@Friends of Jesus Great passage there; we need to keep looking up and meanwhile continuing to make the Gospel known.

@Tommy Cool FYI...........thread I started; sorry the poll expired already.

@Taken Sola Scriptura really means the balance of what passages say and mean rather than projecting one's own thoughts onto Scripture and then vigorously promoting them.

@dhh712 Yes, it's nice what they've done, isn't it?
