    Old Testament Judge and King.

    Encourage One Another Daily

    Paul told us to encourage one another daily. I thought it would be great to have an, "encourage one another thread". It seems that this is not one of those things that comes easily to us. How do you encourage people in your daily lives? Do you purposely set out to encourage your...

    I've been hearing a lot about how the faith we have is not our faith, but it's the faith of Jesus. I was just wondering what scriptures would validate this teaching? I have never heard this until I came here to CC. Does anyone know when this teaching began? Is it a denominational teaching...

    Now That We're Saved, What's The Law Got To Do With It?

    Hi Guys, There seems to be a misunderstanding about the Law. What has happened to the law. Has it disappeared? Is it null and void now? Did God kill it? Is the law holy, righteous and good? Or is it evil and wicked and we treat it like we treat sin……we abhor it and despise it and avoid...
