    Entertainment is killing the Church!

    Entertainment isn't killing the church I'd argue, entertainment in and of itself, is the fruit of an already dead church. Note that I said entertainment "in and of itself" -- that is, entertainment isn't always a bad thing. It's just that entertainment has to have the anointing with it, or it...

    Churches / Denominations / Branches.

    I like a little bit of grace and a little bit of judgment preaching. Each has its place and season. :)

    Churches / Denominations / Branches.

    You would enjoy my church, brother. My pastor preaches on Hell very often, because Jesus did.

    Churches / Denominations / Branches.

    I started off in Sunday school with the Baptists. After we moved away from my childhood hometown I got involved with a church of Christ with my best friend and his family. When I was 17 I had started becoming a bit desensitized to some of their core teachings and, despite being right on the...

    Bible Study Hebrews 10:26

    I've been in a serious season of pressing. God has been dealing with me, teaching me about the fundamentals of grace, and the necessity of pressing and pruning. I have been in situations where God has shown me rather directly that there is nothing at all that I can stand on, that warrants a...

    Is not Tithing a sin? Or is it opitional?

    I would hate to say that I'd never taken a moment out of my life to clothe, feed, or visit Jesus within the homeless, prisoners, widows and lonely elderly folks. That is our New Testament tithe as far as I see it. Do I think 10% needs to go directly to the church? I don't believe so. But I also...

    Growth Character Discussion

    I hear you loud and clear brother, and I know that perfection isn't the necessity for being used. Peter gave the inaugural sermon in Acts despite denying Jesus three times. Noah entered into the post-deluge world drunken and naked and in shame. Moses was a murderer, a stutterer... God has a...

    Why should Christians go to Church?

    Thank you for being bold enough to say it. We should examine ourselves often to see if we're ineffectual. Nominal Christians make up probably 80% of the churches today, and it's easy to get comfortable when comfort is the norm. Zeal upsets peoples complacency and it leads the idle folks into...

    Growth Character Discussion

    Your post here is a confirmation, younglite, so I'm taking it as Spirit-breathed. Yes, I am a man of weak character, who is anointed, but not yet appointed. The Good Lord isn't going to send me where my character can't hold me. It's a tough process, coming face to face with your sinfulness and...

    Had church on the interstate today.

    My buddy Timmy and I were driving this afternoon on Route 460 in West Virginia when we saw an elderly gentleman hit the median and jump his car across the road. We rushed over to him to check if he was alright, and thankfully, he was just fine... I asked him if he had blood sugar problems or...

    tradition

    Yes brother... these things ARE hurting the church. I've seen too many good people turned away entirely, despite my BEST efforts at trying to fix the wounds, because people were more concerned with the tattoos on their skin or the way they were dressed, than them actually being in church. I've...

    Quiet Time

    On the way to work in the morning, in the vehicle, is when I have quiet praise time. I read my Bible at work in the mornings with my coffee. It's a silent witness to my co-workers. Yes, I'm blessed to have a job where I have that kind of down-time.

    How does God communicate to you?

    For the last year or so God has been faithful to speak to me through re-occuring Bible verses that pop up all over the place... the first part of the year it was Psalm 24, and lately it has been: "Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all...

    Bible Study Hebrews 10:26

    Oh I'm not trying to pander or anything whatsoever, or make excuses for my sins. They are filthy grievous things, and by my merit I deserve hell. I know that I have been changed by the Lord and I know that He is with me. The sins which I commit are sins that I'm heavily addicted to, but in...

    Bible Study Hebrews 10:26

    I have heard the word and kept on sinning. I haven't met a person who meets the sinless criteria.

    Bible Study Hebrews 10:26

    This verse eludes me. "If we go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins." I do willingly sin, at times. Not all of my sins are "oops" moments, they are deliberate sins, knowing full well that those sins are wrong. Here are...
