For those who have been here any length of time @Helen is known. She is the grand lady of God for many of us who have known her here and other places. I have been blessed to know her on many different Christian forums over many years. On this point and that one we have disagreed, but we are...

Family's Covid Story

Let us pray now for President Trump and his wife in their time of illness and stress. Our God is always able!

First Judah speaks about his own brother, Joseph [a type of Jesus?]: "And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you. If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: But if...

The idea was posted by a friend as we see here: @bbyrd009 bbyrd009 said: ↑ what does 'saved' even mean?" might be another interesting avenue Some perhaps already have an idea as to where I am on this in the moment. I may allow a few to post before I get my feet wet... As an aside: These...

My wife's only surviving brother passed away on Monday, 7-20-2020. This morning 7-25-2020 my first cousin, with whom I had been very close also died. Please keep us in prayer as we seek God's comfort.

"Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you." Rom 16:16 "All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss." I Cor 16:20 "Greet one another with an holy kiss." II Cor 13:12 "Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss." I Thess 5:26 "Greet ye one...

Here's one saved from a few years ago: An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger, Holly Madison said, “I have my own reality show and I am the smartest and prettiest woman at Playboy, so Americans don’t want me to die.” She...

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10 In my own experience, and from what I have seen or read about in others, "churches" ... that is in the people forming church groups...

Contact with his wife confirms the following: Willie-T is currently in ICU. He went by ambulance Saturday night to the hospital after having a sudden onset VIOLENT, VIOLENT headache. His speech became slurred and he was very weak and dizzy. Turns out he has two brain bleeds, one subdural...

I saw where @marks asked this question on a recent thread and I thought it might be interesting for anyone who is willing to share their reasons or the origin of their name. My own, Amadeus, is very Catholic in origin. I was attending the Catholic Church faithfully in those days and being of...

I saw this a few minutes ago which I had posted here a bit over a month ago, but apparently not many read it. Can any one else see what I was seeing? There is as I believe it the Right hand as well as the Left hand of God. Jesus related this to sheep and goats here: "And he shall set the...

I am scheduled for dental surgery on the Jan 30th. An old crown came out after who knows how many years leaving the old roots in place. I would be ready for that but now my wife and I have contracted the flu. I doubt the dentist will cut on me while I am hacking [coughing] and have a sore...

From a writing more than 8 years ago If we were not speaking of people who attended a particular assembly, but rather of people who are together regularly because of circumstances, such working for the same employer, or living next door to each other, the answer of requiring someone to 'leave...

Consider these quotes: "The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian Doctrine." George Washington "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature." Thomas Jefferson "The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the...

On another thread today, I saw where someone posed that question. I would like to know myself what people do with this question. Are some things essential to everyone in order to please God or to make it the end our course with Him? Then again, just exactly do we mean when we use that word...

@bbyrd009 Jesus' will to live was the will of the flesh. Like in any of us there was an instinctive [proper usage?] desire or purpose to keep himself alive [physical life] and comfortable. Jesus showed us by example what God hopes for from each of us... to make our way equal to God's Way...

Life and Abortion Part I On another thread people were talking about abortions and life, but it had gone off on a tangent from the topic of the OP regarding the writer of Hebrews. Just what exactly is Life to men and what is it to God? To believers, I believe, who understand, Life is what...

All of us need to be told about everything, in a sense. We learned to speak as babies by hearing the words of our parents and/or others. We heard about the things of God from God through our reading of scripture or the hearing of testimonies or hearing a preacher. When it comes to the things of...

"And he [Jesus] is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." Col 1:18 "... even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body." Eph 5:23 Therefore as the church is subject unto...
