Feeling the Closeness of God Like Kids
December 11, 2007 Comments Off on Feeling the Closeness of God Like Kids

Q&A: Legalism has caused me to lose my closeness with God.:“When you read Paul’s letters, for example, make sure you notice how he always establishes the reality of who the believers really are. In Ephesians 5, Paul is addressing the believers as ”beloved children“ (v1), ”saints“ (v3), NOT ”sons of disobedience“ (v6&7), ”formerly darkness, but NOW you are light in the Lord“ (v8). His admonition was for the believers to live like the believers they were.”This is an excellent article encouraging others not to feel legalism has forever stripped them of their feeling of closeness of God.

Real Peace Because Jesus Took Away the Bad
November 25, 2007 Comments Off on Real Peace Because Jesus Took Away the Bad

Q&A: What about the sanctification mentioned in Hebrews 12:14?:“t sure couldn’t be the old performance-based sanctification they were resorting to because that bogus sanctification had no power over sin…. Because there is NO real peace we can have with one another unless it is based upon the peace established by Christ in breaking down the barriers between us. In 1 Corinthians 2:2 Paul writes: ”For I determined to know nothing among you except Christ, and him crucified“. This is the same thing referred to by the writer of Hebrews because ”pursuing“ this sanctification is the determination to see all things in view of it.”

What is Prayer Really?
November 23, 2007 Comments Off on What is Prayer Really?

Q&A: Tell me about your prayer life!:“ I count on God’s Spirit to interpret the desires of my heart … for it is one with Christ…. From within my heart – that new one created in Christ – I am always in communion and communication with God…. To have thought that my ”praying“ caused me to enter God’s throne only conflicted with the work of Christ in having already done it for me!”

McKinley Health Center – Dietary Sources of Iron – University of Illinois:“The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for iron for non-vegetarian pre-menopausal women is 18 mg/day….

November 14, 2007 Comments Off on God Doesn’t Lay Guilt Trips

Q&A: Formulating an argument against the responsibility guilt tri:“Of course, even when believers are ”guilted“ into something our Father is able to cause this to work out for their good…. I have a question though: Why do you think God is in the business of convicting believers of disobedience when, in fact, He only ministers grace and life to us in Christ …… Somehow, we have misread the passage in John 16:7-11 so that we have assumed that this ”conviction“ is directed toward those rescued OUT of the world, instead of toward the unbelieving world itself.”
