Hello Eli. I don't believe a discussion on salvation is pointless. I hope too that young people find salvation in Jesus Christ, many young people are coming to faith, saving themselves from a wicked generation (Acts 2:40). But belief in a 'higher power' is nowhere close to believing the...

Perhaps it's a sifting in these last of the last days. Those who are born from above will not fall away, there's nothing worthwhile to fall away into. They'll stand firm for the truth until the Lord returns, which isn't far away. As David said: Better is one day in your courts than a...

Hello Eli. A 'higher power' - , I don't think that's a saving faith, the Book of James says: You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! (James 2:19). What it means that much of Gen Z are turning from the truth to counterfeits and false gospels. God...

I agree. The return of the Jews to Israel after 2,000 years in fulfillment of biblical prophecy was a huge sign. The bible says that Jesus will return to Jerusalem and that there will be Jews there to meet him, indeed they will 'mourn for the one they have pierced' (Zechariah 12:10). This...

Me too, I have several in the garden. They're the most friendly, beautiful little birds. I took a few nice pics of them but unfortunately the files were too large to use as an avatar, God Bless You :)

Hello and a big welcome to the forums! :)

Hello! John 3:16 tells us that the whosoever may come to the Lord, the invitation is open to everyone, anyone. The only people who are excluded from salvation are those who refuse it. God is not willing that any should perish. What else to do with an unrepentant sinner? If an unrepentant...

Hello Cameron! That is indeed difficult to understand then. When someone finds the Kingdom of God they're all in: Matthew 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and...

It could be what you have suggested, it could also be that a believer does not have an assembly nearby that they could be regularly part of. Or perhaps a past bad experience has caused that person to back off for a season, it could be any number of reasons. But there is definitely a great...

Hello, welcome. UK here too (Scotland) :)

Welcome Joanjet. Scotland here. I'm sure you'll soon find your way around. One way to start could be to post something on a discussion that interests you. You'll soon begin to interact with others here. God Bless :)

Welcome to the forum! One advantage talking with a believer has over AI is that the believer can also hear from God, little gems that an AI cannot get. I hope you have many fruitful discussions here. God Bless :)

I agree. The state should be protecting the vulnerable, the needy, the desperate, the poor. Allowing gambling is morally indefensible IMHO. It is also something the church should be speaking up against. God Bless :)

Hi Angel. All the best. Praying that the Lord opens the door there for you! God Bless :)

Hello! One interesting fact about Donald Trump is his Scottish connection and his mother's connection to the 'Lewis Revival' of the 1950s. Here's an article about it: Donald Trump’s Connection to the Hebrides Revival | National Day of Prayer of Wyoming and the Mountain States (wordpress.com)...

Hello Lynx. That's an interesting point. It's possible many families are living well beyond their means. Many expect to be a two car household, with a giant TV and entertainment subscription, the latest smartphones, two dogs, a cat and a gerbil, whether they can afford it all or not. There...

In my experience there are often a number of people on the periphery of the church or perhaps even regular attenders, coming along for one reason or another, company or to oblige spouses/ relatives, who are not saved. Some may even have found their way into some sort of role in the church. A...

Covid was a giant breach in continuity for many ministries. In our church there were two which were really struggling when we tried to bring them back physically. A clubs for adults with special needs/disabilities and a midweek lunch club. There were many people interested in coming along to...
