    Copying the Bible by hand....

    I don't think I would devote time to the tedium of copying, but rather, spend time everyday listening to the teaching of a great pastor who can lead you to the meaning of scripture. The scriptures are complex and require careful exegesis to get to the one meaning God is communicating. On the...

    The One World Religion of the Tribulation.

    One pastor I know believes the one world religion will be based on reincarnation. This leaves a personal God out of the picture, is self-centered, and cheapens life. It makes executing those who refuse the mark of the beast more palatable; they will just be reincarnated.

    Free Will compatible with Sovereignty

    I think that people who reject the free will of man do not see how big God is. God is able to accomplish His will and plan in spite of all the freewill decisions of angels and mankind. He is so big and capable that He accomplishes His will over, under, around or through our decisions. This is...

    The Purpose of This Life

    Yes our purpose is to choose. Our choice to believe in Christ recognizes that God is Righteous, Just and also Loving, all of which come together at the cross. All of this plays into and resolves the angelic conflict. We are witnesses against Satan.

    Your Reason For Not Attending Church

    I don't go to a local church because I haven't found one near me that teaches the scripture in depth. All they do is play social games and try to get everyone busy doing community service. That's not what the church is for. So I go to church everyday for an hour by listening to recorded...

    Help! Struggle

    Everyone has doubts. But the solution is the same for everyone. I've said this many times before, but here goes again. We all need to grow up spiritually. When you do, you trade doubts for confidence that comes from knowing the Word of God as the only source of absolute truth. Your friends...

    Hedonism is the root of American problems.

    The answer always starts with the spiritual solution. 2Ch 7:14 if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

    I did not say we don't have feelings, I said feelings are not the basis for the spiritual life.

    This is something for an antique book dealer to evaluate. You might be able to find out more from a google search for this particular edition. Someone bent over backwards to translate into a rhyming form.

    Maybe my Sins are the reason why. Help me!

    The spiritual life has nothing to do with feeling. Its all about knowing, believing and applying the Word of God to you life. It is the Word of God that is alive and powerful. But nothing happens without the filling of the Holy Spirit (getting back into fellowship) through the confession of...

    The elephant in the room

    Php 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. All of us have received pain and given pain...

    CHRISTMAS

    Celebrating the true meaning of Christmas can not be wrong. After all, the world waited thousands of years for the savior to come. The angels thought it was worth celebrating. It is the fulfillment of prophecies that go all the way back to the Garden of Eden. I celebrate Christmas every day...

    How do we answer the questions & statements that test our faith?

    The response of the atheist is packed with multiple sub-questions like: "Why is there evil in the world?", "Why was the human race created?", "What is the nature of God?", "Is death the end?" etc. You could spend all day going back and forth with an atheist who wants to use rationalism and...
