Everyone really has their own weaknesses even Christians but some can't see including myself..or maybe we can see but we are struggling to fight it. I like his sermons more than others because it is more realistic that it is really happening around. I'd seen why some richer than me are very stingy..
The young rich man in the story is fearful therefore unhappy. Deep inside himself there is a nagging question why Christ is not rich or is not interested in acquiring lots of money. Notice that wealthy people shower lots of money during their birthdays? After the party, unhappiness sets in again, and they will begin hoarding money again I don't think that money has a spirit. It is just power and security. Both of these are important and essential to living. But the unhappy and scared makes money a drug, Money as money is okay. What is not okay is if it becomes blissful joy.
You missed the point. Salvation was won by the Cross the resurrection of Jesus. It is available to anyone who wants it. But it is not something where you just escaped, you become a new creature. You must repent of wanting to do things your own way and of sin committed by that willfulness. Simply ask Him to forgive, save you and be Lord of your life. Your choice entirely
@@dianereinstadtler7267 You do realize that many Christians believe, as the Bible clearly states, that Jesus predestines most to hell? Swing by a reformed church sometime if you doubt this.

If all those saved are miraculous, then why does Jesus handout so few? Is he stingy?
