Conforming?

-
America's Morals and Ethic's... Ever wonder why our country is so far from God? Here is a clue... Rather than supporting and subscribing to services like PureFlex, people choose to subscribe to and watch ungodly crap like Netflix, Google TV, or cable. Crap-in and crap-out. A true statement! Do you not know that when you subscribe to things such as Netflix, you are in essence supporting sin. You are participating with them. Your money pays for their programming. No wonder our youth think that Violence, Sex apart of marriage, Drugs, and drunkenness' are okay -that is what they see and get from TV. Crap-in, crap out. Minds are being destroyed and Satin is laughing. As a personal choice and conviction I do Not/will never have subscriptions such as Netflix or Cable. I have PureFlex and I love it. Entertaining and godly and good enough for me. An example and my conviction! Ephesians 5:11 Do not participate in the useless deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; Proverbs 4:23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life. 2 Corinthians 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his trickery, your minds will be led astray from sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, Philippians 4 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. What are you conformed to?

Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me .’” –  John 14:6 Are you being tolerant of other’s beliefs to the point of saying nothing? Not even sharing your testimony because you don’t want to offend anyone? Is the message of “tolerance” keeping you quiet? If so, you may want to consider who is influencing your decision to remain silent. A well-known biblical teacher recently quoted the phrase, “Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words.” But Scripture states the importance of using words, as  Romans 10:17  explains, “Consequently,  faith  comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.” Words are essential to use in leading individuals to Salvation.  1 Peter 1:23  emphasizes it stating, “For you have been born again, not of perishable see, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” Shutting up is the last thing Christians should be doi

At Evident Church, part of our mission is to heal, and empower, men and women that struggle with addiction (99% of us have an addiction). Our community believes that in every mistake, there is potential for healing. Nothing a person can do will close the door forever with God and with a loving and forgiving community- even if that person feels beyond  redemption , is put back in prison, or cannot find sobriety in this life. Our practice is simple: take a step back, apologize, make amends, learn something new, and move on. Once, a women relapsed after she had been working with Pastor Gregg for more than a year. During that time, she borrowed money she would never pay back. She stole from her friends and lied to them too. The damage to her relationships was like a tsunami of destruction. Her downward spiral of devastation ended when she found herself back in prison. One of the first steps on her journey to restoration was to write letters to those she had hurt to say how sorry s

I believe great churches are built by broken people, ministering to other broken people. Brokenness is a willingness to abandon our pride, our pretensions, and our self-righteous posturing. And it is the prerequisite to God’s blessing on our lives and our congregations. Jesus said,  “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”  (Matthew 5:3 NIV). When we reach the end of our rope and give up our self-sufficiency, that’s when God moves into our lives with healing and growth. Sin is addicting, and “all have sinned.” That means we’ve all created ungodly and unhealthy methods for handling life, so every church needs to have some form of a recovery ministry. Not one of us is untainted, and because of sin, we’ve all hurt ourselves, we’ve all hurt other people, and others have hurt us. Each of us needs repentance and recovery in order to live our lives the way God intended. At Saddleback, we’ve watched the miracle of  Celebrate Recovery  develop and expa
