Simply, Tithe: Mosiac Law Offering: New Covenant in guidance of the Apostles. Tithe was to be given or else you broke the law and would reap the judgments of God. Offering was described by Paul as being a cheerful giver, not under compulsion, not out of guilt or shame. Offering in the book...

I agree. It is all too easy to become distracted by the world. To be choked out by worry. To be emotionally paralyzed by grief. To suffer an Elijah under the broom tree moment. Thank God, we have a God who comforts us when we are weak.

Paul definitely provides a great example of true grit. But I also meditate on what it must have felt when Jesus was praying in the garden. To go against the natural desire to survive is one of true grit. I'm also reminded of those like the four Chaplains who were George L. Fox, Alexander D...

Very true and important to always remember.

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” – 2 Cor 4:16-17 The grit of a person is often measured by the many...

Spot on. Another confusing element to this is some will speak of baptism as two consecutive events. One of obedience to accepting Christ and then one of the Spirit a personal Pentecost event where your more charismatic or Pentecostal doctrines teach that it will be evident of tongues...

There is only one baptism that matters. The baptism of Christ. Acts 19 esv 3And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that...

I'm by no means an expert on this subject but I do understand a few things. The current direction of our economy and national debt is not sustainable. There has to be change or eventually inflation will cause riots and economic collapse once essentials become too expensive. Tariffs are good...

Nothing in reality but did have a dream one time that was quite different because I usually do not dream or can remember them. But this one felt very real and chilling. A battle between a demon, https://christianchat.com/christian-family-forum/demon-dream.208732/

Nice artwork as always!

Thank you, it is a great experience to see so man dads stepping up to do more than just occupy space in the home.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Think about the times you have faced moments or seasons of difficulty and how you handled them. Our weakness is fertile ground for God's strength. Paul's advantage point is found in the love and grace of God as shown through Christ Jesus our Lord. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10...

(My Trail Life USA devotion for this weekend's campout. Our goal is to raise boys to become men of purpose who serve others and serve God. We as Christians are sent forth to preserve external life by being a guide and pointing the lost towards Christ.) Hope Within Hardships FRIDAY NIGHT...

1. Christ has forgiven you. 2. Dementia is very difficult for the caregiver. 3. You as the caregiver must also provide yourself grace because despite our best intentions, high stress, exhaustion, frustration, emotions, etc will always cause us to not respond in the way we need to. They are your...

Oh, I'm not surprised that some churches are either too dogmatic or not true enough to gender roles. Because we know the Bible gives guidance to both genders and sets them apart as well. But once you get to the extreme of not allowing women to wear jeans or the opposite calling a woman a man...

Oh I understand. It is interesting though to think some create a stigma for independent woman just as some create a stigma for men who do not fit the handy man image. I'm guilty of once being tougher on my oldest boy where I felt the need to toughen him up by exposing him to things like hiking...

What is your favorite book of the Bible? Why? Is there anything in the Bible that bothers you? What study resources are your go-to resources when you come to something in the Bible? Do you feel adequately equipped to know how to study the Bible?

No problem. Hopefully you find some peace with this topic.

Either way, we trust God because He works in and through a leader like King David just as much as a leader like Nebuchadnezzar. We may disagree on how well the leaders are doing but ultimately God has a plan, and like it or not, currently that involves Trump and his administration.

First, it is important to define discipleship. “The term "disciple" itself is derived from the Greek word "mathētēs," meaning a learner or follower. In the context of Christianity, discipleship is not merely an academic pursuit but a transformative journey that encompasses the whole of a...
