Just Believe?…Really? That’s it? #2 | Just A Thought
https://devingriggs.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/just-believe-really-thats-it-2
Me and My Purpose. I ended part 1 of this series by asking and answering a question. “So what is believing? It is believing everything that the New Testament teaches us about Christ, the Old Testament, and how to live our lives.” In this blog I want to lay a foundation to build upon the teachings of the New Testament. I think that Acts 2 is a good spot to start. This will help us lay a foundation to three essential parts of a Christian life. 8221;… Notice, they were cut to the heart after hearing a...

Just Believe?…Really? That’s it? #3 | Just A Thought
https://devingriggs.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/just-believe-really-thats-it-3
Me and My Purpose. Ok Let’s talk about this foundation I have mentioned. Are repentance, baptism, and speaking in tongues necessary steps to complete in order to make it to Heaven? This is a big debate between denominations. Some believe you have to be baptized but not speak in tongues, some believe you have to do both, and some believe you dont have to do either. So what is correct? First I want you to read a number of scriptures. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. 3...

May | 2010 | Just A Thought
https://devingriggs.wordpress.com/2010/05
Me and My Purpose. Archive for May, 2010. I woke up this morning and could not get a scripture out of my head. So I decided that maybe I should write about it. Problem is… I couldn’t remember where it was. So I searched and searched and could not find it. While I was searching, I read a scripture that I have read before but it never spoke to me like this. It is 2 Timothy 2:14-17 (ESV). 14 Remind them of these things, and charge them before God. Read the Bible for ourselves, know the scriptures for what t...

How to Answer: “What church do you go to?” | Just A Thought
https://devingriggs.wordpress.com/2010/08/03/how-to-answer-what-church-do-you-go-to
Me and My Purpose. How to Answer: “What church do you go to? So how do we answer this question when someone asks it? Salvation is freely given when individuals, through the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of faith, repent of their sins, and believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Believers are immediately made spiritually alive and receive the gift of eternal life. They are forever adopted into God’s family, and as such, display evidence of God’s sanctifying...Dude, I love thei...

So…Is God Real? | Just A Thought
https://devingriggs.wordpress.com/2010/07/22/so-is-god-real
Me and My Purpose. So…Is God Real? Well, I guess it is time to finally give my answer to this question…Is God real? If you don’t know who C. S. Lewis is, google him and read the wikipedia on him. He was an atheist who turned into a Christian. He was a very intelligent man and wrote many great books. (The Chronicles of Narnia being one) I want to mention some of the things he brought out in this book. I think it will be appealing to nonbelievers as well as believers. Would it not be a creator? I couldn’t ...

Dealing with Suicide | Just A Thought
https://devingriggs.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/dealing-with-suicide
Me and My Purpose. Yesterday morning, I woke up and for some strange reason I was thinking about people who commit suicide. Where do they go; heaven or hell? So I decided, in my mind, they go to hell. Murder is sin. They murder themselves and don’t have time to repent. Right? 8230; Well …. I went to Sunday school yesterday morning and Pastor Clayton got to talking about suicide. I don’t think he really meant to get on the subject, but he did. He was talking about the only unforgiven sin. 2 By no means!

Me and My Purpose. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Ok So, I have started out with probably one of the most popular verses known to mankind. Alot of Christians witness to nonbelievers with this verse. They tell them,” All you have to do is believe in Christ and that He died and rose from the dead to cover our sins, and you will go to heaven.” Guess what! Acts 16 : 30-31. They came from Jesus Christ. Notice vers...

Me and My Purpose. Also, in Brett Wilson’s comment he said “I’ve never been one for debates, mainly because people on both sides tend to defend their side and use the other participants words as ammo to turn back on them.” I totally agree. I will not approve your comment if it turns into a unprofitable argument. Responses to “Is God Real? Feed for this Entry. July 9, 2010 at 11:13 am.
