There is some 'salt' for us all. If the salt has lost its savior, where with shall it be salted? Speaking the truth in HIM, sometimes will offend some. If you are offended; it is because you aren't in right standing with GOD in the first place. YES! YES! YES! We the "CHILDREN OF GOD" should be representing the KING in which we serve, not ducking to the other side of the street like the high priest did when he saw one half beaten to death and bloody needing help. Thank GOD for the samaritans. They are the ones the christians call sinners and scoff at. They are the ones that offer their dirty hand to help you up, while the christians spit on them. I am fed up with HYPOCRISY in the churches, it didn't just start, it has always been. God Bless us all

Who is a Christian? Those that show up on Sunday morn and hold down the pue? and after church, goes to Wal Mart and passes the guy on by that is holding up a sign, "NEED FOOD". Or, are they christians that pass you by while you are walking to church on Sunday morn carry a BIBLE? and she goes to the same church you do and wants to teach me something in Sunday school? Oh, are they christians that know you live without electric and haven't even offered you as much as a candle? Visually, one knows Sunday afternoon they just come from church because they are in suits and dresses going about their worldly business. They aren't speaking GOD's word. They left HIM at the church on the pue. Where are the Christians??? I sure haven't seen any, including myself, but GOD has changed me. What say ye? "Bare ye one anothers burdens" thank GOD for the samaritans!!! God Bless

This post is an attempt to wake up those who are sleeping. Are you awake? I am fed up with congregations being lied too. Preachers carrying out their fathers traditions. Preacher says, "The church was under great persecution in those days." FACT, the church was the one doing the persecuting. They killed the prophets GOD sent to them before HE sent Jesus, then they killed HIM too. Preacher says, "This is the kingdom of God!" talking about the building. No ye not that the kingdom of God is within you. Preacher says, "The kingdom of God cometh with observation!" Scripture says, "The kingdom of God cometh without observation." God bless you and your scoffing I don't praise God because you do it; I praise God because my name is written down in the Book of Life.

I have learned I don't understand multiquote yet.

I agree with you, Jesus plainly tells the believers that it was the Holy Spirit He would be sending that would lead the church, to me this is the most overlooked biblical truth, since so much of who the Holy Spirit is and what He does is not accepted in many churches which leaves them led by men and not by the Spirit I agree with you, Jesus plainly tells the believers that it was the Holy Spirit He would be sending that would lead the church, to me this is the most overlooked biblical truth, since so much of who the Holy Spirit is and what He does is not accepted in many churches which leaves them led by men and not by the Spirit I certainly would agree and since I am a born again spirit filled tongue speaking Christian, if you disagree with me, you must not have the Spirit....

It is ONE Christ, ONE Body, one Faith. Christ is the Head of that Body which is enlived by the Holy Spirit in which He dwells. He has been doing that for 2000 years now as He promised.

As to their being one church, I believe that is true, but the members of that church are scattered among many denominations, independent churches, and some who are not part of any organized church.

God test; he does not temp. Satan is the tempter. Yes, satan bows before the King of kings. He also has a job to do for God. Job was tempted greatly by the deciever, however, Job would not curse God. God told the devil he could do anything but he was not allowed to take his life. Job was true to God regardless of what happen, Job stayed true and loyal to GOD. God Bless

Dreams, according to scripture, has also been called 'night visions'. Dreams are an awaking in the subconscience; sometimes things which will come to pass, and sometimes as a warning of something that may be coming your way soon. Some dreams are sweet revelations and God will reveal it to you when you ask him. Tempations that come in dreams; rebuke them and start praying. You may come face to face in the near future with the seducer. God never leads us into battle blindfolded. God Bless

I believe they are the souls that wait under the alter. Revelations ch. 6:9 And when he had opened the fitth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: v10:And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? v11: And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. God Bless

Scripture says, "All things are of God."

Who was doing the persecuting and why?

I believe it is happening in every church around the globe, esp. if they haven't been banned. Those that go to church are not any different than those OF this world. They just show up on Sunday, then go right back to their worldly lives of gadgets, shopping, eating, gossiping, vain imaginations, basicly everything that those that don't show up on Sunday are doing. And we wonder why GOD isn't in the church? God Bless

cold christian; .......new born babe, no understanding yet, but seeking luke warm christian; .......saved, perhaps bound by the law, knows the Word, but doesn't do it hot christian; .......blood bought, Holy Ghost taught, redeemed, justified, sactified, sealed, been made free God bless

If thine eye (the heart) be single, thy whole body is filled with light. One person with a single eye (heart) being sold out to GOD, doesn't fix the entire body, the body being made up of many believers. What can you do, to be a light to them, that they see something in you and want to have it to? You have to be willing to suffer for HIS names sake, because you will. However, you will grow in an abundance of faith and Spirit. Are you willing to allow the Spirit to work through you? GOD is in control. There will be many that will not like what comes forth from you. Are you willing to pick up your cross and follow JESUS? They will judge you, condemn you, persecute you. GOD is able to make you stand. PRAY about it, asking GOD to use you, and then hang on because GOD will not be put in a little box. Why no unity? ummm, too many carnal, fleshly, mortal christians in the house?

Yes, he knows that I long to come home. But, I carry HIS kingdom within me, so I am there in Spirit already. Yes, I still have this 'earth suit' attached to me. I know what it consist of and it disgust me, always warring against the Spirit in me, but I have been given Power over this 'earth suit'. It is better for you that I stay. God Bless

Someone who is said to be a "cold" christian is teachable, but perfers not to know anymore. They believe in God, they have confessed HIM as Lord and Savior of their life, repenting while confessing and that is enough for them. We can only be held accountable for what we know. Someone who is said to be a "lukewarm" christian is perfect all ready. They don't have any issues. It is everyone else that is "wrong". They are self righteous, high minded, double minded (two faced), decietful, backbiting, gossips, hateful, and will not except anyone that will not be [converted] to their way of doing things. They are teachable, however, the one, sent in to them, will suffer judgments, being condemned by them, persecution, and will most likely be thrown out and asked to never come back. Someone who is said to be a "hot" christian is on fire for God. They have no respector of persons. They regardest no man. Each is veiwed as the spirit in which one carries. Either you have a negative, hateful spirit, which is not the righteousness of God. Or, a loving, kind, Spirit in the righteousness of God. These don't mind drawing the sword of the Word to line you back up, if they see you are walking wrong but you profess to be something your fruits say you are not. Yeah, a person may get mad at you for telling them the truth. I had rather they get mad at me and live, rather than say nothing and they continue to die. Jesus continued to lay down his life for the church. He loved them more than he loved himself. He continued showing them themselves, but they wasn't the problem, Jesus was the problem. That jealousy, envy, hatrad, bitter, bickbiting, they had wasn't unrighteous. They would stone him, drag him out of the church at times. He was sent by God, and they refused to recieve him. They were perfect. Who is this coming in 'my' church calling me a hypocrite? Who does he think he is? Does HE not know who I am? Yes, HE knew you, and continues to show us who we are. Yesterday, today and forever. Have you got the right spirit? God Bless

The majority is not being led by the Holy Spirit but a self spirit. Unity in Christ; One mind, One body, One Spirit. Worshipping HIM If you can get a congregations attention on this, the congregation will witness a move in the congregated body by the Holy Spirit. God Bless

I believe cold 'water' is a thirst quencher, but will soon thirst again, cold christians are seeking but have not totally committed their life to Jesus yet, however, they keep striving to understand more and yet are able to quench anothers thist but that is about all you can get out of them I believe luke warm 'water' isn't much use at all. These are those that put on the face and profess to be but as soon as they open their mouth they are gossiping, bickbiting, two faced (double minded), high minded, jealous, ......all the fruits that are not the Holy Spirit. They are focused on self, not God. I believe hot "water" has been in the fire, and now the fire is in you. This is one who brought forth gifts worthy of repentance. These are those that held nothing back. God has cleansed them, purged them, santified, justified, has gotten them dressed and ready for battle. God's word is fire; if the fire doesn't clean one up, it will burn you down. God bless

Is your daily lives spent living for Jesus, serving HIM; or self? and what could you do to make daily life more about Jesus vs. self?

FORGIVENESS; if we will not forgive those that do us harm, how will our heavenly Father forgive us When we whole heartedly forgive them, God begins healing what has been broken. Be truthful with HIM about what you feel and why and release it to HIM. The truth will make you free... he who has been made free; is free indeed. God bless you sister

Amen, brother, Amen

Tongues did in fact cease. They all spoke in known lanquages and they are listed in Acts 2:9. What they are trying to do today is false. I was once told by a person that he could help me learn how to speak in tongues, say what?! Apparently to this person and his church, tongues isn't a gift from God! I pray for all to come to the understanding of Gods word.lol Curious: who said what they are trying to do today is false. Can you see into their heart? Who are you that judges another mans servant? However, I don't agree with someone saying they can teach you. NO, that is the spirit in you speaking forth to GOD. I do believe we must decern the spirits these days. Either what is going on follows God word and if it doesn't beware. God bless

and these signs shall follow those that BELIEVE: they shall cast out devils, they shall lay on hands and heal the sick, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpents and it shall not harm them, if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them I can't recall the scripture reference right now, someone help me out God bless

Think about Jesus actions everytime HE walked up in the church. What did HE do? What did the church do?

How humble did Jesus appear to be to the churches? Who are we to judge another man's servant? God knows your heart. We are to humble ourself before God, not man. With God, there is no respector of persons. Did Jesus show respect of person based on ones status within their 'good ole boy system'? He regardest no man We are to be (walk) Christ like. God bless

Amen sister. As I live, move, and breath; I do so unto God. It is so important, while we are yet here in are 'earth suit' that we are living for HIM and not self. We have yeilded to HIM and are already dressed and have passed our tests. He will recieve us without any further delays. Praise God!!! Praise God!!! I have laid my life down and soon HE will replace it with a crown.
