Paul is telling the Corinthians and us 2000 years later that whether we are married or unmarried it is our calling. It is not a sin either way, unless it is a matter of conscience. The point he is makings the issue is not physical, but spiritual. As the the has revealed these truths to me it helps deepen our understanding. To Him be the Glory ! Well worth the listen.

Paul is very clear about guidelines for the married and unmarried. The Corinthians had allowed a man to have a his fathers wife, and the church was puffed up. There were no consequences for the behavior. Today's culture is far worse. However, God's True Word still stand and will continue to. The guidelines fly in the face of modern culture. If you are a thinking about divorce or just have questions this would be good to listen to. it probably will challenge your thinking, but don't let personal emotions get in the way.

This is part 4 in the end times series. We all have a Commission from the Lord. It is given to us by the Lord, and manifests itself differently with each believer, but it is the same commission. I share 4 or 5 examples in the 2 messages. In the end times we have work to do. The Lord tells us to bring the Gospel to the lost sheep. So we are not Called to stand around and wait for a Rapture to happen. We have work to do and a Commission to fulfill. That is our work if love Christ. Time to get to work now. We all can do better in the Power of God. It is Mission Possible. Not mission impossible. Christ tells us that with Man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Take heart my friends and Trust in the Lord!

Paul addresses the issue of Adultery and fornication. Two issues; first, what fornication looks like in the last chapter, second, what marriage is and what it should look like. Also he touches on why there should not be fornication in marriage. The fornicator needs to be set out of the body, not embraced and the sin not addressed. Tough message, but necessary for today's believer. Truly.

This is Part 4 in the End Times and the Mark of the Beast series. Last week we saw in part 3 that Christ's message (Matthew 24 and 25) that we we need to "Be Ready", but that we are not to be looking for Signs and Wonders. We have a Commission. The question is, Do we take that Mission seriously or have we just abandoned it because it is impossible. With Christ and God it is Mission Possible, not Mission Impossible. How about you? The time is Now to wake up and get to work. We are called to continue the Ministry of Reconciliation given to us by God Himself. OR are we just sitting around waiting ? His Ministry is Active and we all have a part in this "Mission Possible." We have a Commission from God through Christ. No time to waste, The time is drawing nigh! Where do You Stand ?

This is part 3. The focus should not be on Signs and Wonders, but on Christ. We discuss false teachers and their signs and wonders. Christ warn us about the false teachings in Matthew 24. These are false teachings that have infiltrated the church today, because it is asleep. The message is the same today as it was 2000 years ago. Take Heed Christ says to us. The message is to be Sober and Watching so that you are Ready. This message is a must for any true believer in Christ today. Take Heed.

There are a lot of views of of the Mark of the Beasts and Christs Return. As Christians we need not worry about them, as we will not suffer God's wrath. This does not mean we will not be persecuted. Tribulation is a final opportunity for those that don't know Christ and a culling of the Goats and Sheep. The events of End Times are clearly spelled out by Christ. This should be a great comfort to the true believer, not something to worry about. If you are struggling with these issues this is a must watch and I hope a comfort. This will help dispel some of the myths surrounding Christ's Return. Blessings ! You also might be interested in part 1

A lot of Christians worry about the Mark of the Beast and Rapture. This is a Biblical view of the events and why we should not plan on a pre-trib rapture or receiving of Mark of the Beast. We have no need to worry if we are true believer's in Christ. This will help to dispel some of the false teachings that are out there. We will look at this from a biblical prospective.

Abuses in the Church at Corinth are very similar as in the American church. No discipline has destroyed many churches. They are no longer the Church , but have become the Church of the world. These are hard truths. Because you don't believe it does Not change reality and truth. Turning a blind eye to sin so as to be inclusive, and not to offend anyone is sin itself. Repentance is truly needed. Lord open the eyes of our understanding.

Amidst the craziness of the World, what is our only Hope ! Christ Alone ! Stand in the Power and Freedom of Christ. Let not your Faith be established in the wisdom of men, but in the Power of God ! Blessed are those who are persecuted for My names Sake for theirs is the Kingdom of God.

This is the 2nd part of the teaching. We as Christians are called to call out sin in the body. To not do so or to turn a blind eye is sin itself, and possible damning that person to hell. why? Because they think the behavior is perfectly acceptable. God is serious about sin and it should not be found in the body. We are to non hypocritically judge in the body, and to discipline accordingly. In the case the puffed leaders were turning a blind eye and not addressing the issue of incest. Today's church is often doing exactly that , with the idea that we don't want to offend anyone . To take the matter to a worldly court with worldly morals is even worse. This is a very clear passage. It is a warning and we need to take heed to not follow the way of the Corinthians. Sin is Sin ! There is no Salvation without Repentance, There is no Repentance without conviction, There is no Conviction without the Holy Ghost. We as the church are guilty of many of these things. It is time to take heed and follow God's teachings through Paul. A must watch !

God's judgement Must, not may or might, but Must begin in the body of Christ. This warning is a sober reminder that we are not to be puffed up in our Christianity. Brother should go to brother if there is a dispute, then work it out in the Body. We are not to take it before the Ungodly court systems of the world. remember that the world hates Christ and God, so why would you go before it, when you are of God and it hates God. Why would you expect a Godly or Just decision? The courts and judgements of the world cannot give you a Godly or Just decision , as the things of God are spiritually discerned and the worldly are of the flesh. this is a must watch. It is as relevant for today and probably even more today as it was 2000 years ago, when Paul spoke to the shame of the Corinthian church. We ought not be taking the matters of the Body before the court systems of the world. That is to our shame. Please watch and consider.

There is a need for Discipline in the church today as there was in the church at Corinth. We are sadly lacking. Without discipline anything and everything of the world can enter in, unhindered and is. Woke and cultural issues are coming in and Destroying the body from within. If the Word speaks against an issue, in this case sexual perversion, then it should not be allowed in. If it has, then it needs to be addressed. Being culturally and politically correct has no place in the Body. Paul addresses this issue then. It is as relevant today, and even more so, than it was 2000 years ago. A must listen. Agree or disagree, that is your choice. Let the Holy Spirit Speak.

Correction in the Church is necessary. We are not to be puffed up either in the wisdom of man or in our position in the body. This message from Paul is as relevant for today as it was 2000 years ago. He also tells us that we will be persecuted for our faith. A message that the American church has not known for over 250 years. Be assured that it is coming and in fact is here for any true believer. Persecution even will come inside the church from those who are of the world but are going to church. Establish your faith in the Power of God, not the Wisdom of man.

We are the Stewards of the Mystery's of God. He has only Revealed them to those who believe, and are saved. We are the keepers of those mystery's, and have a responsibility to proclaim them to the world. We are judged of no man for the Lord id Our Judge. Our Faith is to stand in the Power of God, not the Wisdom of Man. Are we a Good Steward?

We have the Mind of Christ, We are Christ's and Christ is God's. The wisdom and wise of the world vs the Things of God that are spiritual discerned thru the Holy Ghost, the Power of God. We are living stones in the temple of God. We need to build our house on the Rock of Christ. We must not defile the temple of the Lord which we are. Live like Christ, walk as He walked. The wisdom of the world id truly foolishness to God and those who are not saved. But of those who are it is the POWER of God. It is not about us. Know Ye Not ?

Who are you sitting Under. Paul explains a common problem of 2000 yrs ago and also to the church of today. It is not biblical, but prideful to sit under someones teaching. If the are in Christ then they are one and the same in Spirit. If not it becomes the traditions of man. Our faith needs to be rooted and established in Christ, Not in the Tradition or the traditions and wisdom of man. We are called to sit Under Christ Jesus, Period. Carnal Christian. Spirit vs Flesh.

Wisdom of Man vs Wisdom of God. Man can not know the Mystery's of God with out the Mind of Christ. That only comes by the Power of God through the Holy Ghost when we are Washed by the Blood of the Lamb. It is by the Power of God, the Blood of the Lamb, and the Holy Ghost not by the Wisdom of man, that we can understand. We are not Called to live after the Flesh, But by the Holy Ghost.

What was God's Plan in the Resurrection. We are to Live like Christ ! and, to Walk as He Walked ! The Mystery has been revealed. The resurrection has purpose. Will we Walk in Christ or live in disobedience ?

The Wisdom of God vs the wisdom of man. God uses the foolishness of the world to confuse the wisdom of man in proclaiming Salvation through Christ. Flesh vs Spirit ! We preach and Christ crucified.

Man's wisdom often gets in the way of salvation. the gospel is foolishness to worldly wisdom. God's Wisdom vs Man's wisdom. Man vs God. True Wisdom.

This is the love story of Christ and Peter. Our God and Lord has a love story for you also. He is asking Peter and you Do YOU love me. We see Peter here denying Christ 3 Times and our Lord still Loved Him. Peter and our mission is the same. "as the father has sent me, so I send you". He loves you and died for you. Question is do you love Him, Really. A question every professing Christian needs to ask themselves.

What kind of Love has God bestowed upon us. Agape. is is the love that Christ bestowed upon the woman caught in adultery. It is the salvation message to us all. It is salvation through Christ"s Blood, from a fallen world, and to bring us back into right standing with the God of the bible. Told in the Love story of the woman caught in adultery. A true and beautiful Love shown in this story. The Lord has a beautiful love story in your Salvation as well. John 8: 1-11.

The story of two sons, The younger and the Elder. The repentant son and the unrepentant son, judging his brother. The love story is about the Fathers response to the repentant son. This is the manner of Love God has for Us. Thank You Lord. God has given us many chance to our last breath. Which are you? The younger or the Elder.
