So many claim to be Christian, yet so few actually are. It is in the time of testing you will see who is willing to step out on faith, and who isn't. Look at the millions of Jews murdered through the ages, where were the Christians then? The true believers did take action, and they prayed diligently for those who suffered and died. As for Mr. Wright, he is preaching a doctrine contrary to the gospel. His words are emotionally charged and have stirred up the wrong kind of reaction from everyone. His skin color is irrelevant;he seems to be fired up over the corruption of a crooked and perverse generation. If he belonged to Christ, he would handle these issues biblically. Let us never forget our most prized weapon of defense, the sword of the Spirit, the word of God. This man doesn't produce fruit in keeping with repentance. Wayne, do you know Obama's stance on same sex marriage? On abortion? Why do you defend a man who opposes God's word? Remember the words of Christ, "Whoever does not hate his father or mother, sister or brother,etc. is not worthy of me." Let's defend God's word,not race. |

YES, we should seek Him, and strive to enter through the narrow gate, as believers, we do this. As a lost sinner, we do not seek God, we run the other way because of our wicked, rebellious hearts. I am not sure of your point; I agree we should seek the Lord, and as believers we do. This is an ongoing, continual process for all who are born again. Did you seek the Lord when you lived in sin? Did you inquire of Him when you were sinning against Him? If you did, you are a rarity. From my own personal experience, I avoided the bible, church, and Christians; until the Lord drew me and humbled me, I never wanted anything to do with Christ. It is at His drawing that we seek, not on our own 'whim'. When He draws, we seek, it is simultaneous. |

nl. again, you are not reading what God has written, the bible says 'none seek God'; until He draws us, we rebel. It is when He draws and humbles that produces seeking. Without His doing so, we are not able to seek Him. The ten virgins pertain to believers, half of which are truly born again, and the other half think they have salvation, but they've never repented and received Christ, they do not have the Holy Spirit living in their hearts. The oil represents the anointing, the Holy Spirit. We cannot 'work' for this, it is given in the new birth. Christ is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. The rich young ruler went away because he refused to give up his wealth and follow Christ. God produces the works we do, not us. Again, read what God has given, Romans 3:11, John 6:44; these passages contradict your claim we must work continually to seek the Lord for His salvation. Lost sinners cannot seek a God they rebel against until He has made the FIRST MOVE!!! He draws, and humbles, THEN we seek. Please do not rob God of the glory due Him by trying to take credit for His salvation plan. |

kenny, excellent post, perhaps a better choice of words would be one we find in scripture, 'We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God' {2 Cor. 5:20} to be reconciled means to 'return to favor with, to receive one into favor'. Let's remember, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us, therefore, God loved us even when we didn't love Him. So God desires for us to be reconciled to Him, to have favor with Him, not to be in a 'lovey dovey' relationship. When we stick with His word, then we get the proper understanding of who He is and what it is He wants and desires. |

America has been blessed by God, and is by far a better choice than most other nations, but Christians have lost sight of the real battle. We must boldly profess the gospel, in love, to a lost and dying world. Only God knows if we are nearing the end of the age; it certainly appears to be so...nevertheless, we have work to do. I don't complain about this country, I pray for it. Even with the upcoming election, we seem to have no real choice. God has abandoned a nation that continues to turn her back on Him. There is a dire need for Christians to unite, pray, and proclaim God's truth from sea to shining sea. We must live a life worthy of the calling we have received to make a difference, and many are not. Let us pray for a revival - starting with each one of us, and spilling out into those around us. |

May I add that those who adhere to church doctrine over God's authoritative word are guilty of great sin. We should NEVER add to or take away from God's word {Deut. 4:2, "You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you"}. I do not find these 'new sins' listed in God's word anywhere. No one can create 'new sin',for there is nothing new under the sun. Those who put church doctrine first must repent of their sins. If what is preached from pulpits everywhere cannot be backed with scripture, then do not follow it! Search the scriptures daily, and pray for God to save you. Without His saving grace drawing you to Christ and humbling you in Godly sorrow {2 Cor. 7:10}, you are still lost in sin. This is sound advice from J.C. Ryle, 'Let us beware of any teaching in which the main thing is an incessant exaltation of the church, the ministry, or the sacraments, while such grand verities as repentance, faith, conversion, holiness, are comparatively left in a subordinate and inferior place.' |

John, I mean no disrespect, but if you believe an altar call means the truth is being preached, you are incorrect. Have you seen the video of this pastor on youtube? It was also on The O'Reilly Factor, and Glenn Beck. This pastor spews out hate, for America and for whites. Google this man's name and watch for yourself! If Obama defends what God's word opposes, that is a sin. Clarity and discernment on what God is for and against are found in His word, and by praying first before reading, you will gain understanding {if you have repented of your sins and been born again}. There are many deceptive churches who 'appear Christian' on the outside, they even use some scripture to fool people, but they do not preach the whole counsel of God. We live in a time of great apostasy and deception, which is another reason why those of us who belong to Christ must meditate upon His word. I pray you do this. Read Leviticus 18:22, or 1st Corinthians 6:9-10 concerning homosexuality. |

John, May I ask you a question? If you are truly born again, why would you want to attend a church that does not teach the truth? Fellowship with true believers is essential in our growing process. Granted, there are 'bad seeds' in every denomination, and salvation is not based on loyalty to any certain denomination. In my own personal experience; when God saved me, He then moved me out of the Lutheran church and into a Baptist church, not because Baptists are superior, but because the pastor of the church preaches the whole counsel of God's truth. By God's doing, I desire to feed my spirit, and my old church was nothing but rituals and empty worship. Everyone had the warm fuzzies after Sunday morning service, but inside I was starving to death. This was God's prompting me to go elsewhere. Truly, the Lord will lead you if you seek Him on this matter. Everything happens by His timing for our good and His glory, God bless you as you walk with Christ! |
