Amen it is Gods work. So why do we debate about Gods foreknowledge when we really dont have any business looking into it. It is HIS foreknowledge. We are to be obedient to the Spirit in spreading the Gospel(not in mans wisdom but power) and let God prick the hearts of those he has foreknew.
alot of their testimonies reflect even a heart of forgiveness and prayer for their persecutors. God uses their persecution as a means to win the persecutors to Christ among other things.
also jsc thats easy to say when you are not the one being persecuted. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Persecution is surely coming harsher in our country of america and we will need all the mercy and grace and encouragement we can get in our hour of need. when faced with peraecution i pray by the Spirit we would not deny Him in that moment
jsc. look at 1cor 12: 12-26 and when jesus in matthew was dividing the sheep from the goats he was talking to them in regards to his bretheren. just look at it as being a water boy for your persecuted brothers and sisters. not so much to end the violence but to encourage them. they are more of an encouragement to us. teen christian. if you go to persecution.com it will have all the links associated with the ministry including icommittopray.com.
Teen christian. your zeal for Christ is beautiful, yet wisdom (which is actually walking in the ways of Christ) comes with experience not only in His presence, brokenness, anguish etc but in His mercy through our failures. Much of which i seek daily. anyway i heard duncan campbell once give an analogy that really pertains to a lot of this young american christian generation (which i am included in). He talked about a farmer trying to pull his cow out of the mud. if you try to go into the mud to push the cow out you will just get muddy and slip and maybe be crushed by the cow. but you have to stand on a rock and throw a rope at the cow and pull it out of the mud. youbg christians often times seek in the world to find a so called moral maybe "christian" artist or movie star or sports star they can idolize. there is a form of godliness but denying the power thereof that will not regenerate or sanctify or empower a christian to do gods will. by gods grace teen christian you must stand on the rock of christ alone to pull souls out of the mud.
Rapture yes. pre-trib no. That would be too easy, plus believers in this won't be prepared for the tribulation of those days. at the last Last trump 1cor 15:52 . Even Jesus speaks of the elect during tribulation in Mat24:21-22
"same-gender couples are as capable of responsible procreation as are opposite-gender couples," Man+Man does not equal child. Woman+Woman does not equalchild Man+Woman=Child in a holy sanctified marriage. God desires to save these men and women and they will get their rights to do what they want. But our God is a God of life and the problem with the sin of homosexuality is that it does not produce life. So homosexuality produces death to the one in it and to the society that allows it so freely.
When the time comes for us all to stand in the valley of decision as this woman had, may the Lord at that very moment give us all the grace we need to faithfully confess our Lord. Pray that our brothers and sisters in Christ will be filled with His Spirit as Stephen and Peter were in that hour. See www.persecution.com for more info on the persecuted church. Heb 13:3
Why is everyone talking down about this woman, pray for her, dont talk trash about her. This is a christian site and your comments look like those of the world. She spoke more truth than most christians in america. Keep yourselves in the love of God
