    Desiring the truth vs. loving the truth

    I'm having difficulty understanding how one can, "...desperately desire the truth, but without love of the truth." I understand how we can seek truth and then reject what we find, but something gave us the desire to seek truth in the first place. (This is prevenient grace). Can we really...

    Walking on the water

    I once read a comment that this event was not really about too little faith. Peter did get out of the boat and walk. The "little faith" comment is actually referencing a faith that is too short, had no endurance. Peter started strong but could not endure. This changed my view of the whole...

    Shepherd Us Through The Valley

    I liked Ave Maria a Trasbordo and The Last Effort of the Day and am a little fascinated with his symbolic connections of mothers and trees. Interesting.

    Shepherd Us Through The Valley

    Love the art. I looked up other Segantini works. I can relate to some of his painting but others are way over my head. It was worth the time.

    Is it OK if Christians Buy the Lotto?

    The people who run government lotteries sell false hope to those who feel hopeless. They profit on the misery of the lowly and the poor. They do this for their own power and advantage. I know some will sat they play reasonably for the fun, some also play from addiction while neglecting...

    Is it OK if Christians Buy the Lotto?

    When you gamble, no matter the format, you are trying to place your interests above the interests of others. This is a great time to check your heart.

    A Question

    First, welcome to CC Wrecked. I see you are a relatively new member and I hope your experience here improves. CC can be a challenge at times but there are many people here who do really try to follow God's commands and love each other. Sometimes in the heat of battle we forget Paul's...

    Significant Books?

    The Pursuit of God** A. W. Tozer This is my all-time favorite from the list. In Tozer’s own words “This book is a modest attempt to aid God’s hungry children to find Him.” I have read this little book nearly twenty times and still look forward to yet another review. Tozer ends every...

    DO YOU THINK THE CHRUCH TODAY HAS ANY POWER?

    I believe much of the western church has so perverted the truth that they have little power. Many are unable even to sustain themselves. However, I take solace in the assembly of believing people, stretching back through the centuries, each pursuing God's will as best they can, building just...

    A Question

    This is not a rhetorical question, but a question seeking information. Can anyone direct me to a church, a minister, a denomination, a speaker, an author, or anyone else that preach salvation by works? I would like to know what they actually say so I may judge their positions based on their...

    Wheat, Chaff and a burger (Matt.15)

    I agree it is tiresome. Make no mistake, I love my Christian brothers and sisters; those honest people sitting in the pews who do the very best they can to live out Yeshua's instructions. Somehow I think The Messiah felt the same way, even as He had to deal with this issue in his day...
