I have heard it asked by many "what is wrong with society". In all the discussions no one ever gets the answer right! There is a loss of morals within society. Our morals are no longer based upon Biblical truths. Our morals have become based upon individualism. "What is right for one might not...

The last thread i posted was titled "Encouragement" and i am in a way "bouncing" this thread off of it. While we are here on this earth we as Christians have so much against us. God has in a way given this world over to satan. This is not taking away from Gods Sovereignty, but He is allowing...

In my morning reading i was totally encouraged by God. This was from Tabletalk magazine by Ligonier Ministries. The article was titled "When all things are made new". I live my life in constant pain 24/7/365 due to ostio and rheumatoid arthritis. It often gets me down but i never allow it to...

I was looking thru the forums just now and i saw a huge problem. There are quite a few threads against certain "denominations" and how "wrong" they are. Now upon start if i myself had to "choose" a theology i would say i myself find Reformed Theology to be Biblical. But even before that i would...

There are those who say "you should not wear a cross because it puts Jesus back upon the cross"...absurd! There is one very valid reason to not wear a cross. Exodus 20:4 "You shall not make for yourself an idol". This is directly from God. But the cross in and among itself is not wrong. How we...

Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." (NKJV). This was my verse for this morning so i started thinking. What is, or are, the desires of my heart? What do I want most in this life I live? My first thought was, "I want to glorify God...

I believe that understanding the Sovereingty of God is foundational to our faith, walk with Christ, trust in God, sanctification and ultimately our relationship with God the Father. I also believe that the Sovereingty of God is the most loved, hated and missunderstood of all the characters of...

The study of Gods Word is very important to the growth of a Christian (2 Tim 3:16). But it can also be done for the wrong reasons. There are 3 main reasons for the study of Gods Word; 1: so we can grow closer to God. 2: to worship God 3: to glorify God Yes, we are to study Gods Word so we can...

I am no great theologian. I dont know everything nor do i have all the answers. But i am no slouch either. Those who know me, know that when i study Gods Word i go into great depth. I have been called a deep thinker and this subject has had me thinking deeply. Lately i have been studying one...

I pray this morning, for each one of you, that God would light the fire in your heart for the Glory of God! God bless you all and have a glorious day in the Lord!

Many of us here an CC know exactly what we believe when it comes to our faith in Christ. There are also a few here who dont know what they believe and so are looking for answers to their questions. On every thread we can see what each other believes on a particular topic. When it comes to faith...

There is one "theme" throughout the Bible that we often forget about. We are called to be different. We see this repeated in each of the four major sections of the Bible; the law, the prophets, the gospels and the epistles. Leviticus 18:3 "You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to...

We have all seen or heard a passage of Scripture taken out of context. This is ususlly followed by someone stating "You have taken that out of context". The Bible is both like and unlike every other book writen. It is like other books in that you must read the book to understand the book. You...

The word "love" is used many ways and forms in language. "I love you", "I love pizza", "I love music" ect. It is also one word most abused in language. We will often say "I love you" to gain something we desire. The word "love" is translated into English 310 times in the KJV, 348 in the NASB...

In Matthew 13:15 Jesus says "A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house". At the time Jesus was not accepted in his home town or in his own family as the Savior. They basically said "we know him. There is nothing special about him". Now skip ahead to after his...
