Lord, please forgive me...

My Lord, please forgive me, you have given me so many shape of fine and good swords to defend myself, but I did not use them! I keep on pick and choose which is the best sword among them! Until the enemies came to devour and defeat me for a time! Then the sword will be unused!

Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

Lord, please give me a new heart.

Zechariah 4:6
So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.

Not by might nor by power, but by Your Spirit.

stay cool do not sin....!

Hebrew 10:24-25

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

spur in fellowship...and encouragement....over VPP, KJV, NIV, ESV, CUV.....over our carnality?

Why then we have said this to one another, "I do not have a heart to love you!"

Carnal Christians.

When we take a look on every Bible, most of their cover has these wording, "The Holy Bible." So far I had not come across any Bible has "The Perfect Bible" printed on the cover page. I believe the Bible is inspired and sacred.

Some one wrote pages about "there is no carnal Christian." They do not believe a true Christian has any trace of carnality in them, so he wrote Christian are spiritually not fit to be called a carnal Christian. He does not believe in a carnal Christian. But they kept on making divisions among Christian, and fight over this and that....they do not see this is a kind of carnal Christian.

But Paul wrote in this way, he said "division" is a type of carnality in Christian.

1 Corinthians 3:1
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:3
For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?


1 Corinthians 3:4
For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

Are you not carnal? You say there is no carnal Christian! But you continue in split, internal fighting, law suit, quarrels, strife, envying, divisions..... I put into another way, a carnal Christian like me is an unpolished and uncut diamond in a stone. I say this is about myself. Unpolished.

Is there so called carnal pastor? Think...when some of us say, I follow John Calvin, I follow Martin Luther, I follow John Wesley, I follow Cho Yong Gi, I follow the Bible, I follow Jesus Christ......and we strife over these Bible versions,

Are we following Jesus Christ?

Does John Calvin died for us on the cross to save us?
