  2. Heard this message 2015.. Started tithing as a married couple since then.. It became our lifestyle and the foundation of our marriage and family.. Fast forward to today 2023.. My husband’s income alone is now way more than what we were making combined before we started tithing.. Malachi 3:10-11. God’s word is true and unfailing!

  3. There is nothing in the bible that proves original sin. I really like Robert, but our theology differs, which does not mean I can't learn from him. Any preacher worth his salt will teach Gods word and can be learned from. It's when you find a pastor that cares that makes the difference. Robert cares.

  5. BLESSED CHURCH.
    May God richly bless you and all who are part of your ministry giving praise and all glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL NATIONS AND PEOPLES

    Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples the night before He went to the cross. Mark 14:22-25. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood), the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118.

    THE GOOD NEWS

    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6

    Jesus Christ loves us! We believe this! John 3:16-17. We believe Him and who He is! He is our Savior! GOD THE SON! ONLY HE SAVES.

    Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast."

    JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US AND LIVES AGAIN!

    1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

    Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay for all our sins. 1 John 2:1-2.

    He died on our behalf! We believe in Him and who He is, trusting the shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins, and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day for our eternal life! John 20:24-31. HE LIVES EVERMORE!

    We can live forever through Him. God forgives our sins through Him otherwise our sins will prevent us from living in Glory with Him and our family in the faith the Bible describes. We study to show ourselves approved in wisdom and further truths about Him! We are in a family! God's family. CHRIST'S BRIDE! We got to know Jesus Christ better and better!

    Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more than, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him."

    HE LIVES! JESUS LIVES!

  6. Believers will you get serious and endure sound doctrine, because Revelation 3:14-22 is real! Have you answered the knock? We are sharing this warning message as a comment to all posts of a Christian nature.
    As Jesus said in Matthew 10:27, "What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops."
    As God said, it is foolishness to non-believers and we understand that.
    Believers, though, hopefully, will know it is wisdom from God.
    Last Days Message – Jesus Says That False Teachers And False Prophets Would Deceive His Followers, Are You Sure Of Who You Let Teach You?
    The institution of "Christianity" is so much like the institution of "Judaism". Man defines what God's word means based on their own traditions and thoughts and then institutes what "Christians" should and should not do.
    As believers do you know the difference? What is the plumb line for "Christians", the word of God or the words of men? So many believers, when they have questions, go directly to their leader instead of going to God's word? Why don't we understand that God will give us wisdom when we have questions? The book of James tells us we should go to God for wisdom.
    The traditions, holidays, asking for money, and other practices that have been added to the institutional church cannot be found in God's word. When those facts are brought to the attention of leaders and believers so many say, "He didn't say not to do it". That response sounds like Genesis 3 and the serpent talking to Eve, and following along in the chapter we can see Adam and Eve making excuses, just like today. The serpent says things to us to trick us into twisting God's word so that we can do what we want.
    Jude 3 seems to have become defunct? Now when examples of things that are not in God's word are brought to the attention of a leader or a believer, they will contend for what has been added, not for what is in God's word. God never said we couldn't do it, just like the serpent says, God never said not to do it.
    From Genesis to Revelation God's word tells us what to do, yet the leaders, over the centuries added so much because why? Was God's word not enough?
    Another excuse is that we have to keep up with the times and adjust what we do. Wow, did we forget that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever? Did we forget we are to serve Him as He desires not as we desire? Did we forget it is not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord? The word of God, reaches people as He intends, without the need for cultural relevance or by doing things the way the world does.
    We are the issue, the destruction of so many in the body of Christ and the lack of people who do not believe, is the fault of the lukewarm activities that have been added to the worship and service of God. Jesus is outside the "church" knocking, looking for us to come out and be with Him.
    The blind are leading the blind. The only way we can see again is to rely solely in the word of God. The choice is ours.
    Religion created by man and traditions of man are not of God. If it is not in God's word, get rid of it. God is not referring to driving a car or things like that, this refers to how we worship and serve God. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near.
    Please take the time to listen to this video to get the full warning message.
