    Favorite Holiday Recipes

    Sorry, no recipes. My wife is the recipe pursuer in my home. She makes pumpkin pies, always my favorite, for me, But me, I only eat them and quite willingly. If they have whipping cream or vanilla ice cream on top I will still accept them and eat them as well. Thank God for pumpkin pie.

    God's Simple Blessings

    My best friend used to trim and cut trees for a living. He was always finding baby squirrels orphaned by his activities. but he knew a lady who took care of them. He would keep one and give the rest to her. He used to ride a bicycle around town in his spare time with a squirrel on a leash with a...

    His Name

    Lots of tracks, seemingly, various types or shadows of the one reality helping us understand if our hearts are open to hear His voice. an see His face. Jesus is the real truth, but there many types of him to be seen throughout the scriptures which can help us fill in all of the empty places and...

    His Name

    What I see apparently you do not. Who is it that God hates? Those who are unredeemable because of where they are and what they are willing or unwilling to do. As to inheriting from Adam, that was simply death. Adam and Eve were dead when they had children so all of their children were dead. Life...

    Historical lipstick memories: Ladies, do you wear your lipstick with confidence and satisfaction?

    Many things are done today more readily than they were some years ago. Should we follow the crowd? You say that lip coloring is hardly degradation of the human body, but did that conclusion come from God or from somewhere else? What is degrading according to God? In spite of what anyone may...

    Is your tattoo faith based?

    Such conversations about the Lord and all of the good things of God may be very good, but that does not mean we should all head for a tatoo parlor rather than seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. How many tatoos did Jesus manifest on his flesh? And yet... "... Never man...

    His Name

    Yes He even hated Esau, but who is Esau for us? Is he not the 'old man' within each of us?

    His Name

    It is essential that we follow Him wherever He leads us. He will show to each one that which He knows is necessary. Not every part of the Body has the same function. We should not presume to know the function of all the rest. We simply must fit properly in the body ourselves and be in submission...

    ACTS 2 PENTECOST ***

    Or perhaps the repetitiveness you call redundant is done on purpose to emphasize the meaning of key words and phrases and thus avoid easy mistranslation and misunderstanding of God's message to man. I have a book I bought several years ago, by Gail Riplinger, "The Language of the King James...

    Ears to Hear

    @Mayflower As you grow in God your [spiritual] eyesight and hearing should be improving. Consider these verses: "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the...

    Personal Revelation

    "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." Matt 5:6

    ACTS 2 PENTECOST ***

    Could it be this is where @bbyrd009 got the idea of 969 being involved? "And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died." Gen 5:27 The oldest man listed in the Bible came short of the one thousand years. But, none of those including Methuselah is seen at...

    ACTS 2 PENTECOST ***

    "These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord...

    Is your tattoo faith based?

    Of course a person's opposition to getting a tatoo may have nothing to do with his toughness or the lack thereof. Who is leading people to the tatoo parlor? Do we really believe that it is God?

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    No, no reason to argue, but people often do. I simply stand usually on the other side. That side is certainly also scriptural.

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    My question was not whether or not they are mentioned. Seemingly they are mentioned in scripture but so are many other things which are attributed to the nature of God. Why should anyone presume that the One God is a trinity instead of simply one God with many ways [certainly more than three] of...

    Proof of the Trinity. No takers?

    Why is this? Jesus in response to a question gave only two commandments as being the greatest and neither one of them mentions a need to understand that God has a triune nature: "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy...

    His Name

    I have no problem with them. Whoever Jehovah is, whoever the Lord or LORD is, is it not ultimately God who is our Savior? Is it not all in line with God's plan whether we understand every detail or not? People worry a lot about the difference between the Father and Son, but I do not. I simply...

    His Name

    I have no doubt that Balaam had some gift from God, but I guess like many today he failed to use what was God given for the purpose God intended. All of us can misuse what God has given us and some [prosperity preachers?] seem to prosper [at least in a material sense] and because people also...

    His Name

    No other man knew, why? Because more men were spiritually blind [unable to understand His name] and even those who could see were still not seeing clearly but as through a glass darkly. What does the scripture say? "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under...
