    Can you break down the end times for me?

    Brother, I am fine if that's your interpretation. If that's the way things go down I will stand in faith and be ready. Couple things to consider: 1. There's no scriptures in the Bible that state that the church will go "through" the Great tribulation. 2. A 'singular Post-tribulation rapture...

    New Samsung Watch

    I'm also not sure if they did the marketing right. All the clips from the sci-fi movies and shows pulls you in at first, but for me to buy something like this I need to be sold that it's critical to being as efficient as possible. The marketing I've seen makes me feel like I need to buy it to...

    I am intrigued by your group "Small Group Churches" I have, over the years, made it my mission to pastor only small churches, from "house" church to assemblies from 25 to 125 people. Once in Somerville, Maine, we reached 125 and we started another assembly in a town about 30 miles from us. My...

    New Samsung Watch

    Cool idea, not much of watch guy myself. Already have an iPhone that tells the time :) I also don't think I want to have many public conversations out loud at my wrist. It will be interesting to see if the market likes it.

    Computer Overheating

    Never use your laptop on your lap or on your bed. I use a Targus Laptop Lap Desk Unfortunately I did this after having my hard drive go down twice in a year due to overheating. Haven't had a problem since.

    Family Devotional Resources

    I have a 15 month old son. We too use the Bible. I'm a Pastor so I'm comfortable studying it and discussing it. In the past we've done devotions after dinner and we've also gone through the 10 Commandments of Marriage by Ed Young, Jr. Was just wondering if anybody else had used something they...

    Can you break down the end times for me?

    I am licensed minister with the Assemblies of God. The AG official stance is the pre-trib rapture which I agree with. However there are scriptures that seem to hint towards a mid-trib or post-trib rapture. I'll be honest, know one really knows for sure. If we're living sincerely for the Lord...

    Hmmm... 1) Good to know that my first impression is that people think I'm a minister, thanks! 2) I was not aware that my comments had an association with a political party. I'll have to type more carefully next time. God bless!

    I am one of those preachers who teaches out of the NIV. My church uses the NIV as the standard translation to teach and preach from. I agree with everything else you said. I was simply answering the title of the thread, which only referred to the translation.

    It depends what you're looking for really. It's difficult to translate Greek and Hebrew into English perfectly, so each translation has it's own strengths and weaknesses. KJV - obviously the wording can be tough sometimes, but remember it was written at the peak of the English language...

    Hello, my name is Andrew Mason...

    From my desk, we are in the middle of our Fall Small Groups. We just launched over 50 Small Groups, which is the most the church has ever had so there is enthusiasm and excitement about what God is going to do in this season. We are seeing a lot of new people get connected to His body as well as...
