Shades of Hypocrisy - Christian Teaching

    


Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship [Him] in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23-24).

I believe there are so many worshipers who are in the category of true worshipers. I also believe that there are many who are outside this group. Some of those who are outside the group of true worshipers sincerely long to change for the better – but the rest, for some reason, seek to remain the same.

In John 4:23-24, Jesus talked about true worshipers. What status do they have - the true worshipers?

Jesus said, “…[true worshipers] are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.”

Now that’s remarkable, because it means that there are certain worshipers that the Father is not seeking at all – the worshipers that the Father does not seek - the insincere worshipers. With regards to these, the Lord expects nothing but total transformation.

We need to be in the right group. We need to always live right with God. Are you the kind of worshiper that the Father seeks? “Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5, NIV). Every worshiper needs to do this always; this is where this book comes in handy.

“Am I a hypocrite? Am I not?” “Am I acting hypocritical?” - you might already be quizzing yourself. You do not need to speculate anymore, for the answer is just a few pages away.

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth. Haunted by visions and a mysterious mark burned beneath his ribs, he joins two rebel soldiers on a perilous journey through war-torn colonies and spirit-haunted woods. As the Revolutionary War rages, a secret faction known as the Golden Circle seeks to harness the power of the forest spirits for their own ends—twisting the old magicks into a weapon neither crown nor colony can stop. Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side. Epic in scope and grounded in grit,  The Revenant’s Mark  blends dark...

Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science

  Proof of the Existence of God: Confronting Science WHEN FAITH CONFRONTS SCIENCE Dare to question, but be ready to believe. “Does God Exist?” This is an age-old debate. Interestingly, those who say “No” often cite science as the basis for their opinion. They openly state that “There is no proof of the existence of God.” However, there is proof of the existence of God. There is more than ample proof of His existence. There is more evidence than anyone will ever need if one was willing to look in the right places, if one was open to that proof, and if one does not block or eliminate the proof or otherwise redefine or pre-determine the scientific criteria despite the evidence. Carl Sagan once wrote, “Extraordinary claims, require extraordinary evidence.”  This book presents Ten Observable, Demonstrable, and Verifiable sets of facts that prove the existence of God. Not one, not two, but ten. Any one set of these proofs by itself would demonstrate it, but together they provide ove...
