Oh, you thought this was about Bad Bunny? Nope, this is about the Turning Point USA Alternative Half-time show headlining Kid Rock. Here’s some lyrics from one of his songs: “On my cellphone I’m paid, G, can’t call me, just page me,” he sings. “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage...

There's a whole book here I am sure. I was prompted to examine the account of the Lord's dealing with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15. Here's the passage: 21Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region...

Any celebration about the advent of our Lord and Savior in the earth should pivot on the fact that without God's love for the people of the world His Son would not have been sent. Without the love for people, the baby is never born and the Son is never given. We cannot add to God's majesty by...

I hope this thread becomes a discussion about the Trinity. These are just some of my observations followed by questions. 1. The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit are God. Question: Is this the core belief of the Trinity? Something else? Assuming it is not appropriate to call them "Gods" is...

You will not find "non-believer" in the scriptures. There is only "unbeliever". The distinction is: belief is a standard of behavior NOT simply a thought in the mind. All men know God is but, because of tradition, rebellion, carnality, etc. most men live as unbelievers... not living as if God is...

I was thinking about those who are sent of the Lord and of those who are set of the Lord. The following passage came to mind: Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many...

"You sit over there and someone will speak to you shortly." The typical church experience is very much like our experience in a physician's waiting room. We go to the building where we are to obtain service then wait patiently in our seats until the expert arrives. After the expert talks we...

Corinth was a large city in Greece. In the first century, perhaps 200,000 people lived there. When Paul wrote his first letter to the church in Corinth some scholars estimate that there were around 150 ekklesia at that time. In his first letter to the Corinthian Church Paul wrote the...

I believe Christ and the Bible are the most powerful force of good in human history. I am trying to ascertain what the Christian Chat members think about the statement. Yes/No/Something else?

As a shadow of things to come, Ezekiel 7 begins like this: "Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “And you, son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: ‘An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land." Note that this is written to God's people: "..the...

Harmeet Dhillon, a Sikh, offered prayers to her demon god Vaheguru. One notable line: "..we thank you (Vaheguru) for creating America as a unique haven on this earth where all people are free to worship according to their faith" Ms. Dhillon also thanked Vaheguru for the "Chardi Kala Spirit"...

Fellowship (Greek = koinonia) is typically a noun. Only once is it used as a verb and then only in a phrase. The church often uses the word as a verb. “I will fellowship with him” or “Let’s get together and fellowship”. Once, because he thought that it was the way to start meaningful speeches...

Just for clarity: a harlot sits opposed to the wife of a man. She is a prostitute. She offers some of the benefits of the wife (mostly in sexual favors) but none of the enduring substance of a marriage covenant. The Great Harlot is mentioned in Revelation chapter 17. She is shown to be "drunk...

John Lindell, lead pastor of James River Church in Springfield, MO, hosted the event. Mark Driscoll seized the opportunity to insert himself into the conversation by calling out the sin. This is on brand for someone who likes the stage light. Driscoll has a history with the Mars Hill church...

The gap between God and man widened following the fall and with the passing of long centuries, the task of restoring man to the original intent of God became formidable. God destined the human race to come from the first man and woman He created. Consequently, the generations of man inherited...

The text we’ll examine is Ephesians 5:21-23 "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ...

Paul actually wrote about this in his first letter to the church in Corinth: “And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”...

The attending verses are below. I’ll present them in their entirety and then break them down. 21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the...

As some of you know, I spent over 20 years in the behavioral health field. Over that time I got to know a lot of people who were addicted to drugs. When I was young, I thought “why is it so difficult to stop doing the drug that is destroying your life? “ What I didn’t understand was that their...

Galatians, Ephesians, and Hebrews in the New Testament unequivocally teach that the law makes you a slave, the law was what men received as a result of disobedience, refusal to come into the presence of God; they ended up under the law. But there are those who would say, “Well I have a lot of...
