A Christian Blog based on John 17:21(NKJV)"that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me." This Blog will attempt to compare the biblical model with what we now call "The Church."

Chained Part 2_Behavior Modification Vesus a New Creation

New Blog Format
     I'm told that Blogs are supposed to be short and not long like mine are. And so this week I'd like to try something new. I'm going to present sort of an outline of what the article covers with a "link" to the full length article. Please let me know which you would prefer in the future -- the outline with a link to the article, or just a long Blog.

Do you as a professing Christian feel like a hypocrite?
Do you live with a sense of deep guilt and shame?
Are you bound to perverse passions?


"Behavior Modification" versus "A New Creation"
  In our last Blog we stated that  most of our contemporary churches preach a soft, and popular gospel; one that pleases the hearer. Because of this soft gospel many have not really been born-again, and as a result church buildings are filled with unbelievers who believe that they are saved, but in fact are not. This is a clear victory for Satan because a "miss is as good as a mile." The worst part of all this is that it keeps folks from breaking through to the freedom they so desperately long for.
   Hopefully, if you were the victim of a soft gospel, you have since become genuinely saved. What follows will only work for a truly born again Christian.
 Okay, so lets continue on our journey. The big question those who suffer emotionally are asking is:
Why can't I seem to overcome my own shortcomings no matter how hard I try?

This article answers that question!

   We will be looking at the following: 
  • Psychology and what it offers the Christian
  • The difference between a pig and a lamb
  • Christ's sacrifice and what we can expect for our lives
  • Where the battle lines are to be drawn
  • How to get rid of the emotional suffering once and for all
This may all sound too good to be true, but it is; and it can all be yours as a gift from your loving heavenly Father:
   "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36)."
    "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life,  and that they may have it more abundantly (John 10:10)."
