RighteousWretch

Our new era begins today. We are now Righteous Wretch. Same theology, same quality along with a more direct focus on the Gospel. With this new branding, we can directly link what we are doing to the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. When you wear Righteous Wretch gear you are wearing a statement to the world: I am wretched in Adam due to sin, but Righteous in Christ due to His work on the cross and saving grace. This directly connects us all with Romans 5. I encourage you to take time out of your day to read through that chapter and meditate on it in prayer. You will get asked, “what does Righteous Wretch mean? What does it stand for?” As Peter says in 1 Peter 3:15 “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.” Be prepared to give a reason for the hope that is within you: Our hope is in Jesus Christ alone and His finished work upon the cross applied to us by God’s grace through faith, upon us wretched sinners. We want the focus of our brand going forward to be directly tied to this Gospel message. It is meant to be an edifying reminder to us all. When we put that Righteous Wretch logo on – we remember our calling to something greater than our petty selfish interests – which we are called to die to. We remember this simple biblical truth: we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, by Christ alone, according to the scriptures alone, to the glory of God alone. We will now directly focus on uplifting, edifying and building men in the church to faithfully live out their calling in this broken, dark and dying world. Soon you will see a new range of content from us specifically crafted around Biblical truths made for you with the purpose of assisting you in your daily walk with God. Now, my fellow Righteous Wretches, let us all rise each day with intentional purpose in our hearts to serve God faithfully and love our neighbors. Proverbs 24:16 “for the righteous falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.” Nick – Founder #god #faith #Jesus #christianity #jesuschrist

There are so many things that are learned the longer you walk with the Lord.

What was supposed to be a re-conquest of Christian lands taken by Islamic forces has gone down in history as one of the most controversial periods in human history. Why do you think the multiple crusades to reclaim Christian lands have become such a hot top even hundreds of years later? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

If the human body is reconstituted at the end of the age, risen again to stand before God in final judgment – why does it matter how the body decomposed? God is able to raise every cell and recombine them into flesh and place your soul back into the lifeless corpse for that great and terrible day of the Lord. Why does this matter and why do Christians argue over it? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

This is an age-old question. Why would God send humans to a place not made for them, hell was made to torment beings of a higher state/level – we can only imagine what that means for the humans who will spend eternity there. Why do you think God did not make a place of torment appropriate for the creature known as mankind? Why did God opt to send humanity to the place of torment for these spiritual beings? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

There are actually many views on this. For example, Jesus told the thief on the cross he would be with him in ‘paradise’ that day. What is paradise? Is that Heaven? Why not just say Heaven? Maybe paradise is the side of Abraham bosom where Lazarus and went and could see the rich man being tormented across the impassible gulf. Where do you think the Christians who will die today go? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

With the US Midterm elections just about here, many are wondering what the outcome will be and how power may or may not shift across many governmental levels. However, against this national backdrop many Christians remain calm and unbothered by the actual outcome for they know all things come from the hand of God, even election results. God’s will is tied to His eternal decree and therefore is unstoppable. If you have ever heard the phrase “God can’t…” and it doesn’t violate a law of logic, you need not believe the statement. For God controls all things, the good and the evil, the outcome of all things work together according to the counsel of His will. Nothing in this world happens apart from or against or contrary to, the will of God – in fact what you see happen in the world, is God working out His will according to Paul: Ephesians 1:11:"In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will."

Man… so many. I used to believe in the pre trib rapture – so much so that when I came across another Christian who did not believe it, I seriously wondered if they were saved. I had tied my eschatology directly to the Gospel and didn’t even realize it. At the time I did not even have a category for primary and secondary doctrines – never even heard of that concept. Since that time and graduating from Liberty University with BA in Religion, I now find myself firmly in the Reformed Theology camp while still recognizing there are many millions of Christians who do not share my exact theology and yet are very much brothers and sisters in Christ. Together, we have far more in common with each other than we ever will with the world. What about you? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

For me it was the book of Romans. When I got to chapter 9 and was kindly walked through it by an old friend of mine, the scale fell off and I was for the very first time able to see the Sovereignty of God on full display. I at first felt as though I never heard of this God, never knew Him. Seeing who God really was in the pages of Scripture for the first time and concluding that the theology I was raised with was false, was very hard. Coming to terms with the Doctrines of Grace was one of the hardest things I ever did. What about you? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

So many Christians live in fer of losing their salvation. Roman Catholics have a concept call “Mortal Sins”. The truth is, you cannot do anything, commit any sin so terrible you can undue the work of Christ on the cross, break the seal of the Holy Spirit again, Spiritually die again – having to be born yet again and so on.. The verses that talk about falling away, are for those “professing Christians” who were never actually born again, they were only externally looking like Christians and lying the entire time. Know that you are secure in Christ, and as Paul said: For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-38 ESV. #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

There is a lot of conversation and confusion about the Bible’s teaching on Free Will. Free Will seems natural, normal and reasonable to the human mind. This is one give away that it is an unbiblical concept crafted by fallen man who desires to be the potter rather than the clay. 2 times in Scripture Free Will is denied as having any part to play in salvation: John 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. Romans 9:16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy. #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

The pre-tribulation rapture is a major secondary doctrine in the Christian church in the United States. This was not always the case; in fact, this doctrine came about in the mid-19th century. If you were to go back to the American Revolutionary period, you could not locate a single sermon or book on the subject. This fact of history is often shocking to anybody who grew up being taught the pre-trib position, because they’re never told its origin and history. Did you grow up being taught this version of the rapture? Do you still believe it today? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

I find that those who have the greatest desire to tell me what the Bible actually says, don’t even believe the Bible. That being the case, why in the world should I take them seriously? They don’t believe it, so why were they quoting it? They think it is all fake anyways. They just undercut any ground they had to stand on. #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

Okay... Take your BEST shot here... let’s see what we can come up with! #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

This is another major topic that divides the Christian church. What do you believe the bible teaches about this?

You can give your all to the world. Work harder than the next person, cheat your clients and competitors, use any means necessary to accomplish your professional goals. At the end you will find you are just as empty as when you began. You will find somewhere along the way you lost your soul. You lost who you were. Maybe it wasn’t a long slow process over many years, maybe you were confronted with one choice, one decision, and you made the wrong one, and now you can’t go back. You can undo it. Hear the grace of God: you are not too far gone. You can come back. You can repent. Look at the life and story of the prodigal son. He went out into the world, and it ate him up. One day he came to his senses, realized his mistakes and returned to his father. You can do the exact same thing. Repent of your sins and return to your heavenly Father. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?” Matthew 16:26 “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” Isaiah 1:18 “Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more” Romans 5:20 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13 #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare

Some say John 3:16, others will say Phil 4:13. It is true those two verses are used A LOT. What other verses have you seen misused? #god #christianity #faith #jesus #SpiritualGrowth #FaithJourney #ChristianLiving #Inspiration #Hope #GodsPlan #ChristianLife #Motivation #SpiritualWarfare
