Can Non-Believers Serve God

They are welcome to hear the message of God. But non-believers cannot be counted as fellow brothers or sisters who partake the grace and salvation of our Lord. This is not up to us, but up to them.  If they dare to testify their disbelief, then how couldn't we dare to forbid them?

By agreeing non-believers to serve, one might as well testify: One might still be saved by not believing in Jesus Christ our Lord.

How about the testimony of those who actually believed after serving as non-believers? I do not deny, for the grace of God works in miraculous ways. However, it is not to say that his salvation depended on him serving. For such is not God's grace nor are we his savior. 

How can we be a witness of Christ's mercy, if we ourselves don't even understand we are serving this ministry because we have received mercy. 

Nevertheless, if a church is so impotent in preaching God's word, deprived of sermons and teachings of Christ and even stripped of true Christians, that the only way for someone to hear a tiny drop of God's word is by trapping him in servitude...then by all means...

 

Deu 12:3  And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
Deu 12:4  Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God. 

Deu 22:10  Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.  

2Co 6:14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Evaluating Servants of God

By servants of God, I mean of course, that oneself such as myself is included.

Imagine all his current church works, ministries and mission activities, replaced by secular job...would he be an honest, reliable, humble and faithful worker?

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.  (Luke 16:10)

Seeking God's Blessing

...I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. (Genesis 32:26)

Dear Father, forgive my trespasses. Leave me not, I would rather let my mind trouble me through eternity unless you bless me.

Ignorance is Also a Sin

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

Love more Than Christ

It truly sickens me to see some Christians, especially counselors and pastors taking upon a role more than that of our Lord's while still proclaiming they are following God's will.

They believe medical science over theology, promoting their own images as if they understood people more than God.

Easily Touched with Tears, Curing Certain Involuntary Emotion

I believe from my own experience that emotional sensitivity is directly proportional to discipline of heart, mind and body: Both spiritually and physically.

This emotion is not agape related. It is of the kind which one regretted later. It is also not applicable to everyone, for we must each think soberly, according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. (Romans 12:3)

2008 Calendar Wallpaper

Clear, 12 months calendar, perhaps indicating Holidays, artistic, etc.

Since I couldn't find much satisfying ones online, I should build one myself, hopefully it's not too late, we've already missed January.

Setup a special link for such works and programs and a paypal donation fund.

Righteousness

How do we be right with God?

How do we know we have found favor in God's eyes?

Many prefer to be right with God through acknowledgment of people around them, families, friends, church pastors, etc.

Some prefer to use their own understanding to be right with God.

No doubt these have their own merits, but they could also be disaster. For it is not God's will that one comes to Him through all these sorts.

Pray and grab hold of Him, of Christ our Lord and Savior, our God, and never ever let go.

Repentance

Understanding oneself is a sinner and admitting oneself is a sinner are two distinct matters.

admitting oneself is a sinner and therefore seeking after God's mercy is to identify one's sins, one after another, which one has committed, and that these are sins not because they make people feel bad, but because God says so, because they lack God's glory.
