Our thoughts,

Christians are called to a higher standard of living, and all who take the teaching position should have a sound mind to be fair in temperament. We must be transparent with our children, who can spot the hypocrisy in the church among the self-righteous kind. May we strive to be humble and united, consistent with our faith.

Experiences we have identified throughout the years. If our faith were in men, we'd have left the Kingdom due to the corrupt nonsense witnessed. But thank God for our dedication to Christ and no other, which keeps us going; perseverance.

Sadly, we've had to recognize all sorts of hypocrisy with "online" brethren, also "offline." For instance, in this one, brother B condemns brother C for ego-driven academic pursuits. Brother B is no longer in "fellowship" with brother C, so brother B no longer allows brother C to be part of a specific page and group (or event). Still, only with those who don't make money, when it's for money, brother B magically now says it's "permissible" to allow brother C in the same group or page, so brother B and C now "get along" for the "Gospel," because, well, money (Lk. 16:14).

Yes, many brothers, A to Z, might be well-known to the crowds on Facebook. We keep quiet on calling out names because, in this context, those that don't know aren't affected by it anyways (Phil. 1:18).

Friends, let us be genuine, kind, humble, and servants of our Master; spiritual consistency is a missing jewel, both online and offline. The Devil will "preach the truth" for his agenda. The hypocrites will soon have their Day in court. But we, the faithful, remain focused on the work which lives passionately from within our hearts, governed by the love of His word.

Your servant,
SM

"Cleansing the Temple"
"Water Baptism, Saves?"

In 1 Peter 3:21, we see the explicit inspired words of Peter the Apostle of Jesus the Christ. Was he teaching the Christians of the 1st Century that they were saved by "water?" What exactly did Peter mean within the context? This and more we explore in this exclusive LOCALS podcast session.

POLL question: "was Peter the Apostle married?"

AddedSouls Facebook page

Howdy, friends. The AddedSouls Facebook page is once again going through a change. The team has been wonderful to share their own material on the platform these past years, but it's time to return to its previous efforts which began the work back in 2012. I will once again be creating original content and driving traffic to the page itself (i.e., live streams, study memes, articles, sermons, lessons, podcasts, and so on).

On this LOCALS community I will begin to report and update once again, share vlogs, thoughts and studies, and other things of the kind.

Thank you for remaining with me throughout the years ❤️

Rescued - Transferred - Redeemed
The Kingdom of His beloved Son

You've fallen asleep comfy in your bed, and a fire started in your house. You wake to panic as you become aware of your surroundings, trapped by a wall of lavalike heat. You find yourself in danger, where smoke and flames threaten your life. Your neighbors were capable of seeing the threat and had since called for help. The firefighters arrive on the scene and immediately find you in your bedroom--time for a rescue. Are you yet seen in a location of satety? No, not yet. There still needs to be a transfer from the site of dakness, smoke, and fire to an area of light, fresh air, and safety. And so the firefighters guide you out of certain death into a secure location. You have now been saved, not without damage, trauma, and loss. But you've gained your life and get to learn fowared another day.

You've become idle in your sinful behavior and practices. You wake to panic as you become aware of your eternal punishment. A neighbor cares for you enough to share Jesus with you. Will you obey the gospel?

The reception of forgivness was the desired result of all who willfully gave their lives to Christ, submissive to His spiritual operation (Col. 2:11-12). Paul, the apostle, speaking to his brethren in Colossae, was accurate in reminding them of their reconciliation. And how the Word of God they had chosen to hear produced fruit for the Kingdom. The Kingdom was God's preplanned location where all found within would have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

A domain needs a King, Christ Jesus. A Kingdom has boundaries, borders, law and order, and justice. This Kingdom is of a peculiar kind, and we should all seek first legal citizenry (Mt. 6:33). His Kingdom is the body, the church (Col. 2:1,18,24). The body for it has organic members all united for the purposed function--the church fo its assembly, it's family. The way in? Being a repentant believer confessing Christ, immersed into water calling on His name, in order to receive the forgiveness of your sins, being added to His Kingdom, local assembly (i.e. "rescued, transferred, redeemed"). 

This good news of Jesus Christ "was proclaimed in all creation" to give humankind a way out of the flames and sinful consequences. And we are wise to hear its call.

Is your house on fire?

Ref. Colossians 2:13-24

Your servant,

SM
