Romans 5:17, ‘For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God 's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.’ When we apply the Blood of Jesus to our lives, we are pardoned of our sins. We are cleansed. We are protected. We are made righteous and our relationship with God is restored. This means that we are not only forgiven,…

The first one is probably the scariest confession I had ever had. A new priest had come into my church and he was very passionate about his work. I confessed to him that I hadn’t gone to church regularly and he held up the crucifix and made me tell Jesus that I didn’t care that he died for our sins. He then proceeded to tell me that every time I skip mass I am being ignorant to what our savior has done for us and wasting the grace God had given me. This confession not only terrified me but also…

“Sacred Pathways,” by Gary Thomas is an enlightening book which describes nine ways humans can draw closer to God. Thomas explains many people are drawn to God through outward influences such as nature or their own five senses. Others are inspired more by routine and structure, interaction, experiences, or care-taking roles. Still other people are more inclined to feel closer to God through quiet and withdrawal, intense focus, or knowledge-seeking. Thomas explains one person may identify…

being a ceremonial rite of passage to which they all have to go through. Baptists also do not believe that it is regenerative, meaning saving within itself.

the death of Jesus Christ and the flies which gathered on Christ’s body during the time of crucifixion. The flies prevented more nails to be driven into the body of Jesus Christ, because they portrayed nails. Which spared more from being used. The result is that flies may now dine at Kings tables with impunity (Monteiro, 44). Comparing to Dickinson’s poem, “the fly appears to enjoy similar privileges before the king, perhaps even to the extent of touching the dead one’s eyes (“anointing” them?)…

Some believe the figure being spoken of will be fulfilled in the end times coming of the Antichrist. This time is believed to happen just before the second advent of the Lord Jesus Christ. While others believe when Christ came the first time he fulfilled part of this prophesy by putting an end to the need for a sacrifice. The problem with this theory is that it has an end, “He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven”…

astonishingly would be Luther’s attitude and his demeanor within his letter to Leo X. Despite the fact that many think Luther to be completely against every member of the clergy (as he does call them “despised” and equates them to the Pharisees that Jesus termed “a brood of vipers” ), in his letter to the Pope he appears very apologetic and honorable in his discourse. Pop-history may provide the inexperienced historian with a bit of wonder…

they know or not, now that you are a follower of Christ Jesus, forgives them, and makes a difference in their lives before they pass away. My mother did not neglect me, but out of the nine of us she had I her last born made a great impact in her life before she passed away! In conclusion, please do not revenge but let their wrongs be upon their heads, or rather pray that God will forgive them! May, God strengthen you as you do this in Jesus name. (Genesis 9:20-27, Exodus 20:12, Eph 6:1, 2,…
