Salvation is not like wages that you earn or works that you can boast about.

We need a reality check
Romans 1:18-32 We need a reality check. There’s no doubt that the world has infiltrated the church of Jesus Christ in a pretty subtle way.

When God opens a door, the enemy has someone handy to try to close it.
Comments on today's bible reading: Acts 15:1-35 When God opens a door, the enemy has someone handy to try to close it.

What I learned about the Holy Spirit
At this present church age, the Holy Spirit seems to be the one member of the Trinity that is the most vague and indistinct, yet he possesses the most important need for Christians at this present time. Jesus mentions him in the book of John as a Comforter: John 14:25-26 (NASB) “These things...- ChristianConsFurryGuy
