    offering time? blessing....

    It's really simple, the Bible gives clear precedence for ministers to live off of a portion of what's donated: 1 Cor. 9:7-14. However, if you don't believe that the church is fulfilling it's mission as outlined in the Bible, don't give. Even better, don't attend it either. Find a church that...

    Bible Study Significance of Tithing to Melchizedek

    Consider also what they said to Abraham in Genesis 23:6 later on: 6 “Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among us..." Abraham was eventually seen as royalty in the peoples' eyes and this was even before he owned any land. Thanks for jumping in Eugene. The first part of Hebrews 7:3 also...

    Bible Study Significance of Tithing to Melchizedek

    Here's another random thought. For a moment, let's just imagine that Melchizedek was an actual king and not just Christ in the OT. This is a powerful moment for Abram where it is evident that no king can overpower him and yet, he clearly submits himself to Melchizedek. What if Melchizedek...

    Bible Study Significance of Tithing to Melchizedek

    Wow, there is some amazing perspective from you guys on this passage. I'm loving and look forward to more. I'm going to throw my two cents in here now. Just know these are rough thoughts I'm still formulating which is why I'm crowd sourcing this a little bit too. FYI This is also not some...

    John 3:3 Picked Apart With A Question...

    The Greek for "see" can mean to see with the physical eye but it can also mean to perceive, observe and understand. I personally believe in the supernatural around us and I believe some people can see things in the spiritual realm, BUT, I believe Jesus is referring to perceiving and...

    Bible Study Isaiah 65:20

    Doing well Chopper, thanks for asking. My site, Small Group Churches, isn't specifically targeted at house churches per say, more small groups that belong to churches, BUT, many of the principles and concepts are transferable. We have some great resources on there along with a message board for...

    Bible Study Isaiah 65:20

    I agree with Chopper. Basically, one of the promises of the New Age is longevity. Death will not be able to take an infant or an old man is the concept at the beginning of the verse. The 2nd part expresses an opposite truth: A sinful person who dies at the age of 100 will be considered a...

    Bible Study Significance of Tithing to Melchizedek

    Okay, I appreciate the feedback so far, but we've already gotten a little sideways on this and nobody has answered the specific questions I laid out. For now, let's set aside the NT Tithing debate. Here's the question again... Do you think Abram tithed to Melchizedek because he was a king or...

    Bible Study Significance of Tithing to Melchizedek

    Random thought: Did Abram tithe to Melchizedek because he was king or because he was priest? Why? What's the significance? If your answer is both, why?

    Easiest verses to memorize in the NIV

    I can't believe you left out the all-time best scripture memory verse in the whole Bible...(wait for it) John 11:35: Jesus wept.

    Can there be a revival?

    1. I believe revival can happen now based on 2 Chronicles 7:14: 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2. There's a lot of...

    How do you pray?

    18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit... - Eph 6:18 17 pray without ceasing... - 1 Thess 5:17 I ask the Lord to form in me a "praying spirit" that prays throughout each day.

    What are you afraid of the most?

    "Have it your way.." Not exactly :) (Boy, talk about choosing the wrong person to do that too. Who else could have the burger tested and analyzed?)

    Jacob have I loved...

    I don't intend to fully answer your question as God's ways are typically beyond our finite thinking. But here are a couple things to consider... God was creating contrast between those whom He has chosen and those whom He hasn't. God really "calls" everyone, but it's those who respond who are...
