This is taken from a sermon called "Confronting Calvinism" by Eugene Prewitt: It was transcribed by Google Transcribe and me and it is not perfect (especially capitalization and punctuation); Sorry.

The ten commandments are ten moral principles that God says human beings are to live by. A list of explanations for them are as follows: We are born, on average, or in general with an inclination to: ...gravitate toward authority figures that most closely resemble an ideal that we fashion...

As much as I talk about doctrine on this website, I'd much rather be talking about Jesus. Oh, my Jesus. I know that He is the Truth, and that, in a very real sense, Christ is doctrine (as one of my favorite preachers, CD Brooks used to like to say), but my favorite subject is Christ's very...

NEW AND IMPROVED?? When I first started this thread, the comments quickly turned to contentious debate, as could be expected. I got symptoms of COVID-19 Sunday evening and, along with my daughter (who works in a hospital ICU), I got tested first thing Monday morning, and today (Jan 18), we...

I've been known to be a little scatter-brained. I tend to think that everything relates to everything. Please forgive me if I get off track. I'm getting to the point in my participation here that I'm beginning to think of myself as invested in this virtual community. So I care about the people...

Sometimes I really shudder as I feel like many people here would literally persecute others for their beliefs it were socially and/or legally acceptable. There is so much hostility. Am I the only one who feels that way?

There's a difference between liberality and liberalism, liberalism and leftism, and even further yet, there is a big difference between leftism and leftists. Leftism is demonic. Leftists are sinners that Jesus came to die for and save. WHEN WILL WE LEARN THAT WE WRESTLE NOT...?(Ephesians 6:12)...

Good medical care is priceless—but wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t need doctors anymore? Well, did you know there is a proven way to put a lot of doctors out of work? … Take care of your body! Scientists have sounded the alarm about cholesterol, tobacco, stress, obesity, and alcohol, so why...

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6) Let me be the first to confess: I am not doing this to the extent that I believe I should be. It troubles me greatly. I want Jesus to come back for His church as soon as possible. But I...

I make a lot of people uncomfortable and angry because I don't talk very much about grace and faith. The thing is, there's no shortage of coverage on that subject in today's church. No shortage at all. NONE AT ALL. And I've never been one to belabor the obvious. No one here is being deprived of...

@amadeus @JunChosen @robert derrick @CharismaticLady @charity @Nancy @Backlit @Tong2020 @marks @Hidden In Him @Christophany @GEN2REV @ReChoired @Ziggy @An Apologetic Sheepdog I think it is taken for granted that most Christians have basically the same reason for being so. But I also think it's...

It has been referred to as the Christian’s greatest hope. From the prophets and patriarchs of old, to the early church, to the Protestant Reformers, the visible, literal, and glorious coming of Jesus Christ has been their most cherished expectation. But that seems to have become a lost relic to...

As much as I hate to explain jokes, the title of this thread is a nod to the "Seinfeld" episode entitled "The Soup Nazi," wherein the proprietor of a very popular soup eatery screeches: "NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!" at people who do not follow his ordering instructions to the letter. It is practically...

The Millennial Man The vast kingdom of Babylon was opulent and prosperous, yet Nebuchadnezzar the king stirred in his royal bed. How long would this golden era last, he wondered, and what would become of his powerful empire when he was gone? With these disturbing questions in mind, the...

What are some of your personal favorite Passages or verses from the Gospels, Jesus's words especially, but any parts of the 4 Gospels are welcome. I'll start: John 4 31In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not...

Christian patriotism, loyalty to the law and government of the Most High, is the loftiest aspiration that can ever come to any soul. The separation of religion and the State is one of the most important questions that any people can ever be called upon to consider in connection with Christian...

“I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.” Ecclesiastes 3:17 THE judgment of the great day is an event certain to take place. “He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness...

There is a strange belief on the part of many that the great God-written law of the Ten Commandments was actually a part of the ceremonial law of Moses which contained scores of specific regulations. They do not see the decalogue as being distinct and totally unique because of its divine...

The first important fact about hell is this: The unsaved do not go to any place of punishment as soon as they die, but are reserved in the grave until the day of judgment to be punished. Christ explicitly taught this truth in the well-known parable of the wheat and the tares. After the...
