I don’t know how much of this is humility, but to me, being concerned with WHAT is right is just how I’m wired. It’s just normal.
I don’t understand those who run from the truth for whatever reason.
We need to live in reality to be in unity.

It’s NOT “He’ll never let go,” BUT we should NEVER LET GO.
“You shall LOVE THE LORD your God with ALL YOUR HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH.’ This is the first commandment.” – Jesus (Mark 12:30)

This used to be our church’s theme and symbol, when it still had life: (photo) Abbott Loop CC Cross: We MUST Die In Order To Live!!!
Update: I’ve been told that this cross did not survive the March-2012 roof collapse.
It had been moved from front and center to the west wall, which took the biggest hit.
Someone should resurrect this theme.
Unless the people (especially the leaders) die to self, churches cannot survive the demonic onslaughts, and will bear no fruit that will remain.

Through prayerful Bible study, we can dig out nuggets of truth in God’s Word, which includes the fear of the Lord.
In 1 Timothy 3:9, Paul reminds us to “keep hold of the deep truths of the faith.”

It’s breathtaking to consider:
You have two eyes, each composed of 130 million photoreceptor cells. In each one of those cells, there are 100 trillion atoms – that’s more than all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy!
Yet some still think it happened by chance.
Macroevolution is not science.

Things Joyce Meyer never said:
“Turn in your Bibles to 1 Timothy 2:12….”
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For [because] Adam was *first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. – 1 Timothy 2:12-14
*first formed: Adam was given specific personality traits to best perform his specific function. Eve was then formed to help Adam, and was therefore given a different set of personality traits to compliment man’s.

Self-esteem comes from right standing with Christ through self-denial!

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him *deny himself*, and *take up his cross*, and *follow me*. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, and whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone *according to his deeds*. – Mt. 16:24-27

Safety in His arms!
I love this cartoon — and often think in this actual guardrails’ term!
God’s ways are there to protect us — for our good. We should embrace them, and walk the narrow path with head held high. Demons lie at the door and wait for us to jump God’s loving guardrails.
When we keep in step with the Holy Spirit — keeping our hands and hearts clean — We’re safe in the way of freedom that leads to eternal life in Christ Jesus!
“But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.” (Gal. 5:16)

“Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.”

“The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church, grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil.”

Crucial to be led by the HOLY Spirit in relationships.
It’s better to be single than disobey God, going against what we know is right to do.
Many aren’t even married in God’s eyes, because they married someone who was unbiblicaly qualified to remarry, or they were…:

I got this while preparing for a talk with Rick on Aug, 9,1990, regarding the founder:
“Our eyes are full of sawdust. We can’t see clearly to see the kingdom. There is might and there is power and there is glory, but it is being withheld until these relationships are made right, until we love our brother enough to feel his hurt deeply and say kind words of salve that heal their souls.
[___] can do this. This is vital. They are necessary. For he must do this for healing to occur. He is a man of integrity in many ways.
Fear must decrease. Love must increase. He will fight and he will win the battle over the stronghold of fear and unforgiveness, sayeth the Lord.”
The pre-trib rapture is a demonic deception designed to keep Christians off guard during the last days.
No church ever taught it prior to the 1800s. The rapture happens at the second coming, after the tribulation.
