It is definitely important today when the world is diluting and confusing Truth.<br /><br />The church today, just by following Biblical principles and patterns, should easily become distinguishable and separate from the world.<br /><br />When people look at the church, they should see something that is starkly different than from what the world offers.Glory to Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506057108573562163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347044572783936128.post-63883016987627998652010-12-14T23:16:09.727-06:002010-12-14T23:16:09.727-06:00A great video and a great message!

I know I can't take credit for anything that God Himself has done in me. In fact, I think there are many times when I could say that I was actually fighting Him when I should have been cooperating with Him. And I still find that I do that.<br /><br />But praise God, He is so patient. I definitely want to be affected by His Spirit to show everyday that I belong to Him.<br /><br />Great message!Glory to Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506057108573562163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347044572783936128.post-68858892524177669432010-09-13T13:08:29.631-05:002010-09-13T13:08:29.631-05:00Great post, Todd.

While Scripture makes it clear that we are to "speak the truth in love", that is not the same as "speaking the truth only-after-you've-made-them-feel-good-about-themselves." <br /><br />Jesus spoke truth lovingly and kindly to those who came to him seeking truth (Samaritan woman, centurion, etc...). However, He spoke the truth with directness and a stinging bite to those who came trying to undermine the truth (pharisees, etc...).<br /><br />Jesus, of course, had the advantage of knowing their individual hearts. We need to pray for wisdom before we speak to be sure we are speaking the truth as Christ would want.<br /><br />Good stuff, thanks for your insight.Michael Ghttp://www.turnupthemic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347044572783936128.post-39575827456841521242010-09-11T23:34:10.163-05:002010-09-11T23:34:10.163-05:00Todd -

It eliminates the reading aspect of some blogs that get wordy. :)<br /><br />I do like this series. It's helping me see witnessing in a clearer way. I do think, just like you mentioned here, that we need to boldly proclaim Jesus without trying to mask or package our Savior so we don't offend.<br /><br />The NT often says that Jesus will be a stumbling block (stone) and a rock of offense. I'll be looking forward to you preaching on this part in Romans 9!<br /><br />Great post!Glory to Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506057108573562163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347044572783936128.post-12665556035965067592010-09-11T08:58:24.879-05:002010-09-11T08:58:24.879-05:00I do believe that faith comes from God as a gift u...I do believe that faith comes from God as a gift upon hearing the message of Christ, and that it is necessary for salvation. And yes, I do believe God regenerates a person inwardly to enable them to express their faith outwardly. However, this process of salvation (order of events that occur when God saves someone) is so "split-secondish" that often an unintended consequence of such microscopic examination is division among people who all share in the joy of god's amazing work in salvation. That is not my goal. But neither is my goal to diminish any of the glory due God by snagging even one ounce of credit from his work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199853435826789915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347044572783936128.post-10404910239575151192010-09-09T12:27:14.170-05:002010-09-09T12:27:14.170-05:00This is encouraging.

I personally think I can do more with extending mercy and forgiveness knowing all that Christ has forgiven me.<br /><br />But what would you say to the person that has been hurt badly many, many years ago? It has caused emotional scars that for this believer has been hard to forgive. How can one encourage a believer in this case when anything and everything you say about grace and forgiveness, they already know?Glory to Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506057108573562163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6347044572783936128.post-79639068592587904782010-05-28T09:55:33.112-05:002010-05-28T09:55:33.112-05:00Todd,
