Faith: What is it?

Greetings Everyone,

Well, it’s almost that time. School is almost out for the summer!  Summer vacations and fun are just around the corner.  And let’s not forget about the “heat” as well! Some are predicting a hot summer while others are predicting a mild cooler one.  I stand with Paul when he said:

   “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.  I know both how to be abased, and I     know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.”                Phl 4:11-12

I’ve learned in whatsoever state (TX,CO, MO, NM, OK…you get the idea) therewith to be content.  But not only have I learned but I am instructed both to live in the heat and to live in the cold and not whine and complain about where I’ve been sent by my Father.  This is the faith of the Son and foundation of the new creation see-thru-er!  What is the faith of the Son? What is faith? There has been so much taught and said about faith it’s unbelievable. The vast majority has been passed down from generation to generation as a tradition and belief system.  These are some of the things I’ve heard over the years concerning faith.

-Biblical faith

-Saving faith

-True faith

-Power of faith

-Increase your faith

-Strong faith

-Weak faith

-Little faith

-Great faith

These are not all the terms used or spoken with the word faith included.  Many are exact quotes from the Bible.  But many don’t carry the same meaning as the writers.  So, what is faith and what does it mean? Are most of our thoughts and ideas on faith derived from desensitization to the person of Christ?  If so, that would make our belief concerning faith delusional and void of God’s mean of faith for us!  Let’s talk about it!

Love in Christ,

Desensitization and Losing your Salvation Part 2

Greetings  Everyone!
We trust you all had a blessed and wonderful week in Christ!  We will attempt to finish the message from last week on Losing you Salvation. The subject of losing our salvation is a very controversial topic.  But the answer is simple in Christ. So we trust you’ll join us in fellowship to conclude this message. Again the answer is yes and no!  I’m not trying to funny or mysterious.  The truth is yes some have a salvation which can be lost. And no for those who have a salvation which cannot be lost. Let’s examine it and find out the truth that is in Christ Jesus. The things most of us have been taught and believe concerning this topic is really and truly unbelievable.  So much fear! So much deception! So much captivity! So much delusional thinking! When losing salvation is really not the issue! Let’s talk about it…
Love in Christ,

Desensitization and Losing your Salvation

Greetings  Everyone!
We trust everyone has had a wonderful week in Christ!  And hopefully not too busy.  We were traveling this week. We went to see our grandson Jeremy’s graduation at Loyola University in Chicago.  It was a joy and blessing to be there with family and friends to support this mile stone in his life.  Chicago is very nice city to visit but we enjoyed coming home to Texas!  Let me take a minute to talk about the topic of Sunday fellowship, desensitization and losing your salvation.  The question always comes up sooner or later concerning how does one get saved or receive salvation? And, of course what can someone do to lose their salvation?  What do you think?  I know some of you say no immediately. No way! While some of you might say, yes of course!  Others might say it would depend on what a person does. If they have commit the unpardonable sin?  Surely they can lose their salvation. Right?   Almost all of our ideas, beliefs and doctrines are based on what we’ve been taught and told to believe about receiving and losing our salvation.  This idea brings with it a host of deep feelings and emotions. And almost all of these are powerful and fear based!  No two organizations, institutions or denominations agree on obtaining salvation much less agreeing on how it’s kept or lost.  What role or impact does desensitization to the person of Christ, religion, organizational theology, institutional doctrine, and denominational belief systems have on this idea of losing your salvation? The answer is simple. Everything!  Why? Because there is something very critical being left out of the discussions.  But we’ll talk about it in fellowship tomorrow.  Let me close by giving you something to think about until then.  Can one lose their salvation? The answer is Yes. Because some have a salvation that can be lost. The answer is No. Because others have a salvation that cannot be lost. Let’s talk about it!
Love in Christ,

Greetings Everyone,
One last Happy Mothers Day before we finish this day. We had a wonderful and blessed time in fellowship today. The Father revealed much through His Son in Katherine and Kurtis during fellowship. We know some have had trouble with their internet service in various places. So, we are attaching a copy of today’s broadcast to this email. We trust as you get the opportunity you will take time to watch. Also our dear brother Jim Neargarder has taken the time to reformat over 250 audio messages for easy access with mobile devices. There are various speakers and teachers all sharing on the In-Christ message. Thanks brother Jim! Also a big thanks to our dear brother Tim Anderson for the idea and support! We want to thank all who have sent emails about the broadcasts and this message of our new identity and life in Christ! We have become a whole new person! We also want to thank you for your prayers, support and gifts of love. We pray and thank our Father you all!

Love in Christ!

Desensitization to the person of Christ and Time

Greetings Everyone!
April is out and May is in. Already! WOW, time flies when you’re having fun! It seems like it was just Monday and now it’s Sunday. Does it appear to you that things are happening faster than you can keep up? We are so busy that days come and go so quickly it’s hard to keep track of which day of the week it is. Someone created a phrase to help us to “deal” with this issue of “so much to do and very little time to do it”. It’s called “multi-tasking”. Yeah, you train yourself to several different tasks at the same time. You know what I mean. Like the person who just passed you on the road, driving, texting on a cell phone, listening to music, looking at the GPS, speeding and smoking a cigarette all at the same time! We are not created and cannot multi-task. I know some of you might say “yes we can, I do it all the time”. Human ability is pretty spectacular in various situations. But trying to beat or cheat time is not one of them! It may seem that time is not on our side. Time is neither for us or against us. Because of desensitization to the person of Christ many have missed God’s purpose, intent and plan for creating time. We have tried to make time something it’s not and never created to be or do. We say things like, time heals, time makes everything better, time will tell, they’ve got time on their side, their time is running out, that saves us a lot of time and now it’s my time. These are just a few of things said about time which comes from desensitization! And where is Christ in all of this? Let’s talk about it in fellowship…

Love in Christ,

David & Katherine
