241 | DIVORCED,REMARRIED DEACON | Titus 1:6 | Scribe | 55052 | ||
In this instance that you describe it does not matter whether he was born again or not. If a wife is unfaithful you can divorce her or if a husband is unfaithful the wife can divorce him. In this situation you can remarry. Even if you are a christian. If a Christian has a wife that is cheating on him, he can divorce her and stil be a pastor or any other ministry calling. Also if a spouse is an unbeliever and they leave you becuase your are too "religous" as you seek to serve Christ, then you are free to remarry and be a pastor or any other ministry. Now for the most common scenario. If a couple splits over arguing etc it is still not the unforgivable sin. The man who was called to pastor and went through a divorce is not banned from ever pastoring again. I don't care what denominations say God is able to save to the uttermost them that put their trust in him. If that man is called by God he will in time be changed if he has faith. The sinful behaviour of striving in the flesh with his wife and all the nasty stuff that caused the divorce will have to be purged out by the Lord, but God still has a few "back sides of the desert" to accomplish such things. When the Lord is ready and the man is changed he will be fit for the masters use and I reject any doctrine of the systems of manmade religious governments that strain at a gnat and swallow a camel in the words of Christ about divorce that would tell a man he cannot pastor because of divorce 20 years ago that God has dealt with. (No I have never been divorced) Such a man would do good to not join that dull and soddish structure of man anyway. Let him follow the Lord and seek His praise only. I am not saying divorce is ever an answer. Such a man may delay his calling by many years by such a failure, but he is not washed up. May God bless you in your study of His Word. |

242 | adulterous spouse than get remarried ? | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 55051 | ||
You have probably heard this before, but it has been said that the act of having sex with another person besides your spouse kills the covenant on your part. This is a mystery and demonstrates the spiritual nature of marraige. Now that being said it has to do with an act of betrayel and the spouse has the right to divorce in that case. However if the couple split for the more common reasons of arguing then they are still in that spiritual covenant as far as God sees it and in the invisible realm there is a bond that you do not see but God sees, so if one or the other remarries and engages in sex there is a crime commited in the spiritual realm of God's moral law and this is a mystery but there are many injustices that go on that we do not understand in the invisible realm. When God says he heard the blood of some crying to him from the ground it is not poetic language but a spiritual reality that we do not hear. Now that being said. If a man commits pornographic additction on the internet, it is not a light thing. Huge and horrible autrosities agains his wife are being committed by him in the spiritual realm and demons are flooding his home like a break in a dam. If he does not take it as a matter of life and death he will lose his wife as sure as if he had committed whoredom with a prostitute which of course is what he is doing in the heart. I could say much more about this hideous plague that is the number one sin in the church today. Just remember that the sin of internet porn is as bad or worse than anything Sodom and Gommorah were doing and this cup of abomination is being drunk by many nations as it has gone out from America first and most often and now infects the whole world. This wickedness is a spark of iniquity that will bring the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience and bring upon their heads swift destruction. It is the full cup of the gentiles (as was the cup of the amorites) that is going to cause God to rise up in indignation and wrath and say "I have born long with you but you will sin yet more and more and now even the pastors and those that should be preaching the word are sitting in their offices and homes drinking in the filth of whoredoms and their eyes are full of adultery and they cannot cease from sin" Oh my brethren that read this post may we repent as a dying man ready to meet God tomorrow and if we are allowed to stay here by the grace of God let us help our brothers get free from this hideous web so prophetically named. |

243 | Can a person push God too far?? | Luke | Scribe | 55047 | ||
I am not sure what you mean to say by this. I often wonder exactly what my baptist friends mean (not saying you are baptist) when they say similar statments. I am not posting this to argue or debate or to criticise you. I think you love the Lord, know the Lord and walk with God. I do not accuse you of any kind of heresy. Maybe you refer to New Testament teachings.. Jeremiah 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. There are numerous references to backsliding in the OT and always that I can tell they refer to Israel. The Israel God made a covenant with. The Israel God said he was married to. Of all the arguements that can be used to enforce the idea that a born again Christian can never be rejected by God the same arguments can be used about Israel. When someone says, Can God stop calling you a son if He is your Father? so also one could say Did God stop calling Israel His Wife if she would not repent? The opposing view about whether a born again person can backslide and be lost or whether he can't if presented by two true brothers on opposite sides of the issue usually are saying the same things. The one that says a person who lives in open sinful lusts of the flesh and does not turn from them or make some genuine effort at repenting is not going to heaven even if he says he has been born again is most often agreed upon by the brother who says that indeed such a person is not going to heaven, but not becuase he was born again and fell, but becuase he was never saved, for a saved person cannot live that way. The one that says a person living in open rebellion or secret sins will not inherit the kingdom of heave agrees with the one that say he must not be saved at all because the holy brother knows what misery he feels when or if he falls into sin and cannot comprehend how anyone could endure a week of living without the full confidence that all things are right between himself and God through being covered by the blood by faith and walking a holy walk of faith and being quick to repent. So what both sides are really saying is.. the saved person walks in holiness and if he fails he repents and the unsaved person lives a careless existence taking no thought for the wrath to come. |

244 | where is caanan? | Deut 11:30 | Scribe | 54855 | ||
(2.) The country which derived its name from the preceding. The name as first used by the Phoenicians denoted only the maritime plain on which Sidon was built. But in the time of Moses and Joshua it denoted the whole country to the west of the Jordan and the Dead Sea (De 11:30). In Jos 5:12 the LXX. read, "land of the Phoenicians," instead of "land of Canaan." From Eastons Bible Dictionary |

245 | can women be pastors | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 54837 | ||
I will answer this question with a question. What if a woman was in a remote village in Afghanistan. Let's assume she is just being a normal christian and witnessing to the lost. Over a period of time many women and children are saved under her ministry. Then in order to obey the Word and assemble in fellowship they gather and there are no men yet that have joined them. They are the church, they are a local assembly and she is operating in the office of shepherd. So when there is a need for a woman to obey God in faith she must regardless of what denominations say she should do. |

246 | Code to the Bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 54835 | ||
I think you might find this documentation by going through the Brother who runs the Creation Science Museum in Glen Rose Texas. I cannot remember his name but a search on google.com using creation science and Glen Rose Texas ought to get you there. He has attempted to explain the math behind the code. Also he has a show on TBN and he had the author of the book on his show and they said that they had research publications on how they used shakespeare and many classics and could not do the same thing. | ||||||
247 | raising the dead- no possible today?? | Matt 16:24 | Scribe | 54834 | ||
I think the question you raise "are there no really true followers of Jesus Christ so faithful and so empowered to accomplish such a miracle" Is the Holy Spirit working in you.. You are asking "these stories in Acts are all very wonderful and help me but.. where are the Peter's today? Where are the Phillips, or Pauls or Stephens?.. Is God a respector of persons? We know that the scripture says He is not.. Where are the Elijahs.. where are the Enochs.. where is the man who will say "Phooey" to dispensational rhetoric and say.. God here am I use me... God I want to go beyond the norm.. I am willing to give up all this world has to offer to walk with you as Enoch did. I want to know you more than this western nominal "say your sinners prayer, sign the card" religion. I want to have the faith that says to the lame.. I serve the same God of Acts and He what He has promised, He is able to perform, He said in Mark 16 that these signs shall follow them that believe.. They will lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed.. he sent out his disciples and said go heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead.. Freely you have recieved (by faith alone) freely give.. (do not charge). I will take you at your Word Lord and reject all seminary teachings by the intellect of men to nullify the Word of God for today. And yes brother you will see the dead raised. Nothing is impossible with God. Why do we think it is a hard thing for God to raise the dead? I have seen it already. I have seen a man dead and raised again by a believeing brother in the name of Jesus and over 20 witnesses gave glory to God. | ||||||
248 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Scribe | 54830 | ||
Also as a follow up, we know from numerous other passages that to watch is to pray. So we are told that if we find we are falling asleep we should start increasing our prayer life, if we see others falling asleep, tell them to increase their prayer life. | ||||||
249 | let us not sleep, but watch. | 1 Thess 5:6 | Scribe | 54829 | ||
When I read this passage in context I cannot escape the idea that he is saying live a life so that if the dreadful day comes upon us suddenly today, you will not be found in sin and as such unprepared. So if living holy and in faith (which are inseperable) or being awake and ready by living holy as if it could come today, then I will be blessed and not suffer the wrath of God, however if I were to fall asleep (as many are doing) and live in sin I will not be ready and that day will come upon me as it will all the children of disobedience. Does this teach whether we will go through the 7 year time of tribulation? I dont think it mentions that here, it does teach that the one awake will not suffer wrath , but the one asleep will. | ||||||
250 | Is salvation by faith only scriptural? | James 2:14 | Scribe | 54624 | ||
Since we know that James and Paul could not be teaching different truths and both be inspired by God we start off with the assumption that James would be adding to the thought about the fact that a man is justified by faith alone and not by the deeds of the law by explaining to those that would twist faith into something other than the kind of Faith that Paul was teaching James makes it clear the the Faith that is saving Faith shows forth evidence or works , but what did James give as an example? Sabbath keeping? No, Baptism in water? No, Circumcision? Aboslutely not. James uses examples of walking in love toward others in need as an example that you have been changed by saving Faith. So if we would be in agreement with both Paul and James, we will believe that we are the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ and as we go forth we look for opportunities to love a person in need. | ||||||
251 | Use Tithe on yourself? | Deut 14:23 | Scribe | 54619 | ||
It sounds like it to me. There were several types of tithes. However remember that this is to the Jew not the gentile. This law was never given to a gentile. You can see that by the context where it says if anything dies of itself the Jew could not eat it, but he could give it to the foriegner that dwelt with them, they were not under this law. Interesting truth. This demonstrates that the dietary laws were not for sanitation reasons but to teach spiritual truths. God was not outlawing eating something that dies, becuase they might get sick and then say but give it to the foreigner in your gate, it doesn't matter if he gets sick. NO. This statement makes it clear that the dietary laws teach spiritual truths if we have ears to hear. The Christian is to keep the spiritual truth though the exact details about the grain tithe does not apply the truth behind it does. What is it? Praise, and Thanksgiving. That is the revelation David had and it is also what the apostles taught concerning sacrifices and giving in spirit and in truth. |

252 | I THOUHGT YOUR NOT TO EAT PORK | Lev 11:7 | Scribe | 54618 | ||
Mark 7:18-23 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Jesus taught that the Old Testament Law that forbade the eating of certain meats were to teach a lesson but they were to dull to understand the spiritual lesson behind it. Paul also understood that was what Jesus taught for Paul said..... Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Can God change a law or rule he set up in the OT at a later time? Of Course he can, He is God. An example is that before the fall man's meat was vegetation, after the fall and flood of Noah God says... Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. The point is that there are spiritual truths behind these OT laws of what the Jew could eat (this law was never given to the gentile) and if the Jew kept the dietary law yet did not understand the spiritual truth it did him no good at all according to Jesus. So it is today. If a man prides himself in keeping a sabbath day by not working, but has no revelation of resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross for his salvation, not trusting in his sabbath keeping to grant him any "brownie points" with God then his sabbath keeping does him no good because he has no understanding of the spiritual truth behind the sabbath, which is a shadow of the real and the real is Jesus working for you and through you His righteousness. Col 2, Heb 3-5 |

253 | How did the apostles die | John 21:22 | Scribe | 54615 | ||
The bible does not tell us about all of them. However there are storied in church history that are called "tradition" that say that all were killed by persecution except for John. Matthew suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, killed by a sword wound. Mark died in Alexandria, Egypt, after being dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead. Luke was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost. John faced martyrdom when he was boiled in a huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos. The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey. He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully. Peter was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross, according to church tradition because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die in the same way that Jesus Christ had died. James the Just, the leader of the church in Jerusalem, was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation. James the Greater, a son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian. Bartholomew, also know as Nathanael, was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed to our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia when he was flayed to death by a whip. Andrew was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: "I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it." He continued to preach to his tormentors for two days until he expired. The apostle Thomas was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the subcontinent. Jude, the brother of Jesus, was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. Matthias, the apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded. Barnabas, one of the group of seventy disciples, wrote the Epistle of Barnabas. He preached throughout Italy and Cyprus. Barnabas was stoned to death at Salonica. The apostle Paul was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament. The details of the martyrdoms of the disciples and apostles are found in traditional early church sources. These traditions were recounted in the writings of the church fathers and the first official church history written by the historian Eusebius in A.D. 325. Although we can not at this time verify every detail historically, the universal belief of the early Christian writers was that each of the apostles had faced martyrdom faithfully without denying their faith in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

254 | Dake's Annotated Bible | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 54071 | ||
Thank you all for your response to my question. Well it has been a couple of weeks and I can say I am well pleased with the purchase. First of all I got a brand new genuine leather edition (109.00 retail) for 25.00 so that made me feel good. And of course as to the most important part the study of the Word it has been much fun. I doubt there has been a man born (other than the writers of scripture and Jesus Christ) that I would agree with 100percent of the time. Goodness sake I don't even agree with my wife 100percent of the time :) (shhhh, don't tell her!) However as someone here stated so well, Dake's notes are so extensive and reference so many other verses that they beat out my other chain reference type bibles. I also agree with the one who stated that Dake will coment or give verses on subjects that others ignore. I did not get it to help me understand the Bible, I rely on the Holy Spirit only for that, but I do like the spirit of which Dake seems to also believe that the Holy Spirit can lead you in the understanding of the Word even if the common view of the local seminary is otherwise. What I enjoy most so far about the Dakes is way it helps you probe the verses and think about them for longer periods of time than you might be used to doing. This is most useful when enduring a sermon from less thought provoking preachers, you can study the Bible while they drone on for two hours. Just kidding. (not really) I understand the concern about some of Dake's views but most of the notes seem to agree with most fundamental theology. Of course those that adhere to pre election extremes will stop reading this study Bible since Dake does such a fine job of bringing out more scriptures on the subject to refute such a view. And I would think those that break out in rage at the mention of tongues would also hate the work since Dake brings out scriptures to proove that the context mentions nothing about God ceasing to give this gift to believers before the perfect day arrives. It is a shame that we reject a huge volume of work over one area we don't agree with. If we expect to be treated as we treat others then we should expect others to reject all we speak about to them about the Lord over one area they do not agree with. I think reading Calvin is profitable (though I doubt I will get through all his works in my life time) however I do not agree with his super intellectual explanations of God thought up by his own mind and not backed up with enough scripture, howbeit much of his writings are very insightful in bringing out the text as it is written that is when he does not go beyond what Paul wrote or others. This inablility to agree with all that Calvin wrote does not make me say he was a false prophet or say his works should not be read or burned or what have you. As a matter of fact I have learned that those that seem to recieve the most vehement persecution from the established denominations might possibly contain some kernels of truth that the modern laodecian church needs to hear. It is amazing how much persecution a preacher of repentance will recieve and how much praise a preacher of prosperity recieves. I will side with the preacher of repentance any day. If Dake's notes incurr such a hostile response I wonder if maybe he had some really life changing truths to bring out and the devil would have us not read them. May God Bless you in your study of His Word. |

255 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | Scribe | 53964 | ||
If we read this passage in context we read that to pray in tongues edifies oneself, how when there is an interpreter? No for if there is an interpreter the whole church is edified, therefor the type of speaking in tongues here that edifies oneself is the type that prays to himself and to God. Or if there be no interpreter let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Now if a man is speaking to God, it is not a pagan ritual and if a man is speaking to God it is indeed edifying to himself. To edify yourself by praying is not a sin but a necessity for christian growth and strength. To edify ones self is not mentioned here as something he should not do but simply a statement of fact. To speak to God in tongues silently (not literaly silent as if in thought only but silent as in not loudly as if you would have the floor and want all people to be quiet a moment and listen to you which would be the opposite of a private communion, howbeit, the "silent" speaking between you and God may and would most likely be audible as I know no other way a saint in Acts could have "spoken in tongues"), therefore to speak silently in tongues between you and God is an edifying experience for you and this is a positive thing, and of course one needs such edifying spiritual exercises such as prayer and fastings, singing to "himself" in songs and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in his heart to the Lord (which in the case of singing to himself has nothing to do with public church singing to edify the body of Christ either, and yet we are encouraged to do so as a means of being filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:15) Paul lets us know in I Corinthians that to pray only to ourselves and to God though it does indeed edify ourselves which we need, this does not edify the body in the public fellowship therefore he does not say, "so quit praying in tongues and strike it from your Bibles" No he says, pray that you may interpret, so that you can give forth the interpretation of the Holy Spirit inspired tongue that the whole church may hear your interpretation and be edified. Not that the tongue or the interpretation is to be handled as the written Word in respect to inspiration but understanding that the gift is working through us by faith and we are getting across to the Body Scripturally based truths from the heart of God that are relative to that Local assembly for that moment. A word in season if you will. Sometimes the body of Christ needs a specific word of edification as it relates to their own issues and God is faithful to do this if we are open to let Him. |

256 | How do you interpret this verse? | 1 Cor 14:2 | Scribe | 53840 | ||
Wow, how blashphemous. This is the depth of intellectual dishonesty some are willing to go out of fear of the Gifts of the Spirit. Would he say Paul was guilty of this paganism, since Paul said in this Chapter, "I speak in tongues more than ye all" and "forbid not to speak in tongues" This type of interpretation is beneath commenting on because the person doing it could not possibly believe it to be true in the context of the passage. It must be an attempt to slander the Holy Spirit Gifts and that is a very dangerous thing. I never try to convince someone who does not want to learn about tongues but I always feel God's anger at an atempt to change the word to teach somehthing that would slander what the saints did in Acts. It is one thing to say you think it does not happen today. It is quite another to say what the apostles did was "not of God". When a preacher does that he seems to be lining up with the Pharisees. |

257 | Are God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit one? | Bible general Archive 1 | Scribe | 53838 | ||
People have been trying to figure out how to explain the Godhead since Jesus was born of a virgin. However you cannot completely explain it that way. The Bible does reveal that the Son of God will be present in eternity seperately from the Father God. One example is when Jesus takes the scroll from the hand of the One on the Throne in Revelation 4 The One on the throne is seen as a great glorious light with no image we can form and say this is what God looks like., The Son of God is seen as a Lamb slain which is not meant to say Jesus will look like a lamb but a symbolic form is seen here. The Fact that God choose to send His Son and Call Him Jesus should be enough for us. If we believe on Him we will get to heaven and there we might understand the fulness of the Godhead, until know it is a mystery we are to take by faith, but not "blind" faith, but faith in what He has done for us. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. |

258 | what is the difference between the to? | Acts 2:38 | Scribe | 53835 | ||
These are not two different things. To say so is to say that Either Matthew or Peter or Luke (writer of Acts) were not inspired when it was written. But if we believe they were inspired then we conclude that they must mean the same thing. If we understand that "In the name of" means to be sent in the authority of then we see how both mean the same thing. To be sent to baptize becuase God sent you or becuase Jesus sent you is what Gives you the right to baptize. The "in the name of" here applies both to the one sent to baptize others as well as by what faith the believer is being baptized into. |

259 | Sinning against the Holy Spirit?? | Eph 1:13 | Scribe | 53832 | ||
When you decided to walk in sin (lusts of the flesh) your asking the Lord to leave you or take His Spirit from you is not under your control. God gave his son while you were yet a sinner not thinking about him, that you might be saved, what? do you think that know that you have tasted the goodness of God that you can order Him around? Your feelings of the presence of God and His peace are directly related to too things, your faith and your behaviour. If you are indulging in the lusts of the flesh you are not going to experience peace. If you are walking in darkness you are not going to feel like you are in the light. However if you turn to God in faith and believe that the blood he shed for you on the cross 2000 years ago is strong enough to wash away your sins today even if you did say such a foolish thing then you will in time "feel" His presence, but whether you "feel" it or not rest assured, God is with you if you repent and follow Him. Your ability to want to repent and want to walk in holiness is a work of the Holy Spirit and not of yourself. If it were too late for you, you would not even be asking this question becuase your understanding would not allow the formulation of such a thought. A reprobate mind is not capable of seeking to be forgiven and to want the precense of God. A reprobate mind does not retain the knowledge of God. Dear saint, when you were born again you did not loose the ability to be tempted to walk in sin or the lusts of the flesh. Rather you became a target of the powers of darkness to entice you to such sins. Who do you think is behind the questions and fears that so many saints who have fallen have asked..."Have I commited the unpardonable sin?" If you ask such a question with fear in your heart that maybe you have, then rest assured you have not. Satan loves to try and put that on saints. The person that cannot be forgiven has not desire to be forgiven. Please understand that the work of repentance is from the Holy Spirit, you cannot ask such questions or have such longing without the Holy Spirit doing it through you. However all things you receive from God come by your faith, so if satan can attack your faith, then he can hinder your walk with God. If satan cannot make you lost he can at least cripple you with doubt and unbelief. Your faith will lift you out of this. Just take God at His word just as you would preach to a new believer who is trying to feel too much. Soon your feelings will line up with your faith. This is not a head game but a warfare. Satan wants you to think you are washed up, that you have let too much time pass, that God's grace cannot apply to you becuase you knew better and sinned "in the light", satan is good at hurling these fiery darts and they are effective in hurting us. But if you raise up the shield of faith these fiery darts will begin to be blocked. Your best years are ahead of you. God took Moses (a man who murdered) when he was 80 years old and used him to change the world for the glory of God. God took David, a man guilty of pornography and adultery (when he should have known better and was already well versed in the Word) and forgave him and worked a change in his heart. God took Samson, a man who fell over and over again and made his last moments more meaningful than his whole life. God is not through with you. God is able to take a tragic walk and revive it and make it better than it was before. Lift up your faith and tell God. "I am not able, But you are. I will not doubt that you can change me and use me" God bless you brother. |
