Jkdbuck76, most people don't consider this but Tithing is a form of worship. While there is probably a much more eloquent definition of worship than what I can provide, to me, worship is doing for the Lord that, which makes Him pleased with us. Just as little children often make an...

You're probably right. :thumbs: On the personal side, I have a lot of admiration for Patton and his accomplishments. Had I been in WW II, serving under him would have been an honor..., but that's just me. I talked once with an elderly man who did in fact serve under Patton and he took...

In Mark, Chapter 2, three specific questions are asked of Jesus. V:16 - "How is it that he eats and drinks with publicans and sinners?" V:18 - "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?" V:24 - "Behold, why do they on the sabbath day (do) that...

What, pray tell, is a General Patton answer?

Our Pastor spoke on the legalism as referenced in Mark 2 this morning. Jesus is all about freedom..., not burden. Jesus convicts..., men and their religion will even go to the extreme of embarrassing in an attempt to force compliance to their opinions of what God says. I'd rather be free.

As for a "Soul Mate", I don't put much stock in such a notion. To me it's so New Age.

Having been born in 1945 I grew up with the likes of, "Leave it to Beaver", "Father Knows Best", TV shows where the Good Guys always wore the White Hat, etc. A time when all of society required temperance. From your school, to the neighbors, to your home and all points in between kids were to...

If you are coming up short I will pray for you. No thank you. My relationship with the Lord is between me and Him and He's quite capable of handling the situation. This does come to mind however. "We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God". There are no exceptions. Not...

In Eastern North Carolina it's about $3.70 a gallon. Both South Carolina and Virginia are much cheaper as the Tax is lower. Here's a list of companies that Imported and American Gas Companies. If in America - buy American. These companies import Middle Eastern oil...

The biggest obstacle we have with our prayer life is "us". Me included. Here's a check list I ran across that can be quite helpful in evaluating why perhaps, our prayers are not answered as per the Scripture so here's a "checklist" to evaluate yourself. 1, Is there unconfessed sin in...

glfredrick, well said. Amen!

Extreme Legalism or, for that matter, extreme Fundamentalism, takes so much away. We have enough burdens to carry now without adding more on top. I've spent many years in churches where as a believer and member I just wasn't doing enough; wasn't on my knees enough; wasn't in church enough...

Hey Tom. There's a difference between "stock piling food" and putting up food. All of my relatives used to sow, reap, and put up food stuffs for the winter months. Your extended family probably did the same thing. Nothing wrong with this at all. Should the power go out for just three days...

A few years ago and by Executive Order, it was mandated that should America experience a catastrophic calamity, the government would have the authority to confiscate any and all stock piled food supplies, generators, gasoline, guns and ammo held along with any other items they might see and feel...

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 Had Adam not sinned there would have been no need for Jesus. This should be considered a fault?

Okay FAL, tell when you plan to recognize Easter. Sunday, or on Monday? Otherwise, I'm done with this thread. It's in a loop with no end in sight.

FAL, what part of the Romans' Friday beginning at 6 PM on Thursday evening not translate to three days if Jesus arose on a Sunday Morning. To us, our Thursday, (which was their Friday) our Friday, (which was their Saturday) and our Saturday, (which was their Sunday). Going by their time...

Actually God spoke the truth, but many just reject it for the teachings of men. it is impossible to have... So obviously you didn't check out this link which was previously posted? http://carm.org/how-long-was-jesus-dead-tomb Just scroll down a little bit and take a gander at the chart...

Well folks, it looks like we have finally come to the bottom of this controversy that has raged on page after page. From FAL's link, first couple of lines, it says, The Lord Jesus Christ clearly said in Matthew 12:38-40 that He would spend "three days and three nights in the heart of the...

I think, that someone thinks, that coming to the Lord for Salvation..., and then accepting His Saving Power, is but a Down Payment. Then, after the down payment some think there's like monthly installments. I don't think so. After one's Salvation experience a New Christian has no desire...
