Rom. 13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. I believe God can tell the time, & Scripture has a message for the immediate hearers, & also for all in similar situations, so that we can read the Scriptures & ask, "What is God saying to me, to my family, church, & associates, and to the generation I live in." There is a tendency, when we study prophecy, to pigeon-hole it into fulfilled or end-times, & also to see prophecies as happening today as we read the news. That can be to be especially dangerous as folk try to predict the nearness of the "rapture" on s…

My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Mark 1:9–13 Mark deals very briefly with the baptism and temptation of Jesus (see Matthew 3:13 to 4:11 for a more detailed account). Following his baptism, the Lord Jesus was driven by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness, where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. Though weak in body through lack of food, he did not yield to the enticements of the devil. John baptized those who had repented of their sin (4). Why then did the Lord Jesus submit to baptism when he is sinless and has no need to repent? •Baptism speaks of identification. When a believer is baptized, he is identified with Jesus in his death and resurrection (Romans …

We sold our first 17 lambs of the season at the rate of one, two, or three at the time, and 6 of those were to Muslims. Madjid from Oman, "Mo" from Bahrain, Isaac and Saeed from Saudi Arabia came and slaughtered on the farm. These particular guys seemed friendly enough but I never look forward to dealing with Muslims as they're too persistent in "negotiating" the price and just the prospect of having young Muslims around makes me a little nervous. They had also agreed to bury the remains but they left heads and feet sticking out of the ground and when I returned Saturday afternoon, it was stinking to high heaven. But last Friday afternoon we sold 15 rams to Ignacio, fro…

Ever noticed this in Revelation 3...."church *of the* Laodiceans"? All the other churches were addressed as "the church in ___". Many people try to use this passage as evidence that salvation can be lost. Since we know salvation can't be lost, I figure these are the people following the likes of "chrislam" and the churches forming that think homosexuality is okay. Any thoughts?

When I was a kid, I remember my mother listening to cassette tapes of different preachers. She was blind and spent hours listening to these tapes, and she had shoe boxes (plural) full of them. Her favorites were Dr. Donald G. Barnhouse, and Charles Stanley. I guess the idea of listening to messages all during the week sort of grew on me, and after retiring a few years ago, I have in the last couple of years become accustomed to listening to messages all the time. I ran across the messages of Dr. Curtis Hutson lately and have been very impressed with him. I was just wondering if anyone ever listened to him, and if there was a rule about posting video or audio messages in t…

Hi all As some of you may know, I'm a recent member invited by another member of this online forum. I'm also an atheist. So far, I have been treated fairly respectably on this board which I greatly appreciate, but there have been some inklings by fellow board members as to the intent of some of my posts. In an effort to help me further understand Christian doctrine and the opinions of Christians in general, I've started this thread so that the following question can be answered: what do you think about atheists and why? (Possible suggestions for discussion: what do you think an atheist is, what do you think an atheist believes or doesn't believe, do you have any atheisti…

Does anyone have any suggestions for online places to purchase some posters for my Sunday school room? They have to be cheap, because it'll be out of my own pocket. Thanks for any ideas!

THE NIGHT WATCHMAN Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.” So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job. Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job without instruction?” So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies. Then Congress said, “How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?” So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people. One was to do the studies and one was to write the reports. Then Congress said, “How are …

Godliness VS Worldliness, Holiness VS Ungodly or Worldly or Carnal, Obedience VS Grace (heretical form of grace which is not God's grace, but rather fleshly indulgence)..Laying up treasures in Heaven VS Loving the things of the world..... I wonder how this will go over here. Most Christians I have encountered are living according to heretical teachings of God's grace which is not God's grace at all. They excuse themselves for personal indulgences of ungodly things claiming that God's grace makes it ok. There is nothing holy or Godly about Bugs Bunny, but many Christians love Bugs Bunny and promote him as something good when he is nothing but wicked. So what do you thin…

Rebound in hardback with goatskin leather. Nothing feels like this goatskin, compared to the common 'pig skin' leather used on modern Bibles. My "Holy Bible" label is now removed, material started fading, so I gently removed the label. Can't tell though. My Bible has a few miles on it since these pictures, but still looks like a quality Bible, yet gently read.

I'm going to be hosting a university student for a few weeks in August while she is studying in Canada. This is a first time for me, and I'm trying to figure out how best to be a good host. My visitor is from Liverpool. I was wondering if any of y'all from the UK could give me any hints as to... I don't know... what you would like to experience if you were visiting Western Canada, or any things that would help make a visit seem homey to you (must have English muffins in stock, or something like that). Any ideas?

Dear Online Baptist family, I was wondering if there would be anyone that would be willing to do a book review for me? My book, The Day the Music Died, is available in PDF format free of charge (no kidding). The link is: www.pioneerbaptist.org/booklet/music.pdf I wrote this book about 3 1/2 years ago and have recently reformatted and expanded it. Some of you have already downloaded it from the Music forum. It is available to anyone who would like a copy. Bound printed copies are available for $15.00 each (with free shipping in the United States - no international orders please, sorry). Once you have read the book I would be ver…

...and why so many think Christians are crazy! Anyone seen the latest "sign from God" making the rounds of the internet? "A rainbow appeared over the Arapahoe County courthouse on Thursday – the day the Aurora theater shooter was found guilty of murder." Across the internet where this is being posted Christians are calling this yet another sign from God. Comments such as God showing His approval of the murder conviction and that sort of thing. Is that really what a rainbow represents, God's approval of something? After a prayer meeting earlier this year in DC there was a rainbow and Christians were at it again proclaiming this a sign of God's approval. Ironically, after t…

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Also, there is no soul sleep in the Bible. Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. The dead do not know what is happening on the earth after they are removed from it. It is not that they have no knowledge (or thoughts) whatsoever, but that they cannot or do not know what happens after they pass away - they have no knowledge of what is happening “under the sun” once they have gone to either the eternal home of the righteous or the unrighteous. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -

Here is what you said and I replied to.... The Bible mentioned if any man add or subtract to the Word of God? I know they’re not changing the Words, but they are adding to the Bible, man-made rules and songs, to it. With your criteria, Paul's Journey is no different than political addiction as they are both placed by men. You said "Adding to the Bible" as being the problem, not political motivation. -

I wash my wife’s car and pass vacuum inside, Shine wheels. It’s hard work sometimes, if I was only a pastor, I wouldn’t have to do all these things. 🤣 -

Revelation 14:10-11: "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name." Revelation 20:15: "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 21:8: "And the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
