William, welcome to the community! lforrest took care of the linkage, but you can also find the rules link on every page at the left-hand bottom of each page. It's located in the bottom left-hand corner of the white area where all of the content is at. In regards to the acronyms, we don't have...

I just don't follow through with resolutions...so my wife and I are sitting down tonight after the little one goes to bed to come up with some goals. I sat down with my Pastor yesterday and we worked out some goals for our church to present to everyone. Goals versus resolutions may be a...

I've always assumed that Adam told Eve not to touch the fruit. I've based this on the passages where Adam is said to be the first sinner: Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned--...

Because of Jesus and his work, not the perfection of Paul.

I just finished the mailer that you'll receive probably sometime later today! We wanted to take the time to wish everyone a very, very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Please don't forget to take some time and read and reflect upon what it means that God sent his only Son here to Earth to...

Same here Dodo. I don't like Bibles on the Kindle or Nook because I don't find them as easy to navigate. I much prefer turning through those leafs of paper with that exquisite rustling sound. I occasionally consult a desktop or mobile app like the Bible App, but not very often. Gimme paper. It...

A good and true post horsecamp. God begins to work and sanctify us, but that does not mean we suddenly lose the ability to sin and become perfect people. Romans 7:13-24 details this struggle even though many try to write it off as something that took place prior to Paul's conversion. This is a...

Honestly you are fine with any of them. The Chronological can get a little weird because it's out of the traditional order, but since it's a kindle that's probably not such a big deal since you won't have another Bible laying around - which was my biggest gripe about a Bible for a single purpose...

An important point, Angelina. Cessationists tend to overrun this argument by saying that so-called modern prophets are asserting that they are on par (equal to) the prophets of the Old and New Testaments. When the Bible speaks to gifts, such as 1 Corinthians 12:10, it clearly is speaking to...

You have my prayers. God is always with you in this.

Well, that's a bit of the rub, isn't it? I think we definitely agree in spirit, but I'd caution too much with becoming obsessed with any one particular sin, because there are always others. At issue at the core is a lack of obedience (relationship) with God. If you change the heart, then other...

I watch and love Duck Dynasty. I don't use it/them to guide my religious life, but I recognize that the family is Christian and that they are, for once, showing a fairly decent view of life on TV. Regardless, I think the Phil fiasco is more of an issue with wording than it is with content. I...

I'll go ahead and share this much. While we do listen to each and every suggestion, and have even strongly considered this one even prior to this thread, this is not a direction that we wish to go in because there are already various communities that do this. If I had set out to start a...

We're working a response to this. In the meantime, please feel free to share anything else in regards to this topic. Thanks.

Yes, please send me a PM with the new username and I will change it for you.

I don't have access to IE11 at the moment, but we ran an upgrade so it might not hurt to try now.

Me being a slave of God - for which I am - does not mean that I assume the role of God in the enslavement of others. If we follow this sort of argumentation in some other areas - forgiveness, sanctification, etc - I think you can see it becomes an absurd one. I am washed clean because of Jesus...

Well, this is where I disagree a bit. One of my problems with the fundamentalist/anti-modernist interpretation is the insistence on Genesis being a 100% literal account. (Note, this is not name-calling, it's just an observation of where this argument resides in terms of camps.) I take issue...
