    What is the strong delusion that would cause people to believe a lie?

    This topic has been on the mind and heart of my wife and I lately. It is because we have been prompted to pray about this more and more. Not just for ourselves, but others. It is simply our desire to not be deceived and we know that only God can prevent this. It is our desire that no one would...

    Where is the word of God?

    I consider myself to be no more fortunate than anyone else. As a matter of fact, there have been many times I have felt much less fortunate than others. For a long time I was upset that I did not have some of the opportunities that others had when it came to growing up under teachings of...

    Show me that in the scriptures?

    I am posting this as something for others to study and to consider. The reason is, that as I have read throughout the forums, it has come to my attention that many people are defining words differently. Most of the time, the result is a form of debate that arises as if the people are speaking...

    What would you do if God told you...

    How would you react if God told you to marry a prostitute, like with Hosea, or a drug addict, or alcoholic or any other thing that might be on your list of "Disqualifying Traits"? Would you have ears to hear like Hosea did and be obedient? Or would you lean to your own understanding and be dull...

    Are there invisible (or visible) walls in your life?

    So I was inspired to write this by something that seems to reoccur when I meet some people. It is also something I know that I have personally struggled with. It is something that I want others to seriously consider and pray about. Do you have walls that you put up that obstruct you from...

    Is your "belief" actually unbelief?

    It has astounded me as to the amount of doubt and unbelief I have witnessed. It is very troubling at times and I have often thought as Jesus said, "Oh... you evil and perverse generation. How much long must I endure you?" I bring up this topic not to condemn anyone, but to exercise righteous...

    Was Jeremiah Called to Be Single?

    I ALWAYS thought this was the case. However, before you answer this question, take a REALLY good look at Jeremiah 16:1-4.

    What is considered appropriate or inappropriate when it comes to other singles?

    I am just kind of wondering what others find as acceptable or unacceptable when it comes to the opposite sex. Specifically singles and I don't mean anything that would be obviously offensive. What are the boundaries that take one from acceptable to unacceptable, appropriate to inappropriate...

    News from Around the World

    Just a thought I had. It would be interesting to see threads with the titles of other countries from around the world. "India" "Uganda" "Italy" etc... There are a lot of things going on in other parts of the world that we don't to hear about. I have been shocked to hear news of persecution in...

    The "Image" of the Beast

    For years I have considered what the scriptures say about this. Many of us have because the scriptures explicitly say not to receive the mark of the beast. For the longest time, I thought that the "image" of the beast and the "mark" were the same. However, today I noted that the scriptures do...

    Confirmation that the Roman Empire is not the 8th King of Revelation 17

    For a number of years now, I have considered it possible that the 8th king was a revived Roman Empire. I have heard a lot of people coming to that conclusion. While I have considered it, I kept coming back to Islam. However, in effort to remain humble I have continued to consider it. Until...

    Blasphemy to say God is not omnipotent?

    I am posting this because I have heard a number of people say that God is omnipotent. When I disagreed with someone on this, they called it blasphemy. I was never asked why or any details. There mind was apparently made up. However, as I have read through scripture I see evidence that God is...

    Who have you been compared to... and why?

    I made a reference to myself as Kramer from Seinfeld in another post and it inspired me to start a fun thread. Hope everyone has fun with this one. :) Have you ever been compared to any characters or famous people? Who are they and why were you compared to them?

    Hello again everyone.

    I realized that I just kind of showed back up after being gone for a loooong time. So I wanted to formally say hello to everyone. I see a lot of familiar people and a lot new people as well. It's been a wild past couple of years for me. Maybe at some point I can share some of it. Anyways, it is...

    It must not have been God's will... or was/is it?

    How many of us have either thought or said this at one time or another? Certainly there are times that we are humbled and corrected. We find out that we were asking God to give us what we want, instead of asking God what it is that he wants for us. Next thing you know, we are deluded into...

    God's Mathematics

    God divides, multiplies, adds, and subtracts. When God divides, it is to make a way for His people. He divided the waters from the waters so that dry land appeared. He divided the Red Sea so His people could cross to the other side. Yet God has said that any kingdom divided against itself shall...
