Powder Puff Christians

November 6, 2015 by Ken Blue

Dr. Blue declares rightfully that a “Soft society makes for soft Christians.”

Soft Christians
Never should a Christian put their trust in the government (Amos 6:1).  They should always put their trust in God else they become like those of Sodom (Ezekiel 16:49).  With an abundance of idleness comes a lack of grace which is manifested in many ways.

The average Christian wants an easy Christian walk with the Lord.  They would like everything to be wonderful all of the time, but that is not the true Christian walk.  Jesus walked a road of adversity that many soft Christians shy away from, and when they do, they are shying away from Christ.

The purpose for adversity is to prepare the Christian for more adversity.  Every Christian will be confronted with adversity sooner or later.  The soft Christian will turn away from it as fast as they can, and therefore not grow in Christ likeness.

For some reason, young people have developed this idea that when you get old, then you can grow up and live for God.  They neglect to think of the difficulties that an old saint has to deal with; things that they can so easily do in their youth.  The adversity of their youth has prepared them to live a life as an hardened soldier for the Lord during their time of greater adversity.  If they have developed well when they were young in the Lord, then they will have a much easier time serving the Lord in their old age.  But, if they have not faced adversity in their youth, then they often fall away.  Mostly they fall into some form of Christian facade like ministry, or they will back slide altogether.

Start living your life for God NOW!  Don’t become a soft Christian. You may not make it!

Sowing and Reaping

October 28, 2015 by admin

Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind

Sowing and reapingHosea 8:7 “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind…”

There is a principle of life called sowing and reaping.  You have probably heard it said that you will reap what you sow.  The world does not live by this principle.  It is happy to influence people to recklessly go through life ignorant of any consequences for their actions.  This is not a Bible teaching.  The Bible teaches that for every action, there are consequences.  You will reap what you sow.  If you sow substance, you will reap substantial benefits.  If you sow wind, you will reap more wind.

Dr Blue uses this principle to show how it is more important to emphasize character than it is to look at talent.  Talent can be developed, but character can not.  A person of character can be taught any talent, but a person of talent cannot be taught character.

The most foolish thing a person can do is to waste their life.  Today we are living in an age where lives are wasted wholesale.  God never intended for lives to be wasted.  He intends for lives to be full of purpose.  He intends for proper sowing to be done so that correct reaping can be accomplished.

What we sow, can have far reaching effects.  Like sowing seeds to the blustery wind will blow all over the place, so does living a poor Christian life.  “Christian mistakes” cannot be covered up.  They are seeds that are sown.  They will grow in unwanted fields and destroy innocent lives.

If you want to see how your life can have far reaching effects on others, this AUDIO SERMON is something you need to hear.  It will cause you to evaluate how you are living for the Lord so that you can lessen the problems you pass on to those you love.

BOOK: Islam vs. Christianity

June 19, 2015 by Ken Blue

Islam and Christianity

Islam and Christianity: Are they similar?

Dr. Blue is “right on” about Islam and Christianity.  He digests the information that he has spent a lifetime accumulating, and presents it in an “easy to read” and informative fashion.

The advocates of Islam would have the unsuspecting world believe that It and Christianity are just about the same.  In this way, Islam is drawing in millions of people today.  Islam and Christianity are actually opposed to each other, with Islam often taking a violent position against this world’s followers of Christ.

Every unsuspecting soul should read this book before giving in to the ways of Islam.  Young Christians certainly should read this book so they can see the way that Islam is infiltrating the ranks of the church by leading them away.  The information in this book should be taught in every school that is serious about teaching objectivity.  In fact, a copy of this book should be in every home today.

In this book, Dr. Blue presents a comprehensive comparison and refutation of the supposed similarities between Islam and Christianity. In one reader’s words this book: “…reveals the true roots of the acts of aggression and hostility being perpetrated by the adherents to Islamic ‘truth’.”

MUST A PERSON REPENT TO BE SAVED?

 Saving Faith and Repentance

MUST A PERSON REPENT TO BE SAVED

BY Ken Blue

Certainly, there’s no shortage of Scripture on the subject of repentance. The shortage appears to be in the understanding of where, and how the word is used in Scripture. Strictly speaking, one may repent and still not be saved. Yes, repentance is a vital part of salvation. However, we discover that after we are saved, we spend the rest of our life repenting.

Now, in the matter of salvation, faith and repentance are just two sides of the same coin. Repentance is a “change of mind.” The Bible says God repented. “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” Jonah 3:10.  When God saw their repentance, He also repented! They turned and God turned. So, repentance is a change of mind that parallels turning.

When a person puts his faith in Jesus, he is believing. By believing he changed his mind about two things. One, he needed a Savior, and two, Jesus would save him. The Holy Spirit moves in and through the Word, begins a process we call Christian growth. Not all believers grow at the same pace, and it is a day by day decision. Paul said, “I die daily…”

[perfectpullquote align=”right” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]The longer you are saved, the more you understand that your problem is not your sins, but a sinful heart![/perfectpullquote]

I never tell a person he must repent, or turn from his sins. It only frustrates the grace of God, and leaves the convert confused. One person sows, another waters, but God gives the increase. Why not trust Him to bring about the change in the new born? When a sinner exercises saving faith, he is repenting! I think it is safe to say, in the context of saving faith, that faith is a synonym for repentance.

I never worry about the sinners’ repentance. I have discovered, once he believes in his heart, he has taken the first step of repentance. He will find that it is a lifelong process after that. Is there anything in your life, right now, of which you need to repent? The longer you are saved, the more you understand that your problem is not your sins, but a sinful heart! I know from personal experience.

WHY NO CHRISTIAN HAS AUTHORITY OR POWER TO HEAL

October 3, 2011 by Ken Blue

heal
(Do I see Oral Roberts, the healer, with glasses?)

There are many today preying on the sick, hurting, and infirmed, under the pretense that they have a special message or power from God to set them free. These men and women are false teachers and making merchandise of the hurting by selling their books, tapes, and seminars.

I can prove to you that no person on earth today has the gift of healing as taught in the Bible. In fact, my book on Why Bible Believers do not Speak in Tongues, silences all of them, and no one has or can refute it.

I will give a list of questions on this subject. They are simple, and the respondent should be strait forward with his or her answers. Please don’t waste my time with your beliefs or hearsay. We want the truth.

  1. Do you believe the miracle working power Jesus and the disciples had are present today?
  2. Do you know anyone with those powers?
  3. Do you know anyone who was dead three days or more and was raised from the dead?
  4. Do you know of any mentally retarded person who was healed by the gift of healing?
  5. Do you know anyone blind from birth, and a faith healer restored their sight?
  6. Do you know anyone who could not walk for 40 years, and was restored by a faith healer?
  7. Do you know a miracle worker who walks on water?
  8. Do you know a miracle worker who feed thousands with a little boy’s lunch?
  9. Do you know anyone with ALS that was healed by a faith healer?
  10. Do you know anyone who had Alzheimer’s that was healed by a faith healer?

If you have positive answers to the above, please send us their name and address so we may contact them.

The above ten questions should be enough to get us started. Now, before you answer; yes I believe the entire Bible. Because I know how to rightly divide it, I don’t believe in Faith Healers or any of their claims today. However, proof is sufficient. Kingdom miracles fazed out as that gospel was rejected, and the new gospel of grace was introduced by Paul.
