    just a few words

    Amen oldman, a very timely piece of advice. The bible warns repeatedly of persecution and deception in the Last Days. We need one another for encouragement and for truth alignment. On forums such as this one believers can find some measure of support, if there is no believing fellowship in...

    Evolution theory vs God

    Modern science is driven by bias and peer pressure. If an academic isn't a proponent of evolution they'll find it more difficult to find a post, has the effect of shutting people up. Another example would be gender. I saw a university publication that recognizes 54 genders, even though...

    Cost Of Living

    I think it's a symptom of the Last Days, as the bible says: 2 Timothy 3:1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love...

    The Security Of The Believer

    There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love (1 John 4:18) :)

    The Security Of The Believer

    Talking of sheep we must not forget the Shepherd's part: Matthew 18: 12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is...

    I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’ I have chosen you and have not rejected you (Isaiah 41:9) God Bless You All :)

    A guy asked his wife what she would like for Christmas. The reply was: 'Nothing would make me happier than a diamond necklace, a gold engraved bracelet and a new sports car' 'Great! Nothing it is'. Happy Christmas to you All :)

    Out of tune with church music

    Hello Kitty. In the Baptist Church I attend there is a blend of songs and musical styles. It's a large church with a wide variety of people. Maybe one or two modern type songs for some, a traditional hymn for others, maybe something with a Celtic style, which would suit me (being into Celtic...

    Why does Santa go through the chimney? Because it soots him. What do you call a kid who doesn’t believe in Santa? A rebel without a Claus. How much did Santa's sleigh cost? It was on the house! Why was Santa's little helper so sad? He had low elf-esteem. What do you call Santa when he's...

    can you guys post something funny please?

    A teacher was giving a lesson on the Old Testament and asked one of her students, “Tommy, who knocked down the walls of Jericho?” Tommy answered, “Well, it wasn’t me. I was home all last night” Worried about this lack of Bible knowledge, the teacher called Tommy’s mother. His mother said...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Amen! We're saved by what God has done for us not by what we are expected to do. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will...

    The Security Of The Believer

    That's an interesting passage. The wolves in sheep's clothing were always wolves, they didn't morph from sheep. They were never saved. They were never going to produce good fruit because they would never be able to. God Bless You :)

    The Security Of The Believer

    Hello! As a former RC and Charismatic/Pentecostal I would say that is indeed the root of the difficulties for many of them, the false gospel of works. As soon as people are told that their Salvation does not depend on the finished work of Christ and that they can lose their salvation then...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Perhaps this passage has a bearing: 1 Corinthians 3: 11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, 13 their work will be shown for what it is, because...

    The Security Of The Believer

    It's not a given that they did anything good from that passage: Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from...

    The Security Of The Believer

    Hello Bible_Highlighter. Thanks for your reply. It's a long reply so it may take a while to get back to you. But briefly to let you know where I'm coming from. My family were Roman Catholics for many generations, they left via the Catholic Charismatic movement into a Charismatic Church, I...

    Agreed! The fruit itself does not save, it is produced as a result of Salvation. God Bless :)

    Evolution theory vs God

    Yes I agree. I have often been surprised to meet a 'Christian' who is vociferously in favour of evolution and upset when they find you are not, even though evolution is the opposite of Biblical Christianity on every level. IMHO it's a sign that we're in the last days and the anti-dote as you...
