What about mainstream musicians who are Christians. Like say Larry Norman in the 70s or Keith Green. Can musicians be Christians and put out songs on the radio for everyone to hear. Can they have a concert where Christians can go like in the secular world. I remember as a Christian in my 20's...

I think this is the idea of feelings being made into the spiritual. Both have a intangible aspect and can be confused I think. I think the spiritual can be destinguished as in the 'fruits of the spirit'. Or the fruits of the flesh. I think the fruits of the spirit can be decerned. One thing I...

Don't forget Dylan when he went electric and his folk followers said he was selling out to rock and roll. Before that he was a folk singer and like Peter, Paul and Mary of the time they were representing the people. I agree and I think that was the original meaning of singing up front of an...

I can relate and its good news that you are overcoming sin and being transformed. I think we are continually becoming more Christlike. The more we are willing to hand over and trust God the more we change and overcome sin. The more we see Gods wisdom and how He knows how best to help us to make...

I think Christs temptation in the wilderness is a great spiritual lesson. For one Christ goes without eating for 40 days. That would make anyone weak and barely surviving. That takes spirit to be able to not only physically survive. But to be strong in the midst of temptations when your so weak...

Using the government as the means for helping the poor actually puts a price of helping the poor and needy. Because there is only so much money to go around. There are also roads, infrastructure, and even debt to pay down. I think western nations have helped people more than any nation. The...

For me a Christian is like a journey towards Christ. Paul says it is no longer I that lives but Christ that lives in me. But I reckon he also struggled and was continually ridding himself of himself. He speaks about the weak flesh aqnd living in the spirit. When Christ enters your heart its...

I don't think Paul was misrepresenting or lying. He declared I am telling the truth of the message directly from Christ. He witnessed Christ Himself. He was executed for standing on that truth.

When you see misrepresentations and lies in the first few minutes thats enough for me. Never trust a liar.

As we know Christs era was just beginning at that time Thessalonians being close to Christs death and resurrection would be very much aware and spectulate about His return more than anyone. I think the present and the immediate future always seems to be more important. Paul and I think the...

Wow, I have only listened to a few minutes and I can't listen anymore. He really does have a weird view on zionism. I guess there are a lot of strange ideas about zionism. Any ism is really an ideological view of the world. I think his arguement sounds similar to the Palestinian and Isreal...

Thankyou for this lesson. It is good to have Gods Kingdom clarified from an earthly one. I agree with all that is said. It seems pretty straight forward that Gods kingdom is not of this world and is within. I remember this teaching when first saved in the 80's. I think it has been known before...

The New Testament also says that Christians should help the poor, widows and orphans. This is a basic value of Christianity. But the world has their own idea of this. The early Christians were rebuked for not helping the Christian widows and orphans that were among them. Its already happening...

Reminds me of tracking through mountainous rain forests at night with a torch with hazards all around at your feet. Or in a cave deep underground where all you see is a spot light wherever you look. Switch it off and its pitch black. It virtually becomes your only means of knowing the way.

Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest".

A great poem. I see a bit of Cohen and Dylans style of writing with flowing verses telling a story. I like the idea of a highway. It conjures up a journey. It would make a good song I reckon.

As far as secular politics I think the answers are in the declarations and constitutions and rights western nations were built on. Which was based on Christian values. It seems we are forgetting them and allowing alien ideas to erode western Christian culture. But I think its too late. The...

It seems that the Byzantine west is where Christianity was born and established and the Persian east ended up with most of the heretical ideas and beliefs. From memory I think Nestorians followers were exiled to the east. The term "Nestorians" refers to followers of the Antiochene school of...

I watched a doco on Keith Green recently. I was into his music when first saved in the 80s. Along with Larry Norman and Phil Keaggy and amy Grant. I did not realise that he was a child star so to speak. Was very musical at a young age with obvious talent. Could have went into secular music and...

Actually I have a church that is assoiated with feeding the homeless I attend. Admittedly not as much as I would like as I am disabled. But I love the fellowship. I also volunteer for the local homeless hub once a week who also feed and support the homeless and other people in need. This is how...
