🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌏 Thank you family

[@dougtibbetts857]

It’s called obedience and is why the gospel is repentance and faith proven by works !

[@Ridgeair123]

Happy new years men. Please pray for New Orleans and our country.

[@marksarookanian2753]

Great thought!

[@VinceLeeMiller]

Appreciate it, Mark! Glad it resonated with you. Keep pressing on! 💪✨

[@Steadfast4732]

Yes! It’s our love for Christ that motivates our efforts to love Him back, to please Him, to bless Him. It is so rad to think that we can bless the heart of our Heavenly Father. Our obedience is always rewarded. As we press in the Lord reveals himself to us. Through this dwelling we are forever changed. It is the great exchange🤠❤️ Proverbs 3:1-2 NLT My child, never forget the things I have taught you. Store my commands in your heart. [2] If you do this, you will live many years, and your life will be satisfying.

[@VinceLeeMiller]

Absolutely love this, brother! 🙌 Our love for Christ fuels our obedience, and in return, He blesses us beyond measure. The 'great exchange' indeed-our small efforts for His eternal rewards. Proverbs 3:1-2 is such a beautiful reminder to treasure His commands. Keep pressing in and being transformed! 🤠❤️

Listen AND obey. Amen! Thank you Pastor Vince. Happy New Year.

[@VinceLeeMiller]

Such a powerful combo, right? 🙌 Thanks for the encouragement and Happy New Year to you too! May 2025 be filled with blessings and growth.

[@samdoornbos2824]

My plan for this year is to read through Proverbs 12 times, once each month, so hopefully a little more than 10% sinks in.

[@VinceLeeMiller]

Incredible plan, Sam! 📖 Proverbs is packed with wisdom, and immersing yourself in it monthly will surely shape your heart and mind. Praying that God reveals new insights each time you read.

I just tuned into you for the first time. I read your about me page, but I want to know what your theology is , your doctrine. What church are you affiliated with, what you you believe is the gospel, how we are saved, who Is Jesus how we are justified etc... You sound pretty biblically solid, but It's not always easy to know what someone believes until way later after hearing more of their theology. We all know the internet is full of false teachers who sound good but are really bad once you dig into their beliefs. I hope these questions do not offend you. Thanks.

[@VinceLeeMiller]

Hi @mariosangermano, Thank you for tuning in and for your thoughtful questions! I truly appreciate your desire to dig deeper into what I believe-it’s so important to examine teachings carefully in light of Scripture, as the Bereans did in Acts 17:11. Your questions are not offensive at all. In fact, they reflect a discerning heart, which is vital in today’s world where truth can often get muddied. Let me break it down for you: 1. What Church Do I Affiliated With? Our ministry is not directly tied to one specific denomination or church, but my theological perspective is shaped by a biblically grounded, Christ-centered, and gospel-focused approach. I aim to teach and write in a way that is faithful to Scripture and honors God’s Word. 2. What Do You Believe Is the Gospel? The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to earth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again on the third day, defeating sin and death. Through faith in Him, we are reconciled to God, adopted as His children, and given eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:3-4, John 3:16). 3. How Are We Saved? We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). It’s not by works or our own efforts but through trusting in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. 4. Who Is Jesus? Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man (John 1:1-14). He is the second person of the Trinity, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit. He came to reveal the Father, fulfill the law, and provide salvation for mankind. 5. How Are We Justified? We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:28, Galatians 2:16). His righteousness is credited to us, and our sin is placed on Him through His substitutionary atonement on the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21). I want to encourage you to continue testing everything against the Word of God. My prayer is that my teaching always points you to Scripture as the ultimate authority and to Jesus as the ultimate Savior. If there’s ever a concern or question about something I share, I invite you to bring it up so we can discuss it openly. Thanks again for engaging. May God bless you as you seek Him wholeheartedly!
