I love the way that you constantly point us to the "Word." I look forward to meeting you sometime soon, I would love to visit your church. I looked up Mt. Olive Lutheran Church on the web, I really enjoyed the sermons and encourage you to g…
I've definitely seen my life changed with:
"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh."
But I'm arguing semantics, I think. Aren't the things in the "Unholy Trinity" caused by the same thing? Thus making it…
When we came to Christ we moved into a realm where we have two natures, the old man and the new man ... an old nature and a new nature. The old nature is incorrigible and contrary to God. As you have it in Galatians 5:17:
"For the flesh sets its de…
Wasn't the Fall of Man caused by Satan?
Indeed and Jesus gave us the model for resisting the devil as He was in the wilderness for 40 days - the Word of God. "Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee."
Always the Word - in all it's forms. Its always about the Wo…
The Fall of Satan / The Fall of man - both are causes.
Now we get back to the Original Sin debate.
One must be careful to understand that when the Bible talks about "the flesh" that it is NOT talking about the physical, but rather the sinful desir…
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. All authority on heaven and earth has been given to Jesus. I find it ironic that Christians, in this new heavens/new earth in which the strong man is bound, don't live according to the victory that already…
I agree with this idea, but it makes me wonder: is the flesh our enemy because there's some sort of influence from the Devil (the Prince of this World)?
Like, all three of "The Unholy Trinity" are the same thing, or caused from the same thing?
Our enemies are three, the world, the flesh and the Devil. Two are external and one is internal. I have found that its that incorrigible enemy inside that is the toughest.
The enemy goes beyond simply Satan.
Martin Luther identified the enemy as "The Unholy Trinity." This is the sinful self, the attractions of the world and the devil.
These are three things that take our eyes off of Jesus and fix them on ourselves.…
Scripturally, the enemy is Satan, the devil. Our 'friend' is the enemy of my enemy. The tatics are to draw close to our Friend. The friends of our enemy would lead us to belive that things change, but the don't.
Now, draw a conclusion: does your Fri…
looking to stoke up somemore good conversation here..In law school, students are taught to identify the
issues in a dispute. You cannot resolve a problem correctly if you
cannot determine what is in dispute. Warfare, clearly, that describes a disput…
Let me add to Jamie's post
God came in the flesh not just to serve, but to serve humbly. John the Baptizer says that he is not worthy to untie the sandals of Jesus, but Jesus washes the feet of His disciples.
The Good News is that He washes us fro…
how would you phrase it best that this is something you want to do versus have to do?
Live a life of love, and give that life in the service of God and others.
How's that for a trite answer? :)
Really, though, I think that's the call. I think the truest imitation of God is seen in a life of service. I mean, we're dealing with the C…
What does it mean to be an imitator of God?Ephesians 5:1-2Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.What are the m…
