Jimmy Tan replied to Ana Teixeira's discussion 'Works'

I like the sharings here. I myself have been dealing with self-consciousness and sin-consciousness when I was born again a few years ago. Even after I attended a grace-based church since 2003, I have been learning to look away from self and not be...

Hi Ana! Your English is very good! Thanks for sharing your heart here. I like what Lennart and Howard have said. Indeed it's true that we are saved by grace and we don't need to work for our salvation. In the same way, that's how we live the rest...

Ana, You are dealing with 2 issues in your post. 1. Works as a Christian and 2. Your work at your place of employment The first is easy. Our work for Jesus should come from the excitement of loving Jesus. You do things because you love him, not ...

Hello everybody. I have been thinking and struggling with something. I know that we are saved by grace and we don't need to work for our salvation. That means that when it comes to my salvation, I don't trust in what I do, but in what Christ did f...

HOWARD SCHULTZ replied to Frank's discussion 'The unforgivable sin'

Frank, thanks for yours back. Quite simply, we are led by the Holy Spirit in direct communication with God the Father. You have left the foundation, and moved onto life 1 x 1x 1 x 1 always = one. that is why Jesus said he was and is one with the F...

Close Encounter Of The Fourth Kind

I have a facebook friend, C who loves to post quotes by famous people (most of whom ironically I have never heard of) which sometimes sound reasonable and true at first but as I think about them more deeply, I find the quotes do not reflect the truth. I have disagreed with and rebutted so many famous people's quotes (posted by C) on facebook that people probably think that I'm trying to be (or am) a smart aleck.

Anyway, C recently put up a quote which I again disagree with:

There are only two… Continue

ONCE I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I CAN SEE!!!!! WOW!

As I listened in on the international grace party this morning, my heart was full of such joy, which is still fully manifesting in my heart as I type this. I cannot even put into words the joy that I feel since entering into this wonderful revelation of the Grace and freedom of God. For thirty years I thought I was free, even though I didn't feel free...hahaha, but now that the Lord has removed the scales from my eyes and I see with the heart, I am totally overwhelmed at His amazing love. I want… Continue

Can We Separate Lord From Saviour?

Last night, I had an interesting little "debate" with a facebook friend, C over a quotation which he posted:

We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord. (Vance Havner)

I have written a few posts discussing why there is no such thing as "Cheap Grace" before (see here, here and here), so this time I was foc… Continue
