March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Now you say aspiring to be more, and have more, but is it wrong to have a better walk with the Lord? I mean are we to be content lets say being lukewarm (if we were as most of churchanity is) or shouldn't we repent as it says in Revelation?

No of course not...

"But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." 1 Corinthians 12:31 (KJB)

See, being content is different than growing in grace. It's say having food and rainment, let us therewith be content. The basics of life we are to be content with, but not the desire to grow in faith and to be closer to God, and walk more in the Spirit. Scripture also talks of having a performance out of that which you have. And also "Search the scriptures..." Clearly if one is content in that respect, they would have no motivation to search, which we are clearly called to do.

Being content with things like where you live, what you own, where you get to go, stuff like that. More than anything, it is addressing how you feel about the material things of life. And of course you know we are to focus on the spiritual things, so that should make material things unimportant.

Lukewarm is one who claims a belief and faith, yet "in works deny Him". They have no performance out of what God has given them. I believe these people have not fully forsaken all that they have. They have not fully committed to a life with Jesus Christ. They are claiming they believe, but their fruits show a lack of good works.
