Nigeria pastors will occupy the largest part of it for their "Holly" fraud


politicians may even be pardoned because they never claimed to be Holly

My brother Hell is real and Heaven is real, Hell is meant for sinners, those who disobey God, examples of such is just what the op mentioned, cohabitating of opposite sex and fornicating to mention but few. So you need Jesus Christ to be saved from going to hell. Thanks

kingreign, my name is uche and Christian who fear God. my guy told me what happens, he usually do business at Ikeja,
I was d one that put this laptop for advert, so when u say we should chat with whatsapp, i use fone that cannot whatsaap,

I ask him if both of you discuss fine, he said yes, but you told him you will let him know when u are coming. Both of us waited for you to call us that u are coming, since u did not call, he had to go to Ikeja, and he forgot to take the laptop along, he later called me that u were at Ikeja, and he asked me if I will bring the laptop to Ikeja and there is no way I will live office and start coming to ikeja so I said if he can meet up so that he will come and collect the laptop back to you. But holdup was much that Saturday, cos i was calling him steady. Let me not say much because only God knows if i am telling the truth. go to nairaland and check me I don't put advert. this is my first advert. but that my friend does and he was the one that encourage me to do same when I wanted to sale this laptop. I was angry that Saturday honestly because I needed money to pay my rent. I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience. Please forgive, I know it hurts you, how i wish i can c u face to face. i will call u lets talk. Please don't spoil me, I am good person and God fearing. assuming I have much money I would have given u little to make up for ur t-fare. God bless you my brother.

Religion / Re: Difference Between Old Time Church Service And Modern Time Church Service by whoisuche: 5:30pm On Sep 04, 2017
198800Mam:
*Difference between old time church service and modern time church service.*

1. When the choristers of the old time finish singing, the congregation burst into tears because they sang
down the glory, but in the modern, after the Delilahs and Jezebels finish singing, the congregation respond with a clap offering returning Ichabod to Ichabod.

2. In the old, during message, the congregation cry and tell God that they are
sorry, but today, as message is going on people
drop money, blow whistle and shout "ride on pastor".

3. The old went to Church and the message gave them faith but the modern went to church and the message gave them fake (olive oil, handkerchief, apron, sticker, holy water and calendars of their G. O.)

4.The ancient carried their bible in booklet because they were not ashamed of Jesus but some today carry ipad to church because they
feel shy to be identified with Jesus and to such, Jesus will be ashamed of you on the last day.

5. The old go to church with their hair covered with their head ties but the modern cover their hair with Brazillian weavon.

6. During prayers, the ancient close their eyes and give God their whole attention but the modern open their eyes, looking around like armedrobbers and even answers calls during prayers.

7. The old dance godly dance to thanksgiving and offering but the modern is not even afraid to dance doro, awilo and azonto even before the altar.

8. The ancients go to church with their body covered and are focused on inner beauty but the modern wears mini skirt, show everything, and everything on her is artificial and ends up looking like "mermaid". They are prone to falling at the slightest prayer because all she is putting on has a demon attached to it.

9. In the old, sinners go home weeping but today sinners go home rejoicing.

10. The ancients answer altar calls with tears rolling down their faces. The modern do the same chewing gum.

O Lord, revive your work. May revival precede the rapture.
God bless you do have a blissful day.

A Nigerian lady simply identified as Henrietta was all smiles and in an elated mood as she paid a visit to the Mayor of Mansfield, Texas in the United States. The woman who welcomed a set of triplets after more than a decade of barrenness - visited the Mayor along with her bundles of joy.

Sharing the good news after her delivery some months ago, she wrote;

Thanks everyone for your love and prayers. I am truly overwhelmed. It has not been an easy ride, but I'm thankful to God that makes all things beautiful in his time, for honoring me. After more than a decade of waiting on him for the fruit of the womb, he's has made my quiver full of children. To all those who may be going through a similar journey, hold on and hold firm to God.

Religion / Re: Winners Chapel Pastor's Wife Whose Womb Was Removed During Surgery Gives Birth(p by whoisuche: 11:42am On Aug 09, 2017
broseme:
As shared by Pearl Clement.....

'BIG BANG TESTIMONY

  With Pastor Dennis Ekere whose testimony was shared in 4 services in Winners Chapel Ikot Ebido Oku today.
His dear wife after a fibroid surgery developed complications which led to him signing that her Womb be removed as measures to saving her life. He signed and the womb was removed and was given to him in a Heinz salad cream bottle.

  However he held onto the word of God that."If a tree be cut off, it has hope for at the scent of water it shall grow again" also he declared that the God that did it for Pastor Bamgboye whose wife's 2 ovaries had been removed but still gave birth to 2 children would give him his baby.
Few months later a very confused doctor told him that at scanning his wife that they saw A WOMB THAT HAD GROWN IN THE FORMER SITE. However the size of the womb was very small.

  Men and Brethren, few months later, his dear wife took in, ie got pregnant and delivered a bouncing baby boy weighing 3.7kg last week Saturday.
Yesterday was the naming ceremony and may I add here that his dear wife only knew that yesterday that her womb had been cut off all this while. Asking why he refused to disclose to her or anyone, he said he didn't want her FAITH TO SHAKE.
With my spiritual eyes I just saw Ekere Dennis included in the hall of faith in Hebrews11.This God is too good ooo.help me sing ooo

Now tell me.
What can God not do?
What is too hard for God?
Who is like unto God'

TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. AMEN

Religion / Re: 28 Bible Verses About Love For One Another by whoisuche: 4:17pm On Jul 25, 2017
ADEWUMIMichael:
One of God's greatest commandments is that we treat each other well.


There numerous Bible verses about loving one another, just as God loves each of us:





Leviticus 19:18
Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against a fellow Israelite, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.
(NLT)




Hebrews 10:24
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. (NLT)



1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (NLT)





1 Corinthians 13:13
And now these three remain: faith,
hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love. (NIV)





1 Corinthians 16:14
Do everything in love. (NIV)





1 Timothy 1:5
You must teach people to have genuine love, as well as a good conscience and true faith. (CEV)





1 Peter 2:17
Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. Fear God, and respect the king. (NLT)





1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you should be of one mind. Sympathize with each other. Love each other as brothers and sisters. Be tenderhearted, and keep a humble attitude. (NLT)





1 Peter 4:8
Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.
(NLT)





Ephesians 4:32
Instead, be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (REV)




Matthew 19:19
Respect your father and mother. And love others as much as you love yourself. (CEV)





1 Thessalonians 3:12
And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you.
(NKJV)



1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. (NKJV)




1 John 2:9-11
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them. (NIV)


.
1 John 3:11
For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. (NIV)




1 John 3:14
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. (NIV)




1 John 3:16-19
This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence.
(NIV)



1 John 4:11
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. (NIV)




1 John 4:21
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. (NIV)





John 13:34
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. (ESV)



John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (ESV)





John 15:17
These things I command you, so that you will love one another. (ESV).





Romans 13:8-10
Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. For the commandments say, “You must not
commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.
Thoughtful Faith for Your Life
Sign up to receive study aids and practical answers to help you grow spiritually and pursue an authentic, purposeful Christian life.
(NLT)





Romans 12:10
Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. (NLT)




Romans 12:15-16
Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all! (NLT)





Philippians 2:2
Fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. (NKJV)





Galatians 5:13-14
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (NIV)




Galatians 5:26
Let us not become conceited, provoking

Religion / Re: 15 Ways To Minister Without Blemish by whoisuche: 2:17pm On Jul 25, 2017
ADEWUMIMichael:
15 WAYS TO MINISTER WITHOUT BLEMISH(How to be spiritual in ministration)



1) Pray before any ministration, if possible fast for your ministrations ministers and avoid sin.



2) Be addicted to the word of God. In fact memorize them.



3) Do not take any ministration with levity. All ministration in the church are VERY important to God.



4) Do not seek for human appreciation or glorification before or after your ministration. Only God can appreciate you if you have put in your very best.



5) Learn new songs, new ways of praising God. In fact learn an instrument or two.



6 ) Be creative with your songs and the way you play your instrument. The bible records David played skillfully in the bush.



7) Rehearse, Rehearse and do more rehearsals. David was always playing in the bush, that was his way of rehearsing.



cool Do not compete, competition leads to strife and hatred. It means you are ministering from the flesh. You are unique.



9) Do not be envious of other people. Only you cannot do the work of God. Remember the sky is wide enough for the bird to fly without touching one another.



10) Do not have the mind to "show" or impress people when ministering. If you do that, you already have your rewards.



11) Do not be discouraged or feel bad if you are not allowed to minister on a Sunday or special service. All ministrations, no matter the day, are the same before God.



12) Do not be discouraged about the few number of people under your ministration, God doesn't work with multitude.



13) Do not think you are the best when you have larger number of people under your ministration. Just pray that God moves during your ministration.



14) Develop yourself, personal development is the key. There is no limit to development, even if you have waxed a million album, there are still rooms for development.



15) Take advice from people, also take corrections. However everyone may not like you. Even it is not everybody that likes God.

I love this. I have copied it.

Religion / Re: The Rapture Of The Church - Ron Graham by whoisuche: 8:04pm On Jul 17, 2017

The Rapture of the Ekklēsia

By Ron Graham

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9b-10 . This verse is invariably used to promote the false teaching that not every Christian will go when Christ takes His “ekklēsia” (the called out congregation or assembly) home. A frequently asked question is “Will all Christians go in the Rapture?” The simple answer is “Yes”. All Christians will be Raptured! But then another question must be broached “What constitutes a Christian?” I’ll get to that answer in a moment.

The verses in the above paragraph, as well as other Bible verses, have been used over and over again to teach a false doctrine; that a Christian who might be battling any of the evils that Paul mentions above will be left behind when the Rapture of the “ekklēsia” occurs. I can tell you that many Christians believe this false teaching. I’m continually being castigated by my brethren for being of a different view on this subject. When we take Bible verses out of context it’s easy to establish false doctrines. I’ve excluded the first part of that verse above on purpose. The reason for excluding it is that it plainly answers the question “Who’s All Going?” or more specifically who’s not going “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?” 1 Corinthians 6:9a . Those who wish to confuse people use only the second part of that verse, they are those who are intent on promoting their own made up doctrine. Could it be any simpler? The unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Since that statement is God’s truth the opposite must also be true. “…by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous...That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 5:19b, 20 .

Only the righteous will inherit the Kingdom of God. Who are the righteous? Anyone who is born from above, from God! Is everyone on the same page here? When a person becomes born again they become justified (saved/righteous). That means they are, in God’s eyes, His righteous children. We were the unrighteous before we said yes to Jesus Christ, but through faith our disbelief was exchanged for justification (salvation/righteousness).
“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. ” 1 Corinthians 6:11 . Notice the Apostle Paul said “such were some of you”. But now being washed, sanctified/justified through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior means we’re no longer the unrighteous but the righteous inheritors of the Kingdom of God.

Let’s take a look at just how difficult it is to become born again. Jesus makes it abundantly clear that belief is the key. “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36 . Is anyone confused by that verse? All it takes to become a child of God (born again) is to believe in His only begotten Son. By believing in Jesus as Savior and Lord the new believer becomes instantaneously justified in God’s eyes. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can void our salvation.

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:11-13 . Anyone who falls into the category just mentioned above is born again. Here’s the rub. Not all who profess to be Christian are actually born again. Isn’t that really what’s at the crux of the matter here? If there’s any doubt in a person’s mind as to whom Jesus the Christ really is then that person would be well advised to re-evaluate their salvation.

My opinion as to whether or not some Christians will or will not be taken in the Rapture is inconsequential. What does God say? “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord .” 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 . (emphases mine)

In the above verses the Apostle Paul is explaining to the
“ekklēsia” at Thessalonica that at the harpazō (the Rapture) the dead “in Christ” will rise first, then the rest of us who are “in Christ” and still alive, will also be caught up together with the ones who were asleep (dead) into the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. The Holy Spirit speaking through Paul doesn’t exclude anyone who is born again. Everyone who is born again is “in Christ”. It’s impossible to be “in Christ” and not be born again. The following verses from Romans chapter 8 say it all. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are ‘in Christ ’ Jesus” Romans 8:1 (emphases mine). No condemnation for those who are “in Christ”. There will be no missing the boat, so to speak, for anyone who is not condemned. “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is ‘in Christ’ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 (emphases mine). Nothing can separate us from the love of God which has been permanently allotted to all “in Christ” believers.

Still, after all those verses there will be many who argue the point. But what’s the argument? Whether or not someone is actually a Christian? Or whether or not someone who professes to be a Christian is going in the Rapture? Isn’t that what it all boils down to? Many people profess to be Christian but if asked what it means to be born again some have no idea what that means. So in those terms we can say that they, by professing to be a Christian without becoming born again, are only fooling themselves. After all, no one can fool God.

It’s not all that difficult to see the fruits of many who are justified/saved. Nor is it difficult to see the fruits of the unjustified/unrighteous, they oppose each other with striking contrasts. Here’s a perfect example: Obama claims to be a Christian, yet by his own demonstrated fruits, clearly the experience of being born from God is missing. Ask yourself this question “Would a born again believer ‘in Christ’ stand so diametrically opposed to their Savior God?” Two very obvious examples of a person who stands against God’s precepts are anyone who promotes the murder of babies while still in their mother’s womb, and anyone who promotes the homosexual agenda and same sex marriages. These are just two of Obama’s very clear stances which God abhors, but they are enough to tell any born again believer in Christ that this man is not standing with God and should not be the leader of any nation.

So in the sense that a person professes to be a Christian yet he/she has never been born again we can say with absolute certainty that they will not be raptured with the rest of the “ekklēsia” . Remember, the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Only the righteous, the born again, “in Christ” believers will be Raptured. Watch out, just because someone professes to be a Christian doesn’t mean they are so.

But getting back to those who are born again, there are a few other verses that are used by those who say not all Christians will be included in the Rapture. They are as follows. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21-23 . This is very simple to understand. Jesus says to these folks “I never knew you”. Jesus knows all those who belong to Him. He will never lose even one who has said yes to Him. But He never knew the folks mentioned in the above verses. They were not born again.

The next verse is one the people with an agenda of promoting false doctrine like to throw out. It’s the parable of the ten virgins. We know by reading the entire account that five virgins were let into the marriage and five were not. What did the bridegroom (Jesus Christ) say to these last five virgins? “Verily I say unto you, I know you not” Matthew 25:12 . Jesus never knew these last five virgins. Why, you might ask. Because they had no “oil” for their lamps (they were void of the Holy Spirit). They were not born again. You see, Jesus only knows and allows the ones into His Kingdom who have said yes to Him. “Yes Lord Jesus, I believe”. These are the folks who become born again from above. Everyone who places their faith, trust, and hope in Jesus Christ and Him alone for salvation is justified in God’s eyes and will inherit His Kingdom (they will be raptured) if they do so before the rapture takes place.

The truth of the matter is this. All Christians will be Raptured. The problem is that not all people who say they are Christians are being truthful with themselves. It is not my place to judge whether or not a person is a Christian. God knows the heart of every human and He alone stands at the juncture of judging. But I can tell you this, He knows all who are His and He knows who will become one of His children before Christ’s return.

Remember that God can’t learn, He can’t be surprised, He can’t be deceived, and He won’t be mocked. If you say you are a Christian, you’d better be sure. The alternative to being a true born again believer “in Christ” is this truth – you will join a huge throng of people who have made the same mistake as you. You will all be permanent residences of what the Bible calls the Lake of Fire (Hell) if you die in that frame of mind, which is rebellion to Christ.

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28-29 . We are justified by what we believe about Jesus Christ. Our salvation is not based on works. Our righteousness comes only through a belief (faith) in the only begotten Son of God, Jesus the Christ.
God bless you all,

Religion / Re: 22 Things Christ Followers Should Totally Quit by whoisuche: 3:42pm On Jun 27, 2017
ADEWUMIMichael:
Before you read the following, I just want you to know that these are things I am guilty of, too. Like I tell my church all the time: "I'm preaching to myself!" When it comes to following Christ, we are all a work in progress.



For those who know me, you are familiar with my personality, so you will be able to decipher my tone and picture me smiling as you read this. For those of you who don't know me, try to picture me smiling as you read on. So, go ahead and laugh, love, and perhaps even whisper, "Ouch."




And just so there's no confusion, the word Christian is defined as someone who professes Christ and embraces His teachings. Not only are the four gospels about Him, the entire Bible is Him because He is the Living Word.
Here is a list of the 22 things I believe Christ followers should cease and desist in their lives:



1. Quit expecting the world to like you.
Jesus said it would hate you (John 15:18-27, Matthew 10:22).



2. Quit throwing your own teammates under the bus.
We're called to build each other up, not tear each other down. In fact, Jesus said that our love for each other proves to the world that we are really His true disciples (John 13:35, 1 Thessalonians 5:11).



3. Quit gossiping.
This includes sharing "juicy prayer requests" with no intention of actually praying (Psalms 34:13, Psalms 101:5, Ephesians 4:29).




4. Quit replacing prayer with "good vibes" and "positive thoughts."
No. Just no. Prayer moves the hand of God and the hand of God moves the world. Prayer is much more effective than making someone feel warm and fuzzy inside. By the way, I'm not saying positive thoughts and good vibes are wrong (and they do make you feel good), I'm just saying prayer trumps them both (2 Corinthians 1:11, Philippians 1:19, Ephesians 6:18, James 5:16).




5. Quit saying repentance isn't necessary.
It is. Jesus said so. And just so you know, there are 53 references to repentance in the New Testament. Now go repent (Matthew 5:17, Acts 3:19, Romans 2:5, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 John 1:9).




6. Quit saying that the "portions of the Bible that make you feel uncomfortable" are irrelevant and nothing more than dated writings.
All 66 books, 1,189 chapters, and 31,102 verse are the inspired Word of God. So the next time you think about throwing out the Old Testament, just remember that Jesus quoted it numerous times in all four gospels (John 1:1-4, John 1:14, 2 Timothy 3:16).




7. Quit expecting unbelievers/non-Christians to understand the Bible and/or to live like Christ.
It's hard enough for Christians to live like Christ and it's impossible to do so without Him (until the blinders are removed) (2 Corinthians 4:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 5:24-25).



8. Quit acting like the Great Commission
(Go into all the world to preach the gospel) is the Great Suggestion. It's a command. Go already (Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15).



9. Quit thinking that it's OK to be silent about your faith.
Yes, it's just as important to represent Jesus by how we live, but someone can't respond to the Good News without hearing it ... and they can't hear it if no one opens their mouth (Matthew 10:27, Romans 10:14-15).




10. Quit being more passionate about your political affiliation than your relationship with Jesus.
If 99 percent of what you post on social media consists of bashing government officials and presidential candidates—you're doing more damage than good (Romans 13:1-7, 2 Chronicles 7:14).




11. Quit using the Bible to beat the "hell" out of people.
That doesn't work. Ever. I don't care if you're right—if you're a jerk, nobody is listening. Love wins! (No, I don't mean the book by Rob Bell.) (1 Corinthians 13).




12. Quit your legalistic rants, knee-jerk reactions, and judgmentalism.
You're turning people off. You're making good news bad news. Jesus befriended sinners. Try it and great things will happen (Mark 2:17, Luke 5:27-32, 1 Timothy 1:15-16).




13. Quit calling yourself a Christian if you believe there are multiple paths that lead to salvation. Jesus said that He's the only way to heaven. If you don't believe Him, you're not a Christ follower (John 14:6, 1 John 2:4).





14. Quit living like everybody's going to heaven and nobody's going to hell. Jesus died so the whole world could be saved, but He said the path to heaven is narrow and few find it. And for the record, He preached more about hell than heaven ... but He did it without using a bullhorn and manipulative scare tactics. #LeadLikeJesus (Matthew 7:13-14).




15. Quit acting like you're better than those who don't know Jesus. You're not (Luke 18:19, Acts 10:34, Romans 2:11-13).
16. Quit criticizing loving believers who take a biblical stand for godly morals and Christian values (that are crystal clear in Scripture) just because you're too much of a wimp to take a stand yourself. Jesus didn't call us to be politically correct. Develop some backbone. And yes, I said wimp. And yes, I will repent for calling you a wimp (Acts 4-6).





17. Quit pointing out the speck in your neighbor's eye while ignoring the plank in your own eye. By the way, I can hardly see my computer as I type this because of the log in my own eye (Matthew 7:3-5).



18. Quit being a jerk, period. Whatever your position is (on anything), if you can't communicate it in love, you're a clanging cymbal and your message is worthless. So yeah, I probably shouldn't have called you a wimp in No. 16 (1 Corinthians 13).




19. Quit defending sin. Quit hating sinners. These are equally important. Oh yeah, and lose your critical lens (Psalm 97:10, Matthew 22:37-39).



20. Quit using the phrase "he who's without sin cast the first stone" out of context. The next thing Jesus said was, "Go and sin no more" (John 8:1-11).



21. Quit using grace as a license to live however you want. Jesus is grace, so don't trample Him under your feet (Romans 6:1-2, 1 John 2:4, Hebrews 10:26-31).



22. Quit using the phrase (when inviting people to church) "come as you are" if you're going to complain when they
