Kind of a PSA I suppose, but if you run Adobe Flash (Player), please make sure you visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayerand upgrade to the latest version. A 0day vulnerability was discovered due to some other events, and Adobe released a patch for it the other day. Consequences may include...

So, do you think the brou-ha-ha yesterday was just a couple random glitches or something more?

Romans 8:33-34 Who can bring an accusation against God’s elect? God is the One who justifies. Who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is the One who died, but even more, has been raised; He also is at the right hand of God and intercedes for us. That's a powerful proclamation when you are as...

Well, I hope you enjoy them enough to participate! :D I'm thankful to have you with us, and look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy the site!

We watched the Duggars as well in our household. Not necessarily because they were Christian, but because we found the mechanics and economics of a household with 19 kids to be interesting. It's also cleaner TV. Interestingly enough, we now watch the Bates spin-off show and honestly find them to...

To summarize varied and complicated beliefs, gnostics belief boils down to: matter = bad and spirit = good. Therefore, anything in creation that has mass is evil. Christianity, when it collides with this notion, can often adopt a quasi-gnostic flavor of this in stating that flesh is bad simply...

Okay folks, stepped in and did a little moderation. Please discuss the topic and realize that there will be disagreement on this particular topic, but that it doesn't necessarily mean a view is heretical if different from your own. Error in eschatology can be righted and is simply not essential...

Luke 9:23 HCSB Then He said to them all, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily,and follow Me. I caution everyone not to get caught up in gnostic dualism. The flesh is not evil simply because it's flesh.

The previous moratorium on gay marriage threads is lifted. I do request that everyone remain respectful in any future threads, as these will be closely monitored.

Shalom and welcome! We strive to make that sort of fellowship and community common here, but that's easier said than done. A lot of this starts with prayer not only for personal understanding, but also for remembering that the other person has a soul, even if they may be in error on something...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2015/06/23/every-state-flag-is-wrong-and-here-is-why/ This is some much needed humor in a time when a lot of things are going on.

My friend, Mark 10:8 is always easier said than lived out! That said, your responsibility and commitment is to your wife and kids and so I only echo what has been said. There comes a point where you'll need to stand up to both father and father-in-law so that they are clear that you'll love...

Well, in respect to the OP, I see some of the tongues language as problematic because it becomes a litmus test for some manifestation of a form of second baptism. In many circles it's a sort of faith test that distinguishes "the real" (mature) Christians from lesser Christians and I find this...

Mel, the "God does everything for a reason" saying get's really old, really fast when it's you on the side of the tragedy or hurt. I have been in a bit of brooding thought lately as I work through a story that happened to some friends of a friend. I think one is almost inhuman if there is not a...

Your blanket statement would imply the latter. My point is that previous generations would not have understood the cited passages as we do post-Wilberforce and post-Civil War. The Bible was written in a time of slavery, it covered slavery though perhaps not in the way everyone now makes it so...

Because you're armchair quarterbacking anywhere from 150 plus years down the road with a couple general verses, which is easy to do when it costs you nothing and wider society agrees with you! I'm sorry, but I grow very tired of this anachronistic moralizing that goes on these days. It costs...

I know it's early, and I've not even had the opportunity to read it myself, but I am seeing some early responses to the leak of Laudato Si, the pope's encyclical on climate change and other moral-scientific issues. I consider myself a creation care style person at heart because I enjoy the...

Please join us in praying very hard for this church and the families of the slain victims! This is a horrendous and terrible tragedy, and no church should experience this evil. Please also pray for the killer to be caught and justice administered swiftly. Please pray hard! In case you have not...

I agree with you there! I've been reading a lot lately books like Robert Putnam's Our Kids: The American Dream In Crisis and Charles Murray's Coming Apart: The State of White America which detail this trend, if you will. It was once thought of as a "black problem" when detailed in the 1970s by...
