JohnDeereFan, with all due respect you sure do come across as a grouch. As I said, with all due respect and no harm intended, but it really seems to me that way. I know..., I know..., this is me. :tonofbricks:

Familiar Scripture that we all know... "If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear fromheaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles7:14 Isn't it odd that our...

Dave Hyles - predator, serial adulterer Ray Batema - adulterer, ran off with church funds Truman Dollar - sodomy, when exposed blew his brains out Bob Gray - pedophile (26 counts) Jack Hyles - adulterer, homewrecker Dr Bob, I was totally "unaware" of this information. Makes me want to...

The other side of the coin is, you won't find Satan working in the dead churches as they are already dead. Satan does his best work in churches that are moving along for the Lord. It's certainly a shame these men succumbed to the lust of the flesh such as they did.

(For instance, mornings do not break "like the first morning", do they? There was no sunrise, indeed no sun, on that first morning. Creation was far from complete on that first morning.) I agree, but... Pat Boone is a Christian. He also was college educated and his Major was English. I...

From my daily Devotional for Sunday, May 22nd, 2011 Our Lord forgives but doesn't forget? What say you? If some one "messes up" and contracted AIDS their sin will be forgiven but the disease remains. Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me...

God isn't the author of confusion, is He? No, I didn't think so.

I believe you would still be bored. Dear one, not saying for sure, but believe I am conversing with a babe in Christ. My church has them, and don’t know of any that doesn't. But hold you fire for a moment. I admit I may be wrong. Perhaps it is complacency I see in your posts. Everyone is...

To me, the Catholic "Religion" is a mirror image of the Scribes and Pharisees. I also believe, 2 Timothy 3:16: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction ..." Also, Rev 22:19 warns man, "And if any man shall...

39 for us.

I'm ready!!!

Honestly speaking as a youth pastor and father of two teens, I can honestly say that we (the church in general) have to do the hard work and stop being content with our same old same old Sunday morning lessons. How right you are and to make this happen requires "change". ...and people...

ashleysdad, my daughter is a graduate of Pensacola Christian College and believe me when I tell you she came home a liberated woman. They come into our churchs once or twice a week and what are they being taught? In all the years we have attended Baptist Churches I've been preached to in...

Lets see here. The word DEFER means, to put off (action, consideration, etc.) to a future time: —Synonyms Defer, delay, postpone imply keeping something from occurring until a future time. To defer is to decide to do something later on: to defer making a payment. To delay is...

JohnDeereFan, only in America have so few done so much for so many. If your mindset was the rule of thumb we would never have had the telegraph; advancements in medicine; electric light; the automobile. Perhaps we would never have created John Deere farm equipment. I mean, the kerosene lamp...

They are simply singing the lyrics to a different tune. Bingo! Singing the same lyrics to a different tune doesn't necessarily constitute an evil. So consider the reason for the resistance. The resistance usually comes from an attitude of, "Well, we ain't never done it that way before...

Did someone suggest that young people should be lured into the church by offering up rock music?

Old Union Brother, change is hard and scary for some. People become entrenched and will not budge no matter the consequences. The Scribes and Pharisees refused to change as they enjoyed the rut they were in. Needless to say, the message should never change. Jesus Saves! The general make...

The only real point I was trying to make here is that it's okay to rejoice in the Lord..., over and above what way too many stuffed suited Churches will otherwise allow. People show up for Church and sit in same pews they have been roosting in for the past 25 years; the Pastor gives a hand...

If they abandoned the church, then what sort of relationship did they have to begin with? Perhaps they felt abandoned "by" the church. Perhaps they felt their suits were not up to expectations? Or, perhaps they felt left out as only the Deacon's had the right to input ideas? Or, perhaps they...
