You are correct - God's not stupid. He knows how to get the job done right... It seems to me that all persons of the Godhead work together to save the sinner: God the Father - who elects His people and gives them to Christ his son for safekeeping. Christ - our savior who takes our sins upon...

That is a very strange concept, since each of us enter this life in the following condition: The whole world is liable to the condemnation of God (Rom. 3:19) All have sinned and are deprived of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) The wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23). But isn't it wonderful that we...

Outlander, I was over 40yrs old before I became a believer! I began going to church simply because my wife was a Christian. It was simply to support her and for no other reason. I had absolutely no expectations for myself. Believe me when I tell you that I sat in church for almost 2 years...

The ice will most likely melt!

Well, both you and @Rufus are back at it again! I just hate it when someone uses scripture to make their point! :)

Genesis 6:18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you. Seems like the grace that was poured out on Noah was spilled out to his entire family through the covenant that God established!

Would everyone please leave me alone! I'm about ready to have my supper!

I have a granddaughter who has overcome this fear by necessity! She was born with CP, and because of this, her muscular ability is severely affected. Not only does she have difficulty walking, but also has difficulty speaking or even swallowing. She can swallow, but it must be done slowly and...

You are correct “that love is not because of some status we have attained”! Scripture tells us that He loved us even before we were born. Not all, but some! There was nothing in us which caused Him to love us, but we were chosen for some reason that we will never be able to understand. To think...

A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...

I have never read a verse which says "I will remove your heart of flesh and give you a heart of stone"!

As does Rock of Ages! http://ncfmusic.com/watch/rock-ages/

I totally agree that all music should be God pleasing and sung in thankfulness to God. This is what I believe the older hymns provide. There are some newer songs that are beautiful in both word and musical arrangement. However, each one must be carefully reviewed before bringing them into a...

It wasn't just Biden's inability to complete a sentence that made him look so bad. If you watched his face, he looked just like a kid who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar!...........................

James, I was very late coming to Christ. I wanted and needed Christ, but never dreamed that I would ever be accepted by Him. But, believe it or not, no one deserves His mercy and forgiveness! Remember, He came to save the lost sheep. But I hear the doubt in your voice. Do you doubt that He...

Rosemary I enjoy your posts, although they do not come often enough. They are brief and to the point. After reading your about page I see the gentleness in your life that directs your unshakable faith. Since I am your senior by some 20yrs, I feel it my duty to leave you with this very important...

I agree! Leviticus 20:26 ESV You shall be holy to me, for I the Lord am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine. (set aside) He has set us aside that we should be His! We are not yet perfected, but will be when He comes!

Not unless God has given us a new heart and enabled us to understand His desires. Only then, can we make choices which are pleasing to Him!

The Old Testament has a rich record of the work of the Spirit, but He was not poured out on all flesh under the Old Covenant. Instead, certain men were filled with the Spirit at certain times and only for certain duties. It was rather selective: Joseph was filled with the Spirit of God. Even...

When you consider what Paul proclaimed, you can begin to see that when his teaching reaches the ears of those who have received a new heart – they will be strengthened. However, those who are not God's people will not hear and believe! Is this God's method of separating wheat from tares?
