Does anyone know what this refers to please? Zech. 11:1-3 Zech 11:1 ¶ Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down. 3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.

“Human life begins in bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film. “An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception. It now appears to be clear that this verse, John 1:9, can have a two-fold meaning! Make sure to watch the video. I find this new discovery to be fascinating and thought you all would enjoy it too. Christ not only gives light through conscience, creation and himself but literally as well. http://www.twoedgedsword.org/christ-gives-light God Bless! Trent

(In another thread that is no longer a valid thread discussion, a comment was made which motivated me to do the following Bible study.) The New Testament Believer’s Relationship with the World (Part 1) 1. We are the spiritual light of the world; and we are to shine forth that light before the world, doing “all things without murmurings and disputings,” in order that we “may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,” in the midst of this spiritually crooked and perverse world, and in order that “they may see our good works, and glorify our Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16 – “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on …

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not been around as much anymore. I am just finishing up two degrees in school and my jobs hours increased on top of that. It is all I can do to get all my homework done each day. After keeping myself strictly celibate for the last 19 years out of personal conviction concerning the circumstances surrounding the dissolution of my last marriage (not open to discussion here, there is already a thread on that topic and you can probably infer my stance on the topic), I have courted and now proposed to Miss Laurel Ann Carpenter and she has said yes! My previous marriage vows were fulfilled with the death of my last wife due to cancer about…

Acts 14:8-10 8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: 9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. What is meant by "he had faith to be healed"? How did Paul perceive this man had faith to be healed? Is there any particular significance to the fact Paul spoke with a loud voice (Stand upright on thy feet.)? What application can we draw from this passage for today?

Went to see The Peanuts Movie with my family. We loved it! And I recommend it to all families that enjoy the 'art' of Charles Schulz. One of Charles Schulz' prized possessions . . . his worn out old Bible. Charles Schulz was a Christian and a Sunday school teacher, as well as a cartoonist and artist. He produced a few other books, besides his Peanuts books. Among my collection of cartoon books are three of his books titled - "Young Pillars" "Teenager Is Not a Disease" "What Was Bugging Ol' Pharoah?" His strips have encouraged and brought to life many Christian topics and situations. As a cartoonist m…

Was Simon the Sorcerer a Genuine Believer in Acts 8:13? (This thread has been started due to a request by another from another thread.) Acts 8:5-25 -- "Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city. But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Sama…

Arnel Carreon 6 hrs I find it rather amusingly confusing that the LGTB community would appeal and find their allies in the “naturalness” of homosexual behavior found among animals (1,500 species on their list) to justify their lifestyles, yet hate it with disgust to be compared with them. Doing so destroys their whole argument. I don’t get it. Granting that there are homosexual animals the way we have it in humans, but since when did this animal behavior became the standard if not a pattern of human morality? Why ally yourself with animal behavior, degrading yourself by…

Is it always wrong for a Christian Person who has been divorced to remarry? It seem that the teaching of the Lord Jesus in the gospels put a blanket ban on such a remarriage, but some say that Paul does not go so far. The situation is as follows A young Christian girl who was with us while she was at university met and married a young man who seemed to be a fine Christian, and they moved away. recently the husband laid with the wife's cousin while she was upstairs asleep. She found out about this but forgave him. Then later he and a female colleague (they were both in the police force) we involved in a difficult arrest, she perhaps even saved his …

So I was just reading about guitars in another thread and it got me thinking: Anyone know much about hammered dulcimers? Here's my story: Just before Christmas, an antique store in our nearby town of Susanville was closing, and in the window they had what looked like an older, possibly home-made hammered dulcimer. No damage to it, though the soundboard has a bit of a warp to it. It doesn't look like it will cause any problems, and sits well below the strings. Anyways, they were selling it for $56, and well, a low end new dulcimer will run you well over $400. So I figured, what the hey! and I bought it. It actually came with a discount since they were closing the…

Acording to Levitt.com, Jews have have viewed partial days as full days for centuries. It is not only Jews that do so, but we often do too. Example: you go to a car dealership Monday afternoon on your lunch break from work. You sign a contract to purchase a car for "x" amount of payments in the amount of "x" amount of dollars. Thursday morning, as you are getting in your car on your way to work, a neighbor sees the car and asks how long you have had it. "Three days, I just bought it Monday." Three days? But you bought it after noon on Monday, not in the morning. Seventy-two hours had not passed. My chart s…

Perhaps this short article could help start a discussion of just how we, as good Christians, should vote. HOW SHOULD WE VOTE? By Jake MacAulay March 16, 2016 NewsWithViews.com What should we do now that the elections are approaching? How should we act? What should we know? What should we ask? What are we looking for? And finally, knowing what we know (and don’t know), how should we then vote? Whether we’re talking about Dog Catcher, city or County Council, State House, or our national government, it seems to me that, just like the Marines, we are looking for a “few good men.” Let’s start with the word “good.” …

WARNING THE WICKED IS LOVE By Coach Dave Daubenmire March 31, 2016 NewsWithViews.com As regular readers know we spend much of our time ministering out on the streets. This enables us to see an entirely different world than the average church-goer. For most Christians their faith is lived inside the four walls of the church or trapped within the four chambers of their heart. Christianity has devolved into a “personal” experience rather than a world-changing power. Our churches have been such a cataclysmic failure in their job of pushing back the darkness. Instead of being the “salt of the earth” the exact opposite has happened…the world has become th…

In Defense of a Wednesday Crucifixion Dr. L. K. Landis I am a Baptist! I have always been a Baptist! I haven't always been a saved Baptist, but from infancy the only kind of church I have attended or been a member of has been a Baptist church. I was born into a Baptist home, my mother the daughter of a Baptist preacher. That makes my grandfather a Baptist preacher. I was saved in a Baptist church. I was called to preach during a Baptist meeting I went to college at a Baptist (?) school. I married a Baptist girl from Oklahoma. My children are both Baptists. My son's wife is the daughter of a Baptist preacher. I have pastored three churches and all have been …

In early 2000, we moved to a smaller place in Indiana. So we had to put some of our stuff in storage - books and dishes, to be specific. When we first moved in, the plan was to only live there for about a year. As with many of man's plans, that didn't work out. So a majority of our books remained in storage. Of course, we acquired more as time went on. Then the move here took place. While packing, we repacked our books - it was like revisiting old friends. But here we are living with my mom for the time being (no idea of what that time being will consist), so our books were once again in storage in the garage. However.... Since I'm homeschooling my niece…

...growing a garden this year? We have not been able to plant a garden for years, but this year we are going to. My Dad had a garden that was a good size, as well as fruit trees. The garden hasn't been planted since 2011. The trees have produced, but we are hoping they'll produce even better this year. Tomatoes don't grow really well here unless it's an unusually hot summer. My Dad fixed up a hot house for tomatoes and peppers. I don't know for sure what all we'll plant, but I'm pretty excited about it. Fresh veggies!

Alright...I've kept my mouth shut about this for too long...but I can't take it anymore. You know how when you click to "Sign in" to Online Baptist? I click it, AND THEN I have to move my mouse cursor ALL the way over a couple of inches to the Name space and click there just so the cursor will show up so I can sign in. It's ludicrous. The cursor should already be there waiting for me.

Thankfully the pastors I know NEVER STOPPED preaching the gospel. Remember, TGL, they're to preach the whole counsel of God, not just salvation messages. And just to be clear, preaching messages that promote conservative, Biblical values is imperative. Maybe one should let the Holy Spirit guide in what these pastors preach, eh? -
By TheGloryLand · Posted
Excellent it’s over, I noticed that many pastors were disturbed, with the elections this year, more than ever before, and they were preaching to reinforcing being a conservative, it was a priority for many preachers, but now that is all over, preaching the gospel for salvation should take its place. Thanks 🙏 You -
By MikeWatson1 · Posted
Well, I agree with knowing you are a sinner before salvation and by free will, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. So that's not really calvinism. -

Before conversion, we turn away from the sin of Adam, that’s is still in us to we die. The flesh, for it is weak in need of a Savior, not by works, but by faith we are Saved.
