    Deception in the church

    Hello jaybo! Thank you for your reply. I will further explain my comment for you. Regarding Evolution, the bible says that death is an enemy and that there was no death before Adam sinned, what God created was 'good'. Under evolution there would be death for millions of years before Adam...

    Rainy Day Funds

    Hello Billy. We have a Hardship Fund for those members (sadly many these days) who are financial difficulties. Any member can contribute as they are led to and those in need can receive support. God Bless You :)

    Deception in the church

    Hello Cameron! I think you hit the nail on the head. In the West we have a generation or two who have grown up with little or no Christian influence, no biblical foundation. Instead evolution, LGBT, Liberalism, influenced by their peers and crazy celebrities, social media not books. Talking...

    Deception in the church

    Hello Aslan. What you say I have experienced too. Many faithful Christians are older, younger believers can be more liberal than older saints. Quite often but not always. I am in a fairly large (by Scottish standards) church for a few years, there are some younger people, some students but...

    Deception in the church

    Yes I agree. A sign of the times. Just like the Bereans in Acts 17:11 I think these are the days we need to line everything up against the word of God. And if we can find a good bible believing church to support it, because it can be harder to take a stand alone. A retired pastor I know who...

    Ukraine the bad guy?

    Only The US Government could answer that. I would guess that they detected in Gorbachev a reasonable and humane man. Whereas in Putin the USA and many Eastern European Countries perhaps detect someone who is not reasonable or humane. God Bless You :)

    Ukraine the bad guy?

    Hello HeIsHere! One issue might be that the US cannot give that assurance. NATO has been expanding as many newly democratic Eastern European countries apply to join. The reason often given is that they feel threatened by Russia. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has prompted Finland and Sweden...

    SO MANY FALSE PASTORS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!

    Interesting topic! 2 Timothy chapters 3 & 4 talk about perilous times coming in the last days, the days we're living in. For example: For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of...

    Evangelicals the most unfavorable religion

    Hello Dude! Many of the questionable preachers seem to be genuinely popular with the world. For example I saw an interview between Oprah Winfrey and a preacher called 'Joel Olsteen', who is controversial among many Christians but whom I believe has one of the largest congregations in the USA...

    Evangelicals the most unfavorable religion

    Hello! I would say so, yes. Some brothers and sisters on the thread have posted and asked if it is something American Evangelicals are doing to generate hatred, politics or nationalism, speaking out on abortion or homosexuality. But this cannot be the underlying reason. Evangelical Christians...

    State sanctioned gambling

    Yes. The government in Britain have been passing laws to make accessing gambling easier for some years now. It's sad. I have known even Christians who had a serious gambling problem. This is definitely an issue the church should speak out on, speaking out against the prevalence of gambling...

    Only 4 Percent of Americans Hold a Biblical Worldview

    Praise the Lord for the 4%! In Scotland the situation may be even bleaker, it has been said 1.5% of people are attached to a bible believing church. But it always has been a narrow path and a small gate to life. Which makes fellowship with other believers even more precious. God Bless All :)

    Why Moses and Elijah were at the transfiguration.

    Good to meet you! From the book of Revelation, the description given does sound like Moses and Elijah: Revelation 11:6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth...
