The Law | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/02/24/the-law
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. February 24, 2006. Posted by jwise in Law. I have had a great deal of exposure to the Law, both from the legalistic and condemning side, and also from the liberal above the law mindset. I’ve sat in both seats, so to speak. Because of that, I’ve become very passionate about what role the Law is. To play in one’s life. I haven’t nailed down all the details, but I believe the Law has different purposes for different people. Or, Get away from that fire!

Sin Really is Real | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/03/03/sin-really-is-real
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. Sin Really is Real. March 3, 2006. Posted by jwise in Quotes. What a prescription for the Church of the 21st century. Certainly from our pulpits and from our evangelism we preach peace, we preach comfort, we preach heaven, we preach goodness and mercy. But this is most certainly not the entire Gospel! Were I an unbeliever who was newly receiving your message, then I would sharply reply, Why do I need peace? I am not yet dying. Why do I need goodness?

Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. 8220;Do Not Love the World”. February 7, 2006. Posted by jwise in Theology. At first glance, this seems an impossible command.

A Christian, but not a Disciple of Jesus? | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/02/20/a-christian-but-not-a-disciple-of-jesus
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. A Christian, but not a Disciple of Jesus? February 20, 2006. Posted by jwise in Discipleship. Is it possible to be a Christian but not a disciple of Jesus? I’ve actually been working through several different topics over the past couple months, and that’s one that’s come back to mind off and on. Matthew 7:20-23: It seems that here are where most Christians find themselves. They pay lipservice to God, and hope to find hell-insurance when they die, an...

Satan Exposed: Our Time | Be Christian

Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. Satan Exposed: Our Time. March 29, 2006. Posted by jwise in Discipleship. Call me old-fashioned, but I often wonder what life must have been like in the old farming community, where you worked hard for the first half of the day and then relaxed and enjoyed your community the second half of the day. Maybe my visions are a little idealistic, but I think weve come a long way in filling every spare minute of our days with stuff. I forgot to pick up Brad!

Cliche Christians | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/02/11/cliche-christians
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. February 11, 2006. Posted by jwise in Theology. I’m struck more and more by the fact that Christians are becoming very good at memorizing cliches and very poor at memorizing Scripture. The sad effect is that Scripture is being replaced by those very cliches. The truth is that if someone is caught in sin, he. Should the Church be a safe place to hide from conviction and confrontation? May it never be! Lastly, what’s with the billboards. Has the Holy Spir...

Compassion Makes the World Go ‘Round | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/03/10/compassion-makes-the-world-go-round
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. Compassion Makes the World Go ‘Round. March 10, 2006. Posted by jwise in Theology. I’m often struck by two types of people in this world: those who exhibit a great deal of compassion and those who don’t. Most of us sit somewhere in the middle we have our good days and we have our bad days. Often times we are compassionate when we manage to get some benefit out of the situation, such as impressing a friend or coworker. How does this tie into compassion?

Self Deception | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/03/15/self-deception
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. March 15, 2006. Posted by jwise in Poverty. So how do so many people who mean well wind up abandoning the Gospel for a false hope? Because deception is just that — deception. Satan didn’t go to Eve with a blatant lie. He simply twisted the truth a little. Just enough so it was no longer truth. And deception was born. You can have heaven if you repeat after me. And don’t listen to those kiljoy fools! Have this world too! 1 steve - March 18, 2006. I mean ...

Satan Exposed: Our Treasure | Be Christian
https://bechristian.wordpress.com/2006/03/25/satan-exposed-our-treasure
Encouraging Christ’s followers to believe and obey. Satan Exposed: Our Treasure. March 25, 2006. Posted by jwise in Discipleship. Our church has been going through a “Walk of Faith” campaign for the last several weeks. The four “pillars” of the campaign, if they can be called such, are our Time, Treasure, Talents, and Testimony. The basic drive of the campaign is that God wants us to, in giving Him our lives, use our time, treasure, talents, and testimony for His Kingdom. Of those options, Satan wins wit...
