"The Theology of The Holy Trinity has been well established for 1700 years. In my opinion, it is hyper-evident by the New Testament manuscripts in conjunction with the writings and ensuing Theologies of The Early & Later Church fathers that The Father,The Son, and The Holy Spirit are Objectively Real and True."
"YOU CAN RUN, BUT CAN NOT HIDE"The statement, 'after giving it much thought', hardly becomes credible when one spends less that 24 hours in that endeavor. In fact, it is really giving something very little thought at all. In that case it becomes an issue of denial. And also, those who proclaim Christ as Lord and God as Abba, who run to Them to hide from the very issues in their lives that They desire to deal with and remove, always amaze me. We as Christians should run to God with the hope that He will reveal to us that which He intently desires to deliver us from."
"In my opinion and to the best of my understanding, free-will and pre-determination are two distinctly different economies that are 'operationally co-existent'."
"After witnessing the inauguration ceremonies, I am compelled to state how deeply grateful and infinitely thankful and eternally blessed I am to and by God for the privilege of being born and for living out my life in this amazing country- The United States of America."
"Being that the *historical* Jesus was of pure Hebraic descent- lineage of Eber- He was not an Arab or of Arabic descent, therefore He was not dark skinned as most Israeli's are not."
"My metaphysical thinking is more in alignment with Plato rather than Aristotle's."
"The more we spend our time 'practicing the presence' of Jesus, the more we become like Him."
"Don't get me wrong, I like NASCAR and shopping at Nordstrom's, but discipleship is intrinsic as a lifestyle."
"We all have a past that may be worthy of some criticism."
"Help us to forgive ourselves as we struggle in our process of forgiving others."
"Jesus said, 'Enter into My rest' and let God do what He does best."
"People respond when they are taught, and that primarily by example, rather than preached at. Jesus modeled just this approach in His life."
"Unity despite diversity is exactly what defines Christianity as distinct from and antithetical to all other religious belief systems."
"It is not enough just to read the Bible; it is even just as important to understand it. As to living it- that is accomplished in and through us by the Holy Spirit."
"Grace has not been well understood by the post-modern church let alone applied as post-moderns in our lives as a reality that Christ secured for us."
"The operative word here is 'gifts', plural, meaning not everyone will necessarily have the same combination of gifting that God has ordained for them to utilize in fulfilling their purpose within the Body of Christ. In other words, we all have different gifts and therefore niches within which we fit in The Body of Christ 'universal'."
"Unlike 'other' religious belief systems in competition with Christianity, we have not been called to become 'absorbed' into the deity but rather brought into communion with God through union with Christ thereby maintaining our unique individuality and personal identity."
"We are all sinners who have been saved by Grace. We have not been saved from sinning, but we have been redeemed despite it."
"Coming into a realization that there is purpose in why God has given all of us the gift of life- To promote the cause of Christ and God's Kingdom in a creative manner that expresses our uniqueness."
"God has given all of us both the mind and the heart. And He fully expects us to use them."
"You can only accomplish the impossible when the God of the possible is involved."
"In the 56 years I have been a disciple of and in union with Jesus Christ and in my opinion, John Wimber was the most authentic, humble, accessible, and anointed 'Christ-like' man I have ever known."
