This is the Christmas messages preached by Paul Tracy December 2011
Is America a post Christian nation? Repent…
Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word
This went huge online…in one day over 2 million views! WOW People are looking for something, times are tough, So seeking they seem to go…but are they being honest with their quest? Finding vid clips online that give you a quick little insight that builds on how others have got it wrong, may be true, but if it just makes you have a momment superority as you look down on other who have behaved legalisticly….isn’t that feeling exactly what this poem is preaching against?
Overall I like this vid, but I hope it dosn’t simply build a new form of self rightousness that ends up emptying out Churches. So love Jesus…but don’t forget that he loves his bride the church too.
Hebrews 10:23-25
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
2/13/12 this video is now over 7 million….here is a response vid that makes some differant points worth hearing……..
Does God still judge nations?
Does God still judge nations? My first thoughts on this is No…because it seem to me that once Christ set us free to have a personal relationship with him, the need for a national identities is lost. Ideally if you belong to Christ, you are not a citizen of this world.
Ephesians 2:18-20
18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone,
2 Timothy 2:3-5
3 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.
John 15:18-20
18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
Colossians 2:19-21
19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow. 20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”?
BUT….After Watching this teaching about Harbinger I’m beginning to think God could be still in the business of Judging nations, I in no way think this is rooted in “replacement theology” but in “Patterns” Patterns are clearly seen in scripture:
Isaiah 46:9-11
9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like me.
10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’
11 From the east I summon a bird of prey;
from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose.
What I have said, that I will bring about;
what I have planned, that I will do.
So what do you think, is God using Islam to bring judgment on America?
Rape or Abortion, which sin is worse?
This is the testimony I’ve always expected to hear from a born again rape victim…in regards to justice it makes perfect sense…one would argue that all sins are equal…yes in regards to heaven or hell…but when we look at life, and God’s value on it, abortion is final, but a rape victim can overcome and live to forgive and give glory to God. The unborn child is a second victim that ends up causing the rape victim even more pain and shame. The young lady in this clip truly shows God’s love by her forgiveness, and gives glory to God with her testimony, She then rightly confesses her sin of murdering her child….all is forgivable, but only when you see it clearly for what it is… Praise God for her Story.
Bobby Dickerson….Live from Sierra Community Church
I was a very young Christian when Bobby D would sing praise at Sierra Community Church…This is classic Bobby D performing Amazing Grace….Peace to Bobby’s family, as he’s gone to be with the Lord.
Somebody is wrong on the internet…
This little cartoon really hit me square between the eyes…Yes I love theology! I love doing my best to get it right for God’s glory….Has this love gone to my head at times…you betcha…but God continues to pull be back to humility. He will complete the good work he started, of that I am sure.
So late at night I and many other believers spend countless hours correcting bad dortrine…Why? because we love the word of God and want the Truth known, correctly even on the internet.
The barracks Presuppositional Apologetics
To listen to the teaching on this go to the bottom of the blog, and click on podcast
Presuppositional Apologetics deal with the sinners attempt to surpress the truth with the lie that there is no God…If we believe the bible we will see that everyone knows that God exsists…to learn more about Presuppositional Apologetics go to Sye Ten Bruggencate’s web site Proof that God exsists
Romans 1:18-23
God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse….(the operations based on Logic, science, and morals show that they believe)
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
1Peter 3:13-16……..(Probable God vs a certain God)
13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats do not be frightened.”15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. (Neutral Ground) Their Ability to reason…vs our foundation in God and his word…
NKJ
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.
Psalm 14:1-3
1 The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt,
They have done abominable works,
There is none who does good.
2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside,
They have together become corrupt;
There is none who does good,
No, not one.
Proprieties of Logic: Immaterial, Universal, and Unchangeable …God is…
Law of Non contradiction…..is True, because god is truth, there is no lie found in him.
Evidence assumes logic
logic is only consistences with the God of the Bible…
