Don't get me started. Putting the homosexuals in with all the heterosexual men will be like putting a heterosexual man in an open barracks full of women. A bunch of dimwits and it's all for the liberal vote.

However, I seems like having something every night of the week is a good way to drive parents of young children crazy and make them resent the church. Families need SOME nights at home to just relax and not have something to run off to. Of course. That would be rather insane to expect...

clark092504, do we come across with determination? With expression? With fire in our souls warning the lost of their everlasting torment? ...no. At best, most of us provide a little wishy-washy sermonette regarding their need and extend an invitation to visit our church next Sunday...

If one were to compare today's believers with those who walked with Jesus back then, we all would be considered a sorry lot. Compared to the Prophets of old who spoke the very words of God by inspiration and witnessed their determination and zeal for the spoken Word of God, consider their...

It is increasingly important that we keep our minds refreshed with the Word of God, not just the Revelation, but the entire Bible. Off topic a bit but if you just consider the Bible, the entire book is a "revelation". The Lord's revelations to us, regarding among other things, how we are to...

Well, if 40 + people are in attendance I can see the upset on the part of the neighbors..., Hey, if they need a bigger space then go rent a building.

The title of the article says it all. The question is, is a Bible Study in a private home considered the establishment of a "religious" organization? I don't hardly think so but we are dealing with the land of fruits and nuts. City demands Christians get permit for Bible study Already fined...

The reason being given is the leadership doesn't want.... It would appear to me there is no leadership in this church. I can understand the need for parents to control their children while in church but compared to those who probably snore while asleep, which would be the bigger distraction?

A familiar passage we all have read is Ephesians 4: 11 & 12 11. "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;" 12. "For the perfecting (equipping) of the saints (you and me), for the work of the ministry, for the edifying (building up)...

blackbird, speaking of Germany..., that must have been extremely frightening times for those people back then. Under the direction of a madman is sheer terror.

Well, the Freewill Baptist churches, as a whole, believe you can be saved, and then, turn your back on the Lord, and walk back out into the world and be lost again. There is a sect of United Baptists that also hold to this doctrine. Thye say you make "shipwreck of your faith", or something...

I'm with you "righteousdude2" Living with being saved today and the fear of being lost tomorrow, then having to wait until Sunday morning to make it all "official" again..., has got to be a drag and a terrible burden to face every day. Hey, being a Christian should not be a burden.

There is nothing wrong with a "formal prayer" in a formal setting. I've listened to preachers advocate that believers don't spend enough time in their prayer closets; that we need to pray daily, and constantly, never ceasing, lifting all things to our Heavenly Father. I happen to agree..., but...

You can post your PM to me right here on the forum.

freeatlast, I wasn't going to respond to this but changed my mind. Yes, for sure, respect is swiftly disappearing from our landscape. We are all guilty of attitude on occasion. Me included. You to. Recently, reference was made to me being equal to a bank robber as I found myself being...

annsni, debt is not always our fault.

Pastor_Bob, excellent example. However, this woman was unable to do for herself. That's the other part of my question. ...the Lord helps only those who cannot help themselves? Clearly this woman could not provide for herself but of course, after receiving a blessing and instructions...

Perhaps all of us have heard the line..., "The Lord helps those who help themselves" Do you agree with this? Are there any references in scripture to support the above? Or, would it be reasonable to conclude the Lord helps only those who cannot help themselves? The reason I ask is, we...

By "book" do you mean Book of the Bible or a book written by man to provided insights and encouragements?

JesusFan, yes, many "ism's" to consider. I'm just to the point that when confusion leads to burden..., I'm outta there. I understand my Lord want me to trust in him 100%, 24 - 7, in all matters. Burdening myself down with nonsense takes away from my trust in Him. Reminds me of the story...
