Sin

Is It Curiosity or Gossip?

By Brother Michel Lankford Question: Is asking about someone out of curiosity still gossip and still a sin? Everything first hinges upon answering the “WHAT,” the “WHY,” and the “HOW,” of any situation. It is the true answer to those questions that ultimately determine whether or not you are sinning. First, always make sure that when you are asking about an issue of theological importance, (such as, “is this a sin?“); You are ALWAYS defining your key terms the same way that God defines things in His Word. Remember, changing God’s Definitions for things is a sin, for certain (Isaiah Read more…

The SAME Grace that Saves Me is the SAME Grace that Helps to OBEY God’s Commandments

“I COULDN’T Obey Successfully WITHOUT His Grace, BUT With His Grace, I CAN.” As a 30-year veteran of discipleship ministry, I always find it more than a little bit staggering Whenever I try to help Christians to obey any Biblical Principle so that they can overcome their challenges in life. You can give people clear sound and direct Biblical advice, and the knee-jerk response will almost always be the same. You know what it is. All of us have heard this reply, and many of us have used it before: “We don’t have to do that, we’re Under Grace.” Sometimes Read more…

Have I Done Right or Have I Sinned?

Brother Michel Michel Lankford Many people go around aimlessly wondering if a certain behavior or attitude is a sin. They constantly ask things like, “Is it a sin if…” You would be surprised how often that question comes across my news feeds every week. Is (X) behavior a sin? I get asked this A LOT. I would say that question hits my news about 2 to 3 times every week. That is why I am motivated to write this post. People who ask the question are often woefully misinformed about what sin means in God’s eyes. They are not using Read more…

Is it a Sin to Support LGBT?

By Brother R. Michel Lankford It is a sin and a LACK of GENUINE Love to support ANY sin; but most especially something that God calls an ABOMINATION; or supporting a sin that He specifically says WILL NOT inherit the Heavenly Kingdom. That would be like saying that you don’t really care if the person overcomes their sins and if they REALLY make it to Heaven or they don’t. If that be the case, how “LOVING” are you really?! Think about it from YHWH Almighty God’s point of view, and NOT from the FALSE RELIGION of political correctness. How LOVING Read more…
