Just watched CBS news and they said 2012 was the warmest year on record with an average of 55.3 degrees. Earlier I watched Sky News and they said South East Australia has the hottest temperature on record wit many bush fires and temperatures approaching 50.C. We have had a mild winter in this area so far, only with one night going down to -8C and a couple at 0 to -2. Last night it was about 8C just a tad down from the day temperature. We can normally expect temperatures just below or just above freezing during the nights at this time of the year. We have had the wettest year on record in some areas. However, a report on the news this evening said that the M…

1Co 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? I realize this verse refers to suing a brother in Christ, but for what reason do we sue anyone? Is it not a sort of revenge? Or "teaching them a lesson? Or maybe we need the money? What do you see as a valid reason for a lawsuit, and why? Personally, I do not feel it is right to sue anyone, whether brother in the Lord or not. (Just my opinion and practice)

“Husbands, love your wives”—train your children, but love your wives. Nowhere in the Bible are we commanded to “train” our wives, but to love them. God made man out of dirt, and he has been nothing but dirt ever since! God made man to be free....then He made woman! Man is the head of the home, but woman is the heart; no body can function without a head or a heart. children are a blessing from the Lord, but often a bane to the family if not trained. Love is the “glue” that holds marriages together. Few things unite a people like adversity. (Sept 11, 2001) There is little in this life more refreshing than a loving wife. Compassion is the…

Do you sin? Romans 7:14-25 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do…

“That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth” Who made any of us lawyers of the word of God? God’s word is given of God, and carries with it an elevated preeminence which can never be attained by words from men. The only words of men fit for any use are those which humbly point toward our perfect God and Savior, Jesus Christ; and that by the Holy Spirit's leading. Illustration is acceptable when persuading others of the truth in God's word. Psalms 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the …

I was reading some articles about the topic but I lost the page; didn't even know the Grammys had happened or that they acknowledged CCM. In any even, in one (maybe two) of the articles, they mentioned that certain CCM artists are gaining some non-Christian listeners. The article went on to point out how many are attracted to the quality music in a style they are familiar with but as they listen they hear the Gospel, with the result of some becoming Christians. As far as I know, the articles I was reading were written by secular writers, so they didn't go into detail.

Should Women Be in Ministry or Not? 10:00AM EST 2/12/2013 Ron Cantor with Dr. Daniel C. Juster I am a little nervous as my fingers hit the keyboard. Seeing what kind of firestorm was unleashed from blogs by Lee Grady and Jennifer LeClaire, both excellent writers—do I really dare add my two cents on women in ministry? Ahhh, why not? Government vs. Ministry Is it possible that both camps are right to some degree? We must separate governmental authority from ministry gifts. For the most part, men are called to govern (eldership), but women can teach, preach, prophesy, etc. (see Eph. 4 regarding spiritual gifts). Yes, there are exceptions like Deborah. But Deborah is one …

Some folks are not going to appreciate this. It falls under a category of "common sense" and observance. Please read it with a tender spirit. I gave it the title myself, which sees the mind as the spirit. Body, Soul, and Spirit Man is a triune creation, composed of a spirit, a mind, and a body. Below we have six way6s that these can be arranged, and the probable characteristics of each. THE FIRST: body, mind, spirit. The body controls the mind, and the mind controls the spirit. This is the most dangerous of the six stages, or conditions of man. These believe that “anything goes”; self is god, sensuality dominates their life. Self is always first a…

We all know that our government is always looing for ways to spy on its citizens, usually those who it feels that’s breaking its laws, but it could go much deeper than that. A feature on Dish & the Weather Channel got me to thinking. This feature on Dish & the Weather Channel is at times when your on the Weather Channel you can press “Select,” & it will give your local weather. When will our government start embedding a microphone & or a web cam in the TV’s its citizens buys so they can see & hear what’s going on in our homes? It seems like they might not be very far from being able to do that. I would not put it past them. They have not always bee…

Westboro Baptist Daughters Leave Hate-Mongering Church, Apologize for Harm 1:00PM EST 2/8/2013 Gina Meeks Grace (left) and Megan Phelps-Roper, former Westboro Baptist Church members, picket the 2010 Academy Awards (Flickr: k763) The hate-mongering cult congregation Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has lost two of its members.

70th Anniversary of Nazi Defeat The city of Stalingrad, which was renamed Volgograd in 1961, has regained its wartime name for the event, following a council decision. Around one million people are thought to have died in the battle. Soviet troops defeated the German Sixth Army, in what is considered one of the major turning points of World War II. From Stalingrad some Soviet soldiers fought all the way to Berlin, he adds. The defeat threw Hitler’s offensive in the Soviet Union into disarray. The victory in World War II is one of the things that unites all Russians, our correspondent adds. “At the heart of all Russia’s victories and achievements are patriotism, faith and…

So, I just received a letter from Calvary Road Baptist Church with the news that John Wilkerson has been called as the new pastor. Anyone have anything more on this, or know much about the pastor? Will he be beter than the last one? No, I'm not looking to stir anything up, nor do I want to argue about Schaap or Hyles-just curious if anyone knows anything, seeing as the, sll we say, current notoriety of the church. NO gossip, please.

Matthew 19:21, 27-30 21 Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, o…

(This news story caught my eye for what it tells us without meaning to) Barely legal: Women wearing pants in Paris Paris is as fashion-forward as it gets. Then again, maybe not: Women, technically, are banned from wearing pants. At least according to a law from 1800, still on the books. But keep your trousers on: In a statement, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, France's minister of women's rights, said the 200-year-old ban has been supplanted by other laws. "This order was aimed first of all at limiting the access of women to certain offices or occupations by preventing them from dressing in the manner of men," she said. "This order is incompatible with the principle…

Haha, sounds like you’re doing all the hard work! If only you were a pastor, right? Then you could just preach, shake hands, and have all the free food show up. But for now, it looks like your wife is keeping you busy with all that car washing and laundry folding! 😄 -

I understand that. The real issue for me would be if someone added something to the Bible and claimed it as part of the Word of God. Anything else is just there for helps. For the record, I won't be buying a Trump Bible either. -

The church we're members of didn't have evening service, rather they had several small groups. Since the Wuhan Flu the church has stopped all small groups. On most Sunday evenings they have choir practice for a choir we NEVER use. It's been a royal mess since 2020. -
