Nah, just wanted to post something in the updated site.

A friend at work has a father nearing the end of this life. Please pray for peace for them both, thank you.

A question. When Jesus sent His disciples out and gave them power (Luke 9:1) was He giving them the Holy Spirit then or did they not receive the Holy Spirit until pentacost? Where they saved already? I know, that's 2 questions. Thanks for any responses.

Bacon!!! Just joking. I have noticed that a lot of our disagreements seem to stem from a need to have some sort of control. Calvinism/arminism, grace/works, even the day of the week the sabbath falls on and what day Jesus was crucified. We have an inherent desire to believe we have some...

Inside the White House Bible Study group - BBC News

I was reading another thread about women preaching and that got me to thinking about the differences between the offices in the title. I think a pastor leads a church and is a preacher but a preacher is not always a pastor. An evangelist goes out and brings the gospel to the world, a prophet...

I have a friend at work who is jewish and is observing passover. This got me thinking about connecting to the past. I have found that things seem more real to me when I can have an actual connection with them. For instance, I always knew there were castles in Germany, but when I was able to...

Something a pastor once said to me years ago has stayed with me and I think about it often. I had asked him if God did not want adam and eve eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, why did He put it in the garden? I mean, He could've put it in Nebraska. My pastor smiled and said it...

Micah 6:6-8 6 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my...

I posted in another thread about wanting to learn Hebrew and it reminded me of a joke I heard.... A rabbi is sitting on a park bench in Moscow reciting the Torah when a Russian soldier approaches and asks what he is doing. " practicing Hebrew" he replies, "it's the language of Heaven". The...

Another person here posted about a website called Hebrew for Christians and since I have been wanting to learn the language for some time I starred it and have decided to try and learn the written language first. I would like to ask anyone here who speaks Hebrew what they think would be the...

How many apostles are mentioned in the Bible?

I must start by saying that I probably process information a bit differently than most...In another thread some folks were joking about perch, which is a a fish to me, though they meant a place to sit. Anyway, that got me thinking about perch so I googled it and there was a story of a young girl...

Sola Scriptura is the teaching that the Scriptures contain all that is necessary for salvation and proper living before God. Sola Scriptura means that the Scriptures--the Old and New Testaments (excluding the Catholic Apocrypha)--are the final authority in all that they address (1 Cor. 4:6) and...

I am not sure where to post this so I will post it here. An amazing thing happened to me today on my way to work. Due to past bad decisions I do not drive, so I was waiting on the bus when across the street a man pulled up in a convertible jag, nice suit, no rush at all. I started thinking...

I woke up earlier in a terrible mood, not feeling good and looking at a 12 hour shift where I must remain a point of calm in the storm. That was about 2 hours ago. I sat in my flesh for a time but then I decided to pray. Now as I sit here at work before clocking in I am laughing and peaceful...

1 Corinthians 13 King James Version (KJV) 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith...

Sooo... I do not know the best way to go about this so I thought I would post Romans 8 in full. I've seen in the past people do a verse by verse exegesis (I had to google that word) and I have seen others give their opinion as a whole. Either one or another way would work fine, let's just agree...

Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. It seems that lately we have become a more divided group here at CC. Perhaps I am mistaken but it seems almost every thread...

The Word says...... Proverbs 18:21 King James Version (KJV) 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. I was hoping to get some opinions about the power of what we say. God spoke all there is into existence and I believe that what we...
