I'm trying to understand where you guys are coming from, but I don't see Christianity at all in the same light as the Muslim world. It has remained in the forefront because Christ cannot and will not be ignored or brought down. Of His kindgom there shall be no end...( Isaiah 9:7). So, it matters...

For a Christian nation, we sure have strayed far away. But I do understand your point, Lunar. And as far as the first 5 commandments, I wasn't really talking about extreme religious groups like Muslim, Atheists, or Buddhists. I was thinking of the average Joe or Jane in mainstream America. It's...

Thanks, Radd. Just got back from a powerful service tonight. When God shows up you can't help but feel blessed! I got to pray over one of my daughters and my niece. Our youth pastor led the worship. That's what I like about my church. It's alive and we love Jesus. He shows up every time I go...

The only reason that would happen is because the very name of JESUS carries so much power and conviction. Every beautiful name of God-Elohim, Adonai, Jehovah Jireh, Yaweh, all pack a "punch", but the Father gave Jesus the name above ALL names, and it is the dividing sword. It cuts to the right...

Radd, I was really directing the pastor thing to marksman. But, that's okay. I'm glad the pastor of the church you're going to is well thought of by you. So many today lack integrity and are in glass houses-like it or not. We really are too because we never know who watches, reads, or listens...

I think it all boils down to whether you love Jesus or not. Those who do aren't offended by the 10 commandments. They point out that we have sin in our lives. They remind us of God's standards. Jesus said He came to fulfill them. He said the greatest 2 were to love God with everything you have...

Good morning. You know, Radd, as I was reading through your post, it took me back to some similar experiences I had at a church. I always felt comdemned. I came to realize that there are places people meet but you just have to wonder if God even shows up! Now, I'm not saying that everyone at the...

I hope this helps. This is an intense topic with varying depth levels.It is a matter of one's heart condition. One of my favorite verses is John 14:23,24 which says, "Jesus answered and said to him (Judas Iscariot),'If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We...

I really like your post, Donnie. I agree with you 100%. No one knows. If Jesus Himself doesn't even know, why should we pretend to know! Of course, I know people are speaking in more general terms than the specific day and hour. But scripture says only God, the Father, knows the exact time. I...

Hmmm...sooo many things are going on in my mind about all of this. Yes, Radd, some churches are boring to be in, I agree, but let me submit to you something to think on. This has helped me as we have had to sing in some of these little country churches that you wanted to check some of the...

I received this e-mail and thought it was very interesting. I wanted to share it with everyone. I hope it will help all to see that the God and Christ of the Bible is true, real, timeless, yet in control of time and all things. It's amazing that He would love us! NASA AND THE BIBLE...

Remember too, Mikey, that they aren't rejecting you when you talk about Jesus. His name is all-powerful and cannot be ignored. It cuts to the heart and will offend. It disturbs the works of darkness and probably many of the people you come in contact with are living in the dark instead of the...

Yes, I do agree to avoid meds if at all possible. As a matter of fact, it's very difficult to get off of anti-depressants once you start taking them. It has been quite a battle for me. I began taking them innocently in my early 20's strictly for the headaches, but that was due to my poor...

Yes, we can take anything good that God made and make it perverted. We can even "worship" the Bible, but never read it. It can sit on our coffee table, collecting dust, and remain unopened. What good does that do? These symbols without a life changed mean nothing. But... these symbols with a...

Hey, Mikey. I have a lot of experience in this field, only because of trial and error. I am a migraine sufferer. I have had these for about 20 years now. Of course, the "quick fix" for my doctors was to try meds to cure me. They began with many prevention meds-beta blockers,etc. Then I moved to...

I think any poem that is thought-provoking could be considered "good"; that is if it gets you to focus on Christ. I guess I'm coming from a place this morning in which I needed encouragement, so I was reminding myself that even though there's a storm brewing on the horizon, I know the Master who...

That seems to come from a place of no hope. It is sad and depressing. This world can be like that sometimes. But... we do have a hope in the midst of this craziness! He visited our circus tent! He provided a way out. We don't have to live like the other crazy people do. We can live "above in the...

Ever dealt with family members who won't grow up and accept responsibility for their actions, but they don't see how they hurt everyone else around them? Well, please pray for my mom and a bad situation she's been in with her health. I have tried to intervene in the most Godly way possible, but...

Another thing about someone being friends with someone who is mean-spirited is, I think they have a hidden agenda. I think they have a motive of wanting to be liked or feel popular. Or, maybe they think that person can do something for them that they can't do on their own. The thing about Christ...

How is your sister, Rem? I was thinking about her and getting ready to pray for her, but I wanted you to know that I was doing that, so that you would know someone still cared and was concerned. Keep me posted.
