Any church member or professing Christian who habitually uses profanity needs to be corrected, in love of course, but sternly spoken to and educated as to the biblical standard expected. This is from http://www.christian...ical-assessment

A useful analogy is that of many shipwrecked people sinking in a sea of sin. Lifejackets are available for each and every one of them. If they all accept the need to put on a lifejacket now, they are closer to salvation, but not as yet eternally saved. The lifejackets will fit anyone who...

The evidence, or fruit, of the Spirit is produced when the flesh is rendered ineffective. If the gifts of the Spirit are misused, as the gift of tongues was in Corinth, prompting Paul to write a word of correction, (1 Cor.14), the flesh reigns over the Spirit, which leads to deception and error...

Does he back this with Scripture? 1Co 12:4-13 KJV (4) Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. (5) And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. (6) And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. (7) But the...

I look back to a ten year period between 1984 & 1994, when I fellowshipped at a 1000 strong Assemblies Of God church, with the wisdom of hindsight, remembering good friendships, but also remembering some rather unsound doctrines and practices. Much was made of speaking in tongues, and it was a...

If you want to know the meaning of life live a life of meaning...like Christ! In terms of natural history the meaning of life is naturally evident, as proof of what is possible.

Hi Jennifer, There are a lot of anti-Christian academics who write papers such as the one in your link and philosophise about supposed anomalies in an effort to undermine belief in the Bible as the Word of God.. A clue about the author's unsympathetic attitude in this case is the use of B.C.E...

That doesn't make sense!

Let's look at the immediate context of 1 Peter 4:6 1 Peter 4:3-6 (KJV) 3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 4 Wherein they think it...

How did you become a Christian, mjrhealth?

1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1Pe 3:19 By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when...

All things work together...hope you get a breakthrough soon.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it; 26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it...

True,we enter into Christ who is our Sabbath rest: Hebrews 4:9-10 9 There remains therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works, as God did from His. and also check this out. Romans 8:10-28 10 And if Christ be in you...

Contemplating the "great whore" as a metaphor to describe the apostate church we see behind the masquerade of her regal refinery. Some commentators associate the coloured vests of bishops and cardinals with this vision, not sparing the accessories of popes from inclusion. Harlots use trade...

If you are referring to the gnostic notions of Rudolph Steiner's anthroposophy I have to say beware...they are not compatible with biblical Christianity.

This is the very stuff of our faith...to believe God is working all things together for good to those who love Him. The test is whether we continue to love God in times of trouble. The immature Christian falters. Support is always available but not always sought or accepted. I would have said...

I posted this as a resource, but constructive comments are welcome.

Good post. Reminds me of a question to be pondered by all Christians: "Is this how Christ would behave?" 1Cor 6:15-20 (15) Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (16) What? know you...

A STUDY OF THE ORIGINS AND MEANING OF THE WORD CHURCH AS USED IN SCRIPTURE: The word “church,” which is derived from κυριακός, kuriakós, “of or belonging to the Lord,” represents in the English Versions of the Bible of the New Testament the Greek word ἐκκλησία, ekklēsı́a; Latin, ecclesia...
