    Belief a CHOICE?

    The seasons continue and God's promises endure

    I remember having a drought this summer. I was praying for rain and apparently it didn't rain in a lot of places, but it did on my property. Kind of interesting anyways. I'm reminded of the song, Standing on the Promises of God. Isaiah 45:19 "... I have not said to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek...

    Smitten with an Atheist

    Well, Jesus said in Mark 4 that the closer we pay attention and listen to his word, the more understanding we receive; however, we don't want to get just head knowledge. We need the Spirit to illuminate our minds and receive his word like a child, with humility. "“Consider carefully what you...

    Smitten with an Atheist

    Well, one thing Paul is trying to say is, if you are saved and single, don't seek to gain a partner. Why? Because you will have worldly problems that he wants you to be free from so you can wholeheartedly serve the Lord. He does however, know the lust humans have and says that if you can't...

    [__ Prayer __] In serious trouble...please pray for me

He is good, patient, kind, loving, gracious, compassionate, FORGIVING, the healer, all knowing, all powerful. God is bigger than we can comprehend and he...

    Giving up smoking?

    I used the analogy to show the dangers that lurk around good things. Tobacco is good but some tobacco products are addicting and harmful, especially if used often. A woman is good. A bar is good if used as a place for food and for appropriate quantities of alcohol...however, many people use...

    Giving up smoking?

    Re: Giviing up smoking? My major concern with smoking is a question of idolatry and dependence on it for satisfaction apart from God. If a man cannot control his desire for something, then that something has control of him and he is enslaved to that thing. Your thoughts? I don't mind tobacco...

    [__ Prayer __] Please can I have prayer for health, peace of mind and a life with Jesus

    "Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Matthew 18:19 ESV. I agree as well.

    a Tablet as Your Church Bible - Good Idea?

    I would say that a weak faith would associate the device as sinful; however, BornAgain spoke of some great wisdom in our dependency of quick intellectual knowledge instead of seeking understanding. We are also told in scripture to do what benefits others not just ourselves, as well as being...

    Smitten with an Atheist

    Hi Shamrock. I am not very old in my faith, but I do know of a good passage to read in relation to this topic. The passage is in 1 Corinthians 7. The whole chapter would be good to read for context, and just to ensure you get a full view of what the Apostle Paul is saying; however verses 25-35...

    Another Brother

    Hello brothers and sister in Christ, as well as others who may be reading this post who don't share our faith in Jesus Christ. I was looking for a place to communicate truth and found this forum. I have been a Christian for a year and half, despite growing up in a church and family with...
