    Hello world!

    Yeah, ditto. :) And you won't be asked to fill out a survey either. How did you find us? Were your pages downloaded in a timely manner? Was membership response a satisfying experience? Were the ads on every first page professional and totally irresistible? Will you tell a friend about us...

    Eternal life

    That's OK. Jesus loves you anyway even if you are new to diplomacy and Christian manners. Calvinist? I absolutely believe Christ died for all for one thing. Do people have a choice to accept what Christ offers? Sure. Thing is, if they chose not to be with Christ then He isn't going to make...

    Eternal life

    All I see here is opinion. Not everybody is going to experience these things, not everybody is going to react so and not everybody is going to duplicate a hypothetical scenario. When it gets to the point that we begin to judge what might work, what makes more sense, who is a good candidate or...

    Eternal life

    How do you know what's in someone's heart before saying the prayer? How do you know they were led or weren't led to take that first step? Let's face it, all sorts of distractions can and will get in the way. We can do nothing about that. But how can He sift the wheat from the chaff when there's...

    Whats the oddest thing you own?

    Lead icicles. Found several packs of them in Mom's attic. Made of lead stamped to have the ripple effect. And my cat. He is not normal. :lol

    Eternal life

    I don't really understand what's going on here. Why is greatnews being refuted? To me his post looks pretty much like the flyers I used to hand out... no room for a sermon, brief, to the point. Prayer to Christ isn't wrong. Confessing one's sin isn't either. Wanting to be with Him in Heaven...

    "Go and sin no more"

    I'll just say certain things occurred that weren't of my design and let it go at that. ;)

    "Go and sin no more"

    I am desperate for nothing. Desperation is from pride wrought by the desire to "win" a debate. Nor am I enticing anyone into a works discussion. I don't seek to win. I really don't have to. To tell the truth I think we're saying the same thing but in a different manner. I don't see you claiming...

    "Go and sin no more"

    I just don't believe one can be perfect while in the flesh. And yes, I know scripture can be shown to both support and refute the belief. Depends how one cares to interpret it I suppose. I believe man has an inherent sinful nature against God while we are in the flesh. Therefore the need for...

    "Go and sin no more"

    Perfection is our hope, our faith for He is that perfection. Without Christ the spirit seeks to please the world, embraces it and sin is by individual definition forged by what the world pursues, accepts. The flesh is served. With Christ the spirit is changed becoming an enemy to the world. Our...

    "Go and sin no more"

    Some would take that to support a works-centered belief and I have yet to meet a perfect Christian. I've met a few professing Christians though who believe they have worked very hard to gain a closer position to perfection therefore they deserve the credit, the honor and the recognition of...

    "Go and sin no more"

    I'm thinking about putting a trash can near my mailbox, paint it real nice to match the box and put big letters on it saying, "Deleted Mail". :D

    "Go and sin no more"

    I think too much is being read into "go and sin no more." What was her sin? Adultery. Don't be an adulteress anymore. She wasn't stealing and she didn't murder anybody. The people were still under the law. If she had been commanded to commit no sin what-so-ever then sin would be something she...

    Love feast

    Have a potluck at the church? Well, I'll have to think about that one a bit. :D I believe a church has the liberty to decide the issue for themselves. Some may deem it ok while another doesn't. If you're a member of a church that does then you have the liberty to attend or not attend. Our...

    Will we all die this year?

    If they had known the Word of God, that man does not know the time of His coming, the end of days as we know it, then no such prediction would have been made. If we want to believe the Mayans predicted the end and that it is true then we have decided to believe a pagan society rather than God. I...

    Will we all die this year?

    The end of the world because the Mayan calendar ends on Dec 21,2012? It's simply denotes the end of an era and the beginning of another. In reality there won't be anymore of a sudden worldly jolt than there was when the industrial age ended and the information age began. Maybe it was like...

    Does the Bible tell us to celebrate Christmas?

    His birth was foretold and looked forward to for a long time by those who believed the Father. For Christians not to recognize, celebrate and acknowledge the supreme promise kept would surely be a stiff-necked and rebellious act on our part. That recognition is an essential that we believe...

    Kids Fighting Back

    Passivity or violence. The Amish are an example of the total Christian pacifist. Thing is, they can only survive to practice their beliefs behind those who are willing to protect their freedom with the use of force. I could say, "OK, I'm a strict pacifist. Since you don't believe as I do then...

    What if Christ had not died?

    And started ours. ;) Thing is though is that Satan still feeds on the flock. He'll take as many of us as he can down with him. Those that think it's all a game or a sham will hate Satan for deceiving them or allowing their pride to deceive themselves. Either way they'll hate him for it. And...

    What if Christ had not died?

    Hey Classik, Yes, Satan probably thought he triumphed over Christ. But Christ had no sin in Him, therefore Satan couldn't hold Him. 1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 1Co 15:57 But...
