For it is said, that when that due time, or appointed time comes, their foot shall slide. Then...

    Hi Laura, I love this thread! I’m a great admirer of the works of Jonathan Edwards, a humble 18th century American preacher. Here’s an example of his thoughts on the beauty of God, our King, more particularly His power: WHEN HE PLEASES, one king must die, and who he pleases must reign in his...

    Not By Works

    Well, obviously I have not read all 7,609 pages of this thread, but I’m willing to say that I agree. Good deeds are wonderful, but they don’t save us. However, once we are saved and become new creations in Christ, the good works should follow—all to glorify Him and the changes He has made in...

    Does God cause repentance?

    Yes, indeed…. John 6:44, 63-65 NKJV 44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some...

    What Think Ye of Christ? by John Newton

    I think there’s a delay in some of the forums so that a potential post can be reviewed before it’s public. I’ll be looking for your thread. :)

    Speak Your Mind.

    Very true @JohnDB! :) I’m sure I know where your trust is, whether you are vaccinated or not. However, I want believers to hear me, too. Covid vaccine discussions can be a really hot issue and cause division. I don’t imagine God is pleased with that. People can make up their own minds...

    MATTHEW Chapter 22:42 What think ye of Christ? What think you of Christ? is the test To try both your state and your scheme; You cannot be right in the rest, Unless you think rightly of him. As Jesus appears in your view, As he is beloved or not; So God is disposed to you, And mercy or wrath...
