Merry Christmas to all. May God bless you and your family during this holiday season. May the song, especially the meaning of the words of, "O Come, O come, Emmanuel," be a blessing to you this holiday season. If any of the brethren have a favorite Christmas song (that is traditional in music, or classical in style, and not CCC), and would like to add it this thread please do so! Alan

Been a subject for discussion between some here and I wondered just how many here do like Scofield's Study Bible and it's notes where he teaches Dispensational doctrine.

Disciples of Christ Beliefs and Practices Explore the Beliefs of the Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) By Jack Zavada, About.com Contributing Writer The Disciples of Christ, also known as the Christian Church, has no creed and gives its congregations complete autonomy in their doctrine. As a result, beliefs vary widely from individual church to church, and even among members within a church. Disciples of Christ Beliefs Baptism - Baptism symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It signifies new birth, a cleansing from sin, the individual's response to God's grace, and acceptance into the faith community. Bible - Disciples of Christ con…

This is a "poll" but I don't know the proper way to do one. I just punched a 1/2" plug out of these two "Silver Eagles" and am ready to start forming them into rings. If you had one made, would you prefer the "United States of America 1 Oz Fine Silver......" on the outside, or "Liberty, In God We Trust", and your birth year? All words should be visible, but some will be on the "inside" of the ring. These two are for Christmas gifts and I am NOT trying to sell anything to any of y'all. Just would like some opinions. (sorry for the bad cellphone pics) Thanks

I don't know if everyone celebrates Thanksgiving, but it's good to always take the time to be thankful. What are you thankful for? I am thankful for our loving Heavenly Father, my Savior, God's precious Word, and His countless blessings on me: my wonderful husband, my talented son, the rest of my family, my dearest friends, my church family and my internet friends -- just the tip of the iceberg! I'm also especially thankful that hubby and I will be leaving tomorrow for a much needed weekend away at the family cabin for my birthday. So excited!

We are living in trouble times and the wacko's are loose. Once the gay movement moves into your home town, thing are going to change my friend, and if you are preaching against them, you will be at risk. Defend your self and the ones you love. You have the right."

Today I drove onto base to collect hubby from work and saw some people out running, but they were running backwards. I had drove on base a couple weeks ago on a very nice day to find 5-7 people running backward around the building. I find it amusing because hubby inadvertently started this. When he was working with recruits he would lead them in physical fitness training, trying to get them ready to pass the physical fitness test before shipping off to boot camp. Most of these kids are involved in no physical activity at all, except that of their thumbs (video games) So leading them in the 2 mile run was challenging. Hubby would hang back with the stragglers and freq…

Just made this one for my 2yo grand daughter's birthday. She will have to grow into it, but her eyes lit up when she saw it. She rode it a little, then got down and petted it. The bronco-buster in the photo is my 7yo grandson.

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.The research, conducted by the University of Minnesota, identifies a virulent strain of humans who are virtually immune to any form of verifiable knowledge, leaving scientists at a loss as to how to combat them.“These humans appear to have all the faculties necessary to receive and process information,” Davis Logsdon, one of the scientists who contributed to the study, said. “And yet, somehow, they have developed defenses that, for all intents and purposes, have rendered those f…

Yesterday 1st Nov was the warmest November day on record in some parts of UK. Not in this part though. It was cold with a heavy mist with fog in the evening. Today was much the same although a neighbour said the sun came out for a while at midday, I didn't see it though. One lady from church said it was very thick down in town but when she went home to Canterbury 9 miles away, it changed halfway as she went over a hill and was bright sunshine. the other side. Fog and mist is usual for November in this country, which prompted Thomas hood to write this poem. No sun - no moon! No morn - no noon - No dawn - no dusk - no proper time of…

Those interested in Bible prophecy must see this. It exposes the pretrib rapture for the fraud that it is. The bible is clear, the Day of the Lord is the 2nd coming/Rapture....and it all occurs after the tribulation (Matt 24:29). Pretribbers have no clear bible verses saying it happens before the tribulation. This lie has been made mainstream by the zionist funded commentary of CI Scoefield, which has also confused christians on who is the seed of Abraham. You will learn that wrath and tribulation are 2 different things. Christians aren't appointed to wrath, but throughout the bible we are appointed to tribulation. Open your mind, take off the blinding pretrib glasses and…

Spurgeon Morning and Evening October 16 — Morning {Daily Reading: #Mr 8:1-9:50 } {Quick Study: #Mr 14:1-16:20 } Jesus says to them, “Come and dine.” {#Joh 21:12 } In these words the believer is invited to a holy nearness to Jesus. “Come and dine,” implies the same table, the same food; indeed, and sometimes it means to sit side by side, and lean our head upon the Saviour’s bosom. It is being brought into the banqueting house, where the banner of redeeming love is waving. “Come and dine,” gives us a vision of union with Jesus, because the only food that we can feast upon when we dine with Jesus is himself. Oh, what union is this! It is a depth which reason cannot fath…

Ian, I understand you may become somewhat surprised, disappointed, even have some frustration for this thread. The thread is discussing the need for knowledge of grammar to understand our Bible. Our 1769 KJV AV was for the most part written in Modern English or Early Modern English. Some sentences are straight forward in our Bible. For others we must resort to helps and a careful analysis of structure and word usage. We depend on the Holy Spirit to assist us in understanding but, sometimes personally, I believe He tells me to use the helps He has already permitted man to accumulate. Other times, I believe God just makes us wait for understanding. For example, I have a W…

Okay, this poll is not anything that is doctrinal or anything too spiritual, but rather a preference. Churches traditionally have the Mid week service on either Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Which night would you prefer for the midweek service? Since Wednesday and Thursday's are the most popular, I will only include those in the poll.

You are partly correct. Modern pre tribulational teaching developed from Ribera's work. It didn't exist before. Not one of the "Primitive Writers" taught any such thing. However much you search, you will not find it. It did not begin to develop until after 1830. The "Primitive Writers" all taught that the book of revelation was regarding the Church, that the Temple was the Church, that the Jews represented Christians. The let and hindrance in 2 Thess 2 were the Emperor and the Empire.

103-year-old Georgia woman banned from her churchFor nearly a century, 103-year-old Genora Hamm Biggs has attended the Union Grove Baptist Church in Georgia -- even working as the church's secretary for some 40 years. But Biggs -- a parishioner since she was 11 years old -- was banned last month from attending after she disagreed with the church's pastor over his preaching style, Fox affiliate WAGA-TV reported. ADVERTISEMENT On Sunday, law enforcement was called to the small, white church in Elberton, Ga., after Biggs decided to attend service anyway, according to the station. Police said there was nothing they could do because the matter is a civil dispute between Biggs…

Jerusalem - The City Of The Great King Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. It’s the city of our Lord, where one day He will reign in majesty. Though we do not see it now, this future will soon come to be - So pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. When all things will be fulfilled, what glorious beauty will we behold; Let us go to the city of our God, which He has chosen from of old. We long to see your walls called salvation, and your gates called praise - Where the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour, will rule and reign always. A beautiful city not forsaken, where righteousness and truth abides; A city filled forever with God’s presence, where His glory continually resides. Jerusalem - peace flows like a river in this city of rejoicing; All my springs are in you, oh Zion, the city of the Great King! October 20, 2024 Jerry Bouey There are so many promises in the Scriptures about Jerusalem, the city of God, and how it will be transformed during the Lord Jesus Christ's Millennial kingdom, when He is ruling from the throne of Israel, and when righteousness, truth and peace dwell within its walls. I can't wait to see the city of Jerusalem in that day! Isaiah 2:1-5 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD. Micah 4:1-4 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. Psalms 48:1-2 A SONG AND PSALM FOR THE SONS OF KORAH. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalms 78:68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. Psalms 87:1-3 A PSALM OR SONG FOR THE SONS OF KORAH. His foundation is in the holy mountains. The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. Psalms 87:5-7 And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee. Psalms 122:6-7 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 60:18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. Isaiah 62:6-7 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. Isaiah 62:11-12 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. Isaiah 65:17-25 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 31:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness. Ezekiel 5:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. Zechariah 8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. -

My Beloved Child Comfortless? Abandoned? No, I would never leave you that way. You’re My child, and I love you. I’m watching over you each day. Forsaken? Defenseless? Impossible - that could never be. I’m with you every moment; oh, My dear child, can’t you see? I will never leave you, nor forsake you - you have that promise from My heart. You are walking close beside me, from you I will never, ever depart. I will carry you safely in my arms, and beside you I will stand; I could never leave you; oh, My child - you are graven upon my hands! Though you struggle in the darkness, troubled at the trials you see, I could never leave you comfortless; oh, My child, you matter to Me. You are precious in My sight - I will never leave you alone; I saved you by My might, and I will bring you safely home. You are My child - that’s a promise, from that instant you knelt to pray; When you received My Son as your Saviour, I adopted you that day. Comfortless? Abandoned? No - from that moment on you were with Me. I’m your Father - when you became My child, I adopted you for eternity! October 17th, 2024 Jerry Bouey (Christmas Project 2024) John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Comfortless here is the Greek word orphanos. God will never leave you comfortless like a parent without a child. Isaiah 49:15-16 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Ephesians 1:4-6 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. Romans 8:15-16 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Abba means “Daddy.” When you trust the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation, believing that He shed His blood for you on the cross, that He died and rose again, God becomes your heavenly Father and adopts you as His child. Then He becomes your Abba, Father. Galatians 4:4-6 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

To Be With Christ Is Far Better To be absent from my earthly body Is to be present forever with the Lord. Here with you or at home in Heaven - This dilemma seems a two-edged sword. I want to be here with my loved ones, I want no sorrow to come their way - But to be present with my Saviour Is a desire that means more than I can say. I’ve walked with Jesus for so many years, Is it time now to leave this mortal domain? Torn between two desires - which is better - To depart for Heavenly shores or to remain? The hope of a new body, oh to be glorified, No more trials - gone forever - is it time? There’s so many wonders to look forward to - But, I will long for those I will leave behind. Between the glories of eternity, and those who make me whole, It’s a choice I cannot make - both appeal to my soul. I’m in a strait between these two - but my spirit is at rest - For I’m leaving the choice with my Father - He alone knows what is best. “To depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better.” September 29, 2024 Jerry Bouey 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Philippians 1:20-23 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

Open Doors In every person’s life, we find so many doors opened or closed; The True Light shines out amongst us, which the darkness has always opposed. Jesus is the only Saviour - He is the Way to Heaven’s shore. For all the lost and scattered sheep, Jesus says, “Behold, I Am the Door.” All we like sheep have gone astray, but the price has been fully paid; On the cross of Calvary, all our iniquities on Him were laid. Today is the day of salvation; oh, sinner, what are you waiting for? The Saviour still is pleading - behold, He is knocking at your heart’s door. Open doors and open windows, filled with many blessings from above. “See how I will pour you out a blessing so there will always be enough. Test Me now, and try Me, my child, claim all of these promises so true. As you walk through these doors of ministry, know I will always be with you.” One day soon, there’ll be a voice like a trumpet, and in the twinkling of an eye, We will hear, “Come up hither,” and see our Saviour coming in the clouds of the sky; We will be caught up together with Him and rise through Heaven’s open door - Hallelujah, what glorious rapture to be forever with the Lord. Praise the Lord for open doors. November 3rd, 2024 Jerry Bouey (Dedicated to Faith Baptist Church, for our 40th Church Anniversary) Jesus Is The Door Of The Sheep John 10:7, 9 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep… I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. The Open Door Of Faith Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. The Open Door To Ministry 1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. Revelation 3:7-8 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. The Open Door To Preaching 2 Corinthians 2:12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, Colossians 4:2-4 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak. The Open Door To Heaven (The Rapture) Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. The Open Door To Jesus’ Return James 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Matthew 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
