, just maybe we…

GOD CARES ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL

GOD CARES ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL by Brian Borgman for Core Christianity When I was a new believer in the early 1980s, it seemed I was in a constant tug-of-war. I read and heard that emotions are just the caboose; the engine is fact. The coal car is faith, and the caboose is feelings. The train will run fine on fact and faith; feelings are optional. But feelings never felt optional. On the other side of the rope, emotions were a requirement. If you were “touched by God,” you would…
