    [__ Prayer __] Forgiveness

    Hello, Last month, I was diagnosed with lung cancer, a shocking sight to look at the x-ray and see all these pretty blooms growing everywhere in your chest. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with throat cancer which has likely metastasized. I do fear the pain that may accompany my final days...

    Remembering God's Grace

    Sometimes I come to CF.net hoping to read something funny, something uplifting, or just something edifying. This could be a slight to God in that I should find my contentment in Him, but I can be very shortsighted. So, I intend to share the grace of God in this thread, not that I don't try to...

    The Pilgrim's Progress

    To my brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who don't believe in Jesus, I wanted to comment on excerpts from John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. There is so much Scripture in it, and I believe every Christian should be encouraged by it if they read it. For the unbeliever, I hope you...

    Self-Examination; The Almost Christian

    Brothers and Sisters, I think there is a fear in self-examination that keeps us from living the abundant life promised to us as believers in Jesus. A resource that I haven't fully explored, but I think has been very insightful so far, is Matthew Mead's work in a book called The Almost Christian...

    Chatechism

    Have you ever been chatechised. I know I haven't. I share a passage from The Pilgrim's Progress because it poses a lot of questions we should be able to answer as believers who have the Bible and the Spirit to help teach us. If you have some time, read this and ask yourself what your answers...

    Apostasy

    I was reading Phil Johnson's blog and found his observations on apostasy interesting. I think it's normal to question one's faith, or examine one's faith. It does seem to take years to become grounded in the faith, but what is perplexing to me, is that some people who are heavily involved in the...

    Godly Sorrow

    Godly sorrow is very painful, but motivates us to come closer to God. Godly sorrow will help us to face our faults wherein our normal practice is to minimize them. Godly sorrow is a gift from God, and I think He pieces it out a little at a time as to not overwhelm us. I think we need God's help...

    Essentials of the Christian Faith

    What are the essentials of the faith? Father, Son, Holy Spirit, Salvation through faith alone, the inerrancy of Scripture. I realize there are many implications for each one of these categories, but I thought I would pose the question and list the essentials of the Christian faith. I also...

    Both Apostles Are Right!

    I know this subject has been hashed a thousand times before, but many people are still confused by the apparent contradiction. I've explained the congruence before but William Bacon Stevens puts it nicely. - Davies Both apostles are right! (William Bacon Stevens, "Waiting and...

    The Heavens Laugh Us to Scorn

    Take man's greatest achievements, and as we are to compare ourselves with God and not man, we will see they are puny. Tell me, what do you have to boast about? Is there a day you can go without sinning? What did the apostle Paul say about his boasting? Philippians 3:4-7 New King James...

    Calvinist Joke

    Looking Firmly at the Cross

    Good Day, When you see a cross driving down the road, what do you think of? Do you think of the suffering Jesus, dying, paying for your sins? I liked February 19th’s grace gem because Ryle said, “I believe that holiness is nowhere learned so well as on Calvary.†God can forgive sinners...

    Is not that enough to know?

    I find it encouraging to think about what it would be like listening at the feet of Jesus. Wouldn't we be quiet? Wouldn't we be focused. It is interesting that the Bible doesn't describe heaven physically, though we are given glimpses of the new Jerusalem, but it's not the place that makes...

    Does God Qualify His Choice?

    I was afraid to write this question, because people are at different stages of their faith, and there are misunderstandings of God. Often we are given enough information to make a definitive statement even though we might postulate. So, here it goes. Does God qualify His choice to save some and...

    Are You the god of God?

    ""That criminals are incompetent judges of vindictive justice." They are parties, and it is their interest there should be no such attribute as justice in the Deity. It is natural for them to flatter themselves that their crimes are small; that their Judge will suffer them to escape with...

    [__ Prayer __] An Adventure to the Hospital

    Since I've joined, I must say I've enjoyed posting on the website the last week. I can do it because I have the time. I'd like to ask for prayer as I will be turning myself into the hosital today. I hope to have surgery on my neck to have many lymph nodes removed. The doctors will be...

    What a Person Might Say or Think

    The below excerpt is what a person might say or think after heis judged and thrown into hell. I find this important to think about for atleast one reason. Having put my faith in Jesus Christ, I know I will not bejudged and thrown into hell, but it’s important to remember this is what Ideserve...

    Sharia Law

    When the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt says it only wants to institute 'basic' sharia law, what do they mean? The article goes on to say the party respects the rights of people of other religions, but I haven't heard a Muslim not say that, and yet, look at the history of the treatment of...

    Sermons on Important Subjects by Samuel Davies

    Repentance and Divine Mercy Jeremiah 31:18-20 King James Version (KJV) 18I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19Surely...
