Are you in the Sphere of Grace or the Sphere of the Law? Here is the Sign: Where is your Faith? Christians have three parts in our lives: Prayer Life, Study Life, & Church Attendance. If you miss one of these points do you feel like you have commended a sin, or that you have to double up on that point the next time? You are in the Sphere of Law. These three points of our lives are very important but they merit nothing in the Eyes of God. We are justified by our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit imputes righteousness by the shed Blood of Christ on Calvary’s Cross. At the base of the Cross the Lord Jesus brings His Righteousness and we bring our sins. The Spirit of God puts our sins in the Grave and puts Jesus’ Righteousness on us. As long as we stay with our Faith ‘in Christ‘, we are in the Sphere of Grace and this is the only place where the Holy Spirit has latitude to move in us to make us like Christ. If the Law could have made us like Christ, then why did Jesus have to die on the Cross?
If you know me then you know one simple fact about me. Ambe don’t eat scrambled eggs. It’s not for any real reason other than scrambled eggs look funny, taste strange, and I don’t think they there are cooked thoroughly. This fact was discovered by my father when I was about five or six.
He fixed breakfast; scrambled eggs, grits, and bacon. He served it to me and went to get my little brother ready for the day. He was about a year old. When he came to check on me and see if I was finished he discovered that I had ate everything but the eggs.
“Ambe eat your eggs so we can leave.”
“I don’t like scrambled eggs, they look funny.”
“Ambe, I’m not playing with you, we don’t have all day for this. Eat them eggs or I’m gonna whip you.’
This was the first power struggle, and I won. Read More
Exodus 20: 20, “Moses said to the people, “Do not not be afraid; for has come in order to test you, and in that the fear of Him may remain on with you, so that you may not sin.” (NASB)
Some people have taken the verse out of context to show that the Law makes us not sin. But if you read if in the context of the whole 26 verses like the Holy Spirit meant you will that the Legalistic avenue is not in the neighborhood. Read More
Stop trying to find reasons to get others to fall into legalism.
Look at all the people that are waiting to be ministered to.
Listen for the Word from the Lord to tell you what to say to their hurting heart.
I have gone to many social network sites and read a few post and blogs about ‘What Christmas Ain’t’ and ‘How We Christians Need to Stop Celebrating Christmas’ because blah blah blah blah blah blah.
How about if we do something radical and just out there this year? Read More
One of the things that I realized about being a father for the past three years. Another way to start is God has shown how I am as a Christian, babe in Christ. I am at time s a whiny, trifling, ungrateful child. Read More
