Pastor Ray Bentley says we often times disguise our sinful hearts with the look of on-fire believers. Is the sinner who acts like a Christian any better off than the sinner who acts like a sinner?

The Lord wants us to come to Him in honesty. If you are critical of Him or want to argue with Him, He can handle that. What God can't handle is indifference or apathy.
Initiative, hard work, and persistence are things that make one successful, however they do not necessarily translate into the spiritual arena. God isn't all that interested in all you've done. He's interested in how you rest in what He's done.

When speaking the mouth reproduces verbally what is already in the heart. Pastor Ray Bentley says our speech is the external megaphone for our internal condition. Our conversations in unguarded moments may be the most revealing about our character.
The truth is that man's sinfulness is not revealed by what we say or do but by how we respond to Jesus Christ. It is possible then to be outwardly moral and yet totally lost spiritually.

The Word of God is like a seed, only unlike any you've ever known before. This seed produces fruit that will last for eternity. Like a seed the Word of God takes root under specific conditions.

The greatest battle that faces the church of Jesus Christ is not from without. It is from within. Those within that are giving people a false gospel based on good works rather than I am a sinner saved by the unbelievable amazing grace of God.

We don't find the Savior though it may seem like that from our perspective. The truth is, once you actually know Christ and begin to read the Gospel, you find out the opposite is true.
How many men have made tragic errors because they were afraid of what other people would think? It's possible to get in such a pattern never wondering what does God think.

Becoming a Christian won't protect you from the difficulties of life. But if you become a Christian and commit your life to Jesus, God will see you through every storm you face
We should recognize the benefit of the storms in our lives. Jesus has aloud these storms. He wants you to see Him in the midst of the storm so that when the storm is raging at its greatest you have absolutely nothing to be to be afraid of.
Pastor Ray says I believe it is a serious matter for Christians to defile or pollute themselves because the Bible tells us our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. God is much more concerned about pollution of His people than the environment.
