I am very thankful for this communication site where believers have so much heart for the Gospel, our heads go astray but our heart for the Gospel is here to stay. God Bless
The Gospel is meant to share not store up to ourselves.
We need to take ownership.
Here is two verses I will attempt to draw a picture of the way we "play Christianity"
Consider these two verses in 1 John and James. next the other posted scriptures and then I will explain where we need to take ownership. So please bare with me.
1 John 3:17. and James 2:15-16.
Luke 19:10. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
2 Corinthians 5:15. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
Matthew 5:14-15. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Ephesians 2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
I'm sure we're familiar with the slothful servant in the parable in
Luke 19:20-26.
NOW YO MY POINT.
We complain so much especially here in the US of America. about the spiritual decay and gross sin dating back to Slavery!! AND ALL THAT MATTERS IS WE HAVE THE GOSPEL STORED IN OUR HEART. Brother and Sisters getting it out undefiled should be top priority to the lost. In a way it parallels with the examples presented in
1 John 3:17. and James 2:15-16.
It's so much we all can do together if what's in our heart generated work rather a SHOW of Holiness.
WHAT'S THE POINT REASONING SCRIPTURE TO SOMEONE ABSENT OF THE SPIRIT?
THEY NEED IN THEM WHAT'S WORKING IN US!!
1 Corinthians 2:14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
S Spencer I believe your anger is misplaced have read your scripture references missing context somewhere so okay if my mistake prayerfully you'll forgive me. I'm endeavoring to follow Ephesians 4:29, not saying I always hit the target.
S Spencer Brother I never considered your responses were not in accordance with the Heart of The Gospel in mind and I appreciate all input concerning any of my mental glitches. That being said brother onto furtherance of the Gospel. God Bless.
You've been a blessing from what I have seen. I had to go back and look at my message and it did look aimed at you and I apologize, I was using what you said to urge the brethren to contend for the faith and move on to maturity. It was an opening, but I should have been careful the way I presented it so it wouldn't seem personal, Let there light shine on Him that's in the midst of the LAMPSTAND.
I urge us to be careful because these attacks is not flesh and blood.
And I read your post concerning this as well. And it is true.
I believe Some is put on this site to teach if not it wouldn't be under such attacks.
I believe Satan is behind the scene on the distractions and lack of focus on the Gospel.
Ephesians 5:6-11. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Here's a look at a hypocrite.
Matthew 23:25-26. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Regeneration is in the HEART!! and will be manifested in our walk.
I Speak with a since of urgency but not directly to you, Sorry if it Sounded that way I was using the current strife that's been on the site and tense debating as an example of spittual deficiency.
We forget how we received what we received. It's by the Spirit of God that eyes are open, It's by the working of the spirit we are sanctified and fruitful for the ministry. Jesus said in
John 16:12-13. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Jesus commanded the desciples to wait on the spirit before he sent them out.
He also taught them through the washing of the feet.
He often said those who have ears to hear let them hear.
Our walk and kindness to one another is not by our effort it's by being connected.
And we haven't seen that connection at large! Our validation is not on our well versed presentation, We can read and search the scripture daily for a thousand years without conviction and a conversion and all we get is the letter and be as blind as the jews at Christ coming.
Our life is a testimony that Christ is in us because true conversion brings fruit and our works follow.
This is a site where we don't have to go out to evangelize. This is a site where the lost come to us and they should see Christ in us as in John 13:35.
We are the laborers, everyone is not going to accept the Gospel, but we work
when the job is not getting done whether by our walk or by mouth, God will judge his Church.
We're either hot, cold, or luke warm.
Again my message is for the brothern to contend for the faith! And not be lured into vain babbling. Use what talents we have and earn more. And be vigilant everyone amongst us is not with us. The truth will manifest them.
What comes out the mouth comes from the heart,
The Gospel is meant to share not store up to ourselves.

Love is not hiding the Gospel it's presenting it.
God bless.
The furtherance of the Gospel is what it is all about,
Brothers and Sisters let hold and do our best.
GOD BLESS.
