What do the demon-possessed Gerasene man and our identity in Christ have in common?

In Luke 8, Jesus went to the region of the Gerasenes and encountered a man with an unclean spirit. After exorcising the demon from the man, the town's people came out to see what was going on. When they saw the man they became afraid of what they encountered. What happened to the man and what does it tell Christians about who we are in Christ?

Just As You Received Him

 

You have believed the Gospel and have been born again of the Spirit of God through faith in Jesus Christ. Now what? For many Christians, once they come to faith they struggle with how to live their lives as Christians. Unfortunately, there are countless options that are available to them to assist them in living. All of them center around the individual restraining their flesh through obedience and repentance to commands designed to modify their behavior. In this video, I will describe how the way you live has everything to do with how you first believed. So, grab your Bible, turn to Colossians 2, and press play, as I discuss the answer to how we live as Christians.

How is getting closer to Christ supposed to make you feel?

 

Sinfulness and guilt are said to play a large role in the Christian life. When a popular Christian evangelist supports this teaching, it becomes difficult to refute. But, the Bible says something different about who we are in Christ and what we experience as we get closer to Him. Watch this video to find out what that difference is.

Are You Stuck On The Hamster Wheel Of Forgiveness?

If you have confessed a sin over 100 times and have not changed, there isn't anything wrong with God. There is something wrong with what you believe about God. Much of Christianity has increased the problem of sin, which they desire to stop through a method that was never designed to stop people from sinning. In this video, I will explain the problem and provide a solution.

Does 1 Corinthians 15:2 mean we can lose our salvation?

 

The word “if” introduces a condition, but the type of condition depends on the context. “If” can mean a real condition, a logical assumption, or a clarification of what is true versus what is a false belief. We must keep this in mind as we look at this verse in the context of the rest of the chapter. Would the Paul who said "He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion” be the same Paul who says your salvation is now conditional on what you do? Would the Paul who said that the promised Holy Spirit "is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance" be the same Paul who suggests the deposit could be withdrawn based on your effort? Find out the answer to these questions in this video.

2 Peter 3:8 A Day Is Like A Thousand Years

 "A day is like a thousand years." Many use this verse to reinterpret the six days of creation. Some people have suggested that Adam lived his entire life in one "day." But is that what Peter intended? In this breakdown of 2 Peter 3:8, we explore the context, the purpose, and the real reason this verse has nothing to do with creation's timeline.

Do you want proof that the law increases sin?

 

A wise man once said, "Religion makes you  mean as a hornet." When people are under the law and struggle to defend their position when it comes to living under grace, they often resort to divisive behavior. This is exactly what the law does. The law increases sin and makes sin your master. Unfortunately, those who have been made slaves to sin by the law take it out on their fellow Christians. In this video, I give an example of this behavior.

Eternal Security

 

There's a technique when trying to understand the Bible called "interpreting scripture with scripture" and more specifically, the principle of using clear passages to interpret unclear ones. This is particularly helpful when discussing the topic of eternal security and whether or not a Christian can lose their salvation. Many scriptures are often ignored that support the belief that Christians are secure in our salvation. Take a look at this video as I discuss some of those passages.

What's the proof that you're under the law and not under grace?

 

There's a simple way to tell if someone is under some form of law. They are obsessed with sin. Obsessed with the fact that they are fruit inspectors. You will hear them talk about "unconfessed sin." Teaching that our sins separate us from God. They participate in bloodless sacrifices that never take away sin, such as confession booths, answering altar calls, saying prayers of penance, keeping short accounts, or asking forgiveness in various ways. Join me as I show you why sin is tied directly to law and how the forgiveness of sins proves we are not under the law.

Believe Or Behave

 

The half Gospel continues to be one of the biggest hindrances to Christian life. Many believers are left feeling busy and barren because they are bearing the entire weight of salvation and don't know how to rest. Join me as I delve into why so many Christians are focused on behaving instead of believing what God has said.

Does Christianity lead to transformation or conformity?

 

A misconception of Christianity leads to unbelievers accusing the faith of being the reason for atrocities being committed. They accuse Christians of being conformed to an evil belief system rather than transformed by God to confront evil. The reality is that faith in Jesus Christ leads to the exact opposite of what it is falsely accused of by those who don't understand it. Check out this video to find out the truth.

The Offer Of Life

 

You have given your life to the Lord. But, there is something more important that many Christians don't understand regarding their salvation. Knowing what God has given us will change your life and your eternity. Come along with me as we discuss this topic.

How do you know someone is about to put you under the law?

 

Jesus is our Lord. Jesus is our King. Depending on how you understand these truths, they can affect how you live your Christian life. There are those among us who would like to take advantage of these titles of our God and Savior to get you to fall from grace back to the works of the law. But, when you know the transformation that takes place when you believe the Gospel, you will be prepared to stand firm in the grace of God as you live your life.
