LCG: If you would submit to being teachable you and the church would not have so many problems!

 

One can always count on the Living Church of God and Doug Winnail to always be positive and grace-filled in their messages to the faithful. Usually. Well, not often, actually.

Are LCG members remaining teachable? 

Are LCG members malleable enough to receive the word from on high or at least from Charlotte? 

Are LCG members responsive to instruction? 

Are LCG members humble enough to be teachable?

Why are LCG members' hearts so hardened...or, is it really the ministry and leadership whose hearts are hardened?

If LCG members remain teachable then they and the church can avoid problems and make it into the glorious Kingdom to come...soon. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but soon. Within 15 years, at least. Maybe earlier, maybe later, but soon. 

Regardless of when, send us your money to prove you are teachable.

Are You Teachable? The Bible reveals that God is looking for an important quality in Christians and future leaders in His Kingdom—teachability. Abraham was responsive to God’s instructions (Genesis 18:19). Moses was a capable leader, but he was humble and teachable (Numbers 12:3). David exhibits this same attitude when he writes “Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes” (Psalm 119:33). Solomon asked God for wisdom and an “understanding heart” so he could learn to rule wisely (1 Kings 3:9). When Jesus said the “meek” and “poor of spirit” will be blessed, He emphasized the need to be teachable and willing to learn (Matthew 5:3– 5). The Scriptures also reveal that when we harden our hearts to God’s instructions, we will reap serious consequences (Proverbs 28:14). Let’s strive to be teachable so we can avoid problems and gain a reward in the Kingdom of God.
Have a profitable Sabbath, Douglas S. Winnail

David C. Pack Is All Throughout Your Bible!

David C. Pack Is All Throughout Your Bible!

Marc Cebrian

It must be very hard for Dave Pack to do any type of Bible study without seeing himself "pop" off the pages. God has granted him more titles than any other human being in Creation (take that, Jesus Christ). He has preached to more people than anyone on the face of the earth (take that, Paul) AND he has studied the Bible more than anyone on the face of the earth (take that, everyone). After all...SOMEBODY has to do it.

Here is a list of the titles and scriptures Dave Pack has preached that are about him. He's walked some back, but that would mean God did NOT inspire him to see it in the first place.

UCG: Can You Advance Up Its Progressive Steps To Salvation?

 

Like most mystery religions and works-based belief systems, the United Church of God has a progression of steps that members need to observe in order to receive salvation. It is an uphill climb that most will never be able to advance up the steps on. Scripture even states that people cannot do this. Yet, here we are.

Christianity for centuries has understood that salvation is from one source and that is granted freely. Yet the COG and others make it a burdensome load to carry and try to accomplish. The COG is always in an uphill battle trying to please its god.
