These examples suffice to show that we
are dealing with the
same simplification of the problem of the
Christian's presence
in the world and of the politico - social questions of our time — though the above descriptions of the
situation obtaining
in Guatemala seems indeed to
be accurate.
Tommy God has already forgiven you for your sin the moment you asked Jesus into your life and confessed him as Lord.From that point he paid for your sin
in full past present future.It
is not sin that stops us from
being with the Lord so you
are saved.The problem you
are experiencing
is the battle for your life
in the here and now satan
is out to destroy you and he knows our weaknesses.If you
are honest there
were already issues
in your life that you struggled with and never got the victory over.So where do you go from here as i found myself
in the
same situation i
was a
christian but walking according to the flesh.God does nt change his mind he always loves us but because of our choices we distance ourselves from God.The issue
is that we like sin thats our wicked hearts and to
be fair we cant change our nature only Christ can do that our old nature must
be crucified with Christ.The stumbling block
is our pride we have to admit that we cant do it For me that
was terribly difficult i
was so independent thinking i could do anything but the truth
was a made a real mess of things.I sense you
are at a crossroads and
are feeling desperate and confused.So as a brother
in the Lord you need to confess your sin to God and tell him that you
are weak -LCB- we all
are -RCB- and that you cant do it
in your strength -LCB- None of us can -RCB- but ask him to send the holy spirit to help you deal with the temptations and the sin that you struggle with and he will help you to change your life he will empower you as he did me.Rather than look at who you
are look to Christ and walk
in him and he will make you a new man and sin will not have dominion over you.Jesus came to set us free from bondage.Having once
been a slave to sin i know what it
is like to have
been set free by the power of God and that
is what Christ
is offering you today.All it takes
is a desire to change or repent and admit we cant do it and trust him to give you the strength to walk
in him regards brentnz
So many of them show the inadequacies of «the church» and the «pastors» (the brainwashing, the control, the pressure to conform) and your «Perfect
Christian Body»
is doing the
same; so your intent to
be in defense of the opposite of «the body» suggested to me you may
be in defense of the opposite of these various «church - ly»
situations your
are satirizing, or criticizing.
In the last week or so, the debate about whether or not
Christians and Muslims worship the «
same god» has
been stirred up due to a controversial
situation at Wheaton College, about which I wrote last week.
