If I did start a group in your town, it may end up being a few more that our brother will lead to the executioner during the tribulation! :D

I'm pre-trib, so you won't be seeing me! :cool:

It looks like you and me are the only two persons in the whole church community that are well founded in true doctrine, and it is clear that you are not very sure about me!

Most reliable and competent commentators teach that 1 Corinthians 13:10 relates to the end of the Church Age when Jesus comes again. The thought of a canon of Scripture never entered into Paul's mind when he wrote it. The interpretation that the "perfect" is the canon of Scripture is an...

This is the type of uninformed generalised comment that damages your credibility. Most Pentecostals and Charismatics I know are godly people who love Christ, faithful to His Word, and who worship God in spirit and in truth. It is a concern when you show a lack of love for Christian brethren by...

We need to realise that God does everything perfectly according to His will and providence; but we have to forgive some of His servants at times.

Just shows that God has everything under control even when our situation appear chaotic. We often underestimate the providence of God, when with trust and patience we see God working things out according to His will.

When I want the Holy Spirit to teach me something, I read the Scriptures or a good expository commentary on the Scriptures. If I want the Holy Spirit to teach me verbally, I read the Scriptures out loud!

There is the story about a boy who was bullied at school for being a stutterer. After one bully had reduced the boy to tears by calling him a donkey, the boy's friend asked him why the bully called him a donkey. The boy answered: "He haw, he haw, he halways calls me that!"

The written word of God and the voice of the Holy Spirit are inseparable. The Holy Spirit will not say anything different to what has already been written somewhere in the Bible. Revelation is not new information as some suppose. It involves insight into what the written word of God is...

It is interesting that when the Holy Spirit gives me a verse of Scripture to make something clear to me, it comes in KJV format, rather than a more modern version. I don't think it is because the KJV is God's preferred version, but that for the first 12 years of my Christian life I read and...

If I want to perceive the voice of God, I read the Bible. If I want to hear the voice of God, I read the Bible out loud! We have the indwelling Holy Spirit. God speaks Spirit to spirit. The Holy Spirit speaks to our spirit, and we become aware that God is saying something to us. We then...

It is a characteristic of the devil to counterfeit the best that God gives us, otherwise people wouldn't be taken in by the false version. I have had some excellent mentors in my time who had a wonderful influence in my Christian life. I know that God provided exactly the right ones to...

This is what God thinks about arrogant people who think they are so holy that they think they have authority over their brothers and sisters in Christ: " Who say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all the day"...

What gave rise to much of the spiritual abuse from church people who saw themselves having authority over others was the emergence of the Shepherding/Discipleship movement out of Fort Laudedale, where believers were told to have a discipler to quide them. Although it is good to have a more...

My attitude to demons has been influenced by the experience of Smith Wigglesworth, the well known evangelist of the first half of the 20th Century. He woke up in the middle of the night and saw the devil standing beside his bed. He said, "Oh, it is just you", turned over and went back to...

In thinking about what I wanted to answer to you, I saw more clearly what being the head of my house really meant. It wasn't really being the commanding general of the home. It is more of a strength and protector, especially against outside negative influences. If confronted with a burglar...

Continuing my last post about being loyal to my wife. I had to learn that lesson during my first marriage. I allowed church people to criticise my first wife because she didn't go along with some of the views that some people were adopting in that church. It was reported to me that someone...

Not a problem. You are a very attractive couple. You can be a valuable part of her healing if you just let her be herself. My wife's name is Catherine, and she would be offended if I called her wifey. She has her name, and referring to her by name preserves her dignity as a person. For me...

I adopt the principle: "I am the head of my house, whatever my wife says shall be done!" As a result we have had 30 years of happy marriage. Being the head of the house doesn't mean having power and control. It means that the buck stops with you. You don't have to tell your wife what to do...
