Thank you brother :) If you end up checking out the Spiritual Boot Camp series, and perhaps reading Dr. Koukl's book, Tactics, too, you'll see that the ideas that I just shared with you are hardly original with me (for the most part anyway). The great thing is, there are some REALLY important...

Hello again @NEWTOCHRISTIANITY, since I'm not going to get back home in time to post again tonight, I'll add a couple more things now (while I'm thinking about them). You've undoubtedly heard that "honesty is the best policy", yes? I would say that this is true in most situations, but I think...

I wish it was less $$, but for what it's worth, I've never heard or read a single negative review about that book. IOW, everyone I know who's read it seems to have been blessed by it, and they have nothing but good things to say about it. It's particularly helpful with witnessing/sharing the...

For another good resource (this one is free online), click here: Spiritual Boot Camp. Spiritual Boot Camp is a four-part teaching series by Dr. MacArthur/Grace to You that takes a close look at four of our most important Christian spiritual disciplines, How to Study the Bible, How to Pray, How...

Hello @icequeen, that is wonderful news. Thank you for sharing it with us :) I'm interested to know what you believe changed in your life to help you arrive at the place where you are at today, in the "eye of the storm" as you called it. Do you know what the change or cause was, or did it just...

Hello @Jeraboo, welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :) God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy (David) 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete...

Billy Graham was willing to counsel women, but only with the understanding that his office door would remain open at all times and his secretary would remain at her desk in the next room, in earshot of everything that was being said. Most of the pastors I know do so as well. As Billy Graham...

Yes, that is correct (y) The unbeliever will be judged and condemned at the Great White Throne. The believer, at the Bema Seat, will be judged (as you just said) for rewards (or not), but never condemned.

It occurs to me that verses like the following two may be also worth considering in this discussion. John 3 18 He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 5 24...

Hello Everlasting-Grace, interesting thread topic (y) Thanks :) That said, it's not that we will "get" (as a reward) gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay and/or stubble at the BEMA Seat of Christ, rather, I believe that those things represent the quality of our works that will be tested by...

Hello @John6150, thanks for the heads-up :)(y)(y) I'll see you over there as soon as I get back home, hopefully (Dv). God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy (David)
