Q. I have seen this pattern over and over: A gifted speaker and leader starts a church that is a great little church with a tight group of believers who enjoy warm fellowship with each other and are excited about following God,…. then over time, as the attendance grows, the church begins to polish up it’s program. Soon the once down-to-earth and accessible pastor starts to upgrade to more formal attire as the attendance swells, the worship team (gag) gets fancier, and then the building fund starts. Read Post »

Q. Hi there, love the website by the way! I have a question on this parable that I hope you can help me with, it has always confused me.
I understand that we are saved by Grace through faith, but the servant who recieved the one talent was sent to a place of ‘weeping and knashing of teeth’ because he as I understand it, did nothing with the gift s and talents god has given him, I am a born again spirit filled believer, but if at the end of my life I haven’t actually put the gifts god has given me to good use for his kingdom, is this saying that God wont accept us in heaven? And so why I am confused is, because it also says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. As you can see I am very confused as to what this scripture is actually talking about, Please help!! Read Post »

Si es que habéis oído de la administración de la gracia de Dios que me fue dada para con vosotros; que por revelación me fue declarado el misterio, como antes lo he escrito brevemente, leyendo lo cual podéis entender cuál sea mi conocimiento en el misterio de Cristo, misterio que en otras generaciones no se dio a conocer a los hijos de los hombres, como ahora es revelado a sus santos apóstoles y profetas por el Espíritu: que los gentiles son coherederos y miembros del mismo cuerpo, y copartícipes de la promesa en Cristo Jesús por medio del evangelio (Efesios 3:2-6).
De nuestro estudio de si la Iglesia fue prevista por los profetas de Israel, la pregunta obvia que queda sin contestar es, “¿Qué fue lo que Pablo quiso decir cuando dijo que era un misterio que en otras generaciones no se dio a conocer a los hijos de los hombres?” Read Post »

O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old- what we have heard and known, what our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.

Romanos 7:1 a 8:21
Habiendo recibido la justicia de Dios impuesta a nosotros por la fe aparte de la Ley, ahora tenemos que escoger vivir una vida en santidad. No estando ya esclavizados en nuestra naturaleza pecaminosa, podemos erguirnos sobre cualquier comportamiento auto destructivo que nos ha causado tristeza en el pasado, lo mismo que a todas aquellas personas a nuestro alrededor. Se nos ha dado una perspectiva eterna, sabiendo que lo mejor está aun por venir (2 Corintios 4:18). Liberados de la necesidad compulsiva de agarrar todo lo que podamos, sin importar cómo lo hacemos mientras lo podamos hacer, es que podemos empezar a vivir una vida de paz y experimentar el gozo de poder dar agradecidos por todo lo que hemos recibido.

Can you please explain again how Messiah was meaning His Jewish brethren when talking about “if you did it to the least of these my brothers, you were doing it to me”, and how it means we should be helping the Jews today, whether monetarily or otherwise.

This morning, I was going through the Parable of the Yeast from Matthew 13. I have a query with this Parable. Normally in Bible, Man is the term used to represent humans(both man and women). Here in this parable “Women” is used. Does she represent EVE?

I suppose I’ve always believed Israel was God’s land and somehow is and one day be again His chosen. I’ve recently discovered I’ve been blissfully unaware of other ways of interpretation such as allegory especially related to prophecy. Israel IS still in God’s plan as far as a land and a Remnant in the last days, right?

In the case of the prodigal son, the son came back to the Father, but what if the son had died before he came back to his father? What if a Christian who left his faith died before he returned to his faith? Would he go to heaven or to hell?
