    Salvation in government action

    Kevin, all I'm saying is that this world is not fair, we are faced with situations at times where it seems there is no way out. Jesus Christ is the only way out, He is merciful and gracious, willing to forgive and save man from his self inflicted wounds of sin. He is the Savior today, but...

    Salvation in government action

    If you have a problem with the USA take that to the Lord, meanwhile our president will use the power he has to protect our interests no matter what the rest of the world thinks of it. Thank God we now have a president that will use the God-given power he has to stop tyranny in this world. I...

    Salvation in government action

    That's your opinion! I see a defiant leader of a country sending illegal drugs into our country. He was warned many times to stop and now he will answer to his crimes and the rest of the world will see America has a real leader. A message to the world, get in line or we will put some genuine...

    My Lord, Conan, you act as though Trump has no reason to act on the bad players in this world.

    Salvation in government action

    That would be a horrible situation to be in, murder or be killed. What they did with Christ determined where they are now.

    Salvation in government action

    If you believe God's Holy Word (the Bible) and I hope you do, all men are guilty before God, there is none righteous.

    Salvation in government action

    God made a way for all men to escape their sin. Salvation is an individual experience for all of us. In the end it's not sin that condemns a person, it's the fact that his name is not written in the Book of Life that he is sentenced to the Lake of Fire. His sins were never forgiven by Grace...

    Salvation in government action

    The divide between salvation and damnation is the Cross of Christ. All sins can be forgiven accept the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The questions is, "what did they do with Christ?" The entire world will be judged on that question.

    Bible Reading Plans

    I've always read from cover to cover, when I get to end cover I start all over again. I'm always finding something in my regular reading that I want a better understanding, so I have many short studies I undergo pulling out commentaries of various theologians to gather the better...

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    Ok, BF, your heart is closed to what we are trying to point out. The rest is in the hands of God. But I can't help but like you, you've always been thoughtful and considerate through the years. I wish you the best my friend, but I have to let go of all this. May the Lord bless you and kept...

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    Yes, and her heart was open to God, as the Scripture says of her, "14, which worshipped God." Her heart was with God and He opened her heart to Christ that she might be saved. Her worshipping God was not enough, she needed Christ and she on the spot believed.

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    @atpollard Paul said, "it is with the heart that man believes unto righteousness..." Man can hear the Gospel all the day long, but if his heart is set in his own lusts he cannot hear from the heart to be saved. The hearing of the Gospel is of none effect to him.

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    That's the difference in hearing with the ear and hearing with the heart. Those "atheists and heretics" have heard with the ears but have already made the decision they don't want Christ. They cannot hear from the heart just as the Pharisee's could not hear, they have already made that choice.

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    That's the Calvinist Handbook you're falling back on, BF. They could not hear because they were of their father Satan. They had already chosen what they would believe in their own lusts, and Christ was not what they wanted.

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    You've been shown what it means, but you yourself cannot hear. You have chosen to ignore everything we have shown you.

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    This is why they or anyone for that matter cannot hear Him, BF. They chose not t believe Him, the loved their way, the Devil's way, not God's way. John 8:43-45 "Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your...

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    Hearing has a two-fold meaning, BF. We can hear through the ears and through the heart. The Scripture says that the heart of man is desperately wicked, who can know it? The Holy Spirit can know it and He goes through the ears of man to his heart. He reveals to man his true heart and man...

    How would you like it if your whole life was written in the Bible?

    David's life was written in the Bible, along with many others. The good, the bad, and the ugly. For thousands of years generation after generation has read the life of these people. Would you like to have been one of these people?

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    It's in the message that comes from the Word of God. Remember that "faith comes from hearing the Word of God," right? Another example. When Paul and Silas were locked fast in the stocks in a Philippian jail, they were praying and singing hymns praising the Lord. The jailer no doubt had heard...

    Where Did Our Faith Come From?

    In Acts 2 Peter preached a message to the people that Jesus Christ is both Lord and Christ (the Messiah). Peter charged them, "God has made that same Jesus whom you have crucified both Lord and Christ." When they heard this "they were pricked to the heart" and asked "what shall we do?" How...
