<title>The Natural Man Receiveth Not the Things of the Spirit</title>

<description><![CDATA["Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 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." In these things spoke of, the things that we speak, concerning Christianity, are not of things taught by man whose discernment of the spiritual is non-existent.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I started thinking about the kind of people Jesus looked for and associated with when He walked the earth in human form. Curiously, none of them seemed to even remotely match the description of that guy from the political commercial. Perhaps Jesus was looking for folks who were much different from what the average voter would look for.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Assuming that the Christian religious figurehead known as Jesus Christ or Jesus of Nazareth actually existed, and that is not a given by any stretch of the imagination, then the odds are, IMHO, that he was just another mortal human. In other words, he was not an immortal supernatural deity, the alleged 'Son of God'.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Typically if you would ask someone what is love, his response might be simpler to this, love is a funny feeling you get in side of you, you might break out in sweat when that person is around, your heart beats funny, your eyes get glossary, you think about the person all the time, or you might get tongue tied when that person is near.

Peace and righteousness are harmonisation's engineers. Peace and righteousness are the deft creators of harmony's finery. Peace and righteousness are chisels in the hands of God.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What an awful "If ONLY" cry from the heart this is! Here, I face a serious subject - deep remorse. And I aim to help you get out of those depths, even if that does not sound possible. Many people have done all manner of things, and then suffered deep regret. They were led perhaps by the thrill, the lure, the sheer wickedness seemed so enticing - or into an argument, or whatever, and now they live with regrets. Perhaps there is just one particular thing - that one sin that ruined everything. And now you are left with haunting memories and consequences. In this article I am trying to do two things. The first is to help you see the big picture of what you have done. You may find this insight helpful. The second is to share what may bring some measure of peace and understanding to your heart and mind.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What is Voodoo REALLY? Is it just something that you see in the movies or is it an actual religion? Voodoo is actually a very old religion. It is very complicated and very secretive. Voodoo has many more followers than people realize.

It is recorded at Ephesians 2:14, that Christ has broken down the middle wall of partition between the Jews and the Gentiles, that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, God's will is to have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Church hurts are common and they have been in every age of two millennia. This is no mystery when we strip God away from religious activities - whether it's church leadership or schisms of members.

<pubDate>Thu, 17 May 2012 10:04:07 -0500</pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[As to follow Christ's example and teaching - give good words back to those that give you bad words. Bless them by praying for them. Continue to keep a forgiving spirit as does your Lord. Be genuinely happy for those that God's bounty has blessed. Rejoice with them. Be compassionate and sympathize with those who are burdened or are suffering. Help them bear it. 	By all means, try to stay in peace and good will with all people. Pray for their blessing, as you do for your own. High things include popularity, power, wealth. Do not pursue favor from those who possess them. Also, don't seek public acclaim or fame. These all lead to abandoning your conscience, and no longer living by the truth of your worth and faith. On the other hand, be a companion of the poor and humble and Godly person. Certainly at that time in the past, Christians were despised and rejected by the majority of people. Be careful not to puff yourself up in your own opinion of yourself. Don't think that wisdom and discernment are yours more than others. Be aware of your need for others, for help and understanding.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Who or what can separate the faithful followers of God and His Son, from that love, with which God and His Son first loved them? God's love for us is so certain that there is no possibility of change. What God provides us with in adoption and blessing furnishes us with strength to persevere. Persecutions, tribulations, all kinds of distress cannot destroy this. Paul's list covers nearly all possible deprivations, and even death (by the sword, the common method of mete-ing out of a death sentence), as was Paul's fate.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Paul draws together all he has written about Jews and Gentiles separately about spiritual and carnal life. Now he addresses both together concluding all his statements on this subject. Beginning in this verse, he continues to the end of this chapter. 'Therefore brethren', he is addressing born again believers. The thought he continues in verse 13. As believers, you are no longer to live after the flesh, to inherit death. If you have chosen the other path through God's Spirit and the Gospel of Christ, you can resist the 'deeds of the body' with the spiritual help of faith and the power of the Spirit, then eternal life is your inheritance.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[To describe the law as spiritual, goes beyond rites and ceremonies, and guidelines of morality to the inner part of man - the heart and soul. It includes the thoughts, desires, and temptations and declares them as sin, contrary to God's eternal truth and nature. It includes no hope of reprieve or pardon. This provides the knowledge of man's sinful condition. The Gospel provides the cure. When he describes himself as carnal, sold under sin, he means his condition before his conversion. This expression is the strongest one used in the Scriptures to describe the full extent of the depravity of fallen humanity. It implies willing slavery without the power to disobey its rule. In Roman times, slavery was a common practice. Sin is described as a person having the mastery over his legal slave (bondage to sin). Christ came to change this. 'Whom the Son maketh free, they are free indeed.' (John 8:36.) 'For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.' (Romans 8:2.) For a slave to be released required redemption which he could not provide for himself.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The popularity of atheism has become well established. High-profile exponents are intelligent, articulate and have large, confident followings. In this brief article, I aim to look at the main reasons for the appeal of atheism and then offer a concise evaluation. I shall try to be as fair-minded as I can, and I shall try to be sympathetic to those who find atheism a support for the meaning they find in our humanity and the cosmos. In conclusion, I shall try to show why the basis of the appeal is insufficient to warrant the high degree of confidence that many people place in it, and offer a simple alternative.]]></description>

Therefore, pray for your leaders that they will be strong to defend the gospel and refute error, and be willing to rebuke those who cause division. If you are a leader, take fresh courage from these verses. If you are strong-minded and have the potential to cause division within a fellowship, be warned and decide to change.]]></description>

As a hero, I am passionate about faith, people, even politics. I do everything in my power to make a difference where I can, to speak out, and to step out. The problem is that this is a very small world. The world in which I am a silent coward is much bigger, and I tend to spend most of my time in this world. It is an easier world, where I am not bothered by the woes and needs of those around me, where faith has very little impact, and where stepping out simply means getting some fresh air.]]></description>
