    1. Spritual gifts are not natural talents. 2. Spritual gifts are different. 3. Spritual gifts are not given to an elite few. They are not a sign of spiritual maturity. 4. Spritual gifts are not fruits of the Spirit. 5. Spritual gifts are not showy. Read more »

    powerful1 added a text contribution No Complaining
    My joy is not determined by what happens to me but what Christ is doing in me and through me. Joy is about working out what God has already worked in. Do everything without complaining or arguing. - Phil. 2:14. When we complain it is a insult to the character of Christ. Christ is not a complainer nor does He argues. Everybody sees their thing as the exception to everything. Happiness is the... Read more »

    Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: I need a attitude adjustment. My current attitude just does not line up with the attitude Jesus has. The scripture says my attitude should be the same as Jesus's attitude which means I need to adjust my attitude to reflect my Savior. I will start today. Read more »

    Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. I must be honest. I have not conducted myself in a worthy manner. I have conducted myself in a way that would bring shame to His Name and not Glory. Thank God for His forgiveness. Thank Him for His mercy which are new every morning. Every day I get a chance to get it right. Jesus is what I live for. I gotta keep... Read more »

    powerful1 added a text contribution Who is the Church For?
    There is always a pull for the local Church to attract Church people not those on the outside. The Church wants everyone to be like those who belong to it. People need to be members of the Church and they must be circumcised or meet some other requirements in order to belong. Club oriented. 10 “So why are you now trying to out-god God, loading these new believers down with rules that crushed our... Read more »

    If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations--21 Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)--according to human precepts and teachings? This Scripture is so timely for me. There are some things I have handled, tasted and touched that I should not have.... Read more »

    powerful1 added a text contribution KillSwitch
    Sin flips the kill switch on life and potential. When I am dead in my sins my relationships suffer. Sin makes someone who was to influence the world and puts them in survival mode. Sin separates us from our communion with God. We are banished from His presence. Our sin habits enslave us. God made us alive in Christ. We are raised with Christ in victory. Freedom is in Christ. Christ killed... Read more »

    powerful1 added a text contribution Religion Lies
    Religion makes us think we are better than everyone else. The people who gave Jesus the most trouble are the ones at the top of the religious heap. The main traits of being superior, judgemental and unloving are what the world sees from most Christians. Religion always compares itself to others. Religion creates a list of sins to keep score. You can tell you make God in your own image when it... Read more »

    1 Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; 2 so she said to Abram, “The Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her.” Abram agreed to what Sarai said. As I was reading this The Holy Spirit revealed to me that Sarai did not think enough of God to think that God and God alone... Read more »

    God thru the very first verses of Genesis showed me there has to be a separation of light and darkness. If my life is going to be honored by God I must know and do this. Once God spoke Man into existence He then spoke over him. God's purpose is now known because of what He spoke over man. God fully expects us to master the sin in our lives. Sin keeps me from producing more. God's desire for me... Read more »

    1. Faith is governed by laws and principles but cannot be condensed into a magic formula. God is way too big to be condensed. 2. Our faith is not in our faith but in the Faith of our God. Jesus is the Only Faithful One. Not me. Sometimes I am not faithful. Jesus is always, always Faithful. My success is not and will not be because of me but because of God. 3. Faith is not a drug to sedate me... Read more »
