    Is This A Christian Or Not A Christian

    I am not judging but most people who say they are Christian and I am sure they feel they are but I feel they are still in the flesh. I will give an example. Yesterday there was a televangelist having an interview and was asked a question about a situation where a person was killed on purpose...

    We Have Only To Open Our Hearts, There is no place in existence where God isn't. All we need to do is say is: here I am Lord, What do you want of me and then surrender to Him. Not all, but many of our problems and difficulties come from a lack of prayer and meditation. A loss of focus on our...

    Christ Has Set Us Free ( Gal.6 )

    We Are No Longer Burdened By Slavery, So we wonder what that burden was; it was the chains of the old law. We are no longer shackled by that yoke. The old law led to death and so to be tethered to the old law is putting a burden on us that was removed by Christ crucified. Scripture says...

    Do Not Use Freedom To Indulge In The Flesh, Paul is attempting to encourage the new followers that just because God forgives sin and we are reconciled with Him, that we can sin all we want and still live in the flesh. That is not the way of course and while it is true of course that God does...
