    What led to the downfall of major denominations?

    ...may I offer up the biggest reason for the downfall and wavering of most all churches is because of sin. From what I gleaned from Wycliffe regarding the 32nd Division of Psalms, there are four (4) different types of sin. We are all guilty and it would appear we just don't recognize our...

    Prayer

    So may I ask then, PreachTony, where does the sincere inspiration come from to pray for anyone or anything if we're not impressed by our Lord to begin with. Simple compassion on our part? Perhaps. Or is it that when we're praying for a loved one that's dying from some disease it's just not to...

    Prayer

    This post is not intended to be a statement nor to open the door for endless pages of argument. Rather, it's to seek your sincere input. We are told of being likened to a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. If it wasn't for the Grace and Love of our Lord we all...

    A Critique of Dr. Peter Enns’ Book The Bible Tells Me So

    I know, I know... I let my irritation with the site jade by post, please pardon me. But in a parody of the great hymn, some people I know... Their faith is built on nothing less than Answers in Genesis. Rob No Deacon..., your irritation is justified. I'm the that missed second...

    A Critique of Dr. Peter Enns’ Book The Bible Tells Me So

    Deacon..., with all do respect, if some find peace and comfort from Answers in Genesis, or any other publication for that matter why should it be considered humor and/or relegated to a humor file..., so saith me..., or you? I certainly wouldn't put any stock in this guys work but some do. In...

    "Let thy will be done!"

    J-W-Peace..., I heard from a pulpit once of this woman in her 60's that was reduced to the bed due to "Osteogenesis imperfecta", which is a disease that causes weak bones to break easily. As the story went, stuck to the ceiling above her bed were pictures of many individuals serving in the...

    "Let thy will be done!"

    Early in my Christian life (after realizing wave after wave of disappointments) I approached our Pastor asking how I could find God's Will for my life. His response was as follows..., "God's Will for you life is in the Bible..., read your Bible." That made about as much sense to me as...

    Look Unto Me...

    As his testimony goes..., Spurgeon was on a mission to attend each and every church in his city in order to find God. The snow was so bad one night that he was unable to make it to his intended location but was diverted down a small side street and ended up attending a Primitive Methodist...

    Look Unto Me...

    "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else." Isaiah 45:22 ...it's that easy. Everything else is man made.

    Beheading Videos

    ...I guess it..., "wasn't the latter". I'd fight to my last breath! Lay down and let them run over me? No way...

    And these young people will one day lead our nation?!?

    Salty..., I read an article once regarding this individual who wrote a thesis on the Civil War in an effort to earn his Doctorate Degree. As the interview continued for quite some time he was finally asked..., "For whom, in your opinion started the Civil War?" His response..., "Aah, gentlemen...

    And these young people will one day lead our nation?!?

    RD2, yes, it is sad. A few years ago our local TV Station ran a story where they asked several students attending UNC Wilmington what 33% of 100 was. None of them knew the right answer. I can certainly understand that as time passes we tend to ignore historical data from 150 to 200...

    Beheading Videos

    Am I reading some of these comments in that we (Christians) should not resist our radical Muslim enemy..., or have I scanned the comments too quickly and missed something?

    Beheading Videos

    I have no desire to watch any of those video's. Specifically, they are intended to instill fear. On the other hand..., a few professional sharp shoots could reverse that fear factor causing the cowards to flee back into their caves.

    Friendships

    What is your definition of a friend? Rolf, my definition in today's world is probably much like your definition. The point I am making is that we use the word "Friend" very loosely. Here a friend, there a friend, everywhere a friend, friend. Not so. ...a true friend would die for me...

    Is your church THIS yet?

    It's Show Time. My wife and I attended an open house at a church a few years ago and the first thing we noticed were speakers the size of Volkswagen's. We left.

    Friendships

    During my military days I became close with a guy and his wife. We kept in contact for many years after our discharges. He went on to retire from NYPD and "enlisted" in the Wiccan cult. He finally put a cussing on me about the Lord in that the Greeks had many gods so my one God was old...

    Friendships

    I am of the opinion that none of us have any "friends"..., by definition. Rather, we have a lot of acquaintances. We just enjoy being around some of our acquaintances more so than others. ...shouldn't a true friend be willing to die for you.

    As someone saved later in life...

    This is all quite foreign to me as I met my wife in high school. She then moved back to her home (up North) and we just kept it going. We're coming up on 50 years and while I've noticed a lot of attractive women along the way I've never met anyone that could take her place..., even if she can...

    Would your church permit a transgender to join?

    The church that my wife and I belong to is exactly that. A church. We attend and we're friendly with those in the congregation and we participate. We refuse however to delve much into our private lives..., either in church or in public..., even though there isn't much to tell or confess to...
