Scripture of the Week

 

   
Seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised. ~ Ecclesiastes 1:13  Exercised means "to do," "to put into action" (Jeremiah 9:24, `asah, "to do," "Yahweh who exercises lovingkindness"; Revelation 13:12, poieo, "to do," He exercised all authority.

There are two types of Christians… overcomers and non-overcomers. Non-overcomers believe that the goal of salvation is to populate heaven with “saved sinners”. Overcomers know the real goal of salvation is to put on the mind of Christ. Do what He did… crucify the works of the flesh, and get what He got… a crown of Life. Read it for yourself in James 1:12 and Revelation 3:21

Overcomers are professional assassins of their own carnality. An overcomer asks himself three questions every day.
1. Is what I am doing now building Christ-like character?
2. Is what I am doing now producing the fruit of
the Spirit? ~ Galatians 5:22
3. Is what I am doing now helping me overcome the carnal mind?
 
Overcomers rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them into Truth. Overcomers do their own research and use Strong's Concordance to check the true meaning of the words God inspired to be written. 
 
True Christianity has been hijacked by organized religion, celebrity pastors, and get rich preachers. With so much false doctrine in the modern Church most Christians are a lost people - not their salvation, their direction. 
 
They don't know who they are, where they came from, or where they are going. Like the children of Israel after leaving Egypt, they wander aimlessly in the wilderness of Churchianity. 
 
The Lord Bless You and Keep You.
 
 
The purpose of Renew Your Strength is to urge Christians from all denominations to think about what they believe and why they believe it, not debate who's right or wrong.  
 
B.I.B.L.E. Best Instructions Before Leaving Earth
 
To learn the revealed truth of God we must know and understand the true meaning of the words God inspired to be written. Use Strong's Concordance to check the original word before it was translated. Do your own research, make up your own mind, rely on the Holy Spirit to guide you. Our goal is to seek first the Kingdom of God, do the will of the Father, and help our fellow man. We will be judged for what we do (or don't do), not for some of our pet doctrines.
