Why should we help others spiritually? Why shouldn't we go back to our old lives?








"Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them." - Romans 1:32 

When we are Christians we should not wish for the habits we have left. Solomon  describes it as a dog going back to its vomit. (Proverbs 26:11) Once we have left our old life, we've left it and now need to be looking forward not back. But, just think, if you had all the riches in the world but had no reason to live what would it be worth? Nothing. This so Jesus describes in Mark 8:36: 
"What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?'"
We should not practice old doctrines and call ourselves Christians. Neither should we applaud those who practice our old doctrines. They may have been looking up to you, and now your Christian you show them the way because they followed your old doctrines. Do not let them continue! We must tell them what is right. "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up,..." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11. People say that we should not judge one another. It is in the Bible. But, just think again. Who was righteous at the time? No-one. Jesus hadn't paid the sacrifice so He was telling the people not to judge out of their sin. Nowadays, we have the Holy Spirit which helps us judge. God has given us a spirit to judge and love and of faith. For it is love that makes faith to work and faith to make hope to work. God bless you!

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
