Absolutely correct. We do not earn righteousness being made a part of our abilities. We do what we know to do... out of love for God... and He does all the "righteousness" stuff, not us.

I was a bit wild in my younger days, and found my movement somewhat restricted for awhile by law enforcement. During that time of incarceration, the administration daily broadcast a short, encouraging, moral lesson from a series by Earl Nightingale, entitled "Be Still and Know." It had a lot...

I asked the original question, so it seems only fitting that I should also try to give an answer. What is the essence of Protestantism? What gives it its inner identity? This is the reply of one man I have been studying... On a critical historical reading of the development of Protestantism...

Forgotten who? Was there something you wanted us to remember?

I wondered how long it would take you to throw out the standard byword, "watch", as though you had an idea of what that meant. LOL.

Now you are making this belief an issue of Salvation? This is probably one of the reasons Jesus told us not to get all hooked-up on all the "Last Days" Hoopla.

So? Those kinds of things have been happening since the world began... year, after year, after year. But, when the times of tribulation Jesus warned of hit Jerusalem and the rest of Israel, mulitudes were killed as their entire world was turned upside down. Almost every single leader of their...

I can be sympathetic to a lot of excuses, but the LAST one is that phony plea of, "I was born this way."

People are not "gay." They, rather, choose to be homosexual.

You're usually a little too negative for me. But, I think you have a serious point here. So why is this so important? These observations need to be set against one of the most dramatic developments to take place globally in the aftermath of the Second World War — the spread of Marxism...

Anyone here ever read "Beautiful Outlaw" by John Eldridge? Excellent. (Here is a 'teaser' on the book.)

I'm starting to reread it to determine that more clearly. I just know that I seemed to get nothing out of it the first time I read it, and have not wanted to even bother with it till just now. (It is rare that I close a book thinking, "What a waste of time.")

Yes, I have. I think it is still on my shelves somewhere. Another of his books that I found kind of difficult to follow is "The Pilgrim's Regress."

This will at least get people to the site: Bible Students - The Lord's Day in the Covenant of Grace I think they can find their target from there. (It should be in the upper left corner of the page.)
