    How do you Know you are saved?

    Do you have an experience in your heart where the Holy Spirit lives? Or is it just blind faith with zero experience?

    How do you Know you are saved?

    For me, it's: “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” Romans 8:16 (KJV 1900) Have you ever experienced this?

    How does Limited Atonement affect your relationship with God?

    I must say, I developed a great sense of compassion for Jehovah's Witnesses, and churches of the free will works persuasion who are driven by a fear of hell rather than by a genuine love of Christ. You cannot love Christ to any extent unless you know he died especially for your sins in particular.

    How does Limited Atonement affect your relationship with God?

    I will answer first by saying that I have never been so free and happy in my relationship with the Lord since I first heard the doctrine of Limited Atonement. It tells me that Christ paid for my sins on the cross and that is why I believe. I could not believe in any true sense had he not. I...

    How does God and religion really help you get through tough times?

    I developed a Christian worldview that helps me understand what I see according to scripture. I try to saturate my mind with the Bible. The world is like a window we look at every day. We can see the chips, the dirt, the warpage. But if we learn to look through the window, we can see God's plan...

    Should married Christians wear rings?

    I stopped wearing my wedding ring when it got caught in the door push bar at the supermarket. I about broke my finger. It wasn't long until a couple of old maids tried to fix me up with their young widow friend. Weeks later, on another husband-hunting expedition, they asked me if I was married...

    You can help the Devil destroy the person by catering to him. Or you can let him reach a state of misery where he trusts in God having heard you point the way.

    Most church people trust in their own works to save them. How so? They believe in Free Will and their own powers to "meet the conditions" for salvation whenever they choose. The problem? There are no conditions. Salvation is by grace alone.

    Martin Luther says; First, God has promised certainly His grace to the humbled: that is, to the self-deploring and despairing. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled, until he comes to know that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsel, endeavours, will, and works, and...

    AA knows what they are doing. The kid needs to crash and suffer the results before he will ever consider relying on God who can help him. Did you know Martin Luther says the same thing about salvation?

    It's a waste of time. AA says unless a user bottoms out, they don't want help. Let them crash so you can help them.

    Scripture says to avoid them. Helping them without their repentance is helping the Devil to destroy them.

    If you mollycoddle them, you will end up working for the Devil. The only way they get the message is if you cut them off from all family contact.
