Hi, Ricky. Have you gotten saved yet? I've been praying for you. It was rather strange because as I was praying for you Sunday in church, another Ricky went up to receive salvation! Isn't that wonderful? I think it is so neat that you won't give up probing for those answers on whether or not...

Well, Lacey, what I picked up on first, is that you addressed each person that encouraged you. That means you took time to be thoughtful. And you did think about what each person said because you commented on specifics. That does show maturity. Also, the fact that you are taking time to study...

Thanks, BC, for your comments and really I appreciate everyone's input. I can see where each one is coming from. I think the thing that challenges me is that we say we have faith, but are we showing it if we feel we have to cover the cost of our ministry? Doesn't the Lord know what we need and...

That was pretty funny, Shan. Yes, it's one thing to desire healing for the other person's sake and quite another to desire it for your own popularity! Isn't it amazing how Jesus often asked others to leave the room or told the ones He healed not to tell anyone? I wonder why he differentiated...

Lacey, Would it be asking too much to tell your age? Also, you said you weren't one to really be into dating. How many other people have you ever dated? Do you have anyone to compare this relationship to? I would say that deep in your "gut" you probably have a feeling as to what the Lord is...

Out of all the testimonies I hear, that breaks my heart the most. Children who are abused mentally or physically really angers me. I have very frequent talks with the Lord about this. I can never understand, this side of Glory ,why this is allowed. I know the Lord doesn't cause this. I know it...

This has some beautiful phrases in it.It is so pure; so sincere. Is it a song or a poem? Be careful what you post. Make sure you copyright it, just to be safe, if it's a song. Most of the people on here are top-notch, but there are so many eyes that can read this site. You never know. I sure...

I'm curious to know what you all think about Christian musicians that sell tickets to see them perform/ minister. Back in the late 70's and early 80's, Keith Green (who I would say is one of my favorites as far as respecting someone as a writer/musician) tried to make Contemporary Christian...

It's funny that you bring this up. I'm curious. If you read all of Job 41, why would you want to be called Leviathan? It's an obvious parallel to evil. Yes, I do think it was a real creature the Lord was speaking to Job about. Some have called it a "sea dinosaur" and others have called it...

Of course, Tallman, you are visiting an age-old battle between the Protestant religions and the Non-denominational religions. I'm sure this is a weapon satan loves to use to get Christians side-tracked into war against each other instead of battling him. I have earnestly tried to see your point...

Hey there! If you like praise music by someone who has a heart of integrity, check out timsheppard.org and listen to some sound clips. He came to our church and it was such a worship experience. He certainly did much more than entertain. He even spoke to several people in the audience that the...

1. I love discussing the Bible; especially things deeper than the surface; always looking for new "jewels".2. I love to share the Lord through singing and writing songs, and giving testimony;being an encourager and listener.3. I love to read; particularly the Bible or anything that helps me grow...

I'm going to agree with Jag. I do think you should go through water baptism because that is how Jesus began his ministry and John baptized as a symbol of repentance. Today it is a symbol of the death of your old person (going down under the water), burial (being covered by water), and the...

I apologize, Crooner. I see now above your comment that it says Shan. Sorry. I've figured it out. A duh! moment! (LOL)

I don't follow, Crooner. To whom were you addressing your comment and what does it mean? Could you explain your opinion? Thanks.

That's what is wonderful about the family of God. We come from so many walks of life with so many perspectives; so many ways to explain things. Some ways touch some people. Other ways can be more clear to other people. I see what you mean, Pilgrim, about the "skill" thing. Another way to put it...

That was a very moving post, Job One. I could "hear" the hurt you've experienced in the tone of your words. It helps to know there are Christians all over the world that truly have walked in your shoes. We need to stand strong together. I loved your last line. You are so right. Wickedness never...

Well, I found the report to be encouraging. I know how much emphasis Jesus put on faith. He left His home town, refusing to work there due to unbelief (see Matthew 13:58). It's our human nature to be skeptical. Of course, these works have nothing to do with the preacher. He is merely the vessel...

Kimshi, I do know that sometimes when I am having trouble praying, it's because I have unconfessed sin. You may want to ask the Lord to search every "room" in your heart and convict you of anything done or said that has broken His heart. When He tells you what it is, then you can get it right...

Yes, good advice. I'm so glad you didn't give up Thunder1. Keep on encouraging the brethren. It will all come back to you. You're going to make it Claire. The enemy is already defeated. It says so at the end of THE BOOK!
