“First Corinthians 2:14-16 says that ‘the person without the Spirit [an unbeliever] does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. … But we [believers] have the mind of...

“Be a purveyor of hope to men and women who need the power of the gospel in their lives.” (Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room, p. 139) Muslims need the power of the gospel in their lives @Wrangler. Do you deny that? The crusaders were “armed, ready to kill.” And they did kill. Men...

“Christ - the ultimate evangelist … Live like you believe that his message really can save lives.” (Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room, p. 138) I live like I believe that his message really can save lives @Wrangler. His message to his followers is love your enemies, not kill your enemies...

I’ve taken the liberty of bolding the word “Christian” in your comment. C.H. Spurgeon was a well-known pacifist. I‘m certain you remember what you’ve said about pacifists. I want our readers to remember what you you’ve said about pacifists: “Man in form but not substance.” ”Cowardly.” They...

@Wrangler how many Christians participating in this thread have told us that they aren’t “armed, ready to kill”? To single out only one, the member who started this thread. By your extremist standard of measure, the author of the OP - a moderator and registered “Christian” member of...

It was 1990. Or maybe ‘91. It could even have been ‘92, but no later than ‘93. It was a hot Spring day. It’s always hot in the Spring in Atlanta. I was sitting in my car, parked under a tree - the sparse shade helped, but not very much - waiting for my wife to finish her shopping. She said it...

From my X / Twitter “Following” feed this morning - “Have you ever shared the Gospel with a complete stranger? What happened?” (Frank Turek) https://x.com/drfrankturek/status/2066853304454217749?s=61 The average Christian probably shares the Gospel with people they already know. A co-worker...

“You can’t kill an ideology with a gun.” - Benjamin Ferencz

“Nothing makes God so angry as an injury done to his children.” - C.H. Spurgeon

I saw the pictures and said nothing. I didn’t even react. What I wouldn’t give for another chance.

Hard times come into all of our lives. We have to persevere and get through them. Difficult enough to do with Jesus; without him, harder still. Maranatha

If you aren’t one of the sons, don’t become one.

I was thinking about @2bme this evening and the “Fighting Joe coming down Missionary Ridge” scene from the movie Monte Walsh flashed across my mind. ”He’ll never make it.” ”He don’t want to.” I still wonder from time to time if there was something else that I could have said to him that...
