Galatians 5:4
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
What does it mean to fall from grace? Does it mean that a person can lose their salvation? Not at all!
Proverbs 25:28
"He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls."
God says that a person who does not control their own spirit is like a defenseless city.
1 Corinthians 11:24
"And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me."
I have had the privilege of visiting several memorials in my lifetime.
1 Corinthians 1:5
"That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;"
One of the main reasons the church of Corinth was so fleshly was because they took their eyes off God and placed them on man.
Romans 2:5
"But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;"
What would cause a person to go from being a sweet Christian to someone who is bitter and hard and wants nothing to do with Christianity?
Sunday,
3/9/14 Ps 51:2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Do you simply wnat forgiveness for your sin, or cleansing from it? Forgiveness
is good, but it allows for continued sin: cleansed implies victory. Let’s
strive for cleansing.

Four great sermons for the week of 3/09/14 are now up at www.baptist-city.com.
Acts 20:20
"And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,"
One of the common responses I get when I write a pointed article on a societal sin or preach a hard sermon against sin is that I should be more loving in my preaching. It is always amazing how the buzzards come out to pick apart an article or sermon by saying that I need to be more like Jesus and write an article or preach a sermon of love.
"While there is no question that the Regime has delayed the individual mandate, Sebelius is still out there on TV as recently as last night saying, 'Oh, no, we haven't.' I mean, the left hand doesn't know what the far-left hand is doing in this bunch, but they are massively arrogant and unqualified, in addition to being extreme, devout leftists." -Rush
