Most Christians are dominated by their religious ‘fleshly minds’
A religious fleshly mind produces the perfect clone of a fruitful and authentic Christian life and most Christians have no idea how much they are affected by it. Religious flesh is the root common denominator responsible for sinfulness and division, and, really, all that is and has ever been wrongly approved of by those who name the name of Christ.

Who is permitted to be a Christian?
Christianity is God’s perfect solution to all that is wrong with humankind. It is free, but not cheap, and Jesus said many will presume they are right with God, but are not. This message talks about God’s standards, and conditions Jesus Himself laid down for who can be His disciple.
