MINISTERS NEED TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO LIVE THE NEW LIFE,
AND REJOICE IN PEOPLE'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS!
2 Corinthians 5:17Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
The world thinks the haters are Christians, when in actuality they are the religious!
MINISTERS DON'T DO THIS TO GOD'S PEOPLE!
Colossians 3:21 Amplified Bible
21 Fathers, do not provoke or irritate or exasperate your children [with demands that are trivial or unreasonable or humiliating or abusive; nor by favoritism or indifference; treat them tenderly with lovingkindness], so they will not lose heart and become discouraged or unmotivated [with their spirits broken].
You can't build a church by pointing a finger of condemnation at people, but God's church will be built by giving people a hand up!
Churches stop growing, because the Cloud of Glory moved and the church stayed still!
If our old nature died with Jesus on the Cross, why do so many ministers keep talking about sins of the dead man!
Christians have compassion: a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.
Religous people have a disorder called, "mercilessness"!
Christianity lifts your spirit, religion oppresses your spirit!
Religion is man trying to reach up to God. The message of Christianity is God reaching down to man. Religion is about what man has to do to be right with God. Christianity is about what God has already done to provide us the opportunity to be right with Him. Religion says you must earn your salvation by doing good deeds or certain acts and not doing evil. Christianity says all we need to do is believe that Christ has already paid the price for the evil we have done. Christianity says we are all evil (filled with sin) and there is nothing we can do to earn the right to be saved. Christianity says that God (in the form of Jesus Christ) stepped into our place and paid the awful price that had to be paid for us. He gave us the free gift of salvation if we choose to believe in Jesus.
Politics and religion are all in the same boat, they both are all about control, power, money and preeminence!
Religious have an occupation, Christians have a calling!
Any repentance that does't come from God's goodness does not last long!
What does it mean that a Christian is a new creation (2 Cor 5:17)
---------------------
The new creation is described in 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” The word “therefore” refers us back to verses 14-16 where Paul tells us that all believers have died with Christ and no longer live for themselves. Our lives are no longer worldly; they are now spiritual. Our “death” is that of the old sin nature which was nailed to the cross with Christ. It was buried with Him, and just as He was raised up by the Father, so are we raised up to “walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). That new person that was raised up is what Paul refers to in 2 Corinthians 5:17 as the “new creation.”
What mentally healthy person would go to church, listen to someone berate them, and then give the preacher money for doing it!
SUNDAY MORNING SHOULD BE A CELEBRATION, NOT A DYSFUNCTIONAL PARENT SCOLDING THE CHILDREN!
Ephesians 4:24
and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
