I am new to this site, Nancy. I got tired of spending too much time attempting to share the gospel to the unsaved on FB and other sites and thought it would be good to reach into my Bible studies to see what I could pull out. The writing I enjoy because I am in love with words -- always have...

Another pastime I don't understand, piercing. Why? I don't get it.

I don't like them. My opinion is that, because they don't keep their soft glow, in no time they are unrecognizable and blend into one long display of nothingness. I mean this in love, really.

John 14:19, "....because I live, ye shall live also."

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the seas, though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof, Selah...

2 Corinthians 7:11 -- One of the inworkings or fruits of repentance, carefulness. Carefulness makes one careful not to fall into the same behavior, to walk circumspectly, and to realize one is not beyond falling into that same sin. When we judge others, we need to be careful to judge them with...

Lots of things could be placed in a list of common daily responsibilities. Get to work, pay the bills, wash the car, feed the dog, cut the grass, take out the trash. These chores could be a part of an everyday routine. In addition, if one has a vision for achievement, whether it is hobby or...

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! There was a real move of God in those days, brother, one that swept through...

Do you memorize Scriptures? If, after a good while being saved, you don't have many verses memorized, why is that so? Much like many of my longtime Christian friends who are students of the Bible, I must have hundreds of verses memorized, many merely due to singing them. What works well for...

Where there is no vision, the people perish. (Prov. 29:18) God has a vision and purpose for us and through that vision or calling we have motivation for that fulfillment. And whether we are called to be a brick layer or minister, its going to require preparation. When I was saved, God did not...

As an adventurous boy of about fourteen, my father took my brother and me to a “professional wrestling match” that featured what in those days were termed midgets, as well as larger, stronger men with whom I was very impressed. I told myself I wanted to be a wrestler when I grew up. However...

Prophecy has not ceased. I would agree that a word of prophecy is too often not from God, but the gift remains, as do healings, tongues, and words of wisdom and knowledge. These were never taken from the church. In reality, it is the commandments and doctrines of men that have caused them to...

I think it is important to give attention to all of Paul's words when considering the meaning of what he termed "the unity of the faith" in his letter to the Ephesians: 1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and...

______________________________ Very good reply, Illini1959. I enjoyed reading your remarks and will be mindful of them. After Jesus spoke those words to not judge, he went on to say John 8:26 "I have many things to say and to judge of you:..." so He wasn't saying, in any way, that judgments...

Absolutely, Grace, they are the same man. In the first letter, Paul wrote to tell them to get that man out of their fellowship due to his sin. In his second letter to the Corinthians, he had to straighten out the church for being overly judgmental and refusing to believe that man had actually...

Thank you, Amadeus for the welcome. I like the words from this passage because they seem to encourage discussion on aspects of the faith, Jude 1:3, ".....it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the...

___________________________ I am assuming, amadeus, you type in a large font because of your reading ability. I understand that well, so I'll keep that in mind.....As a person who was raised in an intense blue collar location full of factories, foundries and mills, it was uncommon for me...

Was it an error on Paul's part when he wrote in 1 Cor. 2:15, "The spiritual man makes judgments about all things," or, as it states in the KJV, "a spiritual man judges all things"? Does this give consent to Christians to make judgments regarding the practices, personalities, and beliefs of...

Episkopos, do you, or do you not, believe in eternal salvation?
