A thought occurred, reading some of the previous replies. If God is almighty in power, is He able to take on flesh and walk the earth? Or is that a limit to His power? :contemplate:

Depends on the type of church, and the needs for the pastor's role. At my church, the senior pastor role is a full time job. Besides leading the Sunday service, there are other ministries the pastor has to lead during the week, visit shut ins and those who are in the hospital. As well, being...

For the study I'm in charge of, I just view my position to lead and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us. Not just through me, but also through those who attend. Its been a blessing, as I've learned many things myself during each study. I have put a big importance on us being taught by the Holy...

Thanks everyone for your recommendations. I'll pray about it, and see where God leads us for the study. I appreciate everyone's input, as it is helpful.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke all mention Jesus going into the wilderness, only John skips it. Like wise, John is the only gospel to mention Jesus' miracle of turning water into wine. You have to keep in mind, Jesus' ministry spanned around three years. So while reading the gospels, there is a lot of...

Hello. I've been leading a bible study for a small group of youth and young adults at my church. I took over a few months ago, and we've been going through the Gospel of John. We'll be finishing it this Friday, and I was wondering what some here would recommend to study next, either in the Old...

Did you watch @Episkopos video, @Wick Stick ?

I tend to stay away from liking heated replies between other members here, unless the reply has truth that makes me go to God and understand what has been shared. In Epi's reply (post #369), thoughts came to me about why we shouldn't have a judgemental attitude towards others, of different...

They posted the same thread in another Christian forum, and haven't replied back since, over there.

Sister, half my family background is muslim from my fathers side. At the age of 74, my father got baptized telling the world he follows Christ. But that wasn't the day he started following Christ, it was years before. You bring a background of life and wisdom, that only you can through our...

A prideful heart keeps the door closed to Christ, who stands there knocking?

Luke 9:23 "And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

Can we apply that to ourselves, who follow Christ?

John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease."

Great video Epi. I need to watch it again, as there were a few points you made that are worth discussing. You've pointed out many times about the price one needs to pay, in this video and various threads. Like buying the field with the treasure. "Stripped of self". It seems people fall flat...

On the topic of the higher walk, a thought came back to me from before. What is the natural realm of the flesh? This world, right? For a Born Again Believer, they have been given a spirit from above, the heavenly realm. So if we walk in our flesh, we are obviously walking in this world, and of...

The question was in regards to those who come into Epi's threads, and try to persuade others, that Epi's teachings are wrong. Especially when seeing people who "follow" Epi, get called out, for simply reacting to his posts. The reason I asked about how many witnesses it should take, to persuade...

If Epi is wrong, should we listen to two witnesses, or one?

Luke 18:27 "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Do you find the carnal gospel makes people only see things are "impossible with men", and become blind to the truth, that all things are"possible with God" in faith? So they have a hard time either going...

I like your explanation of using a magnet. I was thinking of my experience before, and likened it to grasping onto God's leg tightly, like a little child. But to let go is a full conscious decision or reasoning on our part. You can not easily enter out of it on a whim. I think it makes the...
