"WORLDLY CHRISTIANS: MIXED SIGNALS, MISREPRESENTATIONS AND MADNESS EXPOSED in our 'Christian Witness'?" Mixed Messages — a showing of thoughts or feelings that are very different from each other Misrepresentations — KEY TAKEAWAYS Misrepresentations are false statements of truth that affect another party's decision related to a contract. Such false statements can void a contract and in some cases, allow the other party to seek damages. Misrepresentation is a basis of contract breach in transactions, no matter the size, but applies only to statements of fact, not to opinions or predictions. There are three types of misrepresentations—innocent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation, and fraudulent misrepresentation—all of which have varying remedies Madness Exposed 1. The condition of being mentally deranged. 2. Great folly: It was sheer madness to attempt the drive during a blizzard. 3. Enthusiasm; excitement: the madness...

"You Don't Have To Feel It, To Seize (forcibly), Obtain (secure) or Attain (achieve) It!" NO MORE DEFEAT, DEPRESSION OR DESPAIR Because the bullying spirit and rejection that have been significant battlefronts in my life from the past, I take extra precaution to GUARD MY HEART and MONITOR MY EMOTIONS on a daily basis to maintain victory in Jesus; even moment by moment when I feel under attack.. At the end of the day, I am NOT my own; I have been bought with "the price"! Therefore, I will glorify God with my body..Hallelujah!! When emotions "cling so closely" (Heb. 12:1), we might be tempted to think that such feelings are too strong after all—that real change isn't possible. But the truth is that "it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13). Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and ...

WHY ARE WE PRONE TO DO EVIL THINGS? Mankind is a tripartite being — made up of Spirit, Soul and Body, which is the intimately/intricately interwoven complexity of our fearfully and wonderfully-made "self"; fashioned to work as our whole being ** SPIRIT = BORN AGAIN HUMAN SPIRIT ** SOUL = MIND, WILL, EMOTIONS, IMAGINATION, and INTELLECT ** VOICE OF THE FLESH INTERNAL VOICE = SOULISH/FEELINGS AND FALACY (Faulty Reasoning/Invalid Arguments) — SOUL TIES/ EXTERNAL VOICE = SPIRITUAL/TRUTH AND REALITY (Real Existence/Substantive Arguments) — CONSCIENCE/MORAL COMPASS AS A MAN OR WOMAN THINKS, SO IS HE/SHE: Belief systems — values — worldviews — perspectives — moral compass — moral imperatives…serve as the foundation for life and living. SELF = One individual's personality, character, demeanor, or disposition. · The subject of one's own experience of...

THAT's NOT THE POINT.. The Bible reassures us that "the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:3, 4, New King James Version). IMPATIENCE is quite revealing, if you really just think about what it's showing you ... If you understand what "walking by faith" is all about, and also why "waiting on GOD" becomes so important to the distinguishable results and infallible proofs that you're expecting from The Lord; eventually you'll also begin to see what your own impatience IS, and is not! GOD is not amused, nor does HE get any pleasure from our fears , tears or worrying ! INSTEAD, the periods of waiting communicates that: - HIS Desires for us, far outweighs our emergency requests and fire-fighting - HIS Faithfulness to us is never about our "perfect performance" or "perfect obedie...

PREFERENCES, PREJUDICE and POLITICS in Christ's Church.. PART 1 LINK : https://fb.watch/ja2B5QBgZy/?mibextid=uc01c0 PART 2 LINK: https://fb.watch/jad74md5wG/?mibextid=uc01c0 When Jesus commends the unjust and unfaithful steward for his shrewdness in realizing that being a poor steward and untrustworthy manager had consequences — it's amazing that he had enough sense to plan for the future, with a certainty and recognition that he'd be losing his stewardship and position. Jesus was NOT applauding the steward's questionable practices, situational ethics, or the corruptible skillfulness that's actually associated with operational paradigms, plausible deniability, and money laundering schemes. But, He was acknowledging that the steward's understanding of the law of sowing and reaping allowed him to have enough discernment to PAY ATTENTION to the "changing season", so the worldly investments and pursuits that most Christians ...

HELL-BENT ON JUDGMENT? Latin: "Imago Dei" (Image of God) -- You and I are "Image Bearers" that must honor every human being that has been created in the image and made after the likeness of God, as Christ Ambassadorial Reps in the earth.. The reason that Christians support -- Pro-Life Causes, Prayer in Schools, Biblical Values, the Nuclear Family, and a Biblical Worldview (as examples) is because God's highest priority in life is the building, uplifting, advancement, and Zoe life that He has promised from scripture.

DETOURS, DEAD-ENDS, and DESTINATION NOWHERE! GRANNY's WISE COUNSEL I'm NOT sure ANYONE enjoys an unexpected interruption on your road trip, travel plans or time-allotted vacation time, but personally, I can hardly stand to be interrupted in "my flow; because I'm ALL IN when I get on the road for a certain destination.. My first commitment to excellence (smile) is to make sure that I'm suited and booted before I hit the highway! You know, "Granny always said, boy — make sure you have on clean underwear and "unholy socks" when you go to such-and-such a place!" (Smile) Btw..It NEVER really mattered she couldn't remember the name of the place, but that didn't matter — AND, I wasn't about to "correct her" for calling it whatever she wanted!! (LOL) FATE or DESTINY.. This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined cour...

#"TRUE" PROPHETIC ENGAGEMENT... ""Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.'" ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭25:37-40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬) If you look at the state of Christendom from an objective point of view (according to God's Word), and in light of Christ's mandate to the Church - the Great Commission, the Great Commandment, the Great Community, and the Great Exchange are as significant now (to God's remnant), as they were prior to Christ's ascension back to the right hand of The Father! What is the "Spiritual Mandate" associated with Christ commissioning to the Church? #1. The Great ...
