Sanctification

these discussions I often learned more on an individual level than I would have if I were solely conducting a personal study on the lesson topic. Realizing the impact of this individual growth and how the Holy Spirit uses it in the process of sanctification, I have developed a stronger desire to continue in studies that enhance my understanding of…

The diversity of the U.S. traces back to the beginning when the northern and southern colonies were established. Northern colonies were founded by pilgrims who wanted religious freedom, whereas southern colonies were founded to grant colonists opportunities for land ownership. Their differences and similarities in economic, political and religious is what shaped our country into what we are today. However their differences caused strife and a lack of understanding that eventually led to the…

straightforward. I mean how are you supposed to live a righteous life if you are never given an example to go by? The book literally tells you what is righteous and what is not. Righteousness doesn’t happen overnight, but instead over time as sanctification is also happening. Though it may be insane to think about being a slave to righteousness, it almost makes perfect sense. If you are willing to be a slave to anything there is an immense amount of love and faith behind the commitment. It is…

Pneumatology: For the kids: Lesson: There are three persons of God; God the Father, God the Son, and the third is who we will be talking about today. This is God the Holy Spirit! Do you ever feel like God is telling you something? Something like “You should invite your friend to church this week.” Or “You should go talk to that kid over there, they are having a hard day and need a friend.” When you hear or feel that, that is the Holy Spirit guiding you. God has a plan for us, but we don 't…

I believe that God has predestined our salvation, rather than us having the free will to chose when and how it happens. The Bible stated clearly that God has “predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,” (Ephesians 1:5). God must have predestined history at least to a precise point, in order for His prophecies to be fulfilled. He indicated many times that He had sent Jesus to earth for just that reason. In Luke 4:43 Jesus tells his followers,…

Throughout my years as a believer I have been a member of and visited some interesting churches to say the least. I have visited some churches that have an old fashion Baptist church feel to it. I have visited churches that are more modern in their presentation. And again, I have visited churches that have a very charismatic feel to it. I currently reside at a church that leans toward the cessationist model of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is this model that I have also drawn a favorable…

catholic church influenced her writing and the themes she would speak about. One of the most prevalent themes in her short stories is the theme of grace. Grace is often seen as an unmerited divine aid given to humans for their regeneration or sanctification.

It will analyze the character of Mr. Shiftlet and how he ends up rejecting grace. The short story begins with…

“The Almost Christian” – This is one of Wesley’s sermons from 1741 in which he illustrates what nominal or “almost” Christians look like as compared to the real, “altogether” Christians. Firstly, he identifies common traits of the “almost” Christians by saying that they have heathen honesty, sincerity, and that they are very much so focused on possessing the “form of godliness” or rather the outward appearance of a Christian. These people may approach the faith and perform the mechanics of it…
