See, we say to go to church so that you can use the gifts given to you from the Holy Spirit to benefit the body of Christ. Go to church to fellowship with other believers and to grow, be challenged and be under good teaching. Go to church to be under the accountability of other believers (not...

Yep but these two are my top two. Having done marriage counseling - both pre and post - I've read a LOT of books on marriage!

Actually, I have known many people who have come to Christ because they first desired to come to church. Often it is because of a life circumstance that has caused them to seek the comfort of what they once knew, whether it is someone who recently lost a loved one or a young family who is...

Up to this point in your post, I think all of us will agree that what you wrote is truth. Obedience is absolutely a part of true saving faith and absolutely there is more to salvation than simply believing. However, where we disagree is that obedience is a condition of salvation but instead we...

Tim Keller's book is probably the best book out there on marriage but there is a new book (well, not new but new in the US) that will give it a run for its money - Married for God by Christopher Ash. EXCELLENT book. Here is Tim Challies' review on it...

I loved his character. What a sweet man - and I only can imagine he was like that in real life. :)

Just because someone took something and made it into something it's not doesn't mean the original was bad. It's like saying because Jehovah's Witnesses took the Bible and made it a cult makes the Bible bad. Just doesn't work that way.

We have had some outside preachers - often our own missionaries or sometimes we've had people in the pulpit who were in for a conference. We had James McDonald preach a few times because he and our now pastor emeritus are friends and we had our pastor's pastor preach as well. But we don't go...

At what point was the prodigal son no longer his father's son?

Why are you capitalizing "truth"? Is this a person that you speak of? This is as far as you needed to go but you didn't. So the Holy Spirit tries His very best and fails? If man has a part in salvation, it is his own work that saves him and there is NOTHING in Scripture that even remotely...

OK - "new spiritual truth" is a key term here. This is new. It is not Biblical. Scripture does not support the idea that we must work for our salvation. Salvation is of the Lord. I will stand before God and be able to say as Greg Gilbert said in his book What is the Gospel: “When we stand...

I would LOVE to see that updated in a more modern look to the package - something that is more likely for someone to open it than something from 60 years ago. ;) I wonder if that would be possible.

I just went into my Amazon digital account to look for the next book I'm going to read and see that I have 1544 books. :) I'd say I purchased less than a dozen of those. LOVE free books! OK - So I'm torn between An Unlikely Convert by Rosaria Butterfield or Running on Empty: The Gospel for...

But you have them just in case! LOL

Would a shepherd just let anyone in the sheepfold to shepherd his sheep or would he be careful and guard against danger?

I have finished my book that I was reading and now I'm wide open to find the next book and MAN, do I have a selection to choose from!! :)

He is speaking to what people have always spoke of. What do you suggest Jesus have used instead of sun rising? It was and still is the official term of the time that the earth turns to reveal the sun at any given point on earth.

I don't really understand your obsession with Way of the Master, Paul Washer and John MacArthur. Who cares if Paul Washer came to preach at my church? And why would staff quit?? Honestly, I'd rather have the missionary who is right now living in an area very hostile to the Gospel come teach...

Because it is a very good book and has been useful to millions of people in the past? You know - I even take advice from my heathen doctor sometimes when he is helping me deal with sometimes physical ailments due to stress but yeah - maybe I should see what Charles Stanley says instead.

I don't quite understand the point of this but it's clear the US Government also believes that the earth revolves around the sun but uses the term "sunrise" and "sunset" in it's official capacity: http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php...
