2 Cor 1:3-4 3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. KJV James 1:2-4 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. KJV Rom 5:1-5 5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access …

The topic question is somewhat vague, I know, but I wonder of the layity has a right to admonish a preacher even when he is wrong? Where do we draw the line? If we pack up and leave because of decisions that are made, and out of our "field" then we are ostrcized for being critical or haed to get along with. many decision affect the direction of the entire church body, and therefore they are our business, but to go to the preacher to "straighten him out"? Let's have some thoughts on this.

Jonesboro Church Wars, Encyclopedia of Arkansas History In the 1930 two fractions of Baptist had much trouble, & it seemed to have turned into war. Never heard of such. I come across this this evening after getting back from visiting a sick woman in the hospital at hot Spring, about 70 or so miles from my home.

Faith and Finance Peace With or Without Prosperity, by Melissa Schworer It was an honor to be asked to review this book, I found it to be a great and easy read, not simplistic but easy to follow and understand the message of the book. What a breath of fresh air to find a book on "prosperity" tied to true Biblical principles and what God expects of us and then how we may be blessed by Him for following His principles. I highly recommend this book to every Christian and especially our youth preparing to enter life and marriage.

Hi everyone, I thought I'd let everyone know that the paperback is now available at www.truthandsong.com/store . It should be available on Amazon later this week. It is published by Daystar Publishing (Sam Gipp's company) and should be up on their site in a couple of weeks. Most Christians think you can lose your salvation, and many Baptists still struggle with assurance. This book is written in a very pratical, loving, simple, and educational way to help just about any Christian. The truth of eternal security dovetails with so many other New Testament doctrines that I believe this is a book that can help any Christian. After all, without assurance of salvation how…

The New Blacklist By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - February 17, 2012 My days as a political analyst at MSNBC have come to an end. After 10 enjoyable years, I am departing, after an incessant clamor from the left that to permit me continued access to the microphones of MSNBC would be an outrage against decency, and dangerous. The calls for my firing began almost immediately with the Oct. 18 publication of "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" A group called Color of Change, whose mission statement says that it "exists to strengthen Black America's political voice," claimed that my book espouses a "white supremacist ideology." Color of Change took p…

So I'm working hard to become about 25% less of the man I am today. I'm a fatty fat fatso! My work involves sitting on my butt all day and munching on Doritos! So, I've cut back a ton on the snackage and I exercise now. I've lost about 20 pounds. I've heard that the sauna and steam room can work to help lose weight as well, especially if you don't sweat a lot when you exercise (like me). My question is this: which is better for this purpose? Steam room or sauna?

Bro Matt if this is inappropriate please remove it. The Lord has opened up several doors for us in the last week that are very exciting. We have been praying for a printer that could print our tracts at a fraction of the cost and we have found two. One is in the States and another in The Philippines. We can now get 10,000 14 pt tracts for $180 including shipping in the States and 10,000 for $220 in The Philippines. While the price is higher in the Philippines it is actually a better deal because that is the price we are paying now and we won't need to ship them there which will save money on shipping. The Brother in the Philippines has also agreed to ship for us to count…

Looking Down On Others Its not looking down on others when a person takes a stand on their beliefs. This saying is an attack the more liberal have use against the more conservatives that takes a strong stand on what they believe. I offer my congratulations to the more liberals, for when they start this attack, your looking down on us, against the more conservatives, it generally gets the topic locked down quite quickly. That is the more liberal starts the attack, yet the blame for personal attacks is pinned on the more conservatives. Yet I expect it, for the Bible tells me the world will not like My ways.

I ran across this quote today: "… assuming one has the basics for survival, food and shelter, then one can make a good even happy life at any level of income. There may even be a feeling of relief to be forced to switch from managing and warehousing things to a more Spartan life but one that is richer intellectually and spiritually. The best things in life remain free. Poverty of the wallet is nothing compared to the poverty of spirit." It brought to mind questions that have been on my mind for years Why do today's Christians need so much? Is poverty necessarily a bad thing? If poverty is not a bad thing why do so many shun it at the expense of their Christian co…

School “lunch inspector” replaces child’s healthy lunch with “nuggets,” bills mother by Joel McDurmon on Feb 15, 2012 They have a “lunch inspector,” but they’re a few fries short of a happy meal. A North Carolina mother was perturbed when she learned that the healthy lunch she packed for her 4-year old was replaced by cafeteria food, most of which the child wouldn’t eat. Carolina Journal Online reports, A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious. The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. D…

Any of you that have a "smartphone" should download the Youversion bible app by lifechurch.tv from the android market. The best thing about this app is that you can listen to the bible. I used to have listen to the bible first by tape than by CD. The probelm with this was it was cubersome. The CD set had something like 30 discs in it. Not very user friendly. I highly recommend this. It's free and you'll be able to listen to the entire KJV off of your phone.

I am just an ignorant old country boy, but to me it seems the scientific hucksters are managing to get government money to work on another version of a perpetual motion machine. Is it possible to put X energy in and get X+ energy out? http://www.wnd.com/2012/02/scientists-aim-to-create-oil-using-photosynthesis/ "Perpetual motion describes hypothetical machines that operate or produce useful work indefinitely and, more generally, hypothetical machines that produce more work or energy than they consume, whether they might operate indefinitely or not. There is undisputed scientific consensus that perpetual motion in a closed system would violate the first law of therm…

To leave a reply at many sites on the internet they require you have a facebook account. I wonder if I can set up a dummy account just so I can leave comments on some of these websites...or, would that be against... Ephesians 4:25 "Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another." Some may ask why such an aversion to facebook? I don't know why, it just seems to me the Lord doesn't want me in it. No, I've never prayed about it.

My ex BIL was a militant IFB pastor for many years. He and my sister had five daughters, two sets of twins and a single birth, and he was strongly against divorced men in the pulpit or even serving in the church. To my mother and fathers face he was "respectful", but in actions in front of his eife and kids at home he was a Pharisee making himself out to be far better than he was. After my sister divorced him for extreme mental cruelty towards her and the girls, he started using the verse about letting the unbeliever depart. After a couple of years working at Lowes he started working with the youth of the church he was attending and remarried. He later became the youth pastor. A couple of years later he threw ALL of his beliefs out the window to justify becoming a pastor again. He now pastors a church in S. Georgia. He councils others concerning divorce and consistently tries to relieve himself of any responsibility in his own. Sad... very sad. -

Biblically, my hubs and I believe it is still wrong. As to a divorced man giving counseling, well - if he has learned from what brought about the divorce and has grown spiritually, I personally wouldn't have a problem with it. I don't think the Bible addresses it, either, so there's nothing we could say is unbiblical about it. Now, if the man is an unrepentant adulterer, then no way (and believe me, there are far too many unrepentant adulterers in pulpits and/or involved in ministries). -

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either.
