    Removed!

    May His blessings rest upon you brother. Its nice to see you back. Thanks for taking the time to post the scriptural support. My bible study program crashed again and I find the on-line bible sites a bit tedious to use. I agree with your comments and interpretation and also believe that the...

    Something praise worthy: A church that doesn't bend to trends

    I want to praise the Lord for my most recent experiences with a growing congregation. For the last 2 weeks I've attended a worship service at the only church that I was ever a member of (by my own choice). I'd stopped fellowshipping with that congregation over 10 years ago (for reasons not worth...

    While Paul spoke of "natural" Israel being grafted back in, I don't recall anything specifically warning the church that it would be cut or broken off with the possible exception of the "dead church" or apostate church. Most New Testament biblical warnings come to us as individuals or as...

    Would you trust a CIA operative as President of the United States?

    This morning, while driving to work, I heard an announcement on a news radio channel that a man named Evan McMullin stepped down from his position in the republican party in order to run for President as an independent. He apparently has some support that might've gone to Donald Trump and his...

    World Vision Chief Aid Director tunneling funds to terrorism

    Would you like to know where your money was going for the last few years, world vision supporters? Take a look at the link or search related stories, but I heard about this one on radio news yesterday and see almost no on-line stories about it...

    Israel: Newly Found Second Century Scroll Claims Jesus was an Alcoholic

    Misinformation, often the work of politicians and security agencies, is manipulation of the public. In Nazi Germany, humor was used to dehumanize the Jewish population in the eyes of the general public and make it easier for the Nazis to gather them, murder them, and dispose of their remains...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Its unlikely that we'll ever have any solid understanding of what the Apostle was referring to unless some additional source material is found from the first century that gives us insight into the more cryptic statements made by the Apostles. They were inclined to "talk around" certain people...

    In Reference To CyBs Statement of Faith - Christian Forum

    Typically, if you enter an online "community forum," especially for the purposes of discussing your beliefs, its a good idea to know where you stand with regard to the beliefs of those who host the forum. As far as I can see, this particular forum has always been held as a ministry by the...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    Well, you may be right, but I was pretty sure that Ronald Reagan was the anti-Christ back during his administration (of course, this was also before I received Christ by faith): He professed Christ, but never even attempted (to my knowledge) to give any explanation to the church for divorcing...

    Who Is "the Restrainer" In 2 Thess. 2:6-7

    There's a hoard of people named Joshua or Jesus roaming about the face of the earth, which is a name I'd think twice about giving to a child, but I known born again believers with that honorable name. Do you think that you could be a little more vague in your posts? There isn't enough confusion...

    If machine guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have machine guns

    God gives one individual, a pacifist and a liberal thinker, the faith to believe Him and confess Christ as His Lord and Savior. God gives one individual, an aggressive fighter and defender of his community, the faith to believe Him and confess Christ as His Lord and Savior. The two may have...

    A Born-Again Donald Trump? Believe It, Evangelical Leader Says

    Some of them are, but the word of God tells us that the hearts of kings are in His hands, so ultimately God's will is going to be expressed for good or for evil in the next presidency regardless of who is elected. The thing that concerns me with regard to the "leaders of the Evangelical...

    Atheist friends mock me about Noah and the Ark

    So they found a large buried structure, roughly the same dimensions as that given in scripture for the ark, complete with large leveling stones (which would have been hung from the corners of the floating box and lowered to some depth to help keep the thing from tipping over) at the base of Mt...

    "Expelled", an example of dishonesty among creationists

    Neither Kevin Miller or Ben Stein are known as creationists (they wrote and produced the film) so you've pretty much mischaracterized "Expelled" from the start.

    A Born-Again Donald Trump? Believe It, Evangelical Leader Says

    I voted for and supported George W and remain convinced that his given testimony was sincere, but he still lead the U.S. into a decade of warfare under the misguided notion that what the Middle east needs more than anything else is democracy funded by runaway profiteering. I don't know which of...

    Looking for some Good Sermons

    I was quite fond of the teaching of the late James Montgomery Boice who was a one time pastor of the 10th Presbyterian church of Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Boice was not only a doctrinally sound preacher and a fine scholar, but actually a well trained thinker as well (I've listened to more than a few...

    Israel: Newly Found Second Century Scroll Claims Jesus was an Alcoholic

    If such a scroll was found, it would only tend to confirm what the gospels say in regard to the character attacks made against Jesus by Jewish rulers that were His contemporaries, and in so doing strengthen the arguments for the truth of scripture. I'm inclined to believe that this falls outside...

    If machine guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have machine guns

    I don't know about disarming everyone, but if what some media outlets have said is actually true, a ban on purchasing fire arms on people that fall into a terrorist watch list would ban most evangelicals from purchasing a gun (this is based upon the premise that the report that the government...

    Muhammad Ali

    I was never really a boxing fan, but I loved watching Muhammad Ali move in the ring, the man had style and power and wasn't afraid of public opinion or government pressure. He also knew how to entertain people and draw public interest. His banter and histrionics with Howard Cosell always gave me...

    Dear Church, Here’s Why People Are REALLY Leaving You

    I would say that I know, but for objectivities sake I'll say that I think that people are leaving the church because of false doctrine being taught in pulpits by shepherds that don't care for the sheep. They preach popular feel good doctrines with no personal accountability, and all to fill the...
