There are so many different topics and ideas and opinions about so many things on this forum. What if someone just wants to get Born Again? Is that complicated and controversial also? Is the on-ramp to salvation hard to find and navigate? What could we say to a lost person just coming in here...

Do you make out big wish lists for things you want from God? I do. I always get everything I want!:giggle: (NOT) I do believe we are to make our request know to God... Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be...

'Blessings' was the topic for a recent devotion. Tell me what you think of this statement... "God always connects obedience with blessing, even when He does not sketch out the full details of what that blessing may be." Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy...

A summary of Rev 19-21 for your perusal: The Rapture will happen sometime soon. You and I will suddenly be zipped up to Heaven along with all the other Christians including the ones that are dead in the cemeteries. We will then get glorified bodies and attend a Great Wedding Feast in Heaven...

This Psalm and and song helped me. Perhaps it will help you... Psalms 61:1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher...

Some of us have been discussing the word "WORD", which turns out to not be a word at all. It seems rather to be a reference to God in either of two forms: John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among...

In Genesis 3 we read of the Original Temptation of Eve by the Serpent. Some view this as a unique event in the history of mankind, but as I read over these verses, I thought to myself "how much like how Satan uses every day circumstances to trip us up and set us on the wrong path every day." I...

What is God's will for all men? Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his...

Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. What sorts of infractions might this allude...

IS IT OK TO WANT TO BE RICH? 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 6:7 For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out. 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 6:9 But they that will be rich fall into temptation...

Uprooted and transplanted... this is the vision which I awake to on this rainy wet July morning. John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no...

How do you define it and how important is it in relation to speaking to assembled groups of God's people or to the unsaved? Is it something we should all seek? Is there a difference between being ordained by God and being ordained of men?

Matthew 7 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he...

As I sat outside eating a 'Fun Size' SNICKERS bar, the question came to mind; "How long could a man live on just water and one Fun Size SNICKERS bar per day?" I sensed God answering, "Not long enough." Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone...

It's going to be OK, it really is. Everything is going to work out. Romans 8 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 8:27 And he that...

I have understood for a long time that I needed the blood of Jesus to take care of my yesterdays, but realizing my need to let Him take care of my tomorrows has been a more gradual process. If all I had ever known were sunshiney days, then I would have never realized just how dependent each and...

There are many wolves who parade around in sheep's clothing. They are here in our midst. They are easily identified if you know what to look for. Any man that teaches that Salvation is not freely available to every man, woman and child on this Earth is teaching a false religion that is...

I promised some of the newcomers we would start a thread about being 'Born Again'. This is it:) John 3 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no...

Psalm 103 103:1 [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name. 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from...

The BDF is the wrong room for a post about Prayer Request, right? The New Members Forum is also the wrong room for a person needing prayer, right? I just came from the New Members Forum. I found a man who was in desperate need of prayer. He had grabbed a thread that was ten years old and...
