I've been there. It's been a long while but I've been there. Obviously there had to be something to begin with or one wouldn't realize it was gone. Like some man, or woman saying, "I used to love him/her but it's just not there anymore." Hog wash! If it was "truly" there in the beginning...

...and the beat goes on.

I have a relative in Ohio that needs your prayer support. A beautiful young lady who has just turned 16. She is on the road to destruction (with the help of her parents) as they have absolutely no use for her and have basically thrown her on the streets to fend for herself. As such, she...

I receive a Daily Devotion every morning. After posting the above concerns of mine I opened today's Devotion. Perhaps I should follow the encouragement and advise contained therein. Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7) As you’ve no doubt discovered...

Have you looked around town lately and taken a really good look at the conditions we otherwise remove ourselves from? Families are literally coming apart; kids are using dope at an unprecedented rate; those of age providing alcohol to those who aren't of age; burdening themselves down with...

As a result of all the discussion(s) here about this and that and one thing or another..., all I can say is..., I'm glad I'm a layman! Faith in the Lord is ALL I've got. To me the Word of the Lord is so infinite and so broad and so deep that blind faith is about the best I can muster. To...

Regarding Rev: 3:20, Albert Barnes proves the following. Verse 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock. Intimating that, though they had erred, the way of repentance and hope was not closed against them. He was still willing to be gracious, though their conduct had been such as to be...

It appears to me, Zenas, the "IT" is making reference to Salvation.

Thanks for your responses. All your comments are appreciated. I like this. Quote: "If man makes it to heaven then he can say to Jesus- "You and me- we did a good job getting me here didn't we?" Quite clearly, "we" are helpless to do anything except follow. Quote: "The Free Will's believe...

Thanks for your response. The prodigal son did in fact come to himself and returned home. The FWB maintain that had he "died" in that hog lot he would have surely been damned to an eternity in hell. From time to time I suppose we all wander and stray but if we're saved we will certainly...

Would someone enlighten me, please, on why the FWB believe that one can either "lose" their salvation or otherwise "forfeit" it and perhaps provide some scripture they rely upon to support their beliefs. I believe once saved...always saved.

The church we are currently attending is as you describe, dh1948. The two or three close knit families who's Great Grandpa's laid the corner stone in 1952 still own and operate the church. Nothing gets past the Head of each clan and nothing new is ever introduced. The only good side to this...

I knew an older man who was a Prison Missionary both in Wisconsin and here in North Carolina. He related that while witnessing to inmates many admitted to being "born again" and many admitted having attended Church's that preached Salvation through Jesus. Many admitted to be in prison...

It's a shame but you simply can't trust anyone.

I do hope none of you consider the following to be..., "cheesy"... The Hell-Bound Train Tom Gray law down on the barroom floor. Having drunk so much he could drink no more. So he fell asleep with a trouble brain And dreamt he rode on the Hell-Bound Train. The engine with blood...

In the church we currently attend I would estimate that about 95% of the membership exceeds 65 years of age. Here, the elderly are overlooking the youth! Something is wrong with this picture.

I read his first book, "Marketing of Evil" and was impressed. The younger generation really doesn't have a clue as to what's behind the fads they follow. I've asked a few young guys why they have their ears pierced only to be told it's "cool" to do so. I then relate to them about pierced...

Kupelian to CBN: Churches 'subverted, dumbed down' In a televised interview on the popular Christian Broadcasting Network show "Newswatch," "How Evil Works" author David Kupelian didn't hold back in identifying one of the institutions most responsible for allowing evil to flourish in America...

....11, this might not be of any help to you but I offer it up anyway. I stood before the men of our church not long ago and pointed out that a good test for their faith is to run out of money. I realize this from experience. (Needless to say I haven't been asked to speak again but it's...

Just stand by and wait patiently.
