Dear Followers of Jesus Christ, I have not been able to manage this account for almost 2 years. Many of you asked me where you can get more of Francis Chan, so here is my answer to your question. www.cornerstonesimi.com/ You can get his message on this web-site and about the videos uploaded here I e-mailed Cornerstone couple years ago, and person named Karl gave me permission to upload the video. So I recommend you to ask for permission from Cornerstone if you want to share these video. Let's not be Lukewarm, let's be radical for Christ by the power of His LOVE~!!
We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. 1 John 2:3-6 NIV
There are many Hypocrites who claim a belief in Jesus, but they don't follow him. Jesus said, "Go and sin no more." The majority of his followers contradict him. Some even mock at the command that he gave us to live by. Jesus did not make mistakes in the language he used, yet countless Christians feel that it is their duty to correct him. Many even say that he didn't mean that, or he meant to say something else. They will even use his own bible scriptures against him to try and prove him wrong. It takes a lot of arrogance to challenge his authority, and those who do will be counted among his enemies. Those who reject his word reject him. Romans 1:28-32 "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them." Jesus said, "Go and sin no more." Hypocrites contradict Jesus. They say that sinning, even daily, is a normal part of Christian life, and it is even expected of us all. They know nothing about the work of the Holy Spirit to transform us to righteousness, and if they are told, they deny it.
This reminds me of this song called Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus. It helps me keep my eyes on Him. Don’t lose hope everyone! The same power that rose Christ from the dead is living in you! (Romans 8:11) “Turn your eyes upon Jesus look full in his wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light and his glory and grace.”
Frances Chan: I love you but please look at creation based scripture. The Bible does not say earth is a ball shaped or spinning (1000 miles an hour). The Bible says we are on pillars. still solid ground and there's no evidence of a curve. That's a lie we were told since childhood. Sea level is level. Ponds are level. All bodies of water are not clinging or wrapping around the ball. The sun rotates around the earth moon & stars rotate like a clock...200 plus bible verses to describe creation and the earth. Read Where Are We? Earth According to the Bible. Author Chad Taylor.
22:00 Weather he knows it or not, this comment, guilt ridden, is more likely to be a contributing factor to many leaving his church then sin ever is. That is why I left church, and a huge reason I don’t share my heart, which is where the desires come from which cause sin, (James 1) is because I am afraid of being guilt tripped, shammed, or judged.
Every time I reread Crazy Love and it tells me to come back to this video it is so needed. So much truth about the love of God and we all need to hear this often.
We are ALL sinners that fall short of the glory of God. And we ALL are deserving of eternal punishment in hell because sin is so serious (it’s the cause of all pain, death, and suffering). And that’s why Jesus willingly died on the cross for all our sins and rose from the dead three days later! That we may have eternal life with Him if we repent (to turn away from our sinful life, and turn to Jesus Christ the Lord our God and Savior) and trust in Him (that He will save us ONLY because of what He did on the cross, we are saved by grace through faith)!!! And don’t wait because either because you do not know when you will die (just really think about that, you have NO CLUE when you will die! it’s could be tonight in your sleep or even in the NEXT HOUR!) That’s why God is calling you RIGHT NOW today to receive the gift of salvation!!!I
I try to tell myself that this is true. I've tried for many years. It still wont sink in. I just can't figure how to honestly want God more than the things that make me happy. Existence is extremely hard and I wish I were never conceieved.
I understand that sin is destructive but during your EARTHLY life how is your relationship with God better? I read the bible and see a big book of DON'TS
