What I believe/feel about sin vs my sinful nature

The degree that I fall into sin seems to be more about what I believe and my learned behavior, than about my sinful nature. Please tell me your take on the subject? Thanks so much.

OFFENSES!

THESE LAST FEW WEEKS, THE LORD HAS BEEN STIRRING MY HEART TO SHARE AND TEACH ABOUT OFFENSES! HOW OFFENSES COME OUR WAY, AND HOW WE OFFEND OTHERS!

LUKE 17:1, THE JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, " IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT NO OFFENSES SHOULD COME, BUT WOE TO HIM THROUGH WHOM THEY DO COME! SO WE LEARNED THAT OFFENSES ARE ALWAYS GOING TO COME OUR WAY, WHETHER IT'S SOMETHING PEOPLE SAY, OR DO TO US, THAT MIGHT CAUSE US PAIN, HURT, TORMENT...

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT MANY OF THESE PEOPLE IN… Continue

The sense of temporal isolation

I want to share something that gives us hope in the dark of troubles and isolations. Circumstances droves us alone in solitude where we think that God is silent, not transcendent to care for us.

One night, I saw my grand daughter crying outside their room, I talked to her with a loving word, IA (Victoria) why?" as her tears rolled down to her face, she pointed to their closed door and cried aloud, ..Mommy! Mommy!. Then my wife took her to our room pacifying the longing and desire to… Continue

Dollars Making No-Cents/Some-Sense

From My Perspective - - -

Stimulus #1: $787 Billion. Needed – Stimulus #2 (the President hasn’t said how much it should be – just that we need more spending)! Problem – Senator Harry Reed stated we have yet to spend almost 90% of Stimulus #1. Stimulus #1 was supposed to fund “shovel-ready” infra-structure projects. This sounded logical and workable – but – it really hasn’t happened. Texas congressman Louis Gohmert (R 1st Dist.) offered a novel approach last year. He floated an… Continue

Thank God for the Little Things

Thank you, God for the little things
that often come our way -
The things we take for granted
but don't mention when we pray -
The unexpected courtesy,
the thoughtful, kindly deed -
A hand reached out to help us
in the time of sudden need -
Oh make us more aware, dear God,
of little daily graces
That come to us with "sweet suprise"
from never-dreamed-of places.

Homiletics----Do's And Don' ts Do's

Homiletics: Do's and Don'ts

DO'S

In every teaching, you should speak both as a fellow-learner/sinner and as a prophet. Somehow, you should communicate that you have much to learn and a long way to go in your own walk with God. This helps people to identify with you and is a way of communicating God's grace. But having done this, you also need to boldly proclaim God's Word and call on people (as God's mouthpiece) to respond to it. Your use of personal pronouns is important in… Continue

What a wonderfull God we serve

Yesterday a wonderfull thing happened. Through the internet I was able to contact and make peace with my step-sister Elbie Venter. (who now also became a member of our family here on the net.) We have not been in contact for more than 10 years. I came, once again, to the realisation that God REALLY knows our every desire and that He knows what we want and most importantly, what we NEED sometimes even before we ourselves know it! Slowly but surely the Lord is busy reconecting me to people that I… Continue

Friendship

An English publication offered a prize for the best definition of a friend, and among the thousands of answers received were the following:
"One who multiplies joys, divides grief, and whose honesty is inviolable."
"One who understands our silence."
"A volume of sympathy bound in cloth."
"A watch which beats true for all time and never runs down."
Here is the definition that won the prize: "A friend is the one who comes in when the whole world has gone out."

From my "Daily promises" newsletter

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not;

As Thou hast been Thou Forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided-

Great is Thy faithfulness, lord unto me!

By Thomas Obadiah Chrisholm

UK evangelicals called to unity and acceptance of diversity

British Baptist leader the Rev David Coffey, who is now President of the Baptist World Alliance, is calling on evangelical Christians in the UK to be more accepting of the diversity among them.
