    In Germany where I live there were MANY true Christian pastors who spoke up and they were killed.

      Would that have happened if the whole Church as an institution and the Pope have stood up?

    Surely the seven churches of revelation would be the measure. To overcome these afflictions God's way? 3v14-22

    If it is upon every Christian to spread the gospel, then how does one do so when they are not public speakers, nor preachers nor a gospel singer? What if there has to be a way to spread the gospel without saying a word or being able to sing, your voice isn't something anyone wants to hear, but your duty is still before you? What are many of us to do to help our family, our community, our country? With each of these Techniques there are words added to the gospel.
    So what if we can spread just the gospel, nothing added? It doesn't matter if you do as Jesus says and preach,or how God teaches and plant a seed. What if those who make quilts can put a prayer or the Sermon on the Mount in the quilt, giving whoever receives it a covering in the voice of Jesus? Or a hatband with the Ten Commandments in it to allow someone to wear the very voice of The Father? If one is sick can we give them a prayer in a gift and pray with them?
    What if each of us worked together to spread the gospel and STOP with the downing of the way other Christians do their best to help us all? We have forgotten God in our deeds.
    By binding The Word, as God describes in Deut. 6:8-9, any part of it, placing it in gifts and spreading the charity, God blessed each of us and gave us an abundance of things we no longer need or want and give with The Word added as a gift to another who has needs or wants? Plant the seed of God's Word.
    Why can't we as Christians spread the gospel the only way we know how and be accepted by other Christians? We are one in our Lord Jesus Christ and some of us are not those who can speak or sing. There is more to the Body of Christ than just a mouth. What? Are we all talk and no action?
    People need the love, hope, mercy, prayer, songs, peace etc. that is in the pages of the Holy Bible.The Word, The Truth will last forever. Let's use every gift of God and spread His Holy Spirit across our land. This is something we all can do. Whatever you do, wherever you go, find a way to add the Holy Spirit.
    Psalms 119:151
    Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.
    Luke 8:11
    Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
    John 1:1
    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
    We have to plant seeds in order to reap a harvest. Where there is light, there is no darkness. Light up your world, spread the voice of God. Dress you and yours in The Lord.
    We cover the world in the Biblical spirit just as The Father did in the beginning. Let there be light.
    All world religions just lead to death, none has found life.
    There is more that you can do than pray.

    This is important stuff. I do not want however, us to forget that it says, judgment begins in the house of God.... We should speak against these evils but understand that when Jesus spoke of the wheat and the tears, the 'tears' were the world not the Church. Thus the church is meant to purge evil from among herself, if she dares to call herself the Church. If we do not tolerate evil from without, as we should not, but allow adultery, sexual sin in general or worldly principles inside our churches, then we are not a light on the hill!

      Matthew 19:25 addresses this. After all the preceding chapters of Jesus teaching on hardness of heart & divorce, children issues and their mistreatment, and rich young ruler, the disciples were on the edge of the cliff. NOW … Jesus had them right where He wanted. Then who can be saved? Your comments while true point to a larger issue. PRIDE from inside the church “leadership” regarding their 29 year Sunday school pins. Our best “inside or out” is filthy rags. You may have escaped divorce, but if you “look on a woman to lust” where are you now? Every man proclaims his own righteousness, and it’s most often heard from self righteous folks who mean well but missed their own diagnoses.

      @@PMM4JC LoL, one time years ago my daughter and I were proud that we memorized a small chapter in Matthew 5 but then we read together where it says, "be careful not to do your acts of righteousness among men to be seen by them"....we looked at each other and laughed at our own foolishness:) This is where many fail to see the benefits in the Fear of The Lord as it teaches us humility...Philippians 2:12, 13~

    We need prophets and evangelists in the local church. One man preaches every week in most churches. It is not a lifestyle and most Christians are not encouraged to live a NEW TESTAMENT life according to I Cor. 12-14. I think the Jeremiah's will be bold to speak when the church is healthy.

    To not be political is nonsense! That in itself is nonsense. Buy into ideas that aren't biblical ideas. That's you Eric. You aren't rightfully dividing the word of truth. You may think you're being smarter then everyone else but there is caution in the air on the way you think. Your way of thinking is precisely why the church is in the predicament it's in. Just one of many I can quote "our citizenship is in heaven" . I'll debate you any time on what that means but you already know what it means and it takes all the punch out of your sales. $.

    I don’t think you understand who and what “the Truth” actually is in God’s Word.. All of the Bible is God’s perfect, inspired Word, but not all of God’s Word is the Gospel. There is much of the Bible that refers to Covenants or systems that are no longer, or not yet in effect at this time. Much of what Jesus said in the four gospels was said to the Jewish people, still under the Law, as the New Covenant was not yet in effect. Many are wrongly applying some of the things Jesus said, taking them out of their context, causing confusion when compared to seemingly contradictory things written by Paul in his letters to the churches. The truth of the Gospel of Grace was revealed to the Apostle Paul by the risen Christ after His finished work at the cross. That Gospel is what the church should be preaching to the world in order to save all who are willing to believe. All of those political “churches” that are “exploding” are only adding more conservative political Christians who like hearing self righteous pastors who feed their self righteous flesh by preaching self righteous sermons against all the sins that they themselves are not committing (at least not openly). These pastors also do not seem to truly understand the Gospel that Jesus came and offered His life to give to us. Jesus only had those harsh words you referred to for the self righteous Pharisees who didn’t think they needed His Grace, believing they were better than all of the sinners that He spent all of His time with. He showed nothing but Grace to all of the overt sinners who looked to Him as their Savior.
    The “Truth” people are hungry for is the truth that Jesus died for all of those sins that you’re so outraged about sinners committing. Our job as believers is to tell them that all of their sins are already forgiven and that they can be justified before God just by believing in Jesus’ finished work at the cross. God is not counting their trespasses against them and wants them to come home and receive His unconditional love and overwhelming grace that will transform them from the inside out. This is the Gospel that will transform their lives without their striving and self effort.
    “Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.”
    ‭‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
    “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
    ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

      Unless I missed it, you didn’t mention repentance. The understanding and acceptance of God’s grace results in repentance from sin. If it doesn’t then it isn’t real.

    Eric has been exposed for supporting and affirming drag queens in a Salon the other day.
    Is this acceptable?
