“Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession…. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer (The Cost of Discipleship)
“The great masquerade of evil has played havoc with all our ethical concepts. For evil to appear disguised as light, charity, historical necessity or social justice is quite bewildering to anyone brought up on our traditional ethical concepts, while for the Christian who bases his life on the Bible, it merely confirms the fundamental wickedness of evil.”
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Letters and Papers from Prison — 1967; 1997)
“There remains an experience of incomparable value. We have for once learned to see the great events of world history from below, from the perspective of the outcasts, the suspects, the maltreated — in short, from the perspective of those who suffer. Mere waiting and looking on is not Christian behavior. Christians are called to compassion and to action.”

“I discovered later, and I’m still discovering right up to this moment, that is it only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith. By this-worldliness I mean living unreservedly in life’s duties, problems, successes and failures. In so doing we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God, taking seriously, not our own sufferings, but those of God in the world. That, I think, is faith.”

“While we exert ourselves to grow beyond our humanity, to leave the human behind us, God becomes human; and we must recognize that God wills that we be human, real human beings.

“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” Revelation 1:3 The quickest and surest way to get blessed is to simply read God’s Word. This is so simple that most miss it. Bible reading is the key to learning the things of God (Prov. 22:17-22). Bible Study is paramount to spiritual growth (1 Pet. 2:2). Reading God’s Word etches the image of Christ upon the canvass of the heart (Lk 24:27; Jn 5:39, 46). Bible reading instills the fear of the […]

The value in Torah is that it pointed to, it prefigured the coming Messiah – Jesus Christ. It also established by God says is sin. It could not save. It is utterly inferior to the New Covenant brought by the Messiah. Read Hebrews 8-10.
TORAH KEEPING ANTICHRISTS EXPOSED! Christ’s apostle Paul warned Titus and us of many judaizer devils! Nothing has changed! Expose them!
NOTHING is more antichrist than rebels who pretend to keep the whole law or even attempt to (for righteousness) – instead of truly repenting and receiving the only One who ever perfectly kept the law and then nailed it to the cross! Jesus Christ! (Colossians 2:14-19) Galatians!
(podcasts linked below on this topic at bottom of this post)
Those still seeking to earn their own salvation via law keeping are outside of Christ’s kingdom and being called by Him to truly repent and believe upon Him – He who paid the full price for their sins on the cross (John 19:30). You are fully guilty in His holy eyes and He yet fully paid the only price that could have been paid to make you one with Him and the Father. You owe a debt you cannot pay. He paid a debt He did not owe. That’s how much Jesus loves you. Those who deny Christ by saying no to His offer and instead seeking to work for their own salvation, are doomed in sin, now and forever.
Gaebelein complains rightly:
“A judaistic Christianity which, with a profession of Grace and the Gospel, attempts to keep the law and fosters legal righteousness is a greater abomination in the eyes of God than professing Israel in the past, worshipping idols.”
Jesus came to “fulfil” the law which means to expire the law (Matthew 5:17-18)…. by perfectly keeping it, nailing it to the cross, and taking it out of the way so His new creatures can walk by the Spirit, by grace to fulfill all righteousness (Romans 8:2-4; Colossians 2:14-19).
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Why you understand the word “fulfil” to mean to expire is baffling, it is plain and clear in Greek.”
REPLY:
The law is expired “FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS” and not completely. The law reveals to us how sinful we are (Gal 3:24; Rom 5:20). The law establishes what God require (Romans 7:12) Law simply means instruction. Law does a lot more than expose sin. It arouses sin and causes sin to INCREASE. Rom 7:5; 5:20
Trying to keep the law to be right with God is a farce. “Keeping Torah” is a scam.
It’s time for you to repent and get into the LORD’s NEW Testament which replaced the old and is infinitely superior to the old (Heb 8-10). Moses, the law, cannot save you. Only Jesus can. John 1:17
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:2-4
We are saved by, espoused to, and committed to Christ, not the law (John 1:17; Romans 10:4; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Galatians 2:20-21). The law is perfect and yet makes no one righteous (Romans 3:28; 7:12; 10:4; Galatians 2:16, etc.). The law reveals just how wicked we are – in order to bring us to Christ (Romans 7; Galatians 3:24). Jesus nailed the ordinances of the law to the cross, taking it away, out of our way (Colossians 2:14-19). The New Covenant, ratified in the very blood of the Messiah, is all about Jesus, our “first love” and not law keeping (Romans 10:4; Revelation 2:4-5). Our worship is to Him. Read Romans 3:31; 8:2-4 closely. Pour over it prayerfully. Those who are born again into Christ, walking in the Spirit, will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh but rather the righteousness the law demands but never afforded the ability to perform until Christ came! (John 1:17) Christ’s New Testament disciples are full of His Holy Spirit and don’t walk around everyday trying to “keep Torah” as the Hebrew roots cult would lead one to believe. No, they love Jesus who saved them and walk in the power of His Holy Spirit, by the Word of God and fruitfully please God through the crucified life (Luke 9:23-24; John 15; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20-21). The believer, walking out the daily cross – crucified life – is raised up and divinely enabled, by God’s enabling grace, the operational power of God, to fulfill all righteousness (Romans 8:3-4; 12-14; Galatians 5:14-24).
The law makes no one righteous but only convicts and reveals just how sinful we are and how much we need Christ – not more attempted law-keeping! (Romans 3:28; 7; Galatians 2:16; 3:24)
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5
Note: Those working to earn salvation do not have saving grace – are not saved.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Anyone who gets saved and then doesn’t drill down into the doctrinal letters and epistles and get grounded in grace through faith justification and living, will be susceptible to being deceived by the antichrist judaizers in our midst. It will cost many of them their eternal souls. There will be not 1 law-keeping judaizing snake in Heaven. If you don’t know that, you are biblically illiterate. Romans. Galatians. Ephesians. Philippians. Colossians. Hebrews.
“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28
“Kept by faith”
“Who are KEPT by the power of God THROUGH FAITH unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” 1 Peter 1:5
Justified by faith but sanctified by law keeping????
NOT. “The just (those justified by God) shall live by faith.”
Born again New Testament disciples are saved by grace through faith. They are saved, justified, and sanctified by faith. They live by faith and not by law or law keeping. See Hebrews 11:6.
“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith (not law to law): as it is written, The just shall live by faith (not law keeping).” Romans 1:17
“But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live BY FAITH.” Galatians 3:11
“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back (go back to law keeping), my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38
“Cut Off”
TODAY, MAY God “cut off” every vile devil who seeks to bring God’s people back under the curse and yoke of the law, in Jesus’ name (Galatians!).
“I would they were even cut off which trouble you.” Galatians 5:12
ONLY Messiah kept the law perfectly….. no other man ever did…. only MESSIAH can save, not law…. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10
Only Jesus kept the law perfectly and then nailed it to the cross and “took it out of the way.” (Colossians 2:14-19) Law-keeping can’t save anyone. The Law simply reveals to us just how wicked we are (Romans 7). If law, law-keeping could save us, why did God send and allow His only begotten Son to be crucified for our sins? Have you ever read Galatians 2:16, 21? What about Romans 10:4? How Does God Justify a Person?
Breaking just 1 commandment makes us guilty of breaking the whole law – James 2:10.
Fake Jews?
The Holy Spirit through Paul tells us who the true and false jews are – “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Romans 2:28-29
E. F. Kevan says:
“Paul saw that circumcision for justification was not the innocent little rite that the unthinking man might assume it to be. To undergo circumcision was to seek to be justified by a legalistic method of law-keeping, and thus to deny the very foundations of grace.”
Was Christ’s sacrifice perfect? What it enough? Yes or no?
One MUST leave Christ, to depart from the only Savior, to go back to law-keeping. Such a person has denied Christ, has “fallen from grace” – is under a spirit of witchcraft, and is no longer saved (Galatians 3:3; 5:4).
The only reason people are running around claiming they are going to “keep torah” is because they do not know and have up till now rejected Christ! The Jewish Messiah has already come and is the only one ever to perfectly keep torah – then he nailed it to the cross and took it away!!!
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;” Colossians 2:14
“For there are MANY unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision (judaizers):” Titus 1:10
TORAH Turbulence Silenced with God’s Word
Recently, after times of severely, mercilessly blasting Judaizers a dear sister weighed in with the following (Galatians 2:4-5). This sister gets it!!! Anna Lisa writes:
“People who call themselves ‘Torah observant’ are actually anti-Christs (you’re right), because they are in actuality DENYING the TRUE and PERFECT work that ONLY CHRIST has fulfilled!”
Christ Has Set Us Free
In this passage below, being circumcised = being under the law, any part of it, such as keeping a sabbath day, etc. Law or grace? Each must choose between Moses (OT) and Jesus (NT). You are either under the law or under grace but not both. If you are antichrist enough to think you can be justified by your own laugh keeping, good luck dupe – because you are personally accountable to keep it all perfectly from birth thill the end of your life. And if you fail in just 1 point of the whole law, you are guilty of breaking it all before a holy God (James 2:10). Read carefully:
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing. 3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.” Galatians 5:1-4
“And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily (secretly) to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.” Galatians 2:4-5
Judaizers are those who seek to move saved people away from Christ and back under law! There is nothing in New Testament Scripture rebuked more severely than this antichrist evil. Paul didn’t give them even an hour of his time!
BEWARE OF THE CHRIST-DENYING TORAH KEEPING DEVILS:
JUST IN:
“What part of “I AM YHWH I change not” or Yeshivah sayaing “I have not come to do away with the law/torah but to fill it utterly full” or “not even the smallest part of the law/torah will pass away until it is ALL utterly brought into being” don’t you understand?”
REPLY:
WHAT part of “It is Finished” do you not understand? (John 19:30) SHOW US ALL where Jesus or His apostles ever even 1 time instructed NEW Testament saints to keep any certain day???? You are not saved. You are trusting in your own futile ability to keep the whole law perfectly and in utter need of repentance before it’s too late.
You are not good. “There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10). You have personally sinned against a holy God in many ways and are fully guilty. God isn’t concerned about how good you think you are but rather that you would honor how good he is – that He would crucify His only begotten Son for our sins! And, He calls you to repent and believe on the LORD Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins – before it’s too late. Judgment Day is on the way. Are you ready to make peace with God? Click here.

AMENNNN sister. The truth, when it owns us, inoculates us from heresies like this – which are soul damning.
Another one below…. Notice how this demonic witch below says that our salvation depends on knowing the Hebrew and Greek languages, 2 dead languages. Wow. In other words, the devil is speaking through her and saying that we really don’t have God’s Word. That He lied to us by not keeping His Word to preserve His Word to us in our own language (Psalms 12:6-7). She mentions nothing of Christ’s sacrifice which plainly proves she doesn’t know Him who paid the full price for the sins of the whole world on that cross! (John 19:30)
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“The Pesach sacrifice of Messiah is finished, your interpretation is warped and not scriptural also in revelations it speaks of those following the laws/torah of Moses and of the lamb/Messiah please read the word and study out the languages for your salvation depends on it and you will answer for the blood of those who you lead away from the truth.”
REPLY:
Please show us all WHERE O WHERE is the all-elusive Bible verse in the NEW Testament Scriptures that instructs NEWWWW Testament saints saved by grace through faith to keep any certain day? Did the Almighty somehow forget to tell us something He wanted us to know? …. No. Repent. You are a hell bound judaizer.
More ….
There are LOTS of judaizers in our midst saints. They trust their own ability to keep the whole law, all the time, perfectly. In this, they’ve rejected perfect, one-time sacrifice of Christ on the cross (John 19:30; Colossians 1:14, etc.). These are antichrists which means they put something, anything in place of Christ. They vainly believe that Jesus was not enough to save and redeem them but rather that we have to help God out by keeping the Old law.
WHY did Jesus ever bother coming if men could be justified by their own futile attempt at law keeping or trying to keep the whole law? James 2:10 anybody?
“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.” Galatians 2:21
If they don’t believe that Christ’s sacrifice was enough to redeem fully, they are not saved by grace (lost souls) but vainly believe keeping Torah (books of Moses) is going to save them. By rejecting Christ for law-keeping they have blasphemously denied Christ, the only Savior (John 1:17). PLEASE SHARE this post.
Keeping the LORD’s commandments doesn’t include law keeping or sabbath keeping to be righteous, justified. ANY person who teaches this heresy is an antichrist who has openly denied Christ’s perfect sacrifice was sufficient to completely justify His saints. Only heretical judaizers teach that NEW Testament believers, saved by GRACE, are still under the law (Romans 3:28; 10:4; Galatians 2:16). Judaizing Devils Busted!
The righteousness demanded by the law was not fulfilled under the law other than by Christ himself – who then took it away when He nailed it to the cross! (Colossians 2:14-19)
“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Romans 8:3-4
BEWARE of the judaizing snakes of the Hebrew Roots (HR) movement.
Hebrews 8-10 contrasts the infinitely inferior Old Covenant with the infinitely superior New Covenant which was ratified in the very blood of Jesus Christ, which was merely foreshadowed under the Old Testament.
ARE YOU A LAW-KEEPER/TORAH-KEEPER OR A CHRIST-KEEPER? (COLOSSIANS 2:14-19)
Some speak of sabbath, shalom, law-keeping, Torah, obedience to Moses’ law, etc. above Christ. RUN!
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4
They are still under Moses and not under Jesus.
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17
YES THE WHOLE 66 BOOK CANON OF THE BIBLE IS FOR US AND YET, IT REVEALS THAT A NEW COVENANT SUPERSEDED THE OLD ONE. THE BOOK OF HEBREWS REVEALS TO US THAT A “BETTER COVENANT” WITH “BETTER PROMISES” MADE THE OLD COVENANT OBSOLETE “FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (HEBREWS 7:22; 8:6; ROMANS 10:4). THE FAITH OF THE NEWWWW TESTAMENT SAINT, SAVED BY GRACE, IS NOT SET UPON TRYING TO KEEP THE LAW (“KEEPING TORAH”) BUT RATHER SET UPON THE ONLY ONE TO EVER KEPT THE LAW PERFECTLY – THEN HE, CHRIST, NAILED IT TO THE CROSS AND “TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY” (COLOSSIANS 2:14-19). IT’S OVER SO REPENT AND GET OVER IT, NOW! THE INFINITELY INFERIOR OLD covenant WAS A MERE SHADOW OF THE INFINITELY SUPERIOR NEW TESTAMENT THAT WAS TO COME AND HAS COME WITH CHRIST! (HEBREWS 10:1) BEWARE OF THE DEMONIC JUDAIZING DEVILS IN OUR MIDST. THEY ARE SNAKES!
THOSE WHO TOUT “KEEP TORAH” MEAN TO SAY “YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW TO BE RIGHTEOUS” AND ARE ANTICHRISTS….. THEY OPENLY DENY THE FULL SUFFICIENCY OF THE ONE, PERFECT SACRIFICE OF THE SON OF GOD WHO AS HE BLED ON CALVARY’S CRUEL CROSS CRIED “IT IS FINISHED” WHICH MEANS THAT THE PRICE FOR MANKIND’S SIN IS “PAID IN FULL” (JOHN 19:30).
RECENTLY: WHENEVER I OFTEN RECEIVE EMAILS FROM TORAH-KEEPING DEVILS, I UNLOAD ON THEM, CALLING THEM TO REPENT AND GET SAVED.
Just replied to yet another Christ-denying Torah keeper who typically blames everything outside his cultish realm of beliefs on the catholic church. Here’s today’s response:
It’s time for you to cease making excuses for your damnable unbelief. When you really repent, you will trust Christ and Christ alone. And that has nothing to do with the antichrist catholic church. You’ve been duped into blaming everything that doesn’t agree with your false beliefs on the catholic church, just like the SDA (seventh day Adventist) cult does.

What is our Highest Priority as we see Christ’s Return Nearing? [podcast]
What’s most important?
How do we want Christ to find us when He splits the eastern sky?
“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:49
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.” John 4:35-38
In light of the end time events transpiring before our eyes we are keeping our:
Eyes to Jesus (Luke 21:28; Colossians 3:1-4; Hebrews 12:1-3).
Hand to the plough of His work (Luke 9:62).
“…Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” Philippians 2:12-13
“All we can do is not look left or right but keep our eyes on Jesus. He’s coming soon! This is becoming a time when people’s hearts will fail them for fear! Luke 21:26. Because our world is definitely being shaken. Our foundation needs to be built on Christ, not sinking sand (Matthew 7:24-27). Or we will fall. Building our house means not just hearing God’s Word but obeying Him. Build your life on the Word of God! Then when these things come to pass you will not fall.” Karen Cochran
“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15
Here’s one of the responses given to this man in that conversation:
“Nothing of this offends me. Just iron sharpening iron concerning sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). ‘But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine’ (Titus 2:1). 2 Peter 1:3-4 informs us that ‘ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness’ are found in God’s Word, in His ‘exceeding great and precious promises.’ Why then do we resort to using extra biblical symbolism, especially that which is out of a known pagan, blasphemous religion? Certainly the Holy Spirit is not behind such. If we are truly in Christ’s service, we should use Christ’s Word and not something contrary to it (Colossians 3:16; 2 Timothy 3:15-17). Do we not mislead when we do such?
There is no such thing as a Christian psychologist. Such must be denounced, and will be, unless we are still walking in the flesh and not the Spirit. Jesus taught against using titles (Matthew 23:8-12). Nothing Christian about Psychology. Title Touters safeguardyoursoul.com
Paul denounced….
“For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.” Philippians 3:3-11
Salvation, ministry, is all about Jesus Christ, not us.
“That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:29-31
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Asking the LORD to strip you and build you from the ground up – HIS way and no other. Ask Him to remove every trace, every iota of flesh, of deceit, of evil (2 Corinthians 7:1).
“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10
“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.” Hosea 10:12
YOU know when you are listening to a wolf when He only speaks of God’s love for us but never about God’s command that we love Him – and if we don’t, we are going to hell. Beware. The LORD’s been 100% faithful to us and yet He requires our faithfulness to Him or hell awaits (Matthew 22:37-40). If someone’s love toward God’s people has waxed cold, it’s only because their love for the LORD first waxed cold (Matthew 24:10-14). Today is the best day to repent and return to the LORD. “And then shall many be offended, and shall […]
Stripped and Sanctified with Travis Bryan III [podcast]
“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10 “God allowed Job to be stripped. I was also thinking of Jeremiah 1:10. God uses what Satan meant to harm us for His good. Providence. Romans 8:28. As we know he did in Joseph’s life. I could be wrong but in this title is Satan getting credit for stripping us?” Karen Cochran Why Did God allow Job to Suffer, to be Tested? Job’s Suffering, Testing […]
The Lure and Peril of Titles and Taintings!
TODAY, many cross-less, self-serving wolves tout their great calling from God to be prophet, prophetess, bishop, apostle, etc. True disciples of Jesus proclaim they are undeservingly saved by the blood of Jesus and merely HIS servants. Kingdom echelon? If there is any echelon in Christ’s kingdom, perhaps this is it, right? …. “But he that is greatest among you shall be your SERVANT.” (Matthew 23:11) ALL who call themselves “apostle” or “prophet” are self-promoting. Most if not all today who claim to be prophets are frauds. Apostle and prophet are functions to serve God and OTHERS in and not for […]
Self-Appointed Title Touters
EXCUSE me WOLF, “apostle” or “prophet” are NOT titles to be used to promote yourself! Repent sinner! Title touters are completely SELF-centered and need to repent, lay down their lives, be crucified with Christ, and follow Jesus (Matthew 23:8-12). Are those who use titles not broadcasting their pride for all to see? Does Using Titles Draw Attention to Mere Men While Stealing Glory from Jesus Christ? JESUS CHRIST is the only Celebrity in Heaven. The last time a phony “celebrity” self-actualized, the LORD booted that devil! (Ezekiel 28:12-12-19; Luke 10:18) The fact that you dare call yourself an apostle or […]
Racism: Nation Rising Against Nation [radio]
Laboring in the Spirit, not the Flesh “Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.” Jude 21 It’s not about the color or your skin, it’s about what kingdom you’re in! What Should be the Response of the Body of Christ? – LOVE! Reading 1 Corinthians 13 each morning this week is a life changer. Nothing in our lives is going to work out right if we don’t prayerfully endeavor to walk in God’s love – loving God and our neighbor, above ourselves. I love pouring prayerfully […]
“Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession…. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.”
“We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.”
“If my sinfulness appears to me to be in any way smaller or less detestable in comparison with the sins of others, I am still not recognizing my sinfulness at all. … How can I possibly serve another person in unfeigned humility if I seriously regard his sinfulness as worse than my own?”
