Galatians 5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness... When a man underfeeds his horse and then demands the horse pull his overloaded wagon, there is nothing wrong with the spirit of the horse. The man lacks the fruit of the spirit of gentleness.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering... No Christian can handle the losses and disappointments of life without longsuffering.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace... The kingdom of God, (within you/not with observation) is a kingdom of peace. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. As Christians, we preach the gospel of Peace and are called by God to live peaceably with

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love... If you're a born-again Christian, you don't have to manufacture your own love. God said love is a fruit that is given by Him. It's God's love, that He gives us. It is put in our hearts by the

It's been said that people typically find what they are looking for. And there is some truth to that. However, many times in life, people end up finding what they were NOT looking for. Remember Saul? He was looking to persecute disciples of the Lord. Watch what happens to him:

Romans 7:4-5 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh,

Legalistic reasoning requires conformity to external rules and brings about a false sense of spirituality! The correct order of law is HOW holiness and true spirituality is achieved in the legalistic mindset. External conformity becomes the measuring stick for spirituality. This was the error of the Pharisees and is an

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. It's certainly a biblical principle to hold up and test all things through the filter of God's word. All Christians should understand and practice this command from the Lord. However, this verse is used by the legalist

The Bible teaches biblical separation, NOT biblical isolation! The following 5 New Testament scripture verses clearly expresses God's desire for biblical separation. ...ye cannot be partakers... 1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's

Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Those that live after the flesh will be on the hunt to mock, antagonize and look down on those living after the Spirit. The

Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Ephesians 1 gives us 2 fundamental truths concerning the church: Christ is the

It's a funny thing... Some Christians can easily spend $30 a week on fast food, but can't spend $30 a week on missions. A lot of Christians will spend 2–3 hours a day mindlessly scrolling social media, but can't spend 2–3 hours a week with their local church's

Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Christians should make every effort they can to keep peaceful unity. Because believers have the Holy Spirit, this shouldn't be a hard thing to do. However, it's a fact of the ministry, that some

1 Timothy 2:13 (KJV)  For Adam was first formed, then Eve. God created 2 clear and distinct genders. Adam, a male; Eve, a female. This God given distinction of only 2 genders was NOT a result of the fall of man. It was how God specially and specifically created

Luke 2:33 (KJV) And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him. The Holy Spirit offered 100% protection concerning the doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ, by being very specific and saying: “Joseph and his mother" in Luke 2:33 However, both the

1. Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with

STOP wasting time getting upset and stressed out at the way lost people react to you when presented with the truth of the gospel. Born again Christians should expect sinners to be confrontational. I was, when first confronted with the gospel. Additionally, expect sinners to act irrational and to say

If you stand for truth, expect to have enemies. Below are 3 reasons why men and women resist truth. Reason #1: The truth brings light. Light exposes people for who they really are. People hate to be exposed. John 3:19-20 And this is the condemnation, that light is come

Christ didn't come in a gift box, covered with pretty wrapping paper with a big bow on top. Instead, he came wrapped in swaddling clothes and was born in a dirty manger. He then lived a clean, pure and sinless life, among the filth of mankind. Then, he gave his

There are 2 Bethlehems in Israel. The Old Testament prophesied that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem Ephratah. Micah 5:2 But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in
