    Introducing Self

    Welcome to CC AnnieMc, we are delighted you took the time to introduce yourself. There are many here who have been "around the block" more than once. Someone has to keep these kids on the right track! :D We are looking forward to hearing more from you.

    Is it OK if Christians Buy the Lotto?

    The people who run government lotteries sell false hope to those who feel hopeless. They profit on the misery of the lowly and the poor. They do this for their own power and advantage. I know some will sat they play reasonably for the fun, some also play from addiction while neglecting...

    Is it OK if Christians Buy the Lotto?

    When you gamble, no matter the format, you are trying to place your interests above the interests of others. This is a great time to check your heart.

    A Question

    First, welcome to CC Wrecked. I see you are a relatively new member and I hope your experience here improves. CC can be a challenge at times but there are many people here who do really try to follow God's commands and love each other. Sometimes in the heat of battle we forget Paul's...

    Significant Books?

    The Pursuit of God** A. W. Tozer This is my all-time favorite from the list. In Tozer’s own words “This book is a modest attempt to aid God’s hungry children to find Him.” I have read this little book nearly twenty times and still look forward to yet another review. Tozer ends every...

    DO YOU THINK THE CHRUCH TODAY HAS ANY POWER?

    I believe much of the western church has so perverted the truth that they have little power. Many are unable even to sustain themselves. However, I take solace in the assembly of believing people, stretching back through the centuries, each pursuing God's will as best they can, building just...

    A Question

    This is not a rhetorical question, but a question seeking information. Can anyone direct me to a church, a minister, a denomination, a speaker, an author, or anyone else that preach salvation by works? I would like to know what they actually say so I may judge their positions based on their...

    Wheat, Chaff and a burger (Matt.15)

    I agree it is tiresome. Make no mistake, I love my Christian brothers and sisters; those honest people sitting in the pews who do the very best they can to live out Yeshua's instructions. Somehow I think The Messiah felt the same way, even as He had to deal with this issue in his day...

    Wheat, Chaff and a burger (Matt.15)

    While out for my daily walk today, I passed a wheat field that had just been harvested. I gleaned one corner of the field, obtaining a single stalk of fully ripened grain. As I walked along, I removed the head of grain and began winnowing the wheat from the chaff with my unwashed fingers...

    The Wonderful Incredible Christian Woman!

    Your post reminded me of one of the most beautiful First Testament passages: Proverbs 31:10-31 Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She...

    For the Father loves the Son.

    I'm not sure this can be reduced to a single event. It clearly covers human human history (the four beasts) including the end of days. IMHO this is human history, start to finish but others may disagree.

    For the Father loves the Son.

    Daniel 7:13-14 13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language...
