How? Laying the Foundation of All Sufficient Faith part I

Posted by anointedplace on June 16, 2010 · 3 Comments 

The question of how seems like a simple one but it’s not always as it seems. Some would see that as a problem but it actually opens the door to a conversation. That conversation is the Gospel; I know what you are thinking: “here he goes with the Jesus talk”. With that in mind I … Continue reading →

Christ our Reconciliation

Posted by anointedplace on March 17, 2010 · 4 Comments 

Adam enjoyed perfect fellowship and communion with God before he disobeyed Him in the Garden. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God that fellowship was broken, and Adam tried to hide himself from God (Genesis 3:8-11). That broken relationship with God needed to be restored or man would be eternally separated from God’s holy presence. The … Continue reading →

What Does God Owe us?

Posted by anointedplace on March 3, 2010 · 8 Comments 

I am brought to tears as I think about the Gospel message and the Grace of God.

That is us as Christians, sinners on death row who were freed for no reason other than God’s Grace; His election. And that is why we shouldn’t judge because we have no foundation to stand on without the love of God.

I have sat in the seat at altar call saying to myself that he isn’t talking about me then I measure my sins. I used to be like that but no more. People like that are not Christians; they are religious and don’t worship God but worship what they have done with their lives. They are blind and don’t glorify God. They glorify what they have done with God’s mercy and long suffering. They glorify the use of blessings to glorify themselves. They do this so others can say how righteous and good they are.

God’s Wrath Against Mankind

Romans 1:18-32(NIV) 18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his … Continue reading →
