Ministry!....such a ubiquitous word. It's like a blanket that can cover all manner of things/ topics/ engagements/ greed etc

The default is the big ME. Self glorification takes many forms and the most insidious is when it has the appearance of piety. As an example just look at the clothing get up of the Priests in the Roman Church to mention one....or the other extreme, the Mennonite/ amish get up.....all under the...

Testimony!....hmmmm. To what do we testify? To ourselves or something else? Yes, we love to talk about ourselves; that is no surprise. The universe revolves around me me me. Is this what we testify to? Is this our witness? If I was in a court as a witness and all I did was talk about myself...

Hello livefree75, You might like to visit the link below, ie ReDiscovering God. It deals with the valid questions your Son is asking....his questions are the outcome of an honest enquiry to what has been generally taught in many Christian circles. The latter episodes particularly address these...

No doubt he aint the first one. Nebuchadnezzar come to mind.....and Idi Armin. There will be more.

Jesus is searching for you. He desires your company and wants you to know it. I pray it is fertile soil on which the seed has fallen.

Do you believe that God deliberately encircles people in disobedience? Selfishness, self absorption and covetousness have been handed down to mankind genetically since Adam's fall. These miserable qualities were not in Adam when he came from the hands of his Creator because we are told he was...

Selfishness is the cause of our sin.....and the judgement of others is one of its fruits.

Of a certainty, deception will include that which is outside the awareness of many......even that of popular theological opinions.....or could it be particularly that of popular theological opinions? My guess is a narrow gate and a rocky lonely trail will not qualify as popular......even with...

My heart goes out to Kayla in her struggles. If my heart goes out, does not God's heart go out also.....or is my compassion greater than his? Pray continually we are encouraged to do, for ourselves, for each other and for our enemies. Does that mean we tell God what he should be doing?

Yes I said the above Jack, but what you are hearing is that I am denying the LITERAL flood. Check your own statement in post #139

What do I believe? 'Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of...

No doubt they can't and don't soberxp but faith is an amazing 'tool'. It gives us access to God's way of seeing. It accesses his promises with surety, ie without doubt..... irrespective of the volume of our understanding. It allows the 'babe' the same confidence as the 'mature'. As we hear and...

Thank you for your story Nakul. A perspective is always helpful, it gives me a flesh and blood face I can relate to. I have found encouragement and growth in several places over the years the latest of which is a podcast in dialog form which I access on you tube. If you are interested here is...

Daniel? The Apostles? Those named in Hebrews 11? Is it thought they will be surprised, ie do not know?.....and all those whose trust has been in their Saviour.....instead of their theologies?
