Many believers lack assurance. Since we live in a performance oriented society, we often transfer this expectation from the world into our religious expectations. The problem with this expectation is that "our salvation is not based upon our own performance, but on our relationship to Jesus Christ." (Billy Graham)

I Just Don't Get It!

But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. (1 Corinthians 2:14 NLT)

How Good Was Your Friday?

By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God's command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

Eternity of Hell - Torments

bob@cmfhq.org (Bob Flynn) — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:00:00 GMT
