I have said I am a Christian

I have said I am a Christian

I have said I am a Christian

I have said I am a Christian:
That I follow Jesus Christ.
Since I use the name of Jesus,
May His life show in my life.

I accept the blood of Jesus;
I receive the Way God gave.
I receive His mighty Spirit,
And allow the Lord to Save.

For I know that human effort
Can’t avail for righteousness,
I will trust myself to Jesus,
And, to Him, my need confess.

Now, I’m in a time of training,
And by grace I’m being healed,
While I grow to be like Jesus,
Till His fullness is revealed.

Since I say that I’m a Christian,
Let the living Christ abide.
Let not “Christian” be a label,
While Christ Jesus is denied.

And the Christ within is perfect,
And the flesh cannot do right,
I will listen to my Jesus,
As I focus on the Light.

My faith comes as I will hear Him;
It’s the power of my prayer.
As I seek Him, I will find Him;
When I seek Him, He is there.

Let my hope rest in His goodness.
Come, Lord, live in me, I pray,
Flowing out in depth of purpose,
In all that I think and say.

As I listen to my Jesus,
His faith opens up a door,
And His grace performs His leading,
As I yield to Him once more.

Since I say I am a Christian.
May His hope fill all my view.
Take all anger, strife, and envy
From my life, and make me new.

Let His Love flow through my being.
Let His Presence give me power.
May my heart be listening closely,
As He guides me hour by hour

My Christ Jesus lives within me,
“Come up higher,” hear Him say,
“To a deeper, living glory;
Give the Spirit total sway.”

My heart longs to go up higher,
To be freed from every sin.
I am seeking for fulfillment
That is only found in Him.

I desire the greatest blessing,
Pressing in with all my might,
Pressing toward His holy calling,
Till I reach the highest height.

And I seek to really know Him
More completely, day to day,
By the means that God has given;
I am walking in the Way.

Though I know I’m far from finished,
Yet I long to be complete,
For I know that my completeness,
Will be found at Jesus’ feet.

Even though not one of us can change ourselves, that’s no excuse for continuing in sin. Christ can change us.

Even though not one of us can change ourselves, that’s no excuse for continuing in sin. Christ can change us.

Even though not one of us can change ourselves, that’s no excuse for continuing in sin. Christ can change us.

Some people start making excuses for their sin. They might even say, “I was born this way, and I can’t help it.” We were all born sinners. That’s true. However, even though not one of us can change ourselves, that’s no excuse for continuing in sin. Christ can change us. He means to totally transfigure you into His image and likeness. He wants to perfect you in righteousness and holiness.

3. Without divine revelation, it’s impossible to have a true premise. Without a true premise, it’s impossible to be rational.
4. Without truth, no rational thought can exist.
5. No truth exists outside Christ.
6. The simplicity in Christ is this: Christ is real and Christ reveals truth to any open mind. He’s alive and knowable.
7. You can pray, “Lord, be the foundation of my every thought. Let me listen to Your voice every moment.”
8. Jesus Christ speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible.
9. The Bible is saturated with the Spirit of Christ, so you can’t avoid hearing His voice if you read the Bible.

17. When people turn from Christ, they turn toward darkness and lose the ability to tell the difference between good and evil and truth and lie.
18. In John 3:19-21, Jesus stated the reason ungodly thinkers persist in their ungodly thinking.

25. Without Christ, every assertion is a bare assertion.
26. Assumptions are unsupported claims (made-up stuff) people make up and treat as if real.
27. Axioms consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on axioms.
28. Most thinking is based on made-up stuff. For simplicity, call it lying.
29. Assumptions come out of worldviews, and worldviews give the illusion of reality while filtering out real reality.
30. Claims contrary to fact are bare claims that are also untrue.

44. Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma) binds ungodly thinkers.

49. When ungodly thinkers refuse to listen to Christ, they’re turning toward darkness. They lose their ability to sense God. They can’t hear Him anymore. They can’t feel His presence. They can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven. They become increasingly callous.
50. Ungodly thinkers make up stories to assert that Christ doesn’t reveal reality to those who follow Him.
51. If you assume what you’re trying to prove, you prove nothing.

57. Since ungodly thinkers can’t think rationally, they argue irrationally.
58. Interpretation of observation requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the observation. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
59. Interpretation of Scripture requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the Scripture. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
60. Emotion never proves anything, but ungodly thinkers are convinced based on emotion.
61. The emotional appeal fallacy is effective in fooling weak minds.
62. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to observation and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “evidence.”

72. Naturalism ASSUMES no God. God REVEALS no naturalism.
73. Speculative science and speculative theology: both are dangerous.

76. Evolutionists are having success with appeal to ridicule fallacies since no one likes to be ridiculed.

79. Scientists and theologians often reason based on made-up stuff such as axioms or assumptions. That’s irrational.
80. Scientists and theologians generally reason irrationally then rationalize their conclusions to make them seem sane.
81. Don’t be fooled by appeal the appeal to popularity fallacy. Satan established an organized system. The system consists of the culture, education, and media. The people in this system act in unison so the system acts as a single false prophet.

87. If you want to be a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.
88. Making immorality legal doesn’t make immorality moral.
89. God judges every immoral act. He judges every word that didn’t proceed from His own mouth. Whatever He doesn’t lead you to and do through you is immoral.
90. You are called to yield to the Holy Spirit so you only do His acts and only say His words.
91. God created you to work together with Him in submission to Him, yielding the members of your body to His righteousness as He says His words and does His acts through you. Anything else is sin.

I have a new spotless garment, Found the old one won’t do

I have a new spotless garment, 
Found the old one won't do

I have a new spotless garment,
Found the old one won’t do,
Hold the keys to the throne room,
See a creation that’s new!
His love became righteous judgment,
Setting all mankind free,
And He’s changing these garments,
That the world may Christ see.

If you don’t confess your sin and turn from it, you leave the Pathway of Life. You’re likely to wander further from God’s will into greater sin. Some people start making excuses for their sin. They might even say, “I was born this way, and I can’t help it.” We were all born sinners. That’s true. However, even though not one of us can change ourselves, that’s no excuse for continuing in sin. Christ can change us. He means to totally transfigure you into His image and likeness. He wants to perfect you in righteousness and holiness.

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. ~ Proverbs 28:13

Perhaps you have left God’s presence. Maybe you have sinned terribly or repeatedly. Perhaps you have become addicted to a certain sin. Sin is progressive. Sin is habit-forming. You haven’t committed any sin God won’t forgive. God can deliver you from any addiction. Addictions are difficult. If God delivered you from an addiction, He did a miracle in you. Don’t go back. Don’t test it. Stay far from it. God is calling you to stand in His presence. Stay very close to Him. Use the spiritual weapons He has given you. God can remove your rebellious fleshly nature. Never give up. When God forgives your sin, that sin is gone. You get a fresh start.

I Did Not Come to You by Depending on the Arm of the Flesh

I did not come to You by depending on the arm of the flesh.
I dared not come to You by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with a measure of Your faith.

The baptism is not by depending on the arm of the flesh,
Nor does the Spirit flow by depending on our own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with a seed of your fullness.

I could not turn from sin by depending on the arm of the flesh,
I could not leave my sin by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with a seed of holiness.

I simply submitted to Your righteousness.
I simply surrendered to Your grace.
That seed that You planted will grow into fullness,
As I yield to Your loving embrace.

There’s no weapon for this war by depending on the arm of the flesh,
From Your Spirit there’s no power by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anointed me with and gave me of Yourself.

Your temple can’t be built by depending on the arm of the flesh,
No stone is set in place by depending on its own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And Your foundation stands, and You set me in my place.

Your body can’t be formed by depending on the arm of the flesh,
No member set in place by depending on its own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And Your foundation stands, and You set me in my place

I simply submitted to Your righteousness.
I simply surrendered to Your grace.
That seed that You planted will grow into fullness,
As I yield to Your loving embrace.

I cannot serve you, Lord, by depending on the arm of the flesh,
Nor edify Your church by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of your grace,
And You caused me to stand and labor in my place.

I could not see your plan by depending on the eye of the flesh,
Could not see government by depending on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of Your grace,
And You anoint me with Your own orderliness.

I can’t see ministries by depending on the eye of the flesh,
I can’t discern You, Lord, by leaning on my own righteousness.
You anointed my soul with a measure of your grace,
And You opened up my eyes so I might glimpse Your face.

I simply submitted to Your righteousness.
I simply surrendered to Your grace.
That seed that You planted will grow into fullness,
As I yield to Your loving embrace.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word (Christ in you leading you) is not in us. ~ 1 John 1:8-10

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word (Christ in you leading you) is not in us. ~ 1 John 1:8-10

If you don’t confess your sin and turn from it, you leave the Pathway of Life. You’re likely to wander further from God’s will into greater sin. Some people start making excuses for their sin. They might even say, “I was born this way, and I can’t help it.” We were all born sinners. That’s true. However, even though not one of us can change ourselves, that’s no excuse for continuing in sin. Christ can change us. He means to totally transfigure you into His image and likeness. He wants to perfect you in righteousness and holiness.

Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. ~ Proverbs 28:13

8. Jesus Christ speaks through the Bible and every means of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible.
9. The Bible is saturated with the Spirit of Christ, so you can’t avoid hearing His voice if you read the Bible.
10. Even though the Spirit of Christ saturates the Bible so no one can avoid hearing His voice when reading the Bible, ungodly thinkers avoid acknowledging Christ when He speaks to them.
11. God doesn’t rewrite the Bible because ungodly thinkers rebel against His righteousness.
12. God doesn’t change the Bible. God speaks through the Bible to change you.
13. Wherever truth is denied, Christ is denied. Wherever Christ is denied, truth is denied.

15. God is love. No other source for love exists, but many fakes exist.
16. Christ is the Light of the world who lights every person, but many turn from the Light.
17. When people turn from Christ, they turn toward darkness and lose the ability to tell the difference between good and evil and truth and lie.
18. In John 3:19-21, Jesus stated the reason ungodly thinkers persist in their ungodly thinking.

24. Only one true Source for knowing exists. His name is Jesus Christ.
25. Without Christ, every assertion is a bare assertion.
26. Assumptions are unsupported claims (made-up stuff) people make up and treat as if real.
27. Axioms consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on axioms.
28. Most thinking is based on made-up stuff. For simplicity, call it lying.
29. Assumptions come out of worldviews, and worldviews give the illusion of reality while filtering out real reality.
30. Claims contrary to fact are bare claims that are also untrue.
31. If you follow Christ, you never have to use fallacy unless you choose not to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Those who follow Christ never have to be irrational since God reveals knowledge.
32. Two basic fallacies exist: calling made-up stuff real and covering up the fact that we’re calling made-up stuff real.
33. Don’t fall into the axiomatic thinking fallacy trap. Axiomatic thinking is calling made-up stuff “true.”

40. Ungodly thinkers base their thoughts on made-up stuff because of the limitations of the human mind.
41. Ungodly thinkers use the argument from ignorance fallacy a lot, but it’s a sneaky way to give the illusion speculations are part of reality.

43. Ungodly thinkers can’t be rational because of the Münchausen Trilemma. Only divine revelation from Jesus Christ solves this Trilemma.
44. Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma) binds ungodly thinkers.

48. God reveals Himself to ungodly thinkers. They refuse to listen to Him.
49. When ungodly thinkers refuse to listen to Christ, they’re turning toward darkness. They lose their ability to sense God. They can’t hear Him anymore. They can’t feel His presence. They can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven. They become increasingly callous.
50. Ungodly thinkers make up stories to assert that Christ doesn’t reveal reality to those who follow Him.
51. If you assume what you’re trying to prove, you prove nothing.
52. How could an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They would need a second premise to prove the first, but they can’t prove the second premise either. How can an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They can’t.
53. Ungodly thinkers are always forced to use fallacies since they can’t prove any premise true.
54. Rational thought requires true premises. That’s a problem for ungodly thinkers. It’s not a problem for those who know Christ. He is the truth and the only Source of knowledge and truth.
55. Rational thought must be based on truth, but ungodly thinkers have no path to truth. Ungodly thinkers can only escape this problem by turning to Christ. Pray for them.
56. Ungodly thinkers love to argue. Since they think their bare claims are valid, they have no limits.
57. Since ungodly thinkers can’t think rationally, they argue irrationally.
58. Interpretation of observation requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the observation. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
59. Interpretation of Scripture requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the Scripture. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
60. Emotion never proves anything, but ungodly thinkers are convinced based on emotion.
61. The emotional appeal fallacy is effective in fooling weak minds.
62. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to observation and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “evidence.”
63. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to Scripture and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “Scripture.”
64. Dogmatic thinking bases thought on dogma rather than living in the revelation flowing from Jesus Christ, Who is the only Source of ALL knowledge and wisdom.
65. Ambiguity can deceive the unaware.
66. God reveals truth through science. Some scientists thank Him. Others turn away from Light and Righteousness.
67. Ungodly scientists use assumptions as if they were part of reality. That’s how they sell their ungodly religion.
68. In the make-believe world of the ungodly thinker, “evidence” consists of filtered observations interpreted by assumptions that can’t be proved true.
69. Ungodly thinkers are stuck with bare claims and many smokescreen fallacies.
70. To say a statement is true when it’s unknown is irrational. Yet, that’s how ungodly thinkers use assumptions in science, philosophy, and theology.
71. No one can prove axioms like Rationalism, Naturalism, Materialism, or Uniformitarianism. They’re made-up stories, and they’re false.
72. Naturalism ASSUMES no God. God REVEALS no naturalism.
73. Speculative science and speculative theology: both are dangerous.
74. Ungodly thinkers can’t give an example of one kind of living thing ( like a cat of dog) turning into another kind of living thing. To say “countless examples exist” is not an example.
75. Evolutionists tried to be rational, but that never worked because evolutionism is irrational.
76. Evolutionists are having success with appeal to ridicule fallacies since no one likes to be ridiculed.
77. Evolutionism is based in storytelling and denialism. Evolutionism is a religious dogma that can’t be falsified. All conclusions of age-of-the-earth “science” depend on assumptions and storytelling.
78. Scientists and theologians generally reason emotionally and irrationally.
79. Scientists and theologians often reason based on made-up stuff such as axioms or assumptions. That’s irrational.
80. Scientists and theologians generally reason irrationally then rationalize their conclusions to make them seem sane.
81. Don’t be fooled by appeal the appeal to popularity fallacy. Satan established an organized system. The system consists of the culture, education, and media. The people in this system act in unison so the system acts as a single false prophet.
82. It’s no surprise ungodly schools teach an irrational form of logic.
83. Ungodly schools don’t teach the fact that without divine revelation, no path to a true premise exists.
84. Ad ignorantiam question fallacies work because most people don’t think rationally.
85. But sanctify [purify] the Lord God in your hearts [innermost being], and be ready always to give an answer [apologia = rational response] to every man who asks you a reason [logos = utterance = Christ] of the hope [firm vision from God] that is in you [in your innermost being] with meekness [a gentle spirit] and fear [reverence]. 1 Peter 3:15
86. Don’t let naysayers direct the conversation toward you. It’s not about you. It’s about Christ.
87. If you want to be a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.
88. Making immorality legal doesn’t make immorality moral.
89. God judges every immoral act. He judges every word that didn’t proceed from His own mouth. Whatever He doesn’t lead you to and do through you is immoral.
90. You are called to yield to the Holy Spirit so you only do His acts and only say His words.
91. God created you to work together with Him in submission to Him, yielding the members of your body to His righteousness as He says His words and does His acts through you. Anything else is sin.

I create in thee a new life.

I create in thee a new life.

I create in thee a new life.

I create in thee a new life.
Darkness has all passed away.
Your life has new beginning.
Christ Supreme does reign today.
I form in thee a new world,
Without ending. Now you see,
It brings forth a new creation.
In the earth a praise to be.

“Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” ~ Hebrews 3:15b

20. The truth-value of a statement can be true, false, or null (unknown).
21. Without divine revelation, the only option is fallacy.
22. Divine revelation is the only way to avoid fallacies.
23. Whatever you build on the starting point of Truth (Jesus is the Truth), you must build without adding to or diminishing that Truth. (1 Co. 3:11-15)
24. Only one true Source for knowing exists. His name is Jesus Christ.
25. Without Christ, every assertion is a bare assertion.
26. Assumptions are unsupported claims (made-up stuff) people make-up and treat as if real.
27. Axioms consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on axioms.
28. Most thinking is based on made-up stuff. For simplicity, call it lying.
29. Assumptions come out of worldviews, and worldviews give the illusion of reality while filtering out real reality.
30. Claims contrary to fact are bare claims that are also untrue.
31. If you follow Christ, you never have to use fallacy unless you choose not to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Those who follow Christ never have to be irrational since God reveals knowledge.
32. Two basic fallacies exist: calling made-up stuff real and covering up the fact that we’re calling made-up stuff real.
33. Don’t fall into the axiomatic thinking fallacy trap. Axiomatic thinking is calling made-up stuff “true.”
34. The only alternative to the axiomatic thinking fallacy is divine revelation.
35. Assumptions consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on assumptions.
36. Presuppositions consist of made-up stuff and using them as the basis for reasoning is insane, and yet, academia runs on presuppositions.
37. Since ungodly thinkers can never prove any premise, they get used to fallacy.
38. Ungodly thinkers get their assumptions mixed up with observations. Godly thinkers realize an observation is different from an assumption.
39. Ungodly thinkers assume it makes sense to base reasoning on made-up stuff, to base thinking on assumptions or presuppositions. Made-up stuff is all they have.
40. Ungodly thinkers base their thoughts on made-up stuff because of the limitations of the human mind.
41. Ungodly thinkers use the argument from ignorance fallacy a lot, but it’s a sneaky way to give the illusion speculations are part of reality.
42. Ungodly thinkers face Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma). Ungodly thinking can never come to an absolute conclusion. This means ungodly thinkers can never be certain of any claim.
43. Ungodly thinkers can’t be rational because of the Münchausen Trilemma. Only divine revelation from Jesus Christ solves this Trilemma.
44. Agrippa’s Trilemma (the Münchausen Trilemma) binds ungodly thinkers.
45. Ungodly thinkers try to defend reasoning based on made-up stuff and other fallacies.
46. Ungodly thinkers claim, based on bare assertion, that God doesn’t reveal truth to those who listen to Him.
47. Ungodly thinkers claim divine revelation is made-up stuff. How ironic! The ungodly thinker made up that claim. The ungodly thinker is claiming to know the inner spiritual experience of every Christian who ever lived.
48. God reveals Himself to ungodly thinkers. They refuse to listen to Him.
49. When ungodly thinkers refuse to listen to Christ, they’re turning toward darkness. They lose their ability to sense God. They can’t hear Him anymore. They can’t feel His presence. They can’t see the Kingdom of Heaven. They become increasingly callous.
50. Ungodly thinkers make up stories to assert that Christ doesn’t reveal reality to those who follow Him.
51. If you assume what you’re trying to prove, you prove nothing.
52. How could an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They would need a second premise to prove the first, but they can’t prove the second premise either. How can an ungodly thinker prove a premise? They can’t.
53. Ungodly thinkers are always forced to use fallacies since they can’t prove any premise true.
54. Rational thought requires true premises. That’s a problem for ungodly thinkers. It’s not a problem for those who know Christ. He is the truth and the only Source of knowledge and truth.
55. Rational thought must be based on truth, but ungodly thinkers have no path to truth. Ungodly thinkers can only escape this problem by turning to Christ. Pray for them.
56. Ungodly thinkers love to argue. Since they think their bare claims are valid, they have no limits.
57. Since ungodly thinkers can’t think rationally, they argue irrationally.
58. Interpretation of observation requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the observation. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
59. Interpretation of Scripture requires adding something (truth or not truth) to the Scripture. Truth only comes by divine revelation from Christ.
60. Emotion never proves anything, but ungodly thinkers are convinced based on emotion.
61. The emotional appeal fallacy is effective in fooling weak minds.
62. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to observation and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “evidence.”
63. The appeal to emotion fallacy uses emotion to add fantasy to Scripture and calls the combination of fantasy and observation “Scripture.”
64. Dogmatic thinking bases thought on dogma rather than living in the revelation flowing from Jesus Christ, Who is the only Source of ALL knowledge and wisdom.
65. Ambiguity can deceive the unaware.
66. God reveals truth through science. Some scientists thank Him. Others turn away from Light and Righteousness.
67. Ungodly scientists use assumptions as if they were part of reality. That’s how they sell their ungodly religion.
68. In the make-believe world of the ungodly thinker, “evidence” consists of filtered observations interpreted by assumptions that can’t be proved true.Ungodly thinkers are stuck with bare claims and many smokescreen fallacies.
69. To say a statement is true when it’s unknown is irrational. Yet, that’s how ungodly thinkers use assumptions in science, philosophy, and theology.
70. No one can prove axioms like Rationalism, Naturalism, Materialism, or Uniformitarianism. They’re made-up stories, and they’re false.
71. Naturalism ASSUMES no God. God REVEALS no naturalism.
72. Speculative science and speculative theology: both are dangerous.
73. Ungodly thinkers can’t give an example of one kind of living thing ( like a cat of dog) turning into another kind of living thing. To say “countless examples exist” is not an example.
74. Evolutionists tried to be rational, but that never worked because evolutionism is irrational.
75. Evolutionists are having success with appeal to ridicule fallacies since no one likes to be ridiculed.
76. Evolutionism is based in storytelling and denialism. Evolutionism is a religious dogma that can’t be falsified. All conclusions of age-of-the-earth “science” depend on assumptions and storytelling.
77. Scientists and theologians generally reason emotionally and irrationally.
78. Scientists and theologians often reason based on made-up stuff such as axioms or assumptions. That’s irrational.
79. Scientists and theologians generally reason irrationally then rationalize their conclusions to make them seem sane.
80. Don’t be fooled by appeal the appeal to popularity fallacy. Satan established an organized system. The system consists of the culture, education, and media. The people in this system act in unison so the system acts as a single false prophet.
81. It’s no surprise ungodly schools teach an irrational form of logic.
82. Ungodly schools don’t teach the fact that without divine revelation, no path to a true premise exists.
83. Ad ignorantiam question fallacies work because most people don’t think rationally.
84. But sanctify [purify] the Lord God in your hearts [innermost being], and be ready always to give an answer [apologia = rational response] to every man who asks you a reason [logos = utterance = Christ] of the hope [firm vision from God] that is in you [in your innermost being] with meekness [a gentle spirit] and fear [reverence]. 1 Peter 3:15
85. Don’t let naysayers direct the conversation toward you. It’s not about you. It’s about Christ.
86. If you want to be a friend of the world, you are an enemy of God.
87. Making immorality legal doesn’t make immorality moral.
88. God judges every immoral act. He judges every word that didn’t proceed from His own mouth. Whatever He doesn’t lead you to and do through you is immoral.
89. You are called to yield to the Holy Spirit so you only do His acts and only say His words.
90. God created you to work together with Him in submission to Him, yielding the members of your body to His righteousness as He says His words and does His acts through you. Anything else is sin.

Do you see how different it is to make your home in God’s presence instead of only checking in with God when you want something from Him?

(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

Do you see how different it is to make your home in God’s presence instead of only checking in with God when you want something from Him?

“Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” ~ Hebrews 3:15b

If you do leave His presence, you confess your fault to Him, and He’s faithful and just to forgive you and bring you back into His presence.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word (Christ in you leading you) is not in us.

I BEAR MY CROSS AND I KEEP PRESSING IN

I BEAR MY CROSS AND I KEEP PRESSING IN

https://freegospelmusic.org/songs/i-bear-my-cross-and-i-keep-pressing-in/

The plans that Jesus has for us are good,
And He controls all things.
Whatever happens, I can see His Hand,
His work, accomplishing.

I bear my cross and I keep pressing in,
And long to be set free from sin,
With Jesus as my constant, faithful friend,
Right from the start and to the end.

Let patience have her total, perfect work.
Complete Your work in me.
The trumpet sounds and I can hear the call.
I long for liberty.

I bear my cross and I keep pressing in,
And long to be set free from sin,
With Jesus as my constant, faithful friend,
Right from the start and to the end.

The things we suffer as we live each day,
Aren’t worthy to compare.
To glory that the Lord creates in us,
The splendor He prepares.

I bear my cross and I keep pressing in,
And long to be set free from sin,
With Jesus as my constant, faithful friend,
Right from the start and to the end.
