No One Hates Themselves

Ephesians 5:29 "29 Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church. 30 For we are members of His body.…"

Dave Hunt said it very well; If a boy says he hates himself because he thinks he is ugly, he really loves himself. If he really hated himself he would be glad he was ugly.




Excluded Because of Christ

Galatians 4:16-18
"16 So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them."

There are those who will exclude you to make you jealous for them. Count it a blessing that you are free from these people. When we begin to seek Christ with all our heart there is no place for those who will attempt to dilute or distract your walk with Christ.

Matthew 6:33
"33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."

Even if you lose everyone because you will not shrink from speaking the truth of the Scriptures you will always have companionship of Christ within you. No one is a greater companion than He.

We love all those people who want Christ more than anyone. They become our companions when we are rejected by those who love their false "religions" to be pompous and superior.

There is no greater place to be than walking in truth always.

2 Corinthians 5:7
"For we walk by faith, not by sight."

Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

1 John 2:4-5 Believing Means Obeying

"4 If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:…"

Many will say they believe the Bible but become angry when it is mentioned to prove their actions are in opposition to Him. Anger against God's Word is sin, disobedience to what we know He says is sin.

Much of what "Pentecostals" Teach is Unbiblical.

They are motivated by feelings instead of facts. They believe their "feelings are facts." Most are superficial and looking for grandiose experiences to brag about.

If its not in the Scripture then do not participate it!

If it is in the Scripture don't twist it by adding to it or taking away from it, just believe it and obey it.

Interrupting: Bad Habit Or Sign Of Narcissism?





When others speak do we listen to understand or merely to pretend we care. Are we listening to discern truth or wait impatiently to be able to say what we want to in rebuttal. Truth ought to be the goal and there can be no discerning of truth if we do not listen first, but listen to hear and evaluate what is said. Rejecting someone's thoughts before hearing the entire matter is narcissistic in nature. Most people today live in habitual desire to be heard but few actually want to listen to others. Most people in our day love their "fast food" conversations in which everyone only says happy things or elevates self to feel special without concern for the person right in front of them.
