I am the president of a small young adult and young professional group in our church, though I am not young anymore . The group is called Ambassadors for Christ Fellowship. As the president, I have to come up of ideas for an activity for the Ambassadors after the worship service. We have a fellowship once a month. For this month, our theme is: A Good Financial Steward. Can anyone suggest a good activity related to this theme? It could be a game, a seminar, or any that you can suggest of. By the way, the church created this group so that our young adults can be useful to the ministry and to at least keep them from worldly activities. I hope you can help me. Thank you brot…

The same tactic used by homosexuals in the early 1970s. (1) Go after the psychiatric and psychological institutions. (1a) Change the definition, make it palatable. Legislation for protected class will follow within 30 years. Instead of putting them behind bars you'll be required by law to bake them a cake.

A new book was just released on amazon, barnes & noble, and hatchette, titled "Miracles From Heaven" by Christy Beam. Christy gives an account of an unverifiable accident that happened to her then 9 year old daughter, Annabel, who is now 12 years of age. The alleged accident happened on December 30th, (or was it 29th? two different dates given in two different interviews. ) Annabel and her older sister had been playing outside and climbed a cottonwood tree. Long story short, the then 9 year old Annabel, fell into a cottonwood tree through a hole in the tree which she was looking into... 30 feet above the ground. She fell headfirst. Allegedly, she blacked out in t…

This is not the entire border or for that matter the prominent entry points for illegals but, you can get the idea. I still have the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, National Guard, and Law Enforcement Training facilities to place in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. I might not be able to catch and hold illegals but, I sure could discourage them from coming on in.

I'm a senior citizen! I'm only 61 and will be 62 later this year. How could I be a senior? Should we have a separate forum where you have to show proof of age to get in? [just kidding] The restaurants would tell me I've been a senior for 6 years already. I know, I ask about discounts at restaurants and they explain if I'm 55 years or older, I'm a senior. If the restaurants are willing to reduce their profit for me to eat then I must be a SENIOR!. What now? I still remember where my truck keys are but, probably because I always leave them in the same place. I'm a Christian Senior, I read and study my Bible, I pray often throughout the day, I'm active in my local church, I …

I don't have time to get them all but here is what started this thread...I hope you don't mind Potatochip I have to answer the thread question in the affirmative. But, this needs to be torn apart and dissected. How it has worked in the past, what it has accomplished, how it is working now, and what are the obvious and not so obvious results of it's insertion into our homes.

5 Surprising Facts About Marco Rubio's FaithSen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, who launched his presidential campaign Monday (April 13), often talks about faith and wrote about his religious convictions in his 2012 book, An American Son: A Memoir. Here are five faith facts about this Catholic son of Cuban immigrants who has also found comfort in Mormonism and a Southern Baptist church: 1. He was once a serious, young Mormon. Rubio's parents baptized him Catholic and he is now a practicing Catholic, but when he was 8, his family moved from South Florida to Las Vegas, where his mother attributed the wholesomeness of the neighborhood to the influence of the Mormon church. Young Ru…

It is estimated that only 3 our of every 100 first time visitors ever return to a church. So I set out on a project to contact as many "one and done" visitors I could find and I asked them one simple question only...“What do you wish church people knew about unchurched people that might turn their first into the first of many?” The following are the top 5 recurring responses I received. They are not in any specific order: 1. I WANT TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED NOT IGNORED This one was huge to me. Did you know that official greeters (like ushers, anyone with a name tag or who will be on “stage” at some point during the service) don’t count as genuine human contact to a visito…

This is a PerVersion I learned about a couple days ago. Published in September 2014. Not by a committee, but by a single woman. Has JESUS returning to Earth at His Second Coming as, not Deity, but a human. i have debated with this woman in the past on the role of Bishop. She argues that the Greek, ei tis, in 1 Timothy 3:1 (translated "If a man" in the KJV) is gender-neutral, and therefore, Bishops can be male or female. She totally dismisses the "must be a husband of one wife" in verse 2, changing it to "faithful in marriage" to justify her error in verse 1. many, many other errors thought this corrupt book. Here's the link where it can be downloaded for free, o…

Rev. C.J. Conner of Christ the King Lutheran Church in Dodge City, Kansas, has a brilliant answer to the dilemma Christian businesses face when asked to provide services for same-sex weddings. His solution? Rather than risking a lawsuit, or simply eliminating wedding services altogether—as some businesses have done—bakers, florists and other Christian businesses should contract their wedding services exclusively with churches. It’s a simple, elegant solution to a complicated problem. By contracting with churches to provide wedding services exclusively to their congregations, businesses would avoid the pitfalls of discrimination charges. While Rev. Conner claims that such …

My mother was a 'Rosie the Riveter' in Akron, Ohio in the 1940s. Some may be unfamiliar with exactly what a Rosie did during WWII. She riveted airplanes together for pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps (now called the U.S. Air Force). It's hard to believe that 70 years ago my mother was sitting on the wing of some aircraft riveting it together. Her birthday was today and I visited her at the nursing home where she is now living. She has to use a walker and is experiencing many of the maladies which effect the elderly. She has Alzheimer's and usually refers to me as 'little brother' but today she remembered and introduced me to the lady she was chatting with as "this is my s…

This is probably not wise on my part but I am going to suggest a book. Resistance to Tyrants: Romans 13 and the Christian Duty to Oppose Wicked Rulers Available on Kindle and paper back from Amazon. only 79 pages Book Description Publication Date: August 24, 2012 Hayek spoke of nations travelling a road to serfdom: This book points to the only real exit ramp. If you're like most Evangelicals, you've been taught that Romans 13:1-7 gives you, the Christian citizen, a blanket duty to "render unto Caesar" an unqualified obedience. Modern teachings on the sticky relationship between God and government, church and state, seem to be little more than restatements of …

The Long Retreat in the Culture WarBy Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - April 10, 2015 The Republican rout in the Battle of Indianapolis provides us with a snapshot of the correlation of forces in the culture wars. Faced with a corporate-secularist firestorm, Gov. Mike Pence said Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act would not protect Christian bakers or florists who refuse their services to same-sex weddings. And the white flag went up again. Politics follows culture. And the cultural revolution of the '60s is triumphant. Traditional Christianity, driven out of schools and the public square, is being whipped back into the churches and told to stay there. America has…

I can't remember why I looked up 'real' but I didn't like it when I saw the antonym. Faith is a different story, antonym...unsteadiness. The following will be my definition of real and faith. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I ran across a post in one of the blogs I look at and in it was mentioned a conservative columnist and writer Joe Sobran so I checked him out. Here is one of his articles which I naturally pretty much agree with because in it he shares my feelings about the press in today's world. At the end of the article is where his articles may be found. Defenders of the Faith July 17, 2001 by Joe Sobran NEWSWEEK recently ran a cover story on the controversy over stem-cell research. Did I say story? It was really a propaganda screed, one of its authors being Eleanor Clift, whom you may remember as Bill Clinton's adoring Olive Oyl. Its theme was that scientific research sh…

Perversion Rising: ‘Book of Yeezus’ Replaces God With Rap Star Kanye WestThere's no lack of controversial Bible translations. The New International Version came under fire in 2011 for using gender-neutral language. The New American Bible also made headlines in 2011 for how it referred to the Virgin Mary. Perhaps the most offensive translation so far is the Queen James Bible, known as the Gay Bible, which argues that "homosexuality was first mentioned in the Bible in 1946 in the Revised Standard Version" and "anti-LGBT Bible interpretations commonly cite only eight verses in the Bible that they interpret to mean homosexuality is a sin." Now, we see a "Kanye West" version o…

Will Bob Corker Save the GOP?By Patrick J. BuchananTuesday - April 7, 2015 "Pat, sometimes it seems like our friends want me to go over the cliff with flags flying," President Reagan once told me. Today, it is "Bibi" Netanyahu and the neocons howling "kill the deal" and "bomb Iran" who are shoving the Republican Party toward the cliff. The question, which may decide 2016, may be framed thus: Should a Republican Congress meticulously point out the flaws and risks of this nuclear deal with Iran and, if the Iranians do cheat or attempt a breakout, be rewarded for their skepticism and statesmanship? Or should the GOP sabotage and scuttle the deal and let itself be held p…

I just saw signs that a nearby city will have an all RCC radio station soon. Here in Ohio I thought Baptists (5.63%) would have a larger population. But according to one website we dwarf the RCC (17.72%). Are Baptists overall (IFB, SBC, etc) a shrinking population? What are the stats in your state, particularly Baptist to RCC?

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."
