All Christians have experienced backsliding as Simon did. Self introspection is necessary to examine our hearts where sin begins, but it is not helpful to dwell on our failures. Repent and go on to win souls!
In today's message, Jim Hines shares scriptures that encourage us to deepen our relationship with Christ by asking Him for the specific spiritual gifts we need to make us conform to His image.
Jesus is not obligated to perform tricks for us. If Jesus came and emblazoned His name across the sky, would it make a difference? The sign He has provided for all of us is the cross and the resurrection.
There is no neutral ground. Not making a decision is a "no" decision. Forgiveness is available for everything except the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit -- defiantly denying Jesus' power and persistently refusing to believe.
Parents have the primary responsibility for impressing the word of God upon their children, demonstrating a heart of love, and providing appropriate discipline.
We are naturally born into our human family but through the second birth, we are born into our spiritual family. All those who believe in the name of Jesus are family for we listen to the same Father.
The Pharisees added rules and regulations to God's law. They were incensed at the actions of the disciples, but missed the truth of the living word in their very presence.
We have received so much light and truth and we are responsible to act according to our knowledge of God's will. But that is not a heavy burden for us if we rest upon Him.
Look No Further. There is no one else coming who can save you. John the Baptist was discouraged when he did not see Jesus acting as he had expected. Jesus is a stumbling block but blessed is the man who does not fall away.
