    An end-of-the-age report card on church history

    March 13, 2019 /

    The history of the Christian faith for the past 1900 years has been one in which those who named Christ utterly failed to keep Jesus Christ’s two highest injunctions. Since the last apostle John died around 100 AD, all sorts of deeds – good and bad – have been done in the name of Christ but this report is in light of the pure vision Jesus and the apostles expressed in the New Testament. Two Injunctions; Two Proofs of God The Lord said it was a command that His followers would be 1) known for an unearthly and truly God-like love, and 2) His will they remain united in doctrine,…

    Why God ‘commands’ His people to become spiritual – sermon audio

    March 3, 2019 /

    In 1 Corinthians 3 the apostle Paul rebuked the Christians for being “carnal” and not “spiritual.” This plus other New Testament passages indicate that becoming a spiritual Christian is thus required by God. We put the word commands in quote marks however because there is no actual command, but becoming spiritual is an effective injunction that God expects His people to know and follow through on. Jesus gave His life for His people to know the fullness of it.

    God’s Plan A for His people and what really happened – audio

    March 1, 2019 /

    This is a Bible study looking at parallels between the Old Testament Jews who did not have the Holy Spirit in their bodies and Christians who claim they do. The public face of the Christian faith – also known as church history – proves people naming Christ deviated from two of the Lord’s highest effective commands in John 13:34,35 and John 17:20-23. Jesus Christ tied the keeping of these as that which would provide the world a witness that He, the Almighty God, was surely among His people.

    The New Testament speaks in many places about God’s people being the biggest proof that God is, and that Jesus Christ had been sent. A synergy called “let your light shine” was the Lord’s command. May He bless you.

Matthew 11 - 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes. 26 Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. 27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
