You sinned and you suck?! Sweet, me too! You're not the only one who thinks their life is a wreck! Jesus is the ultimate healer!
Jesus Christ made you worthy of His Kingdom when He died for you! That's the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Enjoy your walk with Jesus, and don't follow blind leaders who heap loads of self righteous "work" on your back!
Why do we make things so difficult about following Jesus. He came here to make the path easy for us. Remember the whole my "yoke is easy and my burden is light?"
In a world of dream busters and joy leeches, stand firm and be the optimist!
As Christians we've made an agreement to not judge people no matter what. Don't allow your love to grow weary. Don't make decisions on the surface without digging in to find out who people are and why they're like the way they are. Don't have a lazy love.
Are you frustrated with where you're at in life right now? It's all good, God has you right where he wants you. Success is still before you, just get your mind set and be ready for what God has. Learn now to prepare you for later. Complaining hasn't prepared anyone...ever!
Following Jesus Christ makes you strong. Stronger than you were before you knew Christ. In His name, we don't fear anything. We're not timid about anything. Are you living this way?
Too often, many Christians are accidentally playing the role of the Holy Spirit. We can't convert people, that's the Holy Spirit job. But we can provide fertile soil (LOVE) for the Holy Spirit to work!
Beware of who you're taking advice from in regards to the Holy Spirit people. Education, theology, experience, that doesn't mean anything to God. Love, grace, mercy, forgiveness are the roots of the Gospel & the roots of Jesus Christ. Think for yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you. There are too many people that are allowing blind leaders to direct them in the church today.
Jesus died for your sins, so why are you tripping every time you fall back into sin? Not only did Jesus die for your sins, but He died to make you a fighter. Don't lay down, pout and moan you can't stop sinning. Just get back up from that sin and fight it again! God is using your sin to make you stronger! #Fight
Stop with the show of Christianity and start displaying your walk by your actions. Our society can spot a phony from a mile away. Be real, be a servant!
Sitting around complaining about what's wrong with our society won't change a thing. Nehemiah stepped up when his country needed him, and God was right there with him.
Matthew 5:43-48 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
As followers of Christ, we have to follow Jesus' lead. Jesus loved people of all cultures, race, no matter their backgrounds or religious belief. This is our mission.
The Church of Christ needs to forgive itself and move forward in a direction of love and grace, the true gospel message. Forget about the unimportant details of the religion, and seek the true relationship!
Satan, the world, your personal enemies cannot corrupt the love of Jesus Christ. That's why Jesus instructed us to love. Follow His instruction, just don't go thru the show of it.
Refocusing on what defines us as Christians. In this episode we will look at what it is that separates us from the rest of the world. The answer is very simple, reflecting, charging, showing the revolutionary love that Jesus Christ has shown the world.
Followers of Christ are to pick up where Jesus left off. Let's cruise through the gospels and get back to the roots of what Jesus left us. This is how we grow the Kingdom!
Our job as followers of Christ is to not gain as much knowledge as we can possibly hold about Jesus and scripture. Our job is to be the light, to extend and grow the Kingdom of God. It's not about you or me anymore.
Mainstream Christianity and the rise of atheism.
God's plans for your peace, prosperity and happiness will take you through some tough times. It's how you deal with those times of difficulty that will determine your prize. No easy button on this walk!
A well harnessed form of aggression will help us to battle our negative desires and stay close to Jesus Christ. It's time for men who follow Christ to discover the aggression needed to produce positive output.
Don't conform to the worlds ways of not loving everybody and giving grace to everybody. Love like Jesus and be persecuted like Jesus...from the self righteous religious of the day. Stand up for Love.
As followers of Christ, we can get beat down, busted and even believe we are unworthy of Jesus Christ. This is not true according to Jesus! According to Jesus...we win!!
Jesus has done all the hard work and has paved the road for our salvation, why do people have to make the process for salvation so difficult. No need to water the gospel down, finding eternal life is easy enough!
You live for God so be proud of it. Walk confidently, talk boldly and attack this life. Jesus has given us victory, we live on the offensive, not the defensive. Hail Jesus!
Comparing yourself to men in the Bible that God used, where do you stack up? Do you have the fight of a Joshua? Do you have the aggression of a Samson? Do you have the grit of Peter? If you don't, then stop believing the lies and move forward.
Truth in the Gospel has been missed, perverted and readjusted to meet peoples needs for covering their own sin. It has to stop. Preach the only truth, love! Eph 6:14
1 Corinthians 6:13-14 contain some pretty words that can direct our lives. We'll break the verse down in a realistic way.
Have you ever thought "I know Jesus is my savior, but sometimes I feel like my soul doesn't know Him." I have...a lot.
There are too many pessimists and people to bring others down. We who follow Christ have to be the light, the encouraging factor in our world today. Grace and love pave this road for us.
Performing on pit road, there are many distractions all around you that can get you off game and and cause you to lose focus. The best pit crews stay focused on the job of pitting the car and ignoring the potential distractions. Same can be said with life. Shake off the distractions the enemy uses on you to separate you from Jesus!
Men have become excuse makers and little puppets to what society says is the way. This podcast hopes to stop the hypnotization and create a man who finds the truth for himself, no matter "how bad" he thinks he is.
Love is our key, Love is our way to handle this world. We've been led down a lost path by satan when we believe anything but love is a remedy to a situation. Get you focus back on love and off others sins.
Don't lose focus on the power of God and stop thinking yourself out of being faithful. Godly thinking is far more rewarding than logical thinking.
If I'm not 100% committed to a pit stop, I won't perform to my best ability. The same can be said for being a disciple if Jesus. You must be committed!!
Christianity is not an "easy" lifestyle. On the contrary, it's full of sacrifices and battles against your flesh. If you're not getting blessings from God, maybe it's because you haven't picked up your cross yet! Matt. 16:24
