    Women Pastors

    Do not try to make the question of women ministers a sign of the times! God did not say that the office was to be filled by men until I tell you otherwise. I would agree that there are plenty of women who, on surface, would be judged to have more knowledge than the men around them. However...

    Liam, My thoughts and prayers are with you. Both you and your wife have put yourselves in a difficult situation. It seems to me that your last expressed thought, “Does anyone have advice, please go easy on me. I rack up judgment and shame everyday.” , says a lot. I can only suggest that both...

    My earlier question was can regeneration take place early in life so that we are unaware that it happened? Regeneration to me is the preparing of the heart. This could happen at any time, well before we actually believe. In order to believe, our heart must be prepared to receive the good word...

    T That was sort of what I was thinking! God could prepare you heat, but wait until years later to apply faith in your heart. He may plan that you hear a certain message latter which will completely change your life forever. Thanks for your input.

    Something came into my mind and I would like to hear some feedback from others concerning your thoughts on this matter. My question is – Could regeneration take place without producing a noticeable change in us until an appointed time? In other words, could God regenerate a person shortly...

    Sorry if I did not understand your thoughts. I thought you were implying that I had to believe before God could regenerate me, before He would soften my heart.

    I'm so happy that you believed enabling God to regenerate you. He could not have done it without your help! In my case, He did it all Himself. Therefore, I have no reason to boast!.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    The teaching below is Williamson's belief on man's free will and how our reasoning was impacted by that fall. I find that there seems to be much truth in what he wrote. Free Will – G.I. Williamson – liberty vs ability In his study guide, Williamson does a very good job of explaining that no...

    Last summer several men from church including myself helped an elderly man mow his land. He has about six acres so it took awhile.

    That is correct. Hearing alone is not enough. Fallen man is tough and it takes all three persons of the Godhead to get them on the path of recovery.
