My Mission Field My wife and son and I moved into our home in a small town in 1978. We have seen many families come and move on since then. I noticed a post by a girl on face book that was done by one of my former neighbors. She was indicating her appreciation for Jesus who saved her by grace. Many years ago we took her to bible school where she accepted Jesus into her heart. This caused me to think about the many people we have affected in our lifetime. Our neighbor became my wife’s best friend. Our families ate together and played rook for 20 years. During that time we took the neighbors daughter to bible school where she also got saved. When she got home she ta…

Looking for suggestions as to how to handle family bdays, cookouts, etc. on Sundays? Most of my family members and friends go to more liberal churches where there is no sun eve or wed service. We go to all services and are looked at as legalistic or unloving if we do not skip services to attend other family events. I don't do this in a mean spirit, my family and I are committed to serving The Lord who saved us and worshiping as a church family. Am I wrong in this? Or unloving? Should we be more flexible?

This thread discussion is an attempt to have a forum "Bible study" concerning that which the Lord our God desires and requires to be a godly husband. The following question is the primary topic for this "Bible study" discussion: According to God's Word, what all does the the Lord our God desire and require of the husband that he might be a godly husband in his relationship with his wife? Now, since this is intended to be a "Bible study" discussion, I would request that Biblical support be provided with each answer that is given. I pray that this "Bible study" discussion will truly move us as husbands to pursue that which the Lord our God Himself desire and…

When I was young, my wife and I went to a counselor once a month over a few years. He helped us to communicate. You see men and women don't speak the same language. It was then that I learned about kicking the dog. You see, when your wife or your boss bites your head off and you don’t know why, you may be the dog. Being the dog is not fun, but it is a back handed complement. You ask how can it be a complement? You see, the person doing the kicking considers you a safe target, when they can’t kick the person or thing that has caused most of the pain. If you can control your feelings while being kicked and ask questions about your wife’s feelings you ma…

Young Ladies For the young ladies meeting. (A brief benediction) Girls, these are evil days we live in; there are a lot of people out there that will destroy you if you let them. You are approaching the time of life when decisions are crucial, and will make some decisions that can affect your entire lives. To make a wrong decision will bring pain and misery for many, many years to come. By now, most adults here can remember a decision that they would rather forget; they did something perhaps that cannot be undone; they have to live with those decisions. We hope to spare you much heartache, much anxiety, and maybe even mental anguish with this les…

I belong to a Christian dating site. I REALLY hate it but how else will you meet someone these days. At church I think everyone is married (with exception of a very few). Plus it's a small church. Anyway, as I look through the endless profiles of professing Christians I can't help but notice a great deal of hypocrisy. There are many who say they are Baptist (or other conservative denominations) and have that they drink and/or smoke. Some even pose with their shirt off. It bothers me when I read this nor am I impressed by such behavior. Not that I expect everyone to live as I do, but I do believe that this man should have higher standards then the average person. Am I…

There is an issue that recently happened in my church that has left me feeling disappointed in the leadership. I will try to make this as brief as possible. A senior, widow lady, and a senior, widower man, both in their 80s, recently got married at my church (independent Baptist) I later learned they did not obtain a state issued marriage license and the pastor that conducted the ceremony did not require it. Now they are going around representing themselves as "married". I feel as though the pastor that conducted the ceremony is helping the couple defraud the government. And if he can preform a "commitment-marriage" ceremony for them why can't another couple, who …

I know this isn't the best category where my topic should be, but couldn't figure out where else to put it. As I posted in one of my previous topics, I need prayers because I have doubts about God, and I also noted that I have problems at school. In my opinion, this isn't a problem that should be taken lightly, so I want some counsel from you. We all know that the Lord Jesus Christ was greatly persecuted in His days, and also His disciples saw a great persecution. He forewarned us of that. We also know that throughout the centuries there were faithful disciples who were persecuted and put to death many times, and they still endured and were content in the Lord. I …

My 5 year old son wanted a mohawk. My wife and I are not lovers of the hairstyle. We have 2 girls and 2 boys. While they are living at home, we are rearing the girls to have long hair and the boys short hair. The mohawk is definately short. We wanted to say no, but didn't. Why didn't we? Our children are very good at hearing the word "no" and obeying with very little whining. The problem is, we say "no" alot. Just going to Wal-mart, our children see alot of the "world" and we have to frequently say "no" and usually give an explaination. So when it came to the mohawk, we didn't just blurt out a "no" because I wanted a Biblical explanation as to why I was saying n…

Hello I am wondering something for awhile now and I would like to know a few things. First In the past we had problems with my one sister and her three children not respecting us, while we were stating things Biblically to them about how they were growing up they lashed out. Anyhow when it comes to Christmas time they are very nice , they are talked into by my mom to get us gifts and exchange and be polite but, when the holidays are gone they hardly talk to us especially facebook. When we go to visit my parents area , my one sister with three kids will not come around I understand that she works alot that is fine but, when I ask she calls my mom and complains. This p…

Hello. I'm a first time mom and I have an 11-month old son. I want to start him early with Bible reading, but I don't know when to begin. I don't think that he will be able to understand (or even focus his attention) for long enough to read anything to him. We have a few books that have Bible stories in them... should I just start there? I have a friend who actually plays an audio Bible for their children while they are sleeping, but I'm not sure how effective that actually is. Does anyone have any suggestions on this?

Is there still a man like Boaz? *Boaz believed in God. "And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you.." (Ruth 2:4a) *Boaz had a good relationship with other people. "And they answered him, The LORD bless thee." (Ruth 2:4b) *Boaz was kind and helpful. "Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens: Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? And when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have dr…

Arming Yourself - Marriage/family Battle 1 2 3

The battle for God's institution of marriage and family was pointed out in another thread. So, we should be arming ourselves with God's word and understanding what they mean. I hope others here will add to this thread discussion about the scriptures below and other scriptures which support the God ordained relationship between men-women-children-family. Add other scriptures and point out the relevance to support the Christian position. We all know marriage-family as created by God is the image of our relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior. What is the scripture below telling us... Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let…

I have always heard that a daughter is under her father's authority until she gets married. (Let's assume she's not an old maid, ha ha) Does anyone have any verses they could offer for this? There is a boy whom is courting our daughter (she is at college long distance away) and her father and I feel the boy is encroaching into my husband's authority by expecting her to answer to him. He is quite controlling and it is scaring me and I'm not talking about minor stuff. They are NOT engaged.

I was voicing with someone about Christians needs to be discerning about what they watch, do and say and get into, She was commenting about a movie she seen today and I said it wasn't family approved. Then she said that she don't go unto 100 percent Christian message boards, websites and ETC to get info to avoid a movie or tv show or book because one cuss word, nudity and etc. I told her that we avoid these movies because we are to be discerning, I am wondering have you been told your a 100 percent Christian and have you of this term before?

A friend of the family recently came to us in need of some advice, help us help her out. Her daughter was recently raped by a young Baptist man and she became pregnant. Now this vile girl is threatening to charge this man. The worst part is she won't even consider marrying this man. Any advice I can pass on?

I just found this website today, April 19, 2024. Never heard of him. Can you relate any experiences you've had concerning him or his ministry? From the home page: https://kjvevangelist.com/ "Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ, We are, Jack and Barb Koons; Evangelists to America, and as the Letterhead states; “Promoting the King James Bible, and Refuting Calvinism, and Arminianism”. After researching the King James issue since about 1990, and having written a book on the subject named “What is So Special About the King James Bible?”; God has called me to teach churches why we believe the King James is the inspired, inerrant, and preserved Word of God, for English speaking people. I am available to teach anything from a single lesson, to an entire conference on the King James. My book could also be used as a textbook at any seminary, standing on the King James. Furthermore, seeing how Calvinism (“Reformed Theology”) has been taking over many churches, and growing in popularity, (because it appeals to the supposed “sovereignty” of God); I also teach why this is a NOT a Biblical doctrine. I have written a book titled, “The Biblical View of Salvation”, which is a series of 173 lessons, which covers the Doctrine of Salvation from a practical perspective, and also refutes Calvinism, and Arminianism. I am available to teach anything from the basic Gospel message, to detailed messages presented at a revival, or such type meetings. Please explore the menu on this sight to see how Barb and I can be a service to you. Because the Lord is still on the Throne, Jack Koons" -

- In the last nearly 7 months, there have been 2, major attacks, against the "jew", but we will call it Israel. OCT 7 was the first, and this is well documented, and now, a few days ago, you have Iran (Islam) attacking Israel in the middle of the night, as the devil loves the darkness....... Many many Ballistic , Cruise Missiles, and at least 200 Attack Drones were sent in by Islam (Iran) to try to kill Jewish citizens. Here are some photos, of a few of the Ballistic Missiles and a video. I wanted you to see the size of just ONE of the Ballistic Missiles so that you can get a real sense of just how much damage and death Islam was trying to again, inflict on the JEW., as they fired over 100 of these... and not just these. - - - - - -
Only "throw it out" if you are trying to offer it to God to be accepted by God. For example.. "God, i'll promise to stop sinning............will you save me now'"" ????? See that? "God says" = NO I WONT, as that is not my GRACE. and you are "saved by Grace", or you are not saved at all.
