My DEVASTATING Chronic Illness Journey... (Opening Up)

The Holy Spirit is Enough for the Born Again Believer Trusting in Christ

Why would we need any human being to be an authority over us when we have the God Who created the universe living inside of us.?!!!!

If we allow any human being to be our authority we are usurping the Holy Spirit and practicing idolatry.

3 Things God ALWAYS Does to a Narcissist

Informed Judgments not Gossip

Amen, and, to pass through each gate one must have all the information and never from gossipers, but only from the source.
To be able to make informed judgments one must ask questions respectfully with love in their hearts. Those who love their gossip will never ask questions of those gossiped about, they will just enjoy the negativity and assume what they wish to believe.

Gossipers are more interested in connecting with the other gossipers than they are in truth.

Here is what love looks like:
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. 5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered, 6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Someone who is loving wants to get to the truth and does not delight in hearsay that ruins the reputation of others. Those who love do things to help not to harm.

Proverbs 10:12
"Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions."

Proverbs 17:9
"Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but he who brings it up separates friends."

Only Christ can teach us to love others the way He loves us.

The Bible is the Book of the Heart of Christ

1 Corinthians 4:6
"Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another."

May Christians in our day ignore much scripture and pay attention to other passages to make the Bible say what they want it to say.
Taking passages out of context is common and distorts the Word of God, adding to it and subtracting from it is very serious.

The Bible is not a book of recommendations or some good ideas, it is a book of commands from God. He expects us to seek Him and obey Him.

If God Appeared Today, People Would Still NOT Believe… (They’d Say THIS)
