One of my problems with Dr. Brown's ministry is that those who follow it end up quoting him more than Scripture. Also, how do you know I don't have a sense of humor or believe in God's love and forgiveness? Christian freedom is not the freedom to sin. Scripture states that sin is bondage...

Because I wasn't in the Scriptures for myself.

Here is a link to this brief article called, "Three Free Sins" Here is it's conclusion. "So not only does the Christian get three free sins…Christians get unlimited free sins! (Free to us because they are all forgiven…but not free to God.) And I don’t know a better way to get people thinking...

The answer to racism is love. I used to be racist. I unthinkingly went along with the popular narrative that there are a bunch of racist white elites who want to keep African Americans down. But to be honest, some of the most generous and kindhearted people Ive known were not only white but...

I think a lot of us would change our attitude if we were aware that the world watches us. Nonbelievers ought to see something different about us! They are to know we are Christians by our love for one another! Love isn't always "nice" but it is patient and kind. Responding in love...

Hi! Nice to meet you, LIGMKJ! Welcome to the forums!

I don't think it can always be avoided. The difference is the motive. Rebuking is sometimes a Holy Spirit thing, and edifies the person, if listened to. Personal attacks don't edify. They are just meant to attack the other person for disagreeing. What may be helpful is if you describe where...

Also, I want to say that we have made idols out of "diversity and inclusion" and race to the point where people seriously need to calm down and patiently explain things when they come up. Don't get caught up in emotions with the person accusing you of being a racist. I want to go ahead and...

I have actually wondered about this. What if the other person is a wolf and the Holy Spirit actually compels you to rebuke the person? The guidelines of this forum don't allow for personal attacks. But in some cases, hopefully the staff can see when a divisive person is causing trouble. I...

You were on my mind today @Truman. I hope you are doing alright.

I watched the whole video. She does say devotionals do not replace God's Word but she does promote certain devotionals over others. I thought she would focus more on prioritizing God's Word. I suppose Ive read devotionals in the past and have rarely found them enriching. It's more like I read...

I will have to watch this tomorrow! I completely agree!!

Happy Thanksgiving, Marks!

We are going to eat at my Grandma's house. Im excited for it.

Good afternoon devin553344. Glad you had a good day with your family yesterday.

I appreciate this video. I like that you explained the history of how Collossians was written and the research you put into the early church at the time.

That Im no longer confused. Speaking of sin, God has given me victory over so much temptation. And I know it's possible to have a clear conscience with God and not sin constantly. When God brings a sin to my attention, I repent and try to stop it. Many times, I have failed. But I overcome...

Im sure people have all kinds of reasons and experiences with their tattoos. My opinion is unchanged though.

Okay but what does "resting in God's grace" actually mean? Does the Bible really command us to do this? And is obedience not the way to please him? I thought Scripture says to strive to enter that rest and that through disobedience the Israelites could not enter and neither can Christians? I...

I want to say from experience how confusing it was for me before I learned the biblical version of grace. One prominent reformed Pastor said "We only get better when we realize that if we never get any better, God still loves us." He explained that grace means our sin is no longer the...
