It's amazing how many times "patience" (or better, perseverance") and "faith" are linked in God's word. Real faith perseveres. Faith will be tested. This is normal. God wants us to know (He knows already) if what we have is real faith or presumption. Faith endures, presumption quits.

Jesus lived as a Jew under the old covenant of Law. I don't know how you get Paul keeping the sabbath from Acts 17:1 & 2. Try reading all of the NT. Galatians and Colossians would be a good start. And what do you mean "keep" the sabbath? And why only the sabbath? There are 613 commandments...

I agree with you. I have Christian channels on cable, but most leave me cold. I look for people like Derek Prince on youtube instead. That's fine, but we also need to meet with other Christians. Until recently, that was a nearby Anglican church. We moved to a retirement village and there is a...

Ideally yes. But I can handle doctrine I don't agree with because I know the Bible fairly well. I can have fellowship with a local Anglican minister because he is full of life. I don't agree with baby sprinkling. However, I am given a warm welcome whenever I visit his church, unlike most other...

Welcome

It's a good question. If we seek a perfect church, we won't find it. At the same time, we need to know if false doctrine is being preached. I go to a church where there about 60 regulars. One of the leaders is alive and shines with Jesus. Another is worthy but dull and boring. And that is the...

After my marriage failed, my ex decided to disappear. I was especially torn because my son was 6 years old and I thought that he would suffer without me around. I grieved terribly. I complained to God. He said, "My Son died for you." Ah. Well. I'd best stop complaining. I knew the secret of...

Celery. Disgusting Vegemite is just fine. It's basically the same flavour as England's Marmite. This is true: when I was very young, I was suffering mild malnutrition because I refused to eat. In desperation, my mother tried a slice of bread with Marmite on it. I was hooked. For some time, she...

If you spread it as if it was axle grease, it will be hard for some people to take. I can eat teaspoonfuls at a time.

Russia tested one of its much vaunted nuke carrying rockets, presumably without a warhead. It exploded in the silo. Russia is unable to maintain its military due to a combination of corruption and sanctions. The situation will not remain indefinitely. I've said for years that America will...

You must try Vegemite then!

Truth is a rare commodity these days. Josef Goebbels would be jealous of the effectiveness of anti Israeli propaganda. Hitler based his hatred of Jews on lies that Germans all too readily believed. The video is of a conversation between Benjamin Netanyahu and Jordan Peterson. Mr Peterson could...

If and when you get it, make sure you spread it thinly. Americans don't know how to do this. They lay it down with a trowel. An American comedian said that Vegemite looks and tastes like axle grease. I want to know how he knows what axle grease tastes like.......

We are born with a sinful nature. We are also born spiritually dead in trespass and sin. (Ephesians 2:1) Total depravity? Depends on what is meant. The forbidden fruit is both good and evil. The problem is not, "is it good or bad?" The problem is "Is this God's will or not"? Sin means to miss...

True. Some inventors refuse to patent their products for that reason.

Furious or a bit lighter. Vegemite is essential, with a slice of cheese and some tomato optional. Any time of day is fine. Hot bread is not toast and I'm very good at carbonising toast. Even Vegemite does not help in that case.

Ooooooh. All vaccines are deadly. The first vaccinations were in 1798. EVERY ONE OF THE VACCINATED IS NOW DEAD!

That's not the point. It's probably OK. How do you copyright a knife design? But you don't want to find yourself in court or with a product that you can't sell. Or both.

I'm 73, have typical health issues for a man my age and undoubtedly would be rejected by Ukraine's military. Ukraine learned early on that some volunteers are worse than a man short. They were given weapons that they can't use and needed training that Ukraine is too busy to give. It's also...

He is correct. God promises that when He forgives, He forgets (Hebrews 10:17). The blood of Christ is so pure and clean that it removes sin as if it never happened. It is a great relief when we realise this. It's not a licence to sin, but guilt makes us weak and allows Satan to oppress us. Once...
