  • Christians are called to be in the world but not of the world. Historically, many have found this a difficult goal to achieve. In this session, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey will explore why the church finds the world so appealing, the biblical warnings against loving the world, and what love of the world tells us about our souls, and he will advise us on how to recognize the ways that we love the world.
    This message is from our 2014 National Conference, Overcoming the World: • Overcoming the World: ...

    This was perfect for me. Do not love the world. Those who love the world do not belong to God. I'm breaking up with the world this minute. Praise God for this, His Word. . Thank you Dr.Godfrey.

    This is a superb exposition on the life of Samson’s life and the 4 women that were such a part of it. Godfrey is a historian and a theologian… great combination; full of humorous statements. Not that it matters to you, or should; I reallyenjoy the way he verbalizes his thoughts. .. o refreshing! For believers, there is a lot of ‘take-away’ in this conference video. Thank you all., Legioners! ~BillR

    Christians do fall into temptation and sin , but when we genuinely repent with our heart and will, God is faithful to forgive us. However continuously, willfully and arrogantly sinning is not acceptable to God and we can lose our salvation.We cannot abuse the grace of God.Our direction and our progress are very important to God.

    We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, yet He listened to Samson. Always amazes me how many people will slander such an anointed man who devoted his whole life to the service of God. Judges 14.4 states that his illicit marriage was 'of the Lord' done with the intention of seeking occasion against the enemies of God’s people.

    I think it is likely that Delilah didn't care for Samson, but it may be jumping to conclusions to conclude that only because she didn't show up to see him. Sometimes people do things out of character. Scripture doesn't record for us what she did afterward.

    @rossdaboss1959 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in water for the removal of sins and filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38!
    Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead and walking in the newness of life. That's what Acts 2:38 is.
    We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ...
    Matthew 7:21-23, 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. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.
    We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed.
    One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.
    Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
    The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.
    It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction.
    Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.
    Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH. Titus 1:16, They profess that they know God; but in WORKS they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. God bless you!
