LITT SURDEIG GJENNOMSYRER HELE DEIGEN. Del 2 Vanlig surdeig synes ikke med det blotte øyet, men vi ser kun resultatet. Deigen vokser og blir til brød eller annen gjærbakst. Jeg tror det er denne skjulte synden som Paulus snakker om, den som ikke synes, men som både Gud og djevelen ser. Det finnes dessverre kristne ledere som er gifte, men som har fått barn med andre kvinner og det har pågått over tid. Jeg vet om flere. Det kan til og med skje når en er ute og har store kristne ...

A LITTLE LEAVEN PERMEATES THE ENTIRE DOUGH.

A LITTLE LEAVEN PERMEATES THE ENTIRE DOUGH. Part 2 No human being is perfect. Jesus was the only person who was without sin. That was the reason why He could become the perfect lamb that was slain for our redemption. Every born-again Christian has a perfect spirit. If Jesus should come back right now, we would go with Him even if we had some wounds and some spots in our soul. We read in Philippians 2:12 that we should work on our soul’s salvation. That’s a life-long process. You cannot see ... (read more)

A LITTLE LEAVEN PERMEATES THE ENTIRE DOUGH. Part 1 This text is taken from first Corinthians 5:6. The apostle Paul continues to say that we should purge out the old leaven so that we can become a new lump. In verse 9 he says that we should not keep company with sexually immoral people. He is making a distinction between those calling themselves Christians and those living in the world. Those in the world is judged by God, but we should not keep company with anyone named brother, who is sexually ... (read more)

HOW ARE CHRISTIANS ATTACKED AND PERSECUTED?

HOW ARE CHRISTIANS ATTACKED AND PERSECUTED?   Some people talk about demonic attacks all the time and others think that they are martyrs when some people are against them. I have some thoughts that I want to share with you. I first of all want to say that Christians are much more persecuted than both media and politicians want to admit. I live in Sweden and I am also familiar with things going on in Norway as well. At the other end we have to admit that Christians might act in a sinful or ... (read more)

BE YOURSELF!

BE YOURSELF!   Why do I choose this tittle? I first of all ask The Holy Spirit to give me a tittle every time. Another reason is the fact that I see so many people trying very hard to please people. They want so badly to be accepted. I could just say that they have to stop doing that, but I will go deeper into the subject. Every person is unique and every person is created by God. Yes, I do know that we are the product of an intimate relationship between a man and a woman, but I still ... (read more)

WHO AND WHAT IS RULING MY THOUGHTS? PART 2

WHO AND WHAT IS RULING MY THOUGHTS? Part 2   I will go deeper into the material from last time and will start with the family.What did your parents say about you when you were in the womb of your mother? They might have had plans for your appearance and what sex they wanted. They might even had dreams about your choice of vocation. Some parents want the children to complete the dreams they couldn´t do themselves. If the child was not planned, it might not be wanted, but abortion is not an ... (read more)

WHO AND WHAT IS RULING MY THOUGHTS? Part 1 “ My thoughts are my thoughts”, you might say, and that is true, but who has planted them into you? Some people are against Christian schools and one of their arguments is that they want the children to have a neutral education. They are afraid the children could become brainwashed. When I look at t upbringing of their own children, it is far away from neutral. I remember when I worked as a social-worker in the seventies, many of my colleagues had ... (read more)

WHAT KIND OF PROMISES AND CONTRACTS HAVE YOU MADE DURING YOUR LIIFE?, Part 2

WHAT KIND OF PROMISES AND CONTRACTS HAVE YOU MADE DURING YOUR LIFE? Part 2 I closed the last chapter by asking if you have given your life to Jesus? I actually asked if you had promised Him faithfulness. Sometimes I have heard pastors say when they invite people to come forward for salvation: “Come to Jesus. He is so cool, lots of fun.” They do not say why we should come to Jesus, to get cleansed from our sins. In John 16:8 we read that The Holy Spirit has come to convict the world of sin, ...

WHAT KIND OF PROMISES AND CONTRACTS HAVE YOU MADE DURING YOUR LIFE?

WHAT KIND OF PROMISES AND CONTRACTS HAVE YOU MADE DURING YOUR LIFE? Part 1 Your parents might have already made contracts on your behalf when you were a child. This is one of many reasons why I am against baptizing small babies. The child might be a few weeks old and the pastor or the priest declares the child to be saved. The witnesses around the child might promise to give the child a Christian up-bringing even if they are far from Christians themselves. Some people believe that the child ... (read more)

HVILKE LØFTER OG KONTRAKTER HAR DU GJORT I LIVET?

HVILKE LØFTER OG KONTRAKTER HAR DU GJORT I LIVET? Del 1   Dine foreldre har kanskje allerede inngått kontrakter på dine vegne når du var et barn. Dette er en av flere grunner til at jeg er imot barnedåpen. Det lille barnet som kanskje er noen få uker gammel, blir ifølge presten frelst og mange ganger står ikke-troende vitner der og lover at de skal oppdra barnet i en kristen tro som de selv ikke deler. En del tror at om barnet ikke blir døpt, så går det fortapt om det skulle dø ... (read more)
