Having the mind (the nous) of Christ Romans 12:1-3 the askesis that is commonly taught in the bible. It is indeed the gospel according to Jesus. If anyone is willing... let him first deny himself... then take up his cross... and follow me... One has to be willing to deny themselves, the...

The question that the Christian should ask himself, isn't "What would Jesus do?" but, rather, "Am in a position to receive the work of God in my life?" Active participation comes from the will. To be willing one must place themselves in the position to lean on God’s understanding and not our...

God the Father has one offer to those who believe and that is eternal life. God the Son otoh is Him to Whom the rewards are His to give. Christ is that aspect of Hebrews that speaks of the belief in God as One Who rewards and to which belief is essential. The rewards are given on the day of the...

A friend suggested I write more details into this and present it as a blog but I think the minor details aren't necessary to recreate the effect it had on those present. lol I remember doing that once (preaching hell and damnation was the topic of the comment) but not on purpose and it led to...

Satan's main objective, after enticing the emotion with lust of the eye, and provoking the intellect with lust of the flesh to step outside of God's protection, is to gain the will. The belief that satan won Adam (male & female) to was that God's restriction was not an act of love and that they...

Romans 5:12 We can assume that all have sinned. But in what way are we convicted in sin? That's really the question... We're deemed righteous in Christ 1 Corinthians 1:30 The judgement is in place for satan John 16:11. Satan is the source of sin and has become father of the human race John...

Do you know that when Soloman's temple was built that not a sound was heard in the temple area? All the fitting was done elsewhere and then...
