We are not told specifically that Balaam started a speaking ministry to warn others by "taking them for a ride." This has not stopped many other "donkeys" from starting their own ministries after they perceived that God also used them once.

The devil is in every system of men...democracy included. Capitalism is a man-made system that is every bit as evil as communism. It is the playground of the flesh. One must remember that God doesn't think as we do. What is highly esteemed by men is abomination with God.

In our time, I fear that this kind of statement by Paul... Phil. 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; ...has become "that I may know the bible (about Him) and the message of His resurrection, the...

These days...every generation is a war generation. Besides the fact that there is a constant spiritual war going on. In that way we have spiritual warfare from generation to generation.

So then in your scheme it was God that caused the person to have the cares of the world choke out the word?

How can you draw back from something you never had? Can you say that the ground that received seed but bore no fruit never really received seed?

And yet somehow John manages to say this... John 1:29The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Did he say the sin of Israel...or the world? John the apostle confirms this when he says that Jesus died for the sins of...

People usually jump to the wrong conclusions when they read about salvation in the bible. If we call on the Lord He will save us....in our present situation. We can undergo many salvations on a daily or weekly basis. It is only the indoctrinated religious mind that sees a one time event...

People respect science...even though so often the theories are absurd. What about the science of God. Where V=FP or....Visitation (from God) = Faith x Prayer. :)

It does kind of sound like that... maybe that's what I was daydreaming about???

We have been having this mysterious looking white fluffy material on the ground the last while. Kinda looks like icing sugar....but a lot colder. Hmm :(

Remember when it says that two are sleeping in the same bed...but only one is taken? This surely points to an unequally yoked marriage where one is faithful to Christ and the other not.

All Jews were wrapped in a cloth like that...a linen shroud that wrapped the body...as well as cloth that covered the head which is called a suderium. The carbon dating was done on a part of the shroud that had been repaired so the dating is off. The matching suderium was brought back from...

You are giving Jesus all the credit for your inability to stop sinning? Wouldn't it be wiser to go before God giving Jesus credit for the grace to walk as He walked? You are speaking from the flesh about what the flesh can do. You shouldn't mix that up with what grace through faith can do...

The advantage of being on the cross within ourselves with Christ enthroned in us...is that we are present in heaven. Just as Christ lives through us...so we can live through Him...and be where He is. That is how we abide in each other. We sit together in heavenly places (Eph. 2:6) when Christ...

But the greatest love is that we lay down our lives for Christ. No man has greater love than that. A Christian saint is one that is on the cross inwardly so that the life of Jesus is made manifest in his body. We are to always be carrying the death of Christ...as a living sacrifice...so that...

Are you asking me? This state is not ideal...but normative for the one who is fully surrendered to God. It's like when Moses was confronted by a dead end...the Red Sea. People will do everything to avoid such a dead end. But to the saint a dead end is a new possibility for God to take us...

What Paul is describing in Gal.2:20 costs us everything to have. Paul counted all things as loss that he might win Christ. To Paul the world was crucified to him. I don't think that many can comprehend the depth of what he is saying. We are not getting the sense of scale here.

Paul is speaking of a profound surrender of himself to God...a surrender that was answered by God in the form that he describes. It is a huge mistake to think that everything Paul was and has is ours automatically by being a Christian. We write off his words and testimony by thinking it is all...

There are extremes of course...the legalist...but also the lawless. The first places the performance on us alone. The latter denies all responsibility for one's actions. But the truth is that the Holy Spirit makes us very responsible for every thought and deed. Does Jesus keep the law FOR us...
