I love it when I find something ironic in the Bible about an enemy of God. Some things are overt, and some things you only see the irony or humour after you think about it for a bit. For example, God striking the Philistines with hemorrhoids was hilarious. He could have killed them, but He didn't. Worse part afterwards was that they then made golden hemorrhoids to worship. Ugh! Or the Pharaoh when he replied to Moses and said remove the frogs tomorrow. What? You want one more night with the frogs because you are so stubborn? Yowza! This was interesting today though. Just reading stuff on the life of David and I thought that what Goliath said here was ironic…

I started this topic mostly to ask @Jerry if the floods in BC are affecting him or his church at all. Figured it could work for any other disaster/weather-ish things people want to share.

When needed, I have no problem contending for the faith, debating doctrines and understanding of Scripture passages, but sometimes I just want to discuss something Biblical, but not controversial - to see where others stand or perhaps see if I can learn more about something through them and their understanding of the Bible. I read recently in a commentary that there were seven famines in the Bible. It stuck with me because of the number - God's number of perfection, completion. So I wondered if that statement measured up but I didn't have the time to check it out then. Thought I would put it out there. This is based on my faulty memory and just what comes to mind as …

This past year Vivian and I have had two family members and four friends take their own lives. With the Coronavirus, the lockdowns, many churches not having "in person" services, and being away from their jobs and friends, people often forget that they are worth something in the eyes of God. Most will probably say "Send them to a church," or "have a pastor call on them," which is definitely great advice, but many times there isn't enough time and the need is immediate. With all of this said, I want to post this number. I've had several friends whose lives have been saved because it was given to them or was posted in a prominent place. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! …

This is an interesting article about how Creation Science Ministries fall short of teaching and preaching the whole counsel of God's Word, how they are typically ecumenical, don't separate from error and false teachers. I thought it was worth passing on. Elsewhere on these boards, it was pointed out that ICR, though it uses the KJV in some articles (such as Days of Praise), they are often guilty of questioning and correcting it - something to be aware of.

Is anyone familiar with this author's theology? He has written various books on Israel and the endtimes and has appeared on various shows through the years. His first Christian fiction series has five books: The Last Jihad, The Last Days, The Ezekiel Option, plus two more. It basically deals with a Washington wheeler and dealer who is a close friend with the US President. The first book starts off with an assassination attempt on the president, then the main character gets caught up in events trying to broker peace with middle eastern countries and Israel. I remember him not being saved at the beginning and eventually coming to the Lord during these events. The third book…

Considering I Tim 2:12 and I Cor 14:35; Should a woman teach a women SS Class? I Tim 2:12..."But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor usurp authority over the man, but to be silence." I Cor 14:35..."And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."

Answer: According to custom and tradition, white signifies purity and innocence; red, hardiness and valor; and blue signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice. White-Christ is purity, Red- He shed his blood for us, and Blue- He is the Just One.

2 Kings 13:14-19 Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands. And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in …

It must be very hard for a preacher after many years training members how to seek and serve God to see these members just walk out, from the church membership, for no good reason. Humans are always looking for the perfect church. Even if they know they’ll never find one because the church is full of repentant sinners, and the perfect church will be when Christ come back. But this still keeps happening everywhere. I don’t know what’s wrong with our pastor he seems not to be the same anymore. Just saying, Can you please tell me when you find the perfect church thanks.

As many churches are changing today so are the pulpit they preach on. The old classic wood pulp has always look much better than the new clear see through plastic pulpits. Which one do you prefer?

My wife got gas on Friday night @ $2.96 a gallon. She said that gas this morning was $3.19 a gallon at the Pilot station, and $3.22 at the Thorntons! Kroger Fuel had it at $3.18...Our gas expense every week has gone from $70 to over $125...Thank you, Mr. Biden! That's just for the one vehicle. My pickup truck takes 5 gallon more than our Explorer...We could easily spend over $150 a week on gas. How much is gas where you are???

I love the Autumn. Though it is the worst season for my Meniere's disease, I love the changing of the leaves here in the mountains of Tennessee. My wife and I used to drive down 41A every year from Murfreesboro to Chattanooga and take pictures of the vibrant colors. It was so beautiful. We haven't done it for several years now because my wife usually only has Sunday off, and we are in church that day. We also have several other things we have to do, ie, going to the dump, post office and grocery store. Then there is laundry to do, dinner to make and dishes to wash, dry and put away. What is YOUR favorite time of year? Why?

Remembered the tv program highway to heaven, I wonder if any lost soul came to Christ watching it. They spoke of love, angels, and God. Not normal for a tv program today.

I know this is a big problem in society today that people after having surgery are getting addicted to Opioids. This can happen to anyone even preachers. So be safe out there and seek help if this applies to you, you are not alone.

Our church is currently working through Psalm 119 as our Bible study on Wednesday evenings. Psalm 119:44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. It pays to look up every word! I work my way through each word in the verse, checking the Hebrew words to see what they mean. In English we use the phrase "forever and ever" to just mean ongoing, to just emphasize that we mean "always." So, I went to look up the first "ever" and assumed they would both be the same Hebrew word. They weren't. ever = H5769 "olam" properly, concealed; that is, the vanishing point ever = H5703 "ad" (as in ad infinitum) properly a (peremptory) terminus; that is (by im…

I was working on my Bible study lesson, and saw a lot in it today. I first go through the passage, this week it is Psalm 119:105-112 with the heading NUN, and define words, then I read the corresponding chapter from Spurgeon's The Golden Alphabet. After that I work through the workbook lesson. All three usually bring things to mind that I can interconnect. In relation to verse 105, which states, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Spurgeon explains, "Having no fixed lamps in eastern towns, in old time each passenger carried a lantern with him, that he might not fall into the open sewer, or stumble over the heaps of ordure which defiled…

My niece sent me a text yesterday telling me that my father had asked for her pastor to come out to the house to talk to him about eternity. He admitted that he was a sinner and needed the Lord, and he asked the Lord to save him. Praise the Lord for answered prayers. -

Yes, I have a pastor friend in the Independence, MO area that spoke against this often. I've got an aunt and uncle in O'Fallon, MO who could be on either side of the issue. -
The country seems to be going in a positive direction, sadly in Missouri we allowed amendment three to be passed.

I complete agree brother, we younger people are taught as you said that we are the descendants of primates, we are then taught that as you’ve mentioned about the new view of the Bible, that our religion is wrong and backward, a very sad thing in todays education. I hear it even from teachers and peers who would profess to be Christians.

It's strange how the Bible was held in such high esteem then, but that after this trial, not so very far from where I live today, the Bible is no longer welcomed into the classroom, and we are now considered to be the proginy of monkeys. It's so very sad.
