    Pastoral requirements

    You are right, and the key to understanding Christ’s command to Peter was he always stated, feed MY sheep and tend to MY lambs. He never released or relinquished His position. He is the good shepherd, He is the head and it is He and the Father who saves. It is they who draw people in. It is...

    Pastoral requirements

    I can understand your disagreement, it must seem like a heavy lift and responsibility to be the Shepard 24/7 365. Hard for any man, as Mosses had that problem too. What did Jesus instruct Peter to do? Feed his lambs or Shepard them? How many people have you saved? How did you save them...

    “So we don't keep striving to obey the law, but walk in the Spirit of Christ. We don't strive to keep the law to win God's favor; He has already shown us favor so we walk in faith and love.” Yes!

    Like that old country song goes the closer you get, the further I fall!! We will stumble and slip at times. Because of our flesh. The key is realize it, get back up, and learn the lesson. Sometimes we fall to teach us something. Or to wake us up from our lethargic appetite. We should...

    Yes, which that itself is the struggle to strive to walk in the Spirit and stay awake. When we walk in the Spirit God’s perfect love flows through us and we then are able to love our God and our neighbor as instructed thereby keeping the law. But not by our power, might or wisdom but by being...

    Well said sister, mature in your faith. That is the key. How do you mature? What motivates you to do so? Because you have to, or because you want to?

    No, it is not, Jesus said what the two greatest commandments were. If you truly loved your neighbor as yourself, would you violate any of the commandments in the 10 regarding your neighbor? Likewise, if you Love God, as Jesus commands, would in you violate any of the 10 Commandments in...

    It is true! Roman’s 3-28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. By faith you are saved and not under the law. However, it is also written For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light...

    I know what you are saying, but you can sit in a church and hear the same thing. Have the same temptations. Drugs are everywhere, sin is everywhere as is temptation. I would say the person should ensure they are deep in the Lord before they face their previous weakness. However, That’s also...
