The Bible and Our Culture

The New Covenant gives us power!

Grace allows you to love God's Law passionately and genuinely.  

God's Law: Your Path to Success.

Live in God’s Glorious Grace with victory over sin.
Understand God’s Grace and its relationship to His Law.
Loving God’s Law does make you at risk of being a Pharisee but actually repels Pharisaicalism in your heart.
God has a Marvelous Purpose for His Law.

Many who do "Christian" ministry don't truly and absolutely know God!

We can "ginosko" God and flow in gifts of power, but just because you flow in power doesn't mean you "ginosko" God. 

God's law partners with God's grace against sin.  

How God's Grace works along side His Law.

Beware of false prophets.  What is a false prophet and how can you spot them?

Some have God's anointing but don't know Him.  They don't get to heaven.  

Saul versus David.

Phonies might do God's will in God's power but not know Him.

Some with God's anointing don't get to heaven.  Why?

Matthew 7:15f

 

Fruit is always the currency.  

Prophets from God speak words of correction is His love.  False prophets correct in error.

Protecting the Local Body.  Don't get surprised by Wolves.

It's normal to have disagreements with other believers; but it is not acceptable to talk with the wrong people about it. 

The Golden Rule (Mt. 7:12) affects every area including economics.

The Golden Rule: God's blessing for economics and much more.

Every group is bettered by practicing the Golden Rule. 

The economic advantage God gave believers is His law is written in our hearts.

Jesus' warnings about wolves in sheep's clothing is serious and relevant for today. 

Mt. 7:12-20

What is "the Church" as Jesus intended the term?

Take the narrow path only a few find.

A Biblical Church speaks out against injustice.

Choose the 1 path, the 1 gate, that leads to life.  It will put you with a different crowd than if you go with the wide path, the wide gate that leads to destruction.  

The behavior of the "narrow path" crowd is the "Golden Rule".  That is, the Golden Rule can be seen in their hearts and the way they live their lives.  

Don't go along with the crowd.  It's not easy to go against the flow in a crowd or in a river.
