| The subject of our dispute
Relationships with people are just as important as our relationship with God. They affect one another. We cannot be spiritual superheroes and mean bitter people. We cannot profess love for God and yet refuse to forgive others. We cannot seek to promote ourselves in the kingdom of God when He is the king of the kingdom.

| Spiritual Eviction
Regardless of the opinions of people we must stand with the truth of scripture. The devil is real, he wants to destroy as many lives as he can, but he is a defeated foe. (John 10:10)[Supernatural] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| The basis of relationship
You have to relate and be in relationship with people in order to fulfill God’s plan and will for your life. The success of your relationships will determine the success of your life. How you treat people and relate to people is a clear revelation of your character and faith. [Relationships] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| Settled
Faith is for those things that deal with eternity and faith is for those things that deal with today. If we cannot settle our faith for the things that take place today, the things that challenge our faith; that tempt and try us than we cannot settle our faith for heaven. He is the great I AM not the great I WILL BE. He is the God of the eternal present tense.[Christianity] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| Have you been called?
The call of God will be manifested in your life as you obey Him. Your study of the Word, your prayer life, your service to others and your willingness to surrender more of your life to Him will determine how quickly His will, plan and purpose develop in your life.[Christianity] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| Grace and Truth
The gospel of God’s grace is forgiving and empowering gospel. We are not merely forgiven so that we can avoid eternal punishment in hell. We are forgiven and empowered by the Spirit of God so that we may spend eternity with God in heaven and lead lives that are pleasing to Him here on the earth.[Christianity] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| Mosque at Ground Zero
People have a right to believe and worship as they choose to and we have a right and a duty to share Christ with them. We must not surrender our will to bring the Gospel to every living soul. We must wholly disregard national political correctness so that those who Christ died to redeem will have the opportunity to be born again.[Current Events] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| Two "Power" Words
We are not humans following a religion in hopes of pleasing and absentee god. We are sinners who have been born again by the Spirit of God who have become the temple or house of God. Christianity is supernatural. Many preachers have said that our faith “began in a virgin womb and was birthed in an empty tomb.”[Christianity] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| Demonstration of love
We are not here to hold the fort and to merely maintain the standards of godly living among the body. We are here to bring God’s truth into places where it is currently unwelcome. We are here to bring the light of Jesus to the world even if they are currently happy with living in the dark.[Evangelism] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| He wants us to know
New Testament Christianity is not just a future promise of Heaven but a present real relationship with Almighty God.[Christianity] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
| It is written vs. I have experienced
As a Christian we cannot build a movement or theology based on experiences we have or have not had. We must build our lives upon the Bible. We serve a Living God who is active and moving in the earth. Do not trade the truth of the Bible for spiritual manifestation. We do not have to choose between the two. The power of Christianity is the Word made flesh. God’s Word (Jesus) comes alive in us[Holy Spirit ] [michael5812] [comments] [share] [flag] |
