I was really glad I attended a Christian school, had a great grounding in the faith there that even the atheistic secondary school could not shake. I will pray that all goes well for your nephews and that the grounding they received in the Christian school will last for a lifetime. God Bless :)

Hello! I attended a Christian primary school then a non-Christian secondary school (because no Christian secondary was available). Sadly the secondary had a bad influence on my classmates, bullying was rampant there, one classmate later became an alcoholic, another jumped off a bridge. Also...

Welcome Salgado. A big hello from Scotland :)

Hello Oyster. I love this scripture that the bible gives three times: Joel 2:32 Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved Acts 2:21 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Amen, God Bless :)

Hello Canadian! Thanks for your reply. Marriage could indeed potentially be a relief to loneliness. And it could potentially lead to a 'Godly' family'. But I know married Christians who are lonely and whose children physically assaulted them. So I think the goal is whether married or...

Hello! I would put a slightly different perspective on this. Now to the unmarried and widows I say this: It is good for them to remain unmarried, as I am. (1 Corinthians 7:8) The unmarried man is concerned about the work of the Lord, how he can please the Lord. But the married man is...

Hello All! Just a minor aside. One of the developers of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a Christian who also lectures on Creation Science. I have heard him speak. God Bless :)

In the short term perhaps they are trying to judge which church to settle in? If someone does this in the long term however I think it can be an issue because there is a blessing to be had in commitment to a church. Blessings for you as you serve and grow. But also blessings to that church...

I agree! The bible gives an antidote to deception: Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you." (Matthew 24:4). Acts 17:11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures...

Hello Joe! Perhaps the most important thing is to be ready. To be faithful in encouraging others and meeting together with other believers. Blessed is the servant who is doing his Master's work when he returns (Luke 12:43). God Bless You :)

Hello! I hope you're having a good day. Perhaps there is a balance to be struck. The bible says that Jesus Kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36) and that our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20). Christians who get too deep into politics or mistake a country or party for God's...

Hello Bruce. I believe we have seen events that previous generations did not see. The return of the Jews to Israel is one, according to the prophet Zechariah the Lord is returning to Jerusalem and there and then when his feet stand on the Mount of Olives the Jews will mourn for the one they...

Being a Scottish voter myself I hope she is the winning candidate. She has been getting a fearful amount of flak from the Media because of her faith. On the other hand her rival, Humza Yusaf a Muslim is receiving minimal scrutiny from the Media. Seems that the world is very anti-Christian now...

A sign of the times. 2 Timothy 3:1 – There will be terrible times in the last days. But these times will not last forever:- Waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13). God Bless :)

Hello Cameron! Thank you for your interesting post containing ideas new to me! The one thing I would say is that the Old Covenant was not in operation for 4,000 years. Between Moses being given the Law on Mount Sinai and the Lord speaking through the prophet Jeremiah that the Covenant was...

Hello Cameron. Maybe things are moving so quickly now, the pace has increased, so much has happened. The Great Commission carries a sense of urgency 'Go into all the world and proclaim the good news!'. I.e go now, without delay. There was a good chunk of time before Abraham was called and...

The last 2,000 years have been years of huge growth and increase in the church, so many souls saved over so many generations! Reminds me of this scripture: After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language...

Hello Cameron. Good to meet you, thanks for the reply! Glad you found my post interesting. I didn't mean to imply that you didn't trust God, sorry if it came across like that :) There may be some questions we don't have an answer to this side of eternity, but we can say with Moses: He is the...

Just a friendly aside, some commentators linked the six days of creation to the six thousand years of human history. God rested on the seventh day and the seventh thousand years- the millennium. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's perhaps an interesting thought. God Bless You :)

Amen! What an encouraging testimony. My Aunt was saved by a street preacher who passed her a gospel tract. She didn't read it until later, they never met again and the preacher didn't know she had been saved. Probably a lot of believers won't know the full good they have done for others...
