By members of most denominations there have been horrible violent sins/crimes committed, not in the same quantity as the Baptists and Catholics, yet at the worst levels of iniquity. Dennis Rader, the BTK killer, a member of Christ Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas, an elected president of the...

__________________________ I was saved in '72, back when free love was the "liberating" start of the secular sexual revolution. Young men and women, at that time, got saved, and we met in houses. There was a large amount of discussion among the men, as well as the women. about finding someone...

From the Amplified Bible: Philemon 6, “I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective and powerful because of your accurate knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ.” God wants the communication of our faith to become effectual by our acknowledgement of every good thing...

From Mother Teresa's acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize comes this portion of it: "But I am grateful and I am very happy to receive it in the name of the hungry, of the naked, of the homeless, of the crippled, of the blind, of the leprous, of all those people who feel unwanted, unloved...

Romans 15:4, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." All that’s been written in the Scriptures concerning God’s hand upon the saints, all those things are recorded for us so we would...

On the mark, hope is indeed a calling!

Great post. Hebrews quotes leap off the page.

Absolutely!

The promise of the life to come always affects the life that now is. Titus 2:11-13, “ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking...

No wonder she wrestled with her conscience, it was seared and defiled by her support of godless belief systems. To her, there can be any kind of god in the minds of her friends, patients and strangers. She refused to persuade otherwise for there was no presentation of the truth. Was she...

____________________ It was meant to ask if you are seeking my agreeable opinion in all that you write, but if I don't have a comment, I don't reply. No need to take offense at that.

Your last remark sounds like you are seeking something from me. Is this a common thing with your posts?

__________________________ Wow, it should be called the book of reason. Lots of good verses in there. I think his miserable comforters were not entirely wrong in some of the things they learned which came out of their own personal walks. It's just that they were greatly off the mark when...

______________ I'm headed for Job. Thanks amadeus, a great set of passages.

Here’s another post regarding the principle of “faith toward God”. It is my attempt at providing a reasonable response to today’s prevailing faith teachers. Some of us were led to believe that reason is an enemy of faith, and at times, it is, when it is faulty. At the same time, we are...

Edifying post. Thank you. I desire greatly to put off the old man even while I am surrounded by this world's ways and temptations. Is it easy? Not for me. It truly is a labor of love for the things of good. Knowing that our outward man perishes, while the inward man is renewed day by day...

Good to be reminded, Walter, that we too are capable of edifying and consoling others in the things of God. Helping to establish a fellowship might mean that Timotheus spoke to them doctrinal truths that were seasonal and stabilizing. The afflictions that were causing them to worry should not...

I have chosen in the evenings to listen to a couple Catholic priests on youtube, and I admit, there is a message there that is often very sound. One priest spoke on "spiritual warfare" and provided a list of seven things to keep in mind during times of testing It was filled with right and...

I saw the movie "The Letter" and walked out completely encased in her bewilderment. Why, Lord? I asked myself. Did not her faith have works, whatever quantity she might have had, for we have all been given a measure of faith, haven't we? This is a very important topic and worthy of...

_______________ Wow, my Dad died five or six years ago at age 76 from lung cancer (smoker, welder). He too gave his life to the Lord prior to passing away -- something like a week prior, led by a neighborhood friend of his. I never got to know the fellow. He was maybe 20 years older than me...
