Enquirer, I have a Nintendo Wii. I play it like once a month, if that. Sometimes, if I get a new game, I'll play it everyday until I finish the game, then I go back to hardly playing it at all. I don't see it as a ministry tool, it's jusst a Nintendo. I definatly think that, like many things...

Even though Jesus was Jewish He wasn't limited to the idioms or traditions of the Jews. Remember the Isradlites rebelled against the ways of God many times, and in Jesus' day were wrong in a lot of things. Jesus said that there were twleve hours in a day, and remember, He's the one who...

Aspen, Great analogies. Can I use them?

Theophilus, Thanks for posting this. I checked out the link you posted, read a few articles. I'm still not sure what the site is about, some of the articles seemed vague. There were some statements that I didn't agree with, I think. Again some of the articles seemed unclear to me, I wasn't sure...

Had an awesome service today. My friend, a pastor of a Methodist fellowship help lead the time of praise. We had our annual thanksgiving fellowship meal, and there was a wonderful turnout.

Lord, please be with this brother and his wife. Lord suround them with your peace. Bring to their minds and hearts the intentions, passions, and hopes of their first love. Jesus please deliever them from the evil one. Father if there is anything in this dream You want this brother to glean for...

Wormwood, No worries, I din't feel like you were being contentious. I hope I am not coming across as if I am trying to establish the way I see things as "the way" things have to be seen. I think there are a lot of important issues, like salvation through Christ alone, where there is no room...

Hi Treskon, I was just wondering if you keep the 7th day Sabbath or when you say, "believers respect the sabbath in a spiritual way" do you mean we keep the sabbath any day, at least once a week? I have know many brothers and sisters who go to church on Sunday who say the sabbath rest was...

Hi Born_Again, I worked in grocery and retail for about 10 years; about 80% of the managers and assistant managers I worked under were homosexual, atheist, or served other gods. I was never pushy about my faith, the initial way they found out I was a Christian was when I filled out my...

Thanks for your thoughts, good things to consider. Iforrest, I think the church needs more people like you, men and women committed for the long haul, who will stay through thick and thin. Not that there aren't a lot of folks like this, but the moore the better. Enquirer, I have only...

I have thought about this before. I'm still not sure. If cloning is one or more human beings taking parts of another human being and attempting to make another human being out of those parts, other than the physical, sexual, and emotional connectons, how is that different from two people getting...

Wormwood, I didn't intend to give off the impression that they are not worthy of wrestling over. Along with the wrestling, we need to understand that we are not wrestling each other. Unfortunately, and I've been guilty of this, sometimes we are more concerned about being right, and getting...

Johnlove, Isn't it possible that God would use you or I to ask someone to share with others what God has done in their life? Or do you believe that God will only tell us individually what He want's us to do? It seems to me that a lot of Christians are only ok with following the leading of the...

Wormwood, I see what you are saying. I will try to rephrase my thought. Perhaps it is the fact that I have experienced animosity because I am not a trinitarian, as if I am not a "true" believer. Nowhere does scripture tell me that I have to believe in the personhood of the Holy Spirit to be...

I was raised in a congregation that had around 200 members .By the time I was 16 that congregation had split over 5 times. As I've grown up I have learned that there were things going on in that fellowship that are some of the most horendous things I've heard in my life. Yet I always felt lead...

For the last 3 years I have felt a growing burden to encourage other followers of Christ to be more vocal about their hope and faith in Christ; especially in the coporate worhip setting. In preparation for a sermon series on Genesis 1, I could not get past the fact that Scripture says, "God...

Webers_home Although I believe that the topic "Who is God?" is important to study; ultimately God is beyond human comprehension, and language, to fully describe. Not only do we have limitations on understanding what God reveals, due to sin, but we only have a certain number of words to describe...

Born_Again, I believe scripture does describe what happens in the period between death and Christ's 2nd coming. It describes it in a way that leads some to call it soul sleep; I don't like that term, I think it seperates me as a whole person. Even though people are both physical and spiritual...

Gratitude is vital to worship. Prayer and thanksgiving affect the peace we have within our hearts and mind. I wonder if there is a connection between gratitude and mental health?
