Who is this speaking to and to whom and/or what does it refer? Matthew 25:1-13 (King James Version) 1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the w…

Fireproof was a great movie starring Kurt Cameron and Erin Bethea which made me cry openly. Kurt Cameron seeks to help believers who are struggling in their marriages become intimate again. It was one great movie! :clap:

This is just a small sample of mission boards and churches trying to get Independent Baptist Chaplains in the military. Why would Independent Baptists want to have chaplains in the military?

Urgent Prayer Request for a Man Whose Life is on the Line

Please pray for a member of our church named Bob Murphy. He has four sons around my age that are all serving the Lord. He and his family spent time in Romania as missionaries for several years and now he's a missionary to prisoners. Our little girls pray for him and know him as the missionary "to the naughty man in prison." I feel a particular burden for this situation. It was devastating for me to see my dad die when I was 25. When he died, so did all the dreams of him bouncing grandkids on his knees and Christmas and Thanksgiving homecomings. I don’t have a home to go to. I don't want to see Brother Murphy, who is a friend of mine die, and I don't want his sons to no…

Yesterday I heard the intervention (UN/US war) in Libya referred to as humanitarian aid ?! This isn't what I was referring to several months ago when I said the U.S. needed to limit foriegn aid to humanitarian efforts. Has the present U.S. government now redefined humanitarian aid? Has a ship launched missile, B52 bombs, and F15s replaced flour, milk, and rice? That's it! Every foriegn nation wants a missile in their breakfast bowl.

I always attempt to verify these “stories” before sharing them. I never heard anything about this incident but, my wife received an email about it. So I went looking for further verification. I found the information below. However, I wasn’t satisfied and began a search of local newspapers and law enforcement; which resulted in nothing to corroborate the story below. One puzzle piece bothers me; why is it on the NBC web site? Has anyone else seen this email with a long list of forwards?

A Foolish and Unconstitutional War By Patrick J. Buchanan Wednesday - March 23, 2011 "The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." So said constitutional scholar and Senator Barack Obama in December 2007 -- the same man who, this weekend, ordered U.S. air and missile strikes on Libya without any authorization from Congress. Obama did win the support of Gabon in the Security Council, but failed with Germany. With a phone call to acquitted rapist Jacob Zuma, he got South Africa to sign on, but not Brazil, Russia, India or…

Moody is held in high regard and many Baptists love to quote him. However, in digging deeper into his ministry it seems that if he were around today many fundamentalists would speak out against him. Do you think the legacy of Moody has been positive or negative? Why?

Will God & the Saints have pleasure from lost souls suffering in the lake of fire forever? I might add, it was diffcult for me to word this.

OPEN REBUKE By Paul Proctor March 23, 2011 NewsWithViews.com The Emerging Church controversy has caught the attention of the mainstream media again and in a big way with the latest book from Rob Bell, entitled, “Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived” – a “universalist” view from a popular “Christian” author and pastor that has already drawn numerous objections from many evangelical leaders including several sharp commentaries from the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, R. Albert Mohler Jr. – the latest of which appeared in the Baptist Press, titled, “Rob Bell and the (re)emergence of liberal theology.” A…

We know from Scripture that Jesus was tempted in the wilderness. Scripture also tells us that Jesus was tempted in all points like we are. We also know from Scripture that Jesus never gave in to temptation, Jesus never sinned. Question: Could Jesus have sinned? Or, was it impossible that Jesus could give in to temptation and sin because He was not only man, but also fully God?

The great daylight saving scam This weekend’s clock ritual costs more than it saves By John Merline - The Washington Times 6:39 p.m., Thursday, March 10, 2011 Four years ago, Congress in its infinite wisdom extended daylight saving time (DST) by a month, with the goal of saving energy. Lots of energy. The bill’s champion, Rep. Edward J. Markey, Massachusetts Democrat, said it would save consumers a generous $4.4 billion over 15 years. Of course, Mr. Markey was just repeating what has long been an established truism among policymakers: Setting the clocks forward in the spring saves energy because people don’t have to turn their lights on as much as at night. …

New Bible draws critics of gender-neutral language

New Bible draws critics of gender-neutral language 14 mins ago NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In the old translation of the world's most popular Bible, John the Evangelist declares: "If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar." Make that "brother or sister" in a new translation that includes more gender-neutral language and is drawing criticism from some conservatives who argue the changes can alter the theological message. The 2011 translation of the New International Version Bible, or NIV, does not change pronouns referring to God, who remains "He" and "the Father." But it does aim to avoid using "he" or "him" as the default reference to an unspecified p…

Since having so many victories for their sexual preference agenda, homosexuals have grown quiet. The last we heard was Obama's Justice Department would no longer defend the law: Defense of Marriage Act. Recent major victories under Obama and the pro-liberal congress include the Hate Crimes Legislation and Repeal of DADT. Now they are quiet and with good reason, if there is no conversation then, there is no opposition. The press and TV media are quiet, you hear nothing about homosexuals and their agenda. They are organized, they want you to forget the gains they've made. I assure you they are planning the next assault while awaiting the apathy to occur and their recent g…
