It was useful for fundraising, though. :cool:

Oh, I thought your question was sincere.

Many people get mixed up with words like "forever" and "always" and with phrases like "forever and ever". Wisdom is needed to understand if those words and phrases mean "for all time" (where time comes to an end) or "from age to age" (where ages come to an end) or "for eternity" (which never...

"at a church" ? You obviously mean a building where the church meets. The only Biblical division of the church is location. Husbands are the ministers to their wives. How many husbands off-load this responsibility to a "pastor"? Parents are the ministers to their own children. How many...

The unrest in that region is concerning. The United States sees it as an opportunity to damage Putin's ambition erstwhile getting live-fire testing of their military technology. Most of the money is going to the war machine.

We are all called into fellowship with Him. Fellowship is a state of being of likeness and kind to one another. In the case of all believers, this is a recognition of being born from above. Because this is antithetical to being "of the world" each one's process of repentance and sanctification...

"Without spot or blemish". This was the standard for the perfect sacrifice. They were cleaned before offered otherwise they were turned away. The additional info about the priests is interesting. As Jesus was both the perfect sacrifice and the new priest washing had a double meaning. So cool!

The spiritual believer would absolutely seek the Lord for direction for his or her occupation. We should not, like the Roman Church, divide the work of the saints into "ministries" or "occupations". That idea came out of the false teaching of "clergy and laity". In Christ, we are all called to...

I included this to show that the work of the Great Harlot is already in the world. She showed up first with the murder of Abel, she continued as Jerusalem, and she is alive in the Harlot churches of the world; always seeking to shed the blood of the true saints. In this case, the Russian...

Indeed. We helped a family escape Kiev before the bombing started. They were able to get to the states (near their son) through Poland. (He and his wife were on the team that recently produced the Ukrainian Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek. Previous versions were poor translations from...

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet... The most interesting revelation to come out of the Russian/Ukrainian war is the corruption of the Russian Orthodox Church. Without Kirill's support it's likely Putin never invades. Link to more Not surprisingly, Putin's "unification" language sounds...

Choices? That’s the doctrine of Sunday boxes who reject hearing from God. Certainly we are free to choose many things with no consequence, like ice cream flavors. The direction of one’s life in the Lord is ordered by the Holy Spirit.

Absolutely not! An abusive spouse is a debtor to the marriage covenant and against their own bodies. There is even a case for “adultery” as they diminish the other directly, not indirectly like in an affair. ”The two shall become one flesh.” The elders should get involved, giving the victim...

What job to take. What to name your children. Whether or not to go to an area. Who to approach or to avoid. Who should be sent or who should be retained. Ironic that the box churches push a “personal relationship with Jesus” but Sola Scriptura forbids Him to give personal direction to anyone...

:D Right?! I was thinking over the phone. You knew his voice. Same with our spirits: we know the voice of the Lord. Whatever is spoken will be consistent with what is written in scripture. He will not contradict Himself. For the young, they need someone in their lives who has followed the...

John was the son the the High priest (a Levite) who had taken the vow of the Nazarite. He was, in effect, a super-priest (if you will). Jesus was the Lamb of God. Under the law, all sacrifices needed to be washed by the priests before they are offered to God. When Jesus told John to baptize Him...

Including that God speaks to us directly, Spirit to spirit. How did you know when your grandfather was speaking to you?

Ideally, all children would have believing parents and they would be raised in a house of God's grace and Truth. Of course, that is not the case. "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with...
