God Reveals Himself as Salvation

-
A post in Christian apologetics groups stated "Salvation is not related to God!" This is my response.
"The bible does reveal that God and salvation are one. God has become my light and salvation (Psalm 27;1) Jesus is salvation. Salvation is God coming to us. How does he come to us, as salvation! Only as salvation can man truly know God. Hence the reason for him coming as the man Jesus. (1 Tim 3:16)."

The Place of COMPASSION in our Preaching

  I sat where they sat (Ezekiel 3;15). EzekieL 'Strength of GOD' and strong he was, He went to Tel Abib and sat where the people sat  for seven days in silence. To learn and discover their ways. Before he could preach and warn he had to perfect the Word in him. It is easy for the preacher to say what's on his mind instantaneously and in quick response, just take a look at Facebook many are quick to right what they see as wrong yet will not take the time to sit and wait in order to understand and connect to those to whom he is sent. Ezekiel was sit where they sat in order to learn about them what he did not know. Oh how easy it is to be quick to preach too yet slow to consider and show respect or love.  Many shut theIr eyes yet open wide their lips. Its easier to hurt rather than connect and restore. its easier to defend ones faith than win a soul. they indulge in sever truth telling as if its a medal to display. forgetting that the master on the cross displayed love that wo

Where are the MOTIVATORS

  SELF HELP AND SUCCESS IN THE PULPIT I see many complaints about today’s preachers who preach success, prosperity in life.as if preaching these things dumbs down the gospel. I believe that MOTIVATIONAL preaching has its place. ARE ALL APOSTLES? (1 COR 12;29-31) I think preaching on success  and prosperity in life is as much the pastors responsibility as it is preaching salvation holiness. The pastor has to be a motivator, and preach motivational, as much as he preaches doctrine and doctrinally. If a man preaches all doctrine and standards then folks have no practical standards by which to hold onto and follow. Teaching that is not practical and real cannot be embraced no matter how deep it is. Don't mistake holiness  for Godliness. Oftentimes legalistic rules are of the flesh. Spiritual things can be of the flesh. Motivational based sermons make adventurers, risk takers, mountain movers people with a can-do spirit. Motivation based teaching can give us the drive and energy to to m

God is Doing It...Can You See It?

 Behold I make all things New The new year came and gone, well the one day we call new year day, came and gone, Man was filled with hope and vision as indeed the world is at this time, where we express our optimism and share our hope of a better tomorrow. Of course it is but another day, Nature does not take another path, the sun does not stop shining, the morning follows the night, just as it always has. the moon and stars appear and disappear as they always have. I fear that in our routine we miss the remarkable. Nature all around us expresses the remarkable faithfulness of God. Nature in fact announces God's faithfulness and its newness every day. To God every day is a new day. Lamemtations 3 'his mercies never fail, they are new every morning, great is they faithfulness.' just a look up and we will see the faithfulness of God in offering new opportunities on a daily basis to us mere man. The ringing out of the new and the bringing in of the new is our own idea of course
