There is nothing inaccurate about the old rugged cross. Sorry.

I wasn't discussing just an old rugged cross per se, Cat. :t2:  :P

I have a real cross -- I bear it daily. I don't need a symbol of something when I have the real thing.

Star,

I am with you girl and don't think Christians should have a cross hanging in their house with Jesus on it, we should remember everytime what Jesus did for us and not when we look at a cross.

Its another idol.!

:P  :t2:  :P

Love in Christ,Angels.

Munari , do you kneel before your cross?

Cat:  The Bible says we are to die to self and pick up our cross daily.  That cross is very real.  The longer I walk with the Lord the more I see that the spirit realm is a greater reality than any other realm.

Munari:  I hope that you do not feel under attack with what I am saying.  I am just openly discussing an issue with you that I have given lots of prayer and thought to....

I will say this:  Jesus Christ could have appeared at any time in history that suited Him and His ordained will.  He could have had any technology functioning that He chose to.  Doesn't it strike anyone as significant that He chose not to appear before cameras, nor have paintings commissioned of Himself, nor have any IMAGE of Himself made during His time on earth so that we wouldn't worship that image?

I've read the Rebecca Brown M.D. books and the Neil Anderson books and all that. Yes, Star...I know the hidden realm is real but I am more than a conqueror and don't live in fear of it.

I stand in quiet confidence in my Savior. I refuse to live in fear and I also refuse to deny the Savior who bought me. Hence, the "cross" on my wall stays.

This is so far fetched to think a person can't even have a cross on their wall, symbolic of the awesome sacrifice made for us by the Lord Jesus Christ, without it being offensive to someone.

Incidently, we have an American flag, too. It's not coming down, either.

I guess I'm just an idol-worshipper, ya'll. :sarcasm:

Actually, Cat, I never said that a cross hanging on a wall offends me.  Very little offends me, if anything.  I, for one, find it unscriptural to have a cross with a figure hanging on a wall. I also see potential for any symbol of any sort to be an idol. I don't have fear of the spirit realm -- I was just trying to express how real my cross is to me.  I quoted a Bible verse in support of that.

For myself, because of the people we witness to, it behooves us not to have any religious symbols in our house.  We have lots and lots of Scripture verses and beautiful paintings up, but nothing that is an image of God.

My own godly little mother differed with me on this: she had a print that was meant to represent Christ on one side of the door with no door knob, while the other side had one, signifying that we must open the doors of our hearts to the Lord, that He doesn't barge His way in.  I never was offended by anything my mother did, nor did I ever have any problem living with her for the short time we had together.  Please don't misunderstand me.  I think that in the flurry of posts here and on other threads, we have the potential to get mixed up over what we mean to say and over what others are saying.

I quoted you on this because it smacks of  pridefulness.

I delight in the cross and what it means to me.

I'm glad you feel you carry your cross daily. Since I have a cross in my house, I must not apparently.

Do you see how that came across?  

I'm just so sick of everyone trying to be "religiously correct".

It sounds like people saying, "I'm holier than you are."

To each his own, okay?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
