Temptations, as if sin isn't hard enough - now we have to deal with temptation.  Grow stronger in the Lord and your temptations can be weakened.   In this episode, Allen and I talk about temptation and how important it is to look to God.

Lust is our biggest temptation - and it isn't always sexual desire.  Lust is desiring something.  We continually deal with lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, lust of deception, etc.  Our flesh makes us weak.  God can make us strong.

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

“And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.”

“And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.”

We don't claim to have all the answers - and you should never ever take our word for it - DO YOUR RESEARCH !

Don't ever be ashamed to ask about things you don't understand.  Go to God in prayer, ask for answers to be revealed to you, stay in God's will and read your bible.

We aren't perfect and we don't profess to be, far from it actually - keep that in mind as you listen to our stories.  If you are spending more time picking apart our messages, your spending too much time on the wrong things.  Put your focus back on God.

Read Your Bible.  Pray.  Surround Yourself with Like-Minded Christians.  Gather with Two or More in His Name.

Know your sources, research your topics, cross reference verses and never grieve the Holy Spirit.

Did you ever play hide and seek as a child?  Or still do?  God will never hide from us, but we must diligently seek Him.  Having a relationship with God is not a passive activity.  

In this episode, Allen and I talk about seeking God for everything that He is.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

“Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”

“And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.”

Have you ever asked yourself why you are a Christian?  Or what it means to you?  Could you tell someone why?  In this episode Allen and I talk about why we are a Christian and what it means to us.

We take several turns, side roads and beaten paths before we get back on track - but that's our style.  We pray this episode is an encouragement to you or someone else.  Thanks for listening.

We are Christians because we are sinners, we deserve hell / death, we were separated from God and Jesus was the perfect sacrifice to reconcile us back to Him.  We place our faith and trust in Jesus because we are incapable of saving ourselves.  We have a responsibility to bring glory to God, to love others and to share the Gospel.

“And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.”

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭25:16‬

Allen and I talk about a recent study and devotion about The Testimony, our testimony and what a testimony is and what it should mean.

What is our testimony?

In the case of the verse above, it is the covenant between God and the people of Israel. It was written on stone tablets to be placed inside the ark. The testimony, or covenant, described the understanding between God and His people. It was the behavior between the two, an agreement of sorts. It is how the people were expected to behave and how God would respond to their behavior. It wasn’t just what was written. It was the understanding.  It is better known as the Ten Commandments.

The Testimony was so important, most of the Old Testament surrounds it. It was the Law from God.

The word testimony is also used throughout the Bible. It is used in the sense of a witnessing to verify truth claims and standards.  So much so, that two witnesses are generally required to support such testimony.

Sound similar? It should, a Christian usually uses this word to describe how they came to know Jesus Christ. Our testimony is our story of what brought us to seek salvation.

Our testimony is our covenant with God. Our behavior, our commitment and our obedience to Him. Our testimony is what our relationship with God looks like. It’s what it looks like on the outside and on the inside. It’s what others see and what we project.

People usually do a great job of pointing out the deficiencies of others.  It's much more difficult to conduct a self assessment.  Don't worry so much about what others are doing or not doing - take a look at yourself and do an honest inspection.

Are you reading enough Bible?  Are you in constant communication with other Christians?  Do you pray often?  Worship?

What we do will either influence, persuade or encourage others.  Take a look at what you are putting into and in front of yourself, because what you put yourself in front of and what you put inside of you - is what you others will see.

FACTS: We don't put down other denominations on this podcast.  We give you the Biblical truth.  We don't try to distract you with man-made doctrines, or which bible version (translation) to use.  We encourage you to read your Bible, pray for discernment and seek a relationship with God.    

We don't have to make everyone else look bad to make God look great!

God is the most important thing, period.  Not us, not man, not religion.  In this episode, Allen and I talk about Christian Creeds and the importance of staying aligned with Biblical facts and doctrine.  Make sure to check our articles and sources on the GraceWorx Community Forum - forum.graceworx.net

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

“Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.”

We should never attempt to have a conditional relationship with God.  "If" is a conditional statement that is usually followed by a choice.  Jesus says in John 14:15 - "If ye love me, keep my commandments" - to show proof that we love God - we should keep His commandments.  We can choose to keep His commandments or not.  This is free will.

However, we should never place these choices on God - we don't go to God and give him an ultimatum or a choice.  Too many times we take what we want, our demands, to God in prayer.  And many times if we feel God has failed to provide what we want - we get angry at God.

Listen to this episode as Allen and I discuss conditional relationships and how they can affect our spirituality.

Don't ever be ashamed to ask about things you don't understand.  Go to God in prayer, ask for answers to be revealed to you, stay in God's will and read your bible.

We aren't perfect and we don't profess to be, far from it actually - keep that in mind as you listen to our stories.  If you are spending more time picking apart our messages, your spending too much time on the wrong things.  Put your focus back on God.

In this episode, Allen and I discuss the slippery slope of being convinced over being convicted.  The Holy Spirit is the only one that can convict you of something, man convinces you.  You can only be indwelled with the Holy Spirit if you have given your life over to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

Nowadays it doesn't take much to be convinced of what the world wants for you.  It's dangerous, reckless and not to mention, not of God, to live for the things of the world.  Although we physical live in the world, we don't have to spiritually live for the world.

Take a listen as we discuss this topic and go all over the place as our discussion discusses the Gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples, our personal experiences and how God is working in our lives.

Don't ever be ashamed to ask about things you don't understand.  Go to God in prayer, ask for answers to be revealed to you, stay in God's will and read your bible.  

We aren't perfect and we don't profess to be, far from it actually - keep that in mind as you listen to our stories.  If you are spending more time picking apart our messages, your spending too much time on the wrong things.  Put your focus back on God.
