John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Lately I’ve been on a kick about words. Partly due to the fact that my kids are reaching their teen years and are trying out words, and combinations of words, far advanced from the days when my wife and I...

from Nathan W. Bingham During the month of September, Reformation Trust is giving away the eBook edition of Blood Work. In this book, Anthony Carter traces the theme of the blood of Christ through the New Testament, showing how the biblical writers used the powerful metaphor of the blood of...

I came across something today that reminded me about love and marriage. I am reminded also about just how fragile this subject of marriage seems to be in our modern world today; how we made the simplest thing so darn complicated that we have perhaps forgotten the truth. We have all these...

First of all, shame on you, not me, for thinking what you're thinking :-) Many of us who've grown up in America have known a few dirty old men. You know what I mean. The type of men who who worked with their hands turning the soil, managing animals. Yes, Farmers, Ranchers, those types. The...

Why I know I am 100% saved and secure in salvation and what God says of it...here we go. :-) 1. The believer has everlasting or eternal life. John 5:24: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come...

Thought it might be time for a new thread since we are wearing out some of the other threads about choices and grace, the will of man and the will of God. I've seen where many have been stumbling into the subject of predestination, and since it's part of the will of God, I thought it...

I thought about putting this in the A&T section, but getting to the doctrine of what sin is would have made it too long. Besides, this is more about sin as the world sees it by standards the world has set. What does the secular world thinks of sin. They may not call it sin, but if we use the...

Unconditional election is a phrase that is used to summarize what the Bible teaches about the predestination—or the election—of people for salvation. It represents the second letter of the acronym TULIP, which is commonly used to enumerate the five points of Calvinism, also known as the...

This might ultimately get moved, or locked, or computers might just get thrown through windows, but I thought it'd be fun to post it anyway with a bold statement to say that NO ONE MAKES CHOICES. We only think we do, but all we are actually doing in life is stepping into our own fates to-which...

Smart, manipulative, strong willed....and Dramatic...That's my youngest. ;) I could use some advice. Need to know some thoughts from others. My youngest is 8...almost 9. Today my wife and I discovered that she has an "F" in English! All because she failed to turn in two assignments that we...

I'm hoping to share some ideas. Are there any fun things you do to teach your kids? I like learning. Always have. I've read more text books and watched documentaries for fun, then I have read fiction and movies for entertainment. I'm more of an analytical thinker. In any case I try to...

We don't hear too much about the nation of Islam or Lewis Farrakhan in the national news, but lately he's been on a college campus tour, speaking at several universities, mostly in the south. His rhetoric is is racially charged mixed with a flavor of old time gospel hour preaching styles, but...
