    10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’

    It's from the Natty Review, but it's actually a pretty good article emphasizing a few of those points: http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/284093/gospel-according-ipeanutsi-lee-habeeb

    Wanting advice.

    I'm not going to say that contemplation alone - be it Christian or whatever - will fix your issues. Just please consider what I have to say. While I don't want to be the guy who says "You're MEDITATING!?"(there are some positive examples of meditating in certain aspects of the word) I would...

    How Is a Pastor's Salary Determined ?

    Look, it's gross generalization to go one way or the other. Simply put, everyone who wants to preach is not exactly qualified to do so. Additionally, going to seminary does not mean that every graduate is called by God. I've seen and heard excellent preachers talking about Jesus who have gone...

    How Is a Pastor's Salary Determined ?

    Well Prentis makes a good point here - community and communism are not one in the same. I'll refrain from going deeper so that this discussion won't get off-topic, but if someone would like to start a thread about that particular topic it'd be a good one I think. I just wanted to add that I am...

    How Is a Pastor's Salary Determined ?

    I don't particularly know of another way to interpret this passage: I Timothy 5:17-18 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain," and...

    RAPTURE QUESTION + answer

    That concludes the insults for today.

    Christ as the firstborn

    Look, this is getting ridiculous. Really this would be called Gnosticism because the idea is that Jesus is a representation of the way(IE: some form of hidden knowledge). It's more akin to something found in an obscure book in the Egyptian desert than in the Bible. Do you not know what...

    Are you using Firefox by chance? Or some other browser? Also, how are you posting the content? (IE: Typing it up in the editor here or posting after typing elsewhere?) There were some older bugs (that were fixed to my knowledge with the software) but it's unlikely to be a bug issue if only in...

    See everyone tries to point to that one tragic flaw, but I think the devil works most often by the death of a thousand cuts. It's so easy to get caught up in a little bit here and a little bit there before pretty soon we are so busy with life we leave no time for Jesus.

    MMMMM...The Thanksgiving Feast!

    The father-in-law makes deep friend turkey for Thanksgiving. Apparently I'm the next in line to learn now, and I'm kinda excited. There's nothing like turkey sandwiches for the the next week anyway, but fried turkey just has an amazing taste! Some friends of ours had us over the next night and...

    BUSH/BLAIR TO BE ARRESTED

    :rolleyes: Why does that response not surprise me one bit? You don't even know me. I think point illustrated.

    BUSH/BLAIR TO BE ARRESTED

    Perhaps they should spend as much time on working on the human trafficing problem in Malaysia as they do condemning everyone else? It's amazing what would happen in this world if people would focus on their own problems! Sorry, but the previous yawn is seconded.

    politically correct

    I'd probably side with the more conservative side of the equation for a couple reasons: 1) PC is as false as anything else of the world. Whether or not it gets said, it's still thought, felt, and believed. I think the hypocrisy of this has come out with the recent political events of the past...

    Happy Thanksgiving from CB!

    Psalm 100 Shout triumphantly to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Acknowledge that the LORD is God. He made us, and we are His— His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give...

    How Would Jesus Drive ?

    Everybody knows the Revelation references are to a white Shelby Mustang (duh horse!!!) that Jesus will drive down from heaven with a custom tag "SNOFGOD" (because John didn't know what a licenseplate was back in the day so he clearly said thigh...) I think Tom is theologically mistaken because...

    Was Paul stating a church doctrine when he said that he did not permit a woman to teach in the churc

    I say let Scripture interpret Scripture. First and probably foremost for me is that this passage is rarely ever examined in light of Mark 10:8. Mark 10:7-9 HCSB For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no...

    You have my prayers as well! Obviously you will have more important matters to attend to at the moment, but please update us when you are able.

    Evidence of Black Africans in the Bible

    Cleaned that mess up so this can stay on topic! (Told you I have short patience for that sort of thing!)
