Corinthians 3:11) There is no other starting place, no other beginning,
no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is
Jesus Christ.....1 Corinthians 2:2) Paul speaking, said, "For I
determined, I purposed it and planned this, that when I came to you, I
was determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and
Him crucified.......
Jesus Christ and Him crucified; Jesus Christ blood, death, and resurrection is the only true foundation. It is
this truth believed and received that is our salvation and that all
other things we learn and do are built from and upon......
And, in all we
say, learn, and do, we unceasingly stay faith connected to the blood, death,
and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This is eternal life's
everlasting heart beat.
We should not go to any Church's or religions that do not agree or believe this Paul preached truth.......deno.

Preparing Our Children To Stand Before The Lord.....Family Devotions........deno......please share freely.
You
may not be called to be an evangelist as Billy Graham was and is to
take the gospel to the nations, but as a Christian you have been called
BY GOD to take the Word and gospel to your immediate family. Your wife,
your husband, your children, your mom and dad, are your daily garden
given you by God to till and water with the grace and gospel of Jesus
Christ.....
When your children stand before the Lord and they say, "but Jesus my mom and dad never told me that". What will you do? Friends in that day there is nothing we can do. All of us will stand before the Lord and give account to Him INDIVIDUALLY. What we can and must do for our children's now and Eternal future must be done today, now, in this life.....
Lord Jesus, baptized in your love may our hearts now be turned to our children to feed them the bread of life everlasting that your gospel is......And Jesus said to Peter, "Peter if you really love Me. FEED MY CHILDREN, MY SHEEP......Bible Story Books are great for family devotions.....deno

The Awesome Resurrection Miracle......This Fresh Light And Revelation Will Bless You.....deno.....please preach and share freely.
......Matthew 27:50 -54)....50) And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and gave up His spirit. 51) Then, behold, the veil of the temple God tore in two from top to bottom, and God caused the earth in that region of the world to shake violently. It shook so violently by the power of God that the rocks split.
52) NOW NOTE THIS AWESOME RESURRECTION MIRACLE....and THE GRAVES were opened all over the area and MANY (note that. Note that he wrote MANY, not a few but MANY), MANY BODIES of the SAINTS (probably those who had recently died. Remember Lazarus? Lazarus was in the grave for 4 days and Jesus said, Lazarus Come Forth. Lazarus spirit that had left that body, reentered that body and Lazarus body came back alive and boy did he have much to tell his family, friends, and the world. What a best selling book that could have been written. God quickened that body. God revived it's every cell with all their massive complexities and a new and incredible resurrection miracle testimony had now been freshly born on the earth).
Well here we have in verse 52 of Matthew chapter 27 a resurrection glory fact story even more awing than what went on in Lazarus' resurrection. We read in verse 52 that on the glorious resurrection day that God raised Jesus back up from the dead into paradise above. We read in verse 52 & 53 that AFTER Jesus was raised first from the dead, God also raised MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS from the dead. Many people in the area near Christ tomb and body where God's resurrection power and glory was poured out, great measures of the resurrection glory of God hit those dead bodies WITH GREAT PURPOSE in the surrounding area and God raised those saints from the dead. It says GOD RAISED "MANY" OF THEM UP. This means NOW on resurrection day, we have MANY LAZARUS types walking around Jerusalem. God is doing something. Keep reading.
Now as if that in itself was not awesome enough, God did not stop there. After God reunited those saints spirits with their bodies (temporarily) by His Mighty Life Giving Resurrection Glory and Power ON PURPOSE (James 2:26), it says that these people that God raised from the dead, they went into the city of Jerusalem and visited MANY people. They went, I believe, sent by God being that God on purpose resurrected them, and I believe God did that resurrection miracle and sent them to visit and talk about their experiences beyond the grave to the people in Jerusalem to fill the whole atmosphere of the city of Jerusalem with RESURRECTION SERMONS and RESURRECTION TALK and RESURRECTION TESTIMONIES for many days. After all (note this), THE DAY OF PENTECOST WAS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. Hello????
I mean many God raised from the dead to live out several more days on the earth among their family members, friends and in front of those who were not family, or friends, but they had only known them from a distance. BUT, ALL THESE PEOPLE, ALL OF THEM, WHETHER THEY WERE FAMILY, OR FRIENDS, OR JUST SOMEONE YOU BUMPED INTO NOW AND THEN, ALL OF THEM KNEW THAT NOT TO LONG AGO THESE PEOPLE HAD REALLY DIED and they knew it. MANY OF THEM WENT TO THEIR FUNERALS AND SAW THEM BURIED IN THE GRAVES. But now standing and preaching right in front of them about God, and about the things concerning Jesus Christ the Son of God, and about life after death, and things beyond the grave, here they stood fully alive, fully raised from the dead testifying to them in RESURRECTION REALITY........Mom, a child cries... Granpa's back. He's here in the living room. Just imagine what all went on with this mighty resurrection MIRACLE, that few have preached so little of.
So with the mighty visible testimony of these many saints that God raised from the dead and sent unto many in the city of Jerusalem, all of Jerusalem was FILLED with notable and indisputable evidence that dead people can come back to life again after being dead and in the graves for many days by the power of God. They saw them. They talked with them. They touched and handled them. Many of them even lived out more days, weeks, months and maybe even years together with some of these RISEN RESURRECTED PEOPLE. Why not then the Son of God but on a MORE GRANDER EVERLASTING SCALE?
God raised these saints from the dead temporarily to live on the earth to testify to His resurrection power and glory for a few more days, months, or maybe even years, but these would, after a while, their bodies would die again and they would be placed back into the tombs. But not Jesus and His Body. The body that God had prepared His Son (Hebrews 10:5) for the Cross of our redemption that was slung on the cross by a blind world, His body after God raised him from the dead was slung back up so to speak into heaven itself unto God the Father in an endless resurrection and glorious ascension, and God sat His Son back down in His Throne at His own right hand (Ephesians 1:16-20). He made Christ risen Body untouchable by death ever again. As it is written, Revelations 1:17-18) Fear not John, I am the first and the last. 18) I am He that lives and was dead, and behold, I AM ALIVE FOREVER MORE. AMEN.
So we conclude that with all these bodies of all those saints that God raised from the dead after He raised Christ up first, as the citizens of Jerusalem beheld these risen resurrected people for days, weeks, months and maybe even for years, in amazement, shock, and awe and heard them testify to life after death, and of the reality of the spirit world, and of God, and of the Angels, and of heaven and of hells realities (Read Luke 16:19-31), Note this which is about to be said and revealed,...... when Peter and the disciples on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-42) were filled with the Holy Spirit as Jesus promised a few days and weeks after the Lords resurrection, and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ blood, death, and resurrection, God had already (WITH THOSE SAINTS RISEN BODIES), and with their testimonies and with all that RESURRECTION TALK that had been going on thru out Jerusalem for days and weeks with clear visible evidence by the sight of those saints that God raised from the dead, God had prepped the hearts of many in the city of Jerusalem for the resurrection GLORY AND GOSPEL REDEEMING STORY OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.....scroll down. There's more.
Who knows friends, maybe even on the day of Pentecost, some of those saints that God raised from the dead and sent to many in the city of Jerusalem, it is very very possible that some of them were standing RIGHT THERE close to Peter giving even their great extra witness to Peters sermon amongst those hearing Peter proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and His Everlasting Resurrection.......With those risen people all around them that they knew had died but were BY GOD raised from the dead standing right there with them, God by Peter full of the Holy Ghost, proclaimed the RESURRECTION OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. With power and great glory and with a great resurrection witness of many that God had raised from the dead to prep Israel for the resurrection sermon that Peter preached on that soul winning day, THOUSANDS WERE MADE BELIEVERS AND GOT SAVED AND WERE CONFIRMED BY THE HOLY GHOST.....Amen......Hope this revelating light has opened your eyes and blessed you....To God be the glory......deno.......please, preach, teach, and share freely & graciously, esp. on those Easter Morning Services.

Truly This Man Was The Son Of God. Strange Things Going On Here. Granpa Had Died But Now He Is In The Living Room....deno.....please share freely
Matthew 27:50-54)..And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His Spirit. 51) Then at that moment, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth in that region shook violently, so much so that the rocks split. 52) and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had died (Probably recently had died) were raised back up (Remember Lazarus, HIS BODY WAS IN THE TOMB 4 DAYS AND JESUS SAID, "LAZARUS COME FORTH"....and he did)......
53) They came forth out of their graves AFTER Jesus was raised back to life. They went into the holy city of Jerusalem and appeared to many people. (Note this: What a sight that had to be. Hey Mom, Granpa's back. He's in the living room. Just imagine what those risen saints testified to. I'm convinced they spoke of many things. Things about Jesus, that he was and is the true Christ and Messiah, the Son of God. Things about God, Angels, Life after death. Things the prophets foretold of the Christ. Things about the place called Abraham's Bosom (Luke 16:22). Things about the reality of the SPIRIT WORLD, of heaven and of hell. Their temporary resurrection was not in vain. God did that ON PURPOSE and He sent them into the city on a mighty mission. He sent them to the people, to testify to the glory of God and of Jesus Christ the TRUTH, who is God's Son and our Savior).....
54) So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earth shake violently, and the things that had happened, they feared greatly and said, TRULY THIS MAN WAS THE SON OF GOD.
John 20:30-31) after His resurrection.....And truly Jesus did MANY OTHER SIGNS in the presence of His disciples, Things which are not written in this Book. vs 31) but these that we have written, are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that in believing you may have life in His Name....I believe Lord Jesus. Yes I Believe......Remember me Lord, when You come to take us home to the Father's House....deno.......God Bless You and Keep You In Christ Jesus No Matter How Dark The World Gets Out There In It's Blindness.....Amen.

The True Gospel Of God. The Gospel of Our Salvation. All Salvation and All the Gifts of Grace and of The Holy Spirit, All (Every One Of Them) Come To Us From The Cross of Christ and His Resurrection.....deno.....please share freely
As we look at this picture BELOW -scroll down-, much is revealed. In whatever you do in word
or in deed, Paul said, do all in the name of Jesus, and do not let anyone
pull you off or away from the message of His Cross (Galations 1:6-9)(Colossians 2:8-23)(1st Corinthians 1:23-24). A bottomless pit is
a long ways down.....
The apostle Paul preached it clearly. He preached that The Cross of Christ is the Wisdom of God. The Cross of Christ is the Power of God. The Cross of Christ and His Resurrection is the TRUE GOSPEL OF GOD....... AND the Cross of Christ is God's Greatest Sermon Ever Preached On Earth. All and I do mean all the words and all the sermons ever before preached by the Prophets of God before Christ, were the stepping stones OF THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST laid out to lead us ALL to the PULPIT OF GOD which was HIS OWN CROSS (Hebrews 9:26) the Cross of Christ. Jesus who was with God and was God and has always been in the GODHEAD (John 1:1-4)(John 17:5) preached the Message of His Cross Live In Great Agony and In His Own Blood. It is His most heart touching, personal message of all. IT IS A MOST VERY PERSONAL MESSAGE THAT HE IS MOST SENSITIVE TO.......
Thru the blood of His Cross we have redemption, salvation, peace with God, and life everlasting. Stay with the Cross of Christ and His Resurrection. Remain in the message of His Cross and Resurrection even as Noah HAD TO, HAD TO, HAD TO -STAY INSIDE -the saving, keeping, preserving, protecting power of the GREAT ARK in order to be saved. Noah would never have jumped ship. We are to never jump off or out of the Ark of the cross of Cross and his resurrection which is the TRUE GOSPEL OF OUR SALVATION (Read all the scriptures given above). Nor are we to allow ourselves to be taken away or pulled off THE MESSAGE OF HIS CROSS by subtle religious deceptions of some other way unto salvation or another beautiful sounding, ear itching FALSE GOSPEL......
If life and salvation could have come to us another way, OTHER THAN THE CROSS, Christ would have been spared. GOD SPARED HIM NOT (Romans 8:32) There was NO OTHER WAY. NO OTHER CUP THAT JESUS COULD DRINK THAT WOULD REDEEM US, RANSOM US, SAVES US, AND BRING US UNTO GOD SAFELY AND IN PEACE (Hebrews 10:4-14). THE CROSS AND THE SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST UPON IT UNTO THE FULL TASTE OF DEATH BY THE CHRIST WAS THE ONLY WAY, THE ONLY CUP. Jesus had to drink that CUP and drink it to the full. We to must drink the CUP of His blood, the blood of His Cross or we will not live (Read John 6:51-56). Jesus said to us, This is My blood, the blood of the New Covenant shed for many, Drink It. We drink in salvation and stay in eternal life by the daily absorption of unwavering faith in the Message of the blood, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. These THREE one and all came BY THE CROSS OF CHRIST. It is a spiritual absorption wrought by an unwavering believing heart that doubts not THE MESSAGE OF HIS CROSS AND RESURRECTION.
When we believe the gospel which means GOOD NEWS of the blood, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of God, THAT MESSAGE, the message of the death and resurrection of the Son of God is THRU GOD HIMSELF, IT IS BORN IN US and our spirits pass from death unto life with Christ (John 5:24 & Colossians 4:1-4). It is a spirit resurrection.
As real as the resurrection of the body of Christ was and is, SO ALSO THERE IS A RESURRECTION OF THE SPIRIT IN MAN. JUST AS REAL. IT IS CALLED "being Born Again (John 5:24)(Ephesians 2:1-10)(1st John 5:1-4)(Romans 10:9-10)....Jesus Loves You......deno
Some time ago these words rose up within me. It was like I heard them in an implanted understanding voice way. Bear with me.....Those words were.....Now follow and trace MY BODY from the Cross to the Throne and you can- by that sight -see and understand where you THE BELIEVING are, and what you have passed thru and have gone unto, in your spirit. For My Body traced from the Cross to the Throne is the revelation of the spirit of man passing from death unto life everlasting John 5:24 & Ephesians 2:1-10), back unto and into the Father in the NEW BIRTH. BEING BORN AGAIN. It is the death and resurrection of the BODY OF CHRIST formed and created in them in the hidden man of the heart, in the spirit. This truth just needs to be formed in their understanding in the other area of their inner self called the Mind or the Soul by UNDERSTANDING OBTAINED (See Ephesians 4:23-24)(Galations 4:19)(1st Thessalonians 5:23-24). LET ALL I WRITE BE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS AND TO THE SCRIPTURES THAT CANNOT BE BROKEN and to the love of the truth that is in Christ Jesus.
Note: Due to the hour we now live in in the grace periods of redemption, God is freshly raising up the Message of The Cross of Christ and His Resurrection for this blind, sin ridden generation. It is the Message of God for this generation that darkness is consuming with spiritual confusing. The Cross of Christ And His Resurrection Magnified and Lifted Up Has God's Drawing Power In It. It Is The Only True and Everlasting Life Hope. It Is To Be Preached To This Dead and Dying World of Lost Souls. The Time Is Short. Connect with those who are PREACHING THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST without compromise (Read 1st Corinthians 2;2).
The wrath of God is soon to be poured out from the heavens of God upon the earth. As Noah and his family needed the Ark for their salvation in the hour of God's judgements in their day, even so as it was in Noah's hour so it is again in our day. God has Himself built for us and provided for us the TRUE ARK that Noah's Ark Preached In A Mystery. That Ark is the Cross of Christ and His Resurrection. Those who believe and abide by faith in the blood, death ad resurrection of the Son of God Jesus Christ shall be saved (Romans 10:9-10). Faith, real believing bible faith in the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ is spiritual righteousness and spiritual true holiness (Ephesians 4:23-24). For it is written in Romans 14:23, WHATSOEVER is not OF FAITH is SIN....And it is also written , THAT FAITH JUSTIFIES AND MAKES RIGHTEOUS them that BELIEVE.......Romans 10:9-10).....Jesus Is Lord.....God Bless You.
The apostle Paul preached it clearly. He preached that The Cross of Christ is the Wisdom of God. The Cross of Christ is the Power of God. The Cross of Christ and His Resurrection is the TRUE GOSPEL OF GOD....... AND the Cross of Christ is God's Greatest Sermon Ever Preached On Earth.

UPDATED; The Entrance Into His Rest Is By Faith and Not By Works. We Enter Christ Life & Rest By Faith....It is Written......deno......please share freely.
Hebrews 3:12) Beware, brethren, lest there be in you and EVIL HEART of UNBELIEF in departing from the living God. (Note: Unbelief is the way of real departure from God. No longer believing.) vs 14) "For we are made partakers of Christ, (IF) we hold on to the BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE steadfast to the finish line".
Brethren let us recall some of Peters story to help us understand what it is to hold fast the beginning of our confidence STEADFAST TO THE FINISH LINE as we mentioned above. Peter started walking on the water to go to Jesus. He started out in faith. He began his course to Jesus on top of that water in faith and BY FAITH with zero doubt. Things were going great and he was high on life. He was walking by faith and not by sight. But something wrecked his confidence. Something caused his faith to start dangerously failing. Peter for faith killing reasons, he began to doubt. He began to doubt Jesus' Invitational Word to COME, and Peter began to doubt himself. That doubt, that UNBELIEF caused him to start to sink. He took his eyes off of Jesus and began to question, he began to doubt, and then doubts tormenting fear entered him and he lost his inner peace and he lost his souls rest. He began to sink.
When he was in faith nothing doubting, Peter was high on Jesus. But when doubt entered, fear that has torment oppressed him unto a major DOWNER SITUATION AND ATTITUDE. Nothing of or about Jesus changed. ALL the joy robbing stuff took place inside Peter. Real faith can make us very happy and excited in Jesus. But doubt and unbelief will rob us of that happiness and excitement. Lack of faith and confidence in Christ gives place to tormenting robbing fear. Peter, Jesus said. Why did you start doubting?
Such doubting turned Peter's Joy into Sorrow. His peace & confidence into dread and fear. Such doubt caused him to go from treading on top of the water to nearly drowning beneath it. His doubt made him enter SOUL UNREST. Jesus said to him, Peter why did you doubt? Peter did not keep the beginning of his confidence stead fast to the finish line.
Jesus Christ and him crucified and risen from the dead is the foundation, THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE that we BY FAITH are to stay connected to & attached to all the way to the finish line. Paul said Christ lives, dwells, and remains in our hearts BY FAITH (See Ephesians 3:17).

Lets note some faith and unbelief history of the children of Israel. Hebrews 3:16) For the children of Israel, after they were preached the gospel, rebelled (in unbelief). Indeed those who came out of Egypt, led by Moses (Even Arron) departed from God by doubt & unbelief (Remember the golden calf).
vs 17) Now with whom was God angry with for forty years? He was angry with those who sinned, whose bodies failed and died in the wilderness.
vs 18) And to what people did God swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those people who heard but DID NOT BELIEVE.
vs 19) SO WE SEE that they could not ENTER IN because of UNBELIEF......Notice that they could not enter (The Rest God had for them) because of their UNBELIEF). Who really can?
THEN IN CHAPTER 4 HE MAKES CLEAR THAT WE ENTER LIFE/THE PROMISE LAND, SOUL REST & PEACE, SOLELY by the ASSURANCE of FAITH. Faith in Christ blood.
(Hebrews 11:19( Having therefore brethren, BOLDNESS TO ENTER into the holiest (God's Full Presence) by the BLOOD OF JESUS....
vs 22) Having now entered BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, (entered where?) INTO THE HOLIEST (We are in Gods Presence Now, What is next?), vs 22) Let us draw near to Him (At the Throne of God) with a true (Believing) heart in FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH, having (knowing this) our hearts sprinkled from an unworthy conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water (We must believe this)...In other words we are fully assured that by the cleansing blood and water of Christ, EVEN BY that which flowed from HIS PIERCED SIDE & HANDS that sprinkled us, WE HAVE boldness and access with confidence to DAD AT THE THRONE (Ephesians 3:12). By the word and blood and by the Spirit of the redeeming gospel, of the Cross of Christ, by Christ and His blood, God hath MADE US accepted in the family of God HERE, and also by Christ blood, thru faith in His Blood, God as made us accepted AT His Throne THERE. So He says to us like Jesus said to Peter on the water, "COME" and COME BOLDLY:(Hebrews 4:16) (Ephesians 1:6). Hebrews 4:1-3). Do you doubt this?
Hebrews 4:1) Therefore, since a promise remains of entering HIS REST, let us fear lest any of you seem to come short of it. (There is no peace or boldness, or REST in doubt, in lack of confidence, or in UNBELIEF. All three are Joy robbers. Assurance killers. Soul tormenting agitators and Salvation enemies.)
vs 2) For indeed the (soul saving) gospel was preached to us as well as unto them; but THE WORD preached did not profit them, (Why?) NOT BEING MIXED WITH FAITH, in them that heard it. (They did not believe what was preached). (Jesus said those that believe the gospel (ENTER SALVATION) shall be saved (They Profit. They Enter Rest). But He said also that those that BELIEVE NOT (enter not into salvation) they shall be damned. Talk about ZERO REST (See Revelations 14:9-11). (Their unbelief destroyed and condemned them-Mark 16:16).
vs 3) But thank God we who HAVE BELIEVED do ENTER INTO REST......What rest? Vs 1 OF CHAPTER 4- His Rest. Christ Rest. His life of perfect peace with God). God is his God and God is our God. God is his Dad and God is Our Dad....See John 20:15-17).
So we see that in Hebrews 3:12 that unbelief is called evil and that by the sin of unbelief (Romans 14:23) people sink (Matthew 14:29-31), people fall away (2 Thessalonians 2:3), and people depart from the living God (Hebrews 3:12).
Hebrews 4:3) reveals to us that we who BELIEVE the gospel HAVE ENTERED into God and entered into Christ Rest.....And we everyday WALK BY FAITH and not by sight. By faith we stand. By blind faith? No, but by CONSTANT FAITH, CONFIDENCE, AND ASSURANCE in the blood, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as OUR DAILY WAY AND OUR CONSTANT SALVATION. This truth, this gospel of faith in Christ blood, death and resurrection remains in us and we remain in this truth with thankful hearts that believe God and in faith obey His Commandments......
vs 6) Seeing therefore it remains that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached DID NOT ENTER in BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF.....Since UNBELIEF keeps one from entering and causes one to fall away, and to depart from God; then it is correct to say by the word of the Lord which we have read in this blog, that BELIEF, believing the gospel preached NOTHING DOUBTING, is what causes us TO ENTER IN, and causes us to STAY IN soul rest and peace and joy, ever cleaving to Jesus, and remaining in Christ Jesus and He in us by abiding faith and trust obedience. As it is written, that Christ may dwell in your hearts BY FAITH (by your constant believing - Ephesians 3:17). This can also be prayed this way and be accurate in TRUTH, "that you would dwell and remain in Christ BY FAITH". (Read Romans 15:12-13 KJV). Amen......deno......please share freely.
Note....What we really believe with our hearts gives our hearts their convictions. When we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, we also are recognizing HIS GREAT AUTHORITY. He is Lord. He is the Lord from Heaven. Even as Paul preached, Jesus is God in the flesh. Knowing this. Believing this, we then learn to more to more bow down our lives to Him and obey His Words (1 Peter 2:1-2) and Lordship over our lives in the Peace and in the Rest His sacrifice gives us with the Father.
If we do not have real bible faith in Christ atoning, cleansing, purifying blood and sacrifice, then we will doubt almost everything. Are we saved by the Cross and blood of Christ and his resurrection? He that doubts says, hmmm, Not sure (No Soul Peace & Rest in that). Are we forgiven? He that is of a doubtful heart says, hmmm, Not sure (No Soul Peace & Rest there). Are we cleansed & made spotless by the blood of Christ? He that doubts says, I wish such were so but I am not really sure (No Soul Peace & Rest in that either), on and on it goes.
Those who are double minded about such things are unstable souls. Their doubt fills them with fear and lack of assurance. Their always in a sinking mode or condition within. They will resort to all kinds of things to drown their doubt and fear. They will go get circumcised thinking such would make them feel more saved and more accepted. IT WANT. They will skin their heads or not cut their hair thinking such has GREAT POWER TO SAVE and to make one accepted. IT WANT IF THEY DOUBT THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL THAT CHRIST PRECIOUS BLOOD SPEAKS......Christ died for our sins punishment and rose again for our newness of life and justification (Romans 4:18-25). This is the gospel. This is the saving message. This is the beginning of our confidence that by faith our hearts are to hold to steadfastly without wavering, all the way to the finish line. Jesus Christ alone is OUR ALL IN ALL.....deno.....God Bless You......please share freely.
Brethren let us recall some of Peters story to help us understand what it is to hold fast the beginning of our confidence STEADFAST TO THE FINISH LINE as we mentioned above. Peter started walking on the water to go to Jesus. He started out in faith. He began his course to Jesus on top of that water in faith and BY FAITH with zero doubt. Things were going great and he was high on life. He was walking by faith and not by sight. But something wrecked his confidence. Something caused his faith to start dangerously failing. Peter for faith killing reasons, he began to doubt. He began to doubt Jesus' Invitational Word to COME, and Peter began to doubt himself. That doubt, that UNBELIEF caused him to start to sink. He took his eyes off of Jesus and began to question, he began to doubt, and then doubts tormenting fear entered him and he lost his inner peace and he lost his souls rest. He began to sink.
When he was in faith nothing doubting, Peter was high on Jesus. But when doubt entered, fear that has torment oppressed him unto a major DOWNER SITUATION AND ATTITUDE. Nothing of or about Jesus changed. ALL the joy robbing stuff took place inside Peter. Real faith can make us very happy and excited in Jesus. But doubt and unbelief will rob us of that happiness and excitement. Lack of faith and confidence in Christ gives place to tormenting robbing fear. Peter, Jesus said. Why did you start doubting?
Such doubting turned Peter's Joy into Sorrow. His peace & confidence into dread and fear. Such doubt caused him to go from treading on top of the water to nearly drowning beneath it. His doubt made him enter SOUL UNREST. Jesus said to him, Peter why did you doubt? Peter did not keep the beginning of his confidence stead fast to the finish line.
Jesus Christ and him crucified and risen from the dead is the foundation, THE BEGINNING OF OUR CONFIDENCE that we BY FAITH are to stay connected to & attached to all the way to the finish line. Paul said Christ lives, dwells, and remains in our hearts BY FAITH (See Ephesians 3:17).

President Reagan ran for the Presidency 3 times before we finally elected him. After we did elect him, it was then that we the American people realized the special gift of inspirational leadership that was in him to be a GREAT PRESIDENT. Mitt Romney has that same gift on the inside of him. He really is the perfect candidate to be the leader this country needs to lead us out of these self inflicted wounds that we have let happen to us and to our Nation and it's liberties due to the lack of sincere American Pariotism, real leadership and experience that we so desperately need in this hour in America's condition and history...I hope Romney will run for the THIRD time like Ronald Reagan did. We need him and his manifold business and governing experience. America would be so blessed by the real leadership gifts that are in him......deno........ Red Rocks
