  • Divine Accomplishment Versus Human Achievement - What does a Christian need to do in order to pay for his or her sins and earn salvation? Does one do some works, make a sacrifice, talk to a priest or say a certain prayer? The answer is that we do not need to do anything. Salvation is a gift from God.
  • The Mystery Of Salvation - Many people who believe in God and in the immortality of human soul want to be saved. Believers of many faiths usually try to go by the rules given to them by their religion to obtain Salvation. But are these rules right and good enough to make one be saved? As the Revelation of St.
  • Faith Empowers the Lord God - Faith is one of the Seven Spirits of God, and consequently, is part of the very nature of God Himself. It is absolutely impossible for God to operate apart from faith. Everything the Lord God endeavors to accomplish is done through faith, beginning with the initial creation of the universe, continuing with the call of Abraham, then Moses, then David, and culminating in the call and birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just imagine the Lord God at the beginning of creation. He was staring into a vast empty black void called space. Nothing existed, nor had anything ever existed;
  • Easter resources for children - Memory Cross, Inc. has created a number of great new ways to share the Gospel with kids and adults this Easter.
  • The Rite Of Water Baptisim - As Christians, one of the first rites I believe every born-again believer should observe, either at the moment of being saved in the Lord or sometime shortly thereafter, is to be baptized with water.
  • The Power of the 7 Spirits in Prayer – Life and Holiness - Simply having Faith and trusting in the Love of the Lord is NOT going to guarantee that we will receive anything other than the offer of the gift of salvation. Unless we approach the Father from a position of Life and Holiness, the Lord will only accept one request: salvation. Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
  • Understanding the 3 Levels of Salvation - Spirit, Soul & Body - "How could she act like that and still call herself a Christian?" "Is he still saved, I heard he left his wife for another woman?" You've probably heard these questions asked and maybe asked similar questions yourself at some time. It's true that people often act in ways that make you question their salvation. And what about you?
  • Faith, a Characteristic of the Lord Jesus Christ - Not only is faith a characteristic of God Himself, it is also a characteristic of Jesus Christ, which He demonstrated when He lived as a man.
  • Everyone Benefits From Christianity - In 1 Corinthians 1:17-31 Paul went on to tell us that people make two kinds of foolish demands on the Lord. "The Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom" (1 Corinthians 1:22). He is talking about the two kinds of people -- those in the family of God (the Jews), and those outside the family of God (the Gentiles). We know that there are two kinds of people in the family of God -- the saved and the lost (Romans 9:6), but there are also two kinds of people not in the family of God -- the unsavable and the not-yet-saved (Luke 2:32). The Jews required signs or miracles to confirm the mission of the Old Testament prophets who were sent to them. That's the traditional way that they certified their prophets.

  • What Must I do to Be Saved? - When one is confronted with the law of God, or the Ten Commandments, conviction of sin is the natural response. Who could claim they have never lied, envied, or disobeyed their parents? The Scriptures teach, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23 KJV) Once the heart is convicted of sin, the natural question is "What must I do to be saved?
  • Christian Salvation: Understanding the 7 Basic Attributes - The intimate fellowship Christians can enjoy with God is only possible because of some very specific principles that are activated every time a person confesses faith in Jesus Christ. These principles are called the attributes of salvation and they are: 1) Redemption - This is the literal re-purchase of a human soul from the devil, so that, instead of being under the dominion of Satan we're now under the dominion of God, paid for with the very blood of Jesus. We were once owned by God through creation, became lost to Him through rebellion but now are re-owned by Him through redemption!
  • Saved by Faith - The Lord wants to richly bless each and every person, and yet no one deserves those blessings, nor can they possibly hope to earn those blessings since the Lord requires absolute perfect obedience in thought and action, which appears to be absolutely impossible. So does this dichotomy make God a liar? Not at all!
  • Born Again - The Westminster Confession calls to a necessary element of salvation: "the inward work of the Holy Spirit" (WCF 1:5). John said that "unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). Peter said, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3).
  • Becoming Born Again: What exactly Is The Process? - There are three distinctly different levels of salvation of which becoming 'Born Again' is the first! Becoming born again means you have your spirit regenerated or recreated by the power of Almighty God. It means having your very nature changed from mere human to incorporate the divine! The following verses from the Bible help substantiate the concept of men sharing in God's divinity. "I, the Most High God, say that all of you are gods and also my own children." (Psalms 82:6) "Jesus replied: In your Scriptures doesn't God say, "You are gods"? (John 10:34). (CEV) The purpose of becoming 'Born Again' is to regain something that was lost to the Human Race in the beginning of time.
  • Age New Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 91 ) - The different stages of growth are absolutely necessary to the attainment of purity and perfection. The varying systems of religion are at bottom founded on the same ideas. Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is within you. Again he says, "Our father who art in Heaven.
  • Two Spirits - Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 3:12 that there are two spirits active in the lives of people -- the "spirit of the world" and the "spirit who is from God." The spirit of the world could also be called the natural spirit in that it does not recognize or honor God, while the spirit who is from God does. Understanding the difference between these two spirits hinges on our yielding to the reality of God and denying the temptations and deceptions of the world.
  • Only Christianity Offers A Complete Plan Of Redemption - Christianity does not leave loose ends. The plan of redemption goes full circle. God is holy and our sin separates us from Him. God’s justice demands a price to be paid, the price of death by the shedding of blood. God’s grace allows a substitute to pay the price for us. In the Old Testament times this was achieved by sacrificing animals. Not any animal, but animals that met God’s specifications, they had to be first born, male and without blemishes. God accepted the sacrifice of the animal as payment for the price of sin of men. But because an animal cannot sin (it is a-moral) this sacrifice had to be repeated again and again, every time a new sin was committed.
  • Age New Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 112 ) - Buddhism is a great religion in some respects,but to confuse Buddhism with Vedanta is without meaning; anyone may mark just the difference that exists between Christianity and the Salvation Army. There are great and good points in Buddhism,but these great points fell into hands which were not able to keep them safe. The jewels which came from philosophers fell into the hands of mobs, and the mobs took up their ideas. They had a great deal of enthusiasm, some marvelous ideas, great and humanitarian ideas, but,after all, there is something else that is necessary -- thought and intellect -- to keep everything safe. Wherever you see the most humanitarian ideas fall into the hands of the multitude,the first result,you may notice, is degradation. It is learning and intellect that keep things sure.
  • A Tale of 3 Gardens - "Uhhmmm... That looks gooood," she thinks, as she stands in the midst of the Garden. She stares at it longingly with a glazed look in her eye.
  • The Salvation Of Sobriety - Alcoholism and its effects on one family's history are integral to the story being told in my novel, Shades of Darkness, Shades of Grace. The Pierson family portrayed in the book has suffered the blight of alcoholism for at least four generations, with two of the children, Kay and Paul, forced to confront their dependency. The point of this subplot is to not only illustrate the character's flaws, but to acknowledge that the problem of chemical dependency is a far-reaching one affecting many families. But Kay and Paul's struggles are meant to give the reader hope; hope that it is possible for addicts to reclaim their lives, finding grace or salvation in sobriety.
  • At Last a Science that explains the Bible. - Announcing a radical New interpretation of the Bible that not only proves the existence of God but also reveals the Simplicity of the Gospel with Technical brilliance. This totally New Standard of Enlightened Civilization is designed to not only solve the Mystery of Spirit, but to present it in common language making it easily accessible to the masses as well.

  • Finding Legitimate Export-Import Business Opportunities - With technology more advanced than it ever has been, it has become easier to communicate, purchase from, and do business with the international market. And as global economic times grow tougher, the salvation of the business owner could just be in quality export-import opportunities. And it stands to reason: why not harness the freedom of information and the power of modern technology to reach every consumer in the world who may have a need or want that your business can provide? And why should you not use import-export relationships to get the best possible deal to establish viable competition domestically?
  • Four Reasons to Trust the Bible as YOUR Final Authority - All Christians have questions about the Bible and its role in today's life. For example, why are there so many books, programs and seminars to teach Christians what to believe about the Bible? Does the Bible really need to be interpreted by scholars before it is understood? Is the Bible sufficient in itself to teach us all we need to know about God and His will for our lives? And how do we know for sure that we can trust the Bible fully? These critical questions are answered by the Bible itself.
  • How Does the Lord Act in Relation to the 7 Spirits? - Each of the 7 Spirits of God has a definite name and exerts a particular and infinite influence on the very nature of God Himself, but how do the 7 Spirits influence the actions of the Lord God? Probably the best way to answer this question is to examine an incident in Scripture where there would be a potential discrepancy between the influences of the 7 Spirits: Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?
  • Praising God In Prayer - Lord God you are my only God Diligently I seek you My mind longs for you My mind thirsts for you as if I am in a desert without water. Lord with you I am safe as I have seen your power and your glory in Jesus Christ.
  • The Shield of Faith - Simply put, faith is believing, taking God at His word without reasoning or questioning. When I get ready to sit down in my chair at the office I don't wonder if the chair is going to support me. I sit down **anticipating** that it **will** support me. This is the attitude we must have towards God and the many wonderful promises He has given us.
  • Change Your Life By Beating Anxiety - Many who bear from panic and unease attacks have given up hope sentence any salvation. Some studies have exposed that adulthood of those who undergo from panic and disquiet attacks have given up trying to find a way to regain life without them.

If you think you might be one of those unnatural, the first important phase understand exactly what a panic harass is, and what it is not.
  • Make Money- How To Choose A Home Based Business? - With rising costs of living, employee downsizing, corporate layoffs, constantly increasing gas prices and long commutes to work, more and more people find it now necessary to find a work at home job or to start a home based business. A vast majority of these individuals turn to the internet for their work at home salvation. There is literally thousands of work at home and home based business opportunities out there on the World Wide Web but of course all that glitters is not gold. Upwards of 90% of the marketed home based businesses I would say are scams.
  • Reincarnation Is Return Of Soul Information - There are people who believe that reincarnation is the process by which a human being is reborn into the physical world after having died. They believe that the soul of the person leaves behind memories of the past life in the unconscious mind, but takes with them characteristics and personality traits into the new life. So a person doesn't only live once, but lives several lifetimes through cycles of birth and rebirth. But the truth about reincarnation can be realized by understanding the two aspects of the soul. The soul of a human being has two aspects which are the active and the passive aspect. The active aspect of the soul is the intelligence or self awareness of the person. The passive aspect of the soul is the memories, data and information of the person. After death, the active aspect of the soul transitions to the nonphysical realm.
  • California Court Approves Same Sex Marriage - Unfortunately, as time passes society seems to move farther away from the word of God. First, we outlawed prayer in the classroom. And now we are threatening to destroy our Heavenly Father’s purpose for marriage and sexual relationships. California recently became the second state to allow same sex marriage, after the California Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in its favor.
  • The Bema Seat Of Christ - The bema seat-What is it and When will it happen. The concept ot the Bema Seat comes fromthe ancient Olympics, where a judge would sit on the Bema seat at the finish line. The judges purpose was to determine what position the runners came in-first, second, and so on-and then to give out the appropriate rewards.That is the imagery behind what is known as the Bema Seat. The concept of the Bema Seat comes from the ancient Olympics, where a judge would sit on the Bema Seat at the finish line.
  • Marriage And Self Help - Love is the royal road to salvation. It doesn’t matter what race, religion or gender you are, love is available to everyone as a way of getting yourself up out of the problems in your life and finding the road to happiness. One thing that many people fail to realize, however, is that marriage does not equal love.

  • Wise Counsel In Times of Trials and Tribulations - Often, as a Pastor, I am called upon to counsel others who are experiencing trials of life. This is often a very difficult thing to do. I find that they only way that I can truly advise others is by leaning heavily on God's Word and the strength that I know to be Christ. This post is not about giving advice. It seems as though everyone has advice (good and/or bad) at the ready to solve everyone's problems and dilemmas. This post deals with a more profound area of endeavor. This post is about taking advice.
  • Is There More than One Gospel in the Bible? - Many Bible students assume that the word "gospel" refers to the same message each time it is used throughout the Bible. If that is so, why would the Bible use so many different titles for the same message? For instance: Gospel of the Kingdom (Matt 4:23 KJV) Gospel of the Grace of God (Eph 2:8-9 KJV) Everlasting Gospel (Rev. 14:6 KJV) The word "gospel" simply means "good news." While all of God's good news centers in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, not all of the gospel revelations contain the same information about him. Let's examine the first two-the gospel of the kingdom and the gospel of the grace of God-to see if they are the same message.
  • Age New Spirituality - Inspirational Stories ( Part 66 ) - What is Karma-Yoga? The knowledge of the secret of work. We see that the whole universe is working. For what?

  • Keeping Divine Order To Get Divine Results - Why haven’t we seen a great move of God in the past 20 years? Why aren’t we seeing a great harvest of souls today? Too often we do not “see” God moving because of the confusing array of “out of focus teachings” in Christendom.
  • Holy Spirit Baptism: What is it & How to Get it - Receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, sometimes called the infilling of the Holy Spirit or becoming baptized with the Holy Ghost is a vitally important part of successful Christian living. There is however, a difference between being filled and becoming filled with the Holy Ghost! The first is a continuous lifestyle and the second is a one-time event. Some people confuse the two and make a mess of this doctrine when the truth is very simple. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is based on living day-by-day in continual fellowship with Him and obedience to Him. It is, first of all, saturating your mind with the word of God, nothing draws you closer to the Holy Spirit than the entrance of God's word.
  • New Age Spirituality - Inspirational Stories ( Part 17 ) - A man must not say he is poor, or that he is wealthy -- he must not brag of his wealth. Let him keep his own counsel; this is his religious duty. This is not mere worldly wisdom; if a man does not do so, he may be held to be immoral. The householder is the basis, the prop, of the whole society. He is the principal earner. The poor, the weak, the children and the women who do not work -- all live upon the householder;
  • How Medieval Tapestries Came About - Beginning of the medieval period is generally considered as the end of Rome to Italian Renaissance (476 AD to 1450 AD). The basis of the elements of renaissance and upcoming time was grounded slowly through the sequence of extensive alterations during this period.
  • Marketing Christ - How does the purpose of marketing change the purpose of business? Here's an example. Manufacturers will substitute a less expensive ingredient for a higher quality ingredient. And the marketing department will shift attention away from the disadvantages of such a change by conjuring up some new and improved element of the manufactured product. We are all familiar with this process. The point to be made is the shift in purpose from function to finance, from performance to appearance, from essentials to periphery, from substance to style. I am not arguing against profit or against marketing or against efficiency or against financial concerns. All I am saying is that when a business shifts its primary purpose from production to marketing, the likelihood of an inferior product increases. It doesn't have to, but it usually does.
  • Chasing The Culture vs. Leading It - Many very smart Christians get caught up in trying to impress the world with their learning, abilities and/or stylishness -- scientists, scholars, theologians, musicians and artists. They are not trying to be unfaithful.
  • The Prosperous Life - “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” Proverbs 11:25 Most of us want to be successful, well off, and live the good life. Did you ever consider that the way to accomplish this might not be grabbing all you can, but by giving your way there? Did you consider that the way up the ladder of life might be going outward instead of upward? This seems foreign to us and absolutely contrary to everything we are taught in society. After all, we are taught that we if we do not look out for ourselves, who will?

  • Recycling Computers - What You Should Know - The first thing that you need to do is protect yourself and understand that just because you have deleted files, it does not mean that they are fully deleted.

  • Giving Back Without Being a Millionaire Philanthropist - There is at least one cause that most people are fanatics about. Some terrible tragedy is going on somewhere in the world that makes your heart sink. Perhaps, you're not passionate about helping people at all.
