    "Not by works" - false!

    I’ll type slowly so you can read it: I care about what God says. I’ve already stated that on numerous occasions.

    Amen brother. Sanctification is a process.

    I’m the tax collector in Luke 18. Sorry you have a problem with that because God doesn’t.

    "Not by works" - false!

    I try every day to be more Christ-like, and God knows this. But again I say to those who lack faith in God’s grace, (not you) it is not what we do but rather what Christ has done.

    "Not by works" - false!

    Mistake #1: I’m not bragging about any sin but rather admitting it. Mistake #2: I never said anything about taking the Lord’s Name in vain. I’m talking about four, eight and twelve letter words. Mistake #3: it doesn’t matter what you think of me; it only matters what God thinks of me, and God...

    "Not by works" - false!

    It doesn’t matter what anyone says about anyone else; it only matters what God says about us. I believe you know that. For the record, I’m a habitual sinner; I drink, cuss, have sex with my girlfriend, etc. Be that as it may, as a deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for God. I have...

    "Not by works" - false!

    Tough Part of Being Christian

    This morning I went to visit my mother who lives across the street from a bar and a religiously-based bakery. There was a garbage can in the middle of the road with beer cans and beer bottles strewn everywhere, so I picked up the garbage can and brought it over to the bar. The bakery owner, an...

    You’re comparing a leg ailment to the mind numbing cataclysmic events endured by Job? Come on man.

    Perhaps what happened to Job could happen again but I seriously doubt anyone empowered and protected by the Holy Spirit would be vulnerable to enemy attack.

    Holding on to your salvation. Giving too much thought to the enemy. We are indeed very different.
