not what the bible says, God was very concerned about sin so much he sent Jesus his son to die on a cross for us, if we accept Jesus as our savor then we are to obey his commandments,
not break them, we are to live a righteous and holy life as possible, the bible plainly list a whole list
of things if we live in will
not to to heaven unless we repent, if we die while in these sins, we will
not go to heaven, what is the difference, between someone who said a prayer and someone who did
not, and they are living the same way, none, i think, if we are truly saved it should be hard to do these
things let alone live and do them everyday, i would be afraid to tell people that it does
not matte grace covers their sins, i really think it is the slip ups that we are convicted
of by the Holy Spirit and we ask for forgivness, how can anyones heart be right with God and they have sex all the time out
of marriage, lie, break every commandment
of God, i don't think this is meaning grace covers those sins, until they repent and ask for forgiveness, a lot
of people will end up in hell because preachers teach Grace the wrong way,, and those preachers will answer to God for leading these people the wrong way,

Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers
not strugglers since the day i decided to turn away from the sin that was controlling my life i never fell back into old sinful patterns
not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas
of weakness that we struggle in so do
nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to
let God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day
went well i was on a high if it did
nt i would would be down.
Not any more now when
things do
nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it
goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all
things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart
not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is
not to boast because
of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and
not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz

of Muslims coming from the east, they were in - fact land grabbing and trying to stave off the eventual fall
of what is now known as Istanbul, secondly I highly doubt that most

not all branches
of Islam be accused
of extremes when only a branch or two doing all the mess.

Go and sin no more in the first instance when the pharisees were condemning the woman Jesus says you without sin cast the first stone thats present tense when he said

things through Christ that strengthens us.brentnz
