CHRISTIAN PERFORMANCE - CAN WE REALLY IMPRESS GOD?

  CHRISTIAN PERFORMANCE - CAN WE REALLY IMPRESS GOD?   Isa 64:6   But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.    Our attempts at our own righteousness is as filthy rags or a woman's blood stained menstrual rag! That's when we have put our best foot forward. Once we realize this we see the need for Jesus Christ as only His righteousness can cut it.   There is a fallacy that has arisen among the Christian community. This is that when we are born again, or when we have come to believe in Jesus, our righteousness can now cut it. Now we can do righteous deeds and gain ascendency, become more spiritual , and somehow be in a better place to have our prayers answered by doing so-called spiritual disciplines/deeds.   This is a lie from the devil. If our righteousness did not cut it before we believed, it is not going to cut it afterwards.   So some

Our Lord’s Experience Luke 22:39-46 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye

Heaven - The Hope of Every Believer

  Heaven - The Hope of Every Believer When we look at the lives of believers from the past, one of the things that is quite clear is that tomorrow was never promised. There was never the guarantee that one would be alive the following day. Many of them lived under great persecution and thus heaven was the escape that they constantly longed for. It was a release from the torments that they faced each day. A look at Foxe's Book of Martyrs or Dave Hunt's "A Woman Rides the Beast" reveals the heavy persecution that believers endured throughout the past. The following excerpts give a brief glimpse into what was happening. Pagan Rome made sport of throwing to the lions, burning and otherwise killing thousands of Christians and not a few Jews. Yet "Christian" Rome slaughtered many times that number of both Christians and Jews. Beside those victims of the Inquisition, there were Huguenots, Albigenses, Waldenses, and other Christians who were massacred, tortu
