life and death -- MUST HEAR IT You & your husband. I do not understand what gospel you are preaching. There is ONE GOSPEL ONLY. According to the Scriptures, which gives glory to GOD.
Four Awakening Truths.

Pardon me folks but this soul left no other way to respond to the question. If you truly want to understand it might be helpful to leave and easier way to contact you than to have to do a post to do so.


This comment can be found after this post.

Now I am not sure why you have issue with this, The scripture speaks about avoiding vain arguments. This sorta feels like one I do not want strife.

My heart that morning was feeling compassion. There are those who KNOW Him and those who do not but all who KNOW what it is to hurt. I was preaching to no one... I was sharing my heart with those who may be there is cyber space who hurt. That they might be comforted.

If perhaps you mean what am I preaching in general on my blog?

I listened to your suggested sermon. I was able to hear most of it the audio was old and hard to hear at times. I did not dis agree with it in fact found it very good stuff. I do believe that it is the Holy Spirit who quickens us. It is not my attempt to preach anyone into salvation. I just hope to support the working out of it in the lives around me and in my own. To offer and then find support as well. We are "becoming new", that speaks of a process.

I think there was a pained hurt that the questionable accusation hit me. Do you intend to hurt or just question? I do not mind questions. In fact I love to share ideas and hopes and dreams. I do not EVER wish to hurt anyone. Many have been hurt in the vain attempts of religion. Even in the wonderful sermon these things are spoken of.

Jesus plus nothing means to me that it is HE alone who I believe in not works of my flesh or acts of piety that will quicken my heart to God. I am a dead man walking without The Spirit of God giving me LIFE ( that is LIFE not performance or attempts to achieve on my own "holiness"). Grace is UNMERITED favor. I am a woman who lves God with all my heart, soul and mind. Mercy undeserved kindness.

Why you may ask do I not just say so.

Strife! That is why I respect others and try to offer an understanding non-religious blog. My relationship with God is just that...My relationship, my friendship that extends out to my "Friends (Abba God)" friends and all those who my "Friend" cares so deeply about. Whether we all think alike or not. Whether quickened or not. The compassion's I feel are based on the Grace and Mercy I have been shown. The bent I take has been educated from years of religious (doctrines of men) wounds.

Now the Battle is to choose life or death. Yes we have an enemy who hunts us down to kill steel and destroy. Too many religions deal with him as if he is really not there and the effect of this is when things happen God gets blamed and people walk away thinking God has abandoned them. If they would of just been told that there is a battle going on they may have sought to be armed.

I just needed to say ...I do not see this person a fool. Just I wish the comment would have been more kindly addressed.
My heart was tender toward others because I was feeling tender within my own heart. I don't mind being questioned.

I did not read the blog which caused the question. But i think the way you responded was right. Our salvation is a free gift of God. we are not saved by works Eph 2.

When we speak the truth we are bound to offend peoplke. In my case there are cultural, gender and religious differences.But I want to speak the truth about my faith, culture and country trying not to offend people.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
