    AI--What do you think?

    Thought I would toss this in here, the AI Sermon Maker. “Where AI Meets the Holy Spirit”. Found link in an email from Church Leaders website. https://sermonmaker.net/ Is this just an amplification of or progression from Googling topics to make sermon creation easier….or is it presenting AI as...

    AI--What do you think?

    AI Overview states: Elon Musk predicts AI will replace traditional smartphones and computers in the next five to six years, not with handheld screens, but through AI-powered interfaces interacting with users via voice, gesture, or even brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink. He envisions a...

    AI--What do you think?

    Elon Musk has stated the AI modules will replace cell phones in a few years. He predicts that all information and news will come from AI transmitter sending it to your AI receiver. If AI starts generating sermons, the independent human and Holy Spirit elements will no longer be in force.

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    I borrowed the book from a local library. But the Holy Spirit can teach you how to reach the Buddhists and bring them to Christ.

    The Perfect Church

    Thank you for being so kind Martin Marprelate. I met my wife of 21 years when I was asked to teach a Southern Baptist junior high Sunday school class, and Andrea was assigned to be my assistant. We fell in love quickly and she was a perfect, godly, thoroughly Christian woman. I called her my...

    The Perfect Church

    I have wondered about this predicament many times. Bare minimum would be gospel sermons, expository Bible preaching, Bible study groups, Sunday school for adults, prayer meetings, hopefully men’s groups and an evangelism program. Sunday services only is disappointing. I have attended Baptist...

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    After backsliding for many years after I got saved, I hit rock bottom. I began reading Buddhist texts like the Lotus of the True Law and many sutras, both Theravada and Mahayana. I learned that my horrible problems were due to my own karma. Then it was a book by a Vietnamese Buddhist monk that...

    How to evangelize who resist the gospel

    If the reports are true, it looks like serving in love selflessly, receiving answers to prayer, miracles, healings, and casting out demons are effective ways for missionaries to gain respect in pagan villages. Imitating Jesus, obeying His instructions, exemplifying a genuine devout Christian...

    Are You Satisfied With President Trump?

    We must remember that Trump himself is not totally autonomous, he reports to and is managed by individuals of far superior power. Presidents are figureheads, puppets of the invisible masters. Mysteriously, Trump is being allowed to do many seemingly good things, but opposition from courts is...

    Christ bore our sins

    God did not take Jesus’ righteousness away from Him and give it to us. God did not take away His own righteousness and give it to Abraham. Righteousness of a person (Jesus) can be imputed to another person (eg, yourself), through identification, without removing it from the other person (Jesus)...

    What’s your personal assurance of salvation?

    Your reply is wonderful and blesses me greatly. I think you’re correct. Assurance is simple and direct. No complex theology, no convoluted “lordship salvation vs. free grace” entanglements. Just plain scriptures that clearly illuminate the reality of inner regeneration, which is permanent, based...

    What’s your personal assurance of salvation?

    Paul said to examine ourselves to test if we’re truly in the faith. Backsliders and hypocrites tend to have no deep self-awareness of personal sin. But let’s say you suddenly realize your life has been mostly sinful, after responding sincerely to the gospel message, and acting briefly like a...

    What Doctrine could keep us from Heaven?

    Jesus explained it clearly. John 3:19 Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil. The gospel is rejected when individuals refuse to abandon their favorite sins. Atheism has nothing to do with not having enough evidence for God’s...

    What Doctrine could keep us from Heaven?

    In the Bible, faith does not mean believing in something, but believing God. Jesus often told healed individuals “your faith has made you whole”, meaning your trusting God.

    Who are our modern Nicolaitians?

    Who are our modern Nicolaitians?

    I thought Nicolaitans were basically clergy who dominated the laity, leaders who misled the congregation, lording over them. In Greek, "Nicolaitans" is derived from νικόλαος (Nikolaos), which is a compound of νικάω (nikao), meaning "to conquer" or "to overcome," and λαός (laos), meaning...

    What Doctrine could keep us from Heaven?

    Do Old Testament scriptures on the righteousness based on keeping the Mosaic law have relevance to New Testament righteousness based on faith in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for our sins? Is not the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, and not of works, lest anyone should boast? Of...
