As I said,living under the law( in the flesh) causes much confusion,so much so that Paul said,I don't understand myself at all,I know I am rotten through and through so far as my old human nature is concerned.No matter which way I turn,I can't make myself do right ( Romans 7:14~25). And neither can we! Only through the Holy Spirit can we please God,Jesus began this good work in us and he will surely complete it.We strive to live right not because of fear,but because we love the… Continue

Today as long ago in the old testament ,God taught his people about different sacrifices they had to do in order to lease him,and to cleanse them for their sins.But now since Jesus has came through the virgin Mary,as God planned.He died and rose again to set us free.We must not walk in confusion,for God does not cause confusion ,but peace.Confusion comes in when others are still teaching the importance of "works"! Working for the Lord does not mean,you have to live a perfect life… Continue

Where can you find Christians wholly devoted to the Lord who have an

At one time, Moses had been held in high esteem, respected in high

government

places, great in reputation and prestige. He moved among the wealthy and

God couldn't use him until he tore him away from his worldly

attachments. Who

knew Moses now? Hidden away, out of sight—silenced and… Continue

It’s amazing the things that satan offers

us,even now satan is using old tricks.Why? Because they’ve worked for

years,since Adam & Eve satan has been calling God a liar.So when he

shows up we must recognize him for what he really is,the father of

lies. Satans tactics haven’t changed he still tempts us,by calling God a

lie,he whispers lies to us and if we are not careful,he will lead us

farther and farther away from God.Our Heavenly Father is the real… Continue
