Here are several verses that illustrate God expects us to use free will and has created and ordered his creation to give us free will: Deuteronomy 30:19-20 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose...

Why was John asking people to repent if they were not free to do so? That is my point: this is a scripture that SHOWS we have free will. Before Jesus had died on the cross, he told people to go and sin no more. These were not people regenerated in the Holy spirit, for the spirit had not been...

I was reading my bible the other day when I thought of this thread. I was reading about how John the baptist was telling people to repent for the kingdom of God was near. Clearly, no one before Jesus could have been regenerated. Clearly they were all sinners and were being told to change their...

No pressure from me . . . I just tend to think in lyrics as a way of life, sometimes my wife and I turn our conversations in to songs and then annoy the kids by singing theater / opera style LOL

Loved reading this post, this message is still very relevant. I try to live this way, not charging money for songs, not being overly showy. But there is a boldness we get when we have a message to bring from God, and that can be perceived as being showy, but it does not concern us if we are...

I liked the video for it's depth of going into the topic. I try to keep a balanced perspective about CCM. It's a pointer towards Christ, and we never know how a particular song might help someone in a time of need. This world is a dark place, and sometimes a song can make all the difference for...

Thanks for the welcomes Magenta, Isny, and TabinRivCA. Looking forward to enjoying new conversations here . . .
