If your church is small, it particularly needs you to be active within it and positive about it, showing love to the other members at all times. I think that if you do that, your problems will seem less important. If you can't do that, the best thing you can do for the church is to leave. In a...

Further to my last post, here is a list of books by Professor (as he now is) Megoran. https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/995887.Nick_Megoran

Some years ago I reviewed a book: Warlike Christians in an Age of Violence by a chap called Dr. Nick Megoran (Cascade Books, 2017. ISBN 978-1-4982-1959-4). I don't know whether it is still in print, but I do think it is worth reading, even if one disagrees with it. Dr. Megoran is eager to...

Acts 20:7. 'Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together........' 1 Cor. 16:1-2. 'Now concerning the collection for the saints......... On the first day of the week let each one of you lay something aside.....' But the main point IMO is not the particular day, but the fact...

News to me. One reason Prime Minister Chamberlain "appeased" Germany was because he knew that Britain was in no fit state to fight a war, due in part to retrictions that the USA had pushed on to Europe through the League of Nations. My late father was on the convoys bringing aid to Russia...

Our church plant in Budleigh Salterton starts morning services this coming Lord's Day. We have been doing door-to-door calling and we are hopeful that there will be a reasonable number of people attending. Please pray for the faithful preaching of the Gospel and the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 28:16-20 has the answer. All power in heaven and earth has been given to the Lord Jesus Christ. Do we really believe that? Or do we think it has been given to Mohammed? The West needs to repent and then get out and preach the Gospel. Amos has a helpful word: 'Woe to you who are at...

I think the main thing is to get the Scriptures into the hands of unbelievers. When they are converted you can give them a better translation, but the first thing to do is to get the Scriptures in the hands of the unsaved. Give them the Bible you've got handy. The one exception I would make to...

Muslims are coming to Christ in large numbers in many countries, often in the face of the most vicious persecution. One place they are NOT coming to Christ in large numbers is the U.K. Why is that? I think one reason is that the 'Christians' they see on the television tend to be the...

Thanks for this. I was thinking I might have to do something similar and I really have no time at present with my church's plant happening this Lord's day. You have done a very good work! The only comment I will make is that I don't think the word "heresy" should be used on a discussion forum...

The Lord Jesus got tired and needed to sleep (Mark 4:38). God does not get tired and does not need to sleep (Isaiah 40:28). Elsewhere, we read of Christ being hungry (Matthew 4:2), thirsty (John 4:6-7; 19:28). Twice we read that He wept (Luke 19:41ff, John 11:35). He is a Man; Man as though...

If Mary was not the mother of the Lord Jesus, He is not a true man. This was the faulty "Celestial Flesh" teaching of Melchior Hoffmann and Menno Simons.

Is there any truth in the rumour that the Canadian Goose is going to be re-named the Donald Duck?

@GentleGospeller, I am so sorry to read all this; I have only just seen this thread. I will be praying for you right now, asking God to strengthen you for your ministry tomorrow and to give you relief and healing from all these symptoms.

All sin is sin against God. Gen. 39:9; Psalm 51:4; 1 Cor. 8:12; James 2:8-9.

There is a very simple point here, which I will make and finish. I had never heard of the expression 'sinfully wrong' and certainly not in the way you say you meant it, which apparently means 'not sinfully wrong.' What I have heard of is advertizements for cream cakes etc. describing them as...

And I'm sorry to hear that you're sorry to hear that. The NKJV uses the same text as the KJV, which seems to be your preferred translation. The difference between the Textus Receptus and the Critical Text is simply one word. The T.R. has καθαριζον indicating that it is the excretion of the...

The (real) English language is richer than you can possibly imagine. My father was a Londoner and used to come out with Cockney rhyming slang that you would not begin to understand. With regard to "raining cats and dogs," when Japanese cars first appeared on British roads, we used to say that...

If that's what you think, carry on. This is not, praise God, the Cal vs Arm forum. I was replying to the O.P. I suggest you do too.

God is not the author of sin. But God, for His own high purposes, did not choose to make us so many Stepford wives without ability to choose. He gave us free will, knowing that we would fall into sin by our own deliberate fault. But for that eventuality, He had already devised a plan to rescue...
