    Just a question I've pondered. How can a church with anywhere from 500 to 1,000 members possible be shepherded by even 2 pastors?

    Isn't it a beautiful gesture? We tried to pay him but he would not accept anything. Now this is what true works, Christmas time and agape love is all about.

    Now this act from a neighbor in my neighborhood is what I call "good works." He has taken a backhoe and scraped about a foot of snow, which fell in the last couple of days, for free too, from people's driveways. Would not accept any money nor gas. Said it was his pleasure to be able to do so.

    Does church mean a lot to you?

    What is the real church? Believers in Christ? Churches on earth is where the Church of Christ gather, fellowship, serve. Being totally honest, as I've mentioned on other threads, the earthy churches for me have lost their "flavor" but then again that could be my fault as much as theirs.

    Are religious traditions and denominational doctrines pushing people further away from God's presence?

    Secularism is the meanie IMHO. It has creeped into our earthly churches subtly over time. Having said that, there are many dedicated, Christ-loving, steadfast workers in the earthly churches and they should not be overlooked. There are many devoted, Christ-loving, giving pastors, leaders in...

    Trump Responds To Pope Saying He's 'Not Christian'

    I'm a Trump supporter and I believe firmly that at this time in our country that God has placed Trump where he is. Trump is no politician, no smooth talking gent, doesn't care about the Old Guard, doesn't care about impressing anyone. He doesn't need anyone's money and so he can be free of...

    Absolutely. Service, working for the Lord is what is in our hearts and on our minds after salvation. We work not for that free gift but we work because of it.

    A person who commits their soul to the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their savior, they are saved. As for all of God's Word, that is where I get my comfort from; knowing I'm saved. The Pharisees believed in their traditions, works, etc and perhaps they believed they would go to heaven...

    I believe the Word of God which tells me nothing can separate me from Him. Once saved, always saved. If there are many who claim Him yet do not know Him, they were never saved to begin with.

    Trump Responds To Pope Saying He's 'Not Christian'

    Whether or not Trump said it about the Pope or the Pope said it about Trump (referring to the OP), we cannot decide who is a Christian or not. Only God knows. Now having said that, I personally do not believe in the Catholic church.

    Unholy and Unclean Alliance's of Democratic Party

    I appreciate and accept your apology. It is always good to be able to agree to disagree. IMHO it is terrible whenever people and sometimes even families fall away from each other over differences of opinons. I wouldn't call people ignorant because they support Trump. People are sick and...
