James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. Although I speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not charity it profits me nothing. And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge and though I have all faith so that I could move mountains and have not charity, I am nothing The fruit of the Spirit is the test of a ministry not the gifts of the Spirit. Therefore, I appreciate your desire to see parents train their children in the area of good works. Charity is the reason The early church believers were named Christians.......because of their Love. Love is The Bottom Line! It is the test. |

IN TOTAL AGREEMENT!!!!TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!! I Love The Written and the Rhema word!!! There is the "letter of the law" and, of course, as you know, "the Spirit of the Law". My Pastor at the age of 90 passed away in January 2007. I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful Pastor-Teacher, one who "Knew" Christ through His Word and His Love for people was so great! His son had not received Jesus until a few weeks before His father's death. He was baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit at age 70! My pastor said, after his son's conversion, "Now I am ready to go to be with The Lord". For The Lord is good and his mercy endureth forever! If I recall in the future a good source of information regarding your request, I will certainly let you know. It is a pleasure to receive and share with you! Again, Blessings, savedbyunmeritedfavor |

Hi Thanks for your reply to my answer. If you would in the future desire to "join" in prayer with me, I will take the time. In the meantime, I will ask "The Lord" what He would have to say to you about the question you asked, and I will let you know ....(smile) PS...Agreed...Matthew 18:20 (the context). is about church discipline. I believe the "principal" can be "applied" to prayer! My oldest granddaughter, who turned 16 on Thursday of last week, and who is adopted, sometimes says when I give her (a scripture or a song) I received "from The Lord", (rhema) Grandma, "that touched MY HEART". I am always happy when "THE HEART HAS BEEN TOUCHED" and not "JUST THE MIND". I appreciate the kind, gentle, loving creator who made us because He wanted "fellowship" with us so together redeemed (Mankind and Holy Spirit) (in harmony) can dicipline our children "IN THE LORD". And, "In Harmony" (agreement) bring order out of disorder on the Earth. When Christ is present there "Is Peace on Earth". When there is Peace in the Earth (We have this treasure in Earthen Vessels) We do the works of Christ. Let your light so shine among men that they see your good works and "GLORIFY YOUR FATHER" which is in Heaven. We can teach our children about God. We can teach them to say the right thing. We can teach them to do good works like Niccodemus. We can dicipline them in "THE LAW" as The Apostle Paul was schooled. However, when Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damacus, He said, "Who art Thou Lord..................'what would you have me to do"? Paul found out that the Lord was Jesus. He KNEW "WHO" He was, but then Paul said after His conversion, "...That I might "know" Him in the "fellowship of His suffering" AND "the power of His ressurrection". (the real dicipline) (CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY) His legal background was not enough.....It actually made him "Spiritually Proud". Paul desired "to KNOW Him." (intimately in the Spirit....the God of the Law and the God of Grace. Paul prayed for the baptized believers "....that Christ might be formed in you". (He actually groaned in travail for this). I am sure that Paul would pray that prayer for parents today..... Then their children would "GLORIFY GOD" when they see their parents good works that come from the HEART. Jesus Christ has all of our answers just as He did in the Gospels. "If you abide in My Word and My Word abide in you, you may ask what you will and IT SHALL BE DONE...." Of course, the Law is a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Keep up the good work!!! Again, If you would in the future desire to "join" (hopefully in agreement)(smile) in prayer with me, I will take the time. In the meantime, I will ask "The Lord" what He would have to say to you about the question you asked, and I will let you know.....(smile) (Now we can go into the Holy of Holies and make our petitions known because of the blood of the covenant .... "Ask and ye shall receive..seek and ye shall find....knock and it shall be opened unto you"(smile) "To Him that hath shall more be given...to Him that Hath not, even that that He hath shall be taken away".(smile) Blessings savedbyunmeritedfavor (To Be Conformed To The Image of Christ) |

Perhaps it would be a good idea to start the children out ........in the beginning....God. Great illustrated books like an early reader would probably be a good idea rather than nursery rhymes, etc. Also, keeping the children in and around the home rather than at the mall, the theatre, the gym, etc for the first few months of their lives. Singing worship songs about the Lord might be a good thing as that would invite the presence of the Lord into the home. It seems when we sing to Him and talk about Him...He shows up. "Where two or three are gathered in His name He will be in their midst. I wish I would have known what I am suggesting to you when I was raising my children. Babies and children who experience the "presence of the Lord" when very young always seem to know where "He " is and where He isn't!!! Babies and children need to be protected from the outside world until they know how to handle the outside world with or without their parents. What a rude awakening to America at this time in our existence! God is not in the thoughts of many of "our children" Many of them are heathens! My children did have a "church inviorment" and Bible teaching, but our home was a little hectic because I as a Mother worked...even though it was "a day care in my home"..I was busy and very tired. Let us pray for "more" Godly homes and day care centers (seems necessary). With that said: I believe that if those of us who have the concern you have.. start praying about this matter changes can happen! Prayer is the first step in change. God wants exactly what you see to come to pass. "The fervent "PRAYER" of a righteous man (Mankind) availeth much. "If you abide in Me and I abide in You, you may ask what you will and it shall be done.....(quote: Jesus) I believe any problem can be solved one home, one neighborhood, one city, one state, one nation, at at time, THUS "THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD SHALL FILL ALL THE EARTH" "IF TWO AGREE ON ANY ONE THING IT SHALL BE DONE" I will be happy to be your prayer partner in this petition to The Lord. We can be very specific through Email. Our Lord sees the problem as you do and is waiting for us to ask His help. "IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEGE HIM AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS" The Lord IS quite interested in this situation Jesus prayed....as you know quite well, no doubt, "THY KINGDOM COME....THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" I pray this for the situations you are writing about.. We can start by praying for wisdom and guidance through the Holy Spirit! I have always experienced "TRUTH SPOKEN IN LOVE IS SUCCESSFUL". "TRUTH SPOKEN IN FRUSTRATION" gets us where MOSES ended up.....HE couldn't lead the people because He was a little (well maybe, a whole lot, ANGRY, with them). It seems you have a job the Lord has given you, and if it is tempered with consecration and prayer.....your leadership will OPEN DOORS OF MINISTRY to you! I am a Mother of two Christian Children with two Christian "Children In Law" and 5 grandchildren. Prayer works and God responds to our faith! I will be looking forward to your note. What an adventure this can be! I have not offered scriptures to give to the parents because I believe the Holy Spirit, when we pray...will direct you in your desire to help change a portion of Earth to be like the heavenly Kingdom. The WORD OF GOD IS QUITE POWERFUL AND IT WILL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH IT IS SENT TO DO! Prayerfully, savedbyunmeritedfavor |

Hi, I am asking about churches that teach different doctrines....have different forms of worship....require different standards of lifestyle.....have different views on salvation. Pass judgement on churches that do not teach the scriptures like they believe as non-christians....some even go so far to say...they are the "only: church. All other churches are false. These churches do not fellowship each other. Catholic, Episcopal, Luthern Presbretarian, Methodist ,(United,Free, Etc.),Friends Nazarene, Baptist (Many types), Pentecostal (Oneness), Pentecostal (Trinity) Which one is right in your opinion and why? |

CUDDLE, After re-reading your answer, I must correct you for assuming I am looking for an excuse not attend church and that I am wanting a Brother or Sister to condone my not attending church. Quite the contrary, I am asking for sincere comments and perhaps, prayer, not incorrect judgement of my motives for asking the questions. You are forgiven. We all make mistakes! May we all "grow in wisdom"! Blessings savedbyunmeritedfavor |

Why are there so many "church buildings" where so many Christians isolate themselves in separate "houses of worship" and they do not fellowship other Christians? Why do you think this is seemingly "THE RULE"? How does this look to non-Christians who thought Jesus taught us to love and fellowship each other. What is the basis of "CHRISTIAN" fellowship |

Hi Jeff, Referring to your comments regarding TBN I would like to comment that I have no problem with a person owning a plane if it is used to further the kingdom of God. I believe if a minister's Material blessings stem from His or Her "GIVING" it is scriptual for them to be blessed for the "KINGDOM'S SAKE". In other words, being too poor can not represent the KING OF KINGS very well. What one gives is usually what one gets and more. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and those in prison, setting the captives free, preaching the word in season, reaching the nations with the gospel to the poor...that they can be free from poverty thru kingdom laws is a preregusite to having abundance needed to represent "THE KINGDOM OF GOD" God is not poor and HE HAS PLENTY TO GO AROUND...Give and it shall be given to you, pressed down and running over..... I do know there are "charlatans" in this world. Like you, my spirit does not "bear witness" with them. I know we must try the spirits. It is not a person's gift that we judge them by, but rather their fruit. In my studies, as others have noted, Peter made some wrong statements to Jesus and he said to Peter, "Get thee behind me Satan", but Peter went on later to be given the keys to the kingdom. Peter was a little to quick "on the trigger", but Jesus worked with Him and he finally "Got It Right" (smile) I appreciated your comments that some false statements may be made on TBN, but I appreciate the diversity. I have a problem with a church and pastorate that does not allow for discussion and only a dictatorial pastorate that will reject you if you view something in another manner or see a flaw in their mannerism (lack of the fruit of the spirit). I hear incorrect statements made by ministers in church also. I also see injustices iin local churches as well as money not spent to care for the poor, but rather buildings and more buildings I do believe a goregous elaborate church building cannot reach the nations with the gospel....(I know a song titled : My house is full but my field is empty) A PLANE TO CARRY THE MESSENGER carrying A LIFE GIVING MESSAGE can do a faster job and reach more people. A television network can carry the gospel to more places and faster. "When the gospel of the kingdom has been published in all nations, then shall the end come....the end of governments that are in power at this time. THE TIME IS SHORT. WORK WHILE IT IS DAY FOR THE NIGHT COMETH WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK. USE WHATEVER MEANS AVAILABLE! GOD CAN AFFORD A PLANE TO BE USED FOR HIS KINGDOM. THE UNITED STATES CAN AFFORD A PLANE TO CARRY BOMBS TO DESTROY LIVES. I would rather pay taxes to send a minister of the gospel to bring Life than pay taxes for BOMBERS PLANES AND TRANSPORTATION FOR POLITICIANS THAT CAN DO NOTHING TO SAVE SOULS. SURELY WE CAN GIVE A MINISTER A PLANE TO SAVE SOULS I hope my "just food for thought" will be understood. Sometimes we answer our own questions when we write out our own thoughts! (Smile) I would appreciate your further comments!!! Blessings in Love, savedbyunmeritedfavor |

17 | HOLY Spirit before Disciple of Jesus | Eph 5:18 | savedbyunmeritedfavor | 182653 | ||
Having been baptized in he Holy Spirit at 7 years of age (genuine baptism) and in ministry for 30 years...I had to go through the baptism of fire to be refined. God began to show me things in my heart that had to be corrected....areas of selfishness and disobedience. I do not understand why I was not chastened regarding those things earlier in my life...which in essence made me a hypocrite. I believe it was because I was allowed into ministry at a much too young age and that ministry was based on talent and gifts rather than on the "fruit of the spirit". I am in the process of being cleansed from unrighteouness because of the firey trials, thus, I now know that salvation is by grace and it is progressive upon one's willingness to go through the process. If one is not properly chastened as a child.....the baptism of fire can be pretty difficlut even to the point of great depression and contemplated suicide. I am amazed I did not know this. I had to break with the church that rushed me to baptism and seeking the Holy Spirit (Speaking in tongues). I begin to see injustice to and judging of other Christians in my church...and wanted to disassociate. I also wanted to disassociate because I knew in my heart I was trying to measure up to the churches standards to use my talents.....when there were some more important matters in my heart to be dealt with....namely selfishness. I had a problem continually with giving tithes and offerings...mostly because it was demanded and I was not giving willingly. I have since been tithing and giving offerings where I feel led to do so. I feel like I have born again even though I know my Baptism in the Holy Spirit - (and speaking in tongues) was genuine. Perhaps, I am being renewd in the mind also. Any comments or questions. I would appreciate hearing them. |

I am a born again Christian. I have been involved in ministry for a number years. I have been a widow for over 20 years. I am unable to attend church due to extream exhaustion after cleaning houses during the week. I was attending church and taking my first granddaughter for the first four years of her life. I moved to this city and attended a very large church. I was okay until I went through a really dark clinical depression for which I was treated. I felt I could not talk to anyone about this. I councelled at a Christian Community Health Counselling Center and received much help including medication. For a while I felt so bad I did not want to be around anyone at church because, it seems, all the people in my group were not well. I decided to stay at home on Sundays. For a while I didn't want to hear anything that reminded me of the church I attended....music, sermons, people. I still do not. I have started watching TBN and have been greatly blessed and strengthened. I have started paying my tithes to a wonderful television pastor. and supporting a Feed The Children Ministry . I witness to my cleaning clients and befriend their young children. I help my daughter with her children when needed. Will I be okay to not attend church in a building if I sing and worship at home. The Lord speaks to me thru His word and I am in fellowship with The Lord. I do not want to be deceived. I just do not feel like being social due to my physical condition. I am a student of the Bible and had a Music Ministry. I hope someone understands my situation and can respond. |
