The Gospel of Repentance Ministries

As the world continues to spin problems continue to escalate. Currently we are dealing ICE raids in Southern, CA. Downtown Los Angeles has been a war zone for the past week. Protestors are angry that the President has sent it federal troops to round up illegal immigrants for deportation. This is one of many problems plaguing or world. Many no doubt are asking, "Where is God in all of this? Does He even care what is happening?" Of course He does. Although God is invisible, does not mean He is not near. As a matter of fact He told His disciples that He would be with them always. He is with us now (His Children) even when all hell is breaking loose.

We know Jesus was crucified between two thieves. Initially both thieves mocked the Lord along with the religious leaders and the crowd. But for some reason one of the thieves had a change of heart and realized he deserved to die. What did he say to Jesus?

How should we respond when we hear habitual error from the pulpit or one another? Should we just conclude it is a move of the Holy Spirit; the person has heard from the Lord, or should we challenge the person's view with scripture? Is it loving to fight for truth or is it antagonism? What does the Bible say about this matter?

In this brief episode I discuss the origins of all the world's problems to date. I also discuss the only solution for mankind's deliverance and salvation. **Originally Recorded 10.19.24**

What does the Bible means when it says God repents? Obviously if God is repenting then the matter is very serious. When man repents it means he is changing his mind regarding sin, but we know God cannot sin so what is God or divine repentance looks like?

The Bible says can two walk together if they do not agree? The obvious answer is no. Neither can a believer and a unbeliever --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegospelofrepentance/message

Christians claim they can bind and rebuke the devil and demons in prayer. Why? Because whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever one looses on earth is loosed in heaven right? Jesus mentions that phrase twice in Matthew chapters 16 and 18. This episode will explain in context what binding and loosing actually means. https://gospelofrepentance.blogspot.com/2011/07/whats-binding-and-loosing.html --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegospelofrepentance/message

Paul is discussing marriage in 1 Corinthians 7. Verse 12 he says something that on the service problematic. He appears to be giving his own opinion. Is this true?

What does this statement mean? Some believe it to mean that no one can critique the Elder Pastor or Bishop. Is this true? Are Church leaders beyond rebuke or correction because they are anointed of God? Is the phrase being used in or out of context today? Who can be anointed? Is it just Church leaders or is it all Christians? https://gospelofrepentance.blogspot.com/2024/01/touch-not-my-anointed.html https://gospelofrepentance.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-is-anointing.html --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thegospelofrepentance/message

The nature of God has been debated since the 2nd and 3rd Centuries AD. What is the Trinity? Can we prove that God is a Triune Being or are we as Christians worshipping three gods? What is Modalism?

I recently ran across a couple of YouTube videos where two preachers are claiming hell is not literal. Rather, we make our own hell based on the bad choices we make in this life. This sounds very similar to the doctrine of inclusion that Carlton Pearson taught. Its vital we examine this matter from a Biblical perspective.

Many Christians are convinced that speaking in tongues has enhanced their spiritual lives. Is what we hearing today the Biblical gift of tongues? Did tongues ceased to operate after the death of the original 12 apostles? That is an ongoing debate among evangelicals today. Is speaking in tongues evidence that one is filled with the Holy Spirit? Can you speak in tongues to war with the devil and demons in the spirit realm? These are questions that Delvin will attempt to answer in this episode along with links to past articles he has written on the subject. There are also YouTube links and links from ⁠www.gotquestions.org⁠ that discuss the matter.

In this episode, Delvin will discuss why so many people decide to turn their backs on God. Another matter that will be discussed is what type of relationship should God and man have with one another?

Pretty tall order huh? Is there a way or ways to defeat the sin in our lives as believers? Yes! The Bible provides the answer. But we have to be intentional on having victory in this most critical area. What is the prescription? What are the steps?

The answer to this question is cultural and Biblical. How should the Church interact with believers especially non-believers when they enter the house of the Lord? Should the Church treat non-believers with kid gloves so that they will enter through the doors?. What style of worship should happen? What is the correct approach?

I have discussed and written on this matter before but it bears repeating. A "minister" taught that a person does not go to hell because of their sins because they are covered by the blood of Christ, rather they go to hell due to unbelief. So, is unbelief a sin or not?

The Bible commands that we fight for Biblical truth. Why? Because there are false teachers all around us speaking lies and hypocrisy. Lies that masquerade as truth dooms people to an eternal hell. Christians do not want people to be lost. That is why we must with all vigor to point people to the truth of God's word so that they can repent of sins, believe in Jesus, be forgiven and saved.
