Do you believe in Jesus?
If you believe (John 3:16) you also have to believe (John 14:6). Jesus said he is the only way the only truth and the only life, no one comes to the father except through Jesus.Do you actually know Jesus? And do you actually put your faith in Jesus and for what he has done for you? Or do you have to add man-made rules regulations, traditions and religious beliefs and principles to your life in order for you to feel free and be right with God? Jesus is King of kings and Lord of all lords, He is the one who was, the one who is, and the one who is still to come. My question is to everyone, Do you actually truly know Him?
Letting Jesus wash the CRAP away.
In a reflective piece, Ann Lester draws an analogy between the regular maintenance required to prevent farm machinery from rusting due to exposure to manure and the spiritual cleansing that Jesus offers to individuals burdened with sin. Sitting in a serene setting, observing cows on a misty morning, the writer contemplates the importance of dealing with life's "crap" – both literally and metaphorically. The narrative emphasizes the value of confronting and washing away our sins, much like cleaning machinery to prevent rust, illustrating the concept with personal anecdotes and farming experiences. The author highlights the transformative power of forgiveness and the potential for past mistakes to nourish future growth, akin to how manure can fertilize plants. This piece ultimately encourages readers to embrace forgiveness, let go of guilt, and live a life defined not by mistakes but by redemption through Christ, reinforcing the message with scriptural references to God's promise of forgiveness and a life free from condemnation.
Faith
Jesus said we need to become like little children. We need to stop overthinking it. We need to stop relying on religion and what other people are telling us. We need to forget about teachers and rulemakers. We need to go back to the basics. We need to take what Jesus says for what he says and stop acting like fools.
Truth
Once you know the truth, you can't go back. You can choose to ignore the truth and go against the truth and live a lie, but you cannot be ignorant any longer. If you know the truth, you know the truth. The truth is the truth. If it wasn't the truth, Jesus wouldn't call it the truth, and that's the truth of the matter!
Feet Washing
Are you a part of a religion? Are you a part of a denomination? Or do you consider yourself non-denominational now, with only a few church standards? Remember, if you add one rule to the free gift of Jesus Christ that he gave us, we are telling Jesus he did it all in vain!
I’ll say this again: if we are a born-again, Bible-believing, God-fearing, Jesus-confessing, sin-forgiven person, and we are not a part of a religion, then we are a part of the church of Jesus Christ. We are His body, we are His bride, we love Jesus, we put our faith in Jesus, and we follow Jesus. What does following Jesus mean? Well, that’s a tough one, but here it is: it means that you’re following Jesus!
Christian Capitalism
Some may argue that they need compensation for teaching the truth, but the Bible states that the Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth, and Jesus is the ultimate teacher. So why should you get paid for something the ultimate teacher is already doing, not to mention, He actually instructs everyone to learn from Him instead of human teachings that can be distorted, deceptive, and burdensome?
Invasive VS Native
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 a liar, and his word is not in us.1 John 1:8-10
Is He Risen?
Again, it doesn’t matter what you say you believe, it doesn’t matter how religious you are, it doesn’t matter what “church” you belong to, it doesn’t matter how long your Easter service is. It doesn’t matter what you eat, doesn’t matter what you wear, all that matters in the end is your personal relationship with your Savior Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords!
Do you believe what he says? And do you put your faith in him?
If so, let’s prove it!
Easter Sunday
Then the angel asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? The women were shocked, but the angel said, “Don’t be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead! Look, this is where they laid his body. Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died.”Then they remembered that he had said this.
We the people
WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE CHURCH!
The problem is in this day and age. If a non-believer goes to the so-called local “church”, they’re not going to see unity, they’re not going to see God‘s love, because the people are not united, they’re arguing over parking lot issues, or lighting conditions, or what liquid to drink for communion, what clothes to wear, what instruments and songs are allowed, what kind of water saves you, etc. these so-called “churches” have no desire for your personal relationship with Jesus. They are more worried about their congregation, growing and their tithes and offerings and rules and tradition, than the peoples personal walk with Jesus.
My Testimony
But we talked about a lot of stuff, but we got to talking about his past and childhood and hard times he went through, and he told me that some people tell him that they are sorry that he had such a hard time, this is what he told me “don’t be sorry, without a test all you get is a imony” I never thought about that before like that, but it is a fact! You cannot give your testimony to others if you do not have a testimony, you cannot take someone somewhere if you do not know where you are going, you cannot pull someone out of a hole if you are in the hole with them, I could keep going on about that but you get the point.
Women roll in the “Church”
Church - True Meaning
(A Born Again, Bible believing, God fearing, Jesus confessing, sin forgiven Christ follower, now part of the body of Christ, His bride the church) Not a building or denomination. To think that you have one roll inside your “church building” and another out side of your building is absolutely ridiculous thinking! It should be what is the roll of a Godly woman period!
Rules are for Fools!
The only way to heaven is through Jesus! No works, No church, No rules, No law, No membership, No water, not even thoughtful good meaning religious “church” standards. Only through the blood of Jesus cleansing your sin and making you new in Christ by grace you are saved through faith in Jesus!
The Christmas Story
The Christmas Story - Straight Bible just a simple read of how our Savior was revealed to the world! Glory to God in the Highest!
Christmas
I’m celebrating the earthly birth of my savior Jesus Christ, and just so we are clear, Jesus Christ is Alive! Not only that but he actually does give out gifts and he is a hero of this whole world, he’s the creator, he’s our savior, he’s the King of kings and Lord of lords, the only one who died and then rose again from the dead on the third day, the only one that went back up to heaven to create a place for us that is beyond our wildest dreams that we can live with Him forever and ever in his perfect world! My question is, Do you know him?
Body Building - For Christ
Body building for Christ, If you don’t work out this is for you! If you do work out this is for you! Now your probably thinking “so it’s for everyone?” Ding ding ding we have a winner. Yes this is for EVERYONE!
