BIBLES FOR BONEHEADS By Lee Duigon December 27, 2012 NewsWithViews.com If you’d like to be spiritual without the hassle of being a Christian, and you’ve received money or a gift card for Christmas, you may want to buy one or more of the new, improved Bibles that are coming out. We’ve all heard of the new “gay-friendly” or “Queen James” Bible (see this link) that turns a sin into a blessing, or whatever. Well, this is going to be taken one step farther for the Self-Esteem Bible. Published by the Stunata Foundation, the Self-Esteem Bible is “guaranteed to give you a warm glow every time you look into the mirror to pray,” according to a recommendation by Joseph Procr…

The Lord laid on my heart to write devotions for every chapter in the Bible, Book by Book. there are 1189 chapters in our KJV and I most likely will not finish the task before my demise. If anyone is interested let me know Just send me a pm please. They are short and to the point, designed for people without a lot of time while at work or at home. I have from Genesis to Deuteronomy, Ruth, Ezra and Daniel, and most of the minor prophets. Also Judges and Lamentations in the OT. In the NT, I have 22 Books finished. If you are a lady, please respond on Online Baptist, so that everything is in the open (for both our testimonies). Thank you. By the way, they…

SHOULD CHRISTIANS HOLD PRAYER VIGILS WITH APOSTATES? By Marsha West December 19, 2012 NewsWithViews.com During the 2012 election, the New Religious Right (NRR) held prayer vigils all throughout the United States. Their rallying cry: “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14 There is nothing wrong with Christians gathering together to pray for a common cause. There is nothing wrong with asking God to return our country to biblical principles for the simple reason that those of u…

Hey Christians GIVE ME BACK MY CHRISTMAS. I don't consider those who "mean well" in taking away Christmas, and yelling about how pagan it is. You are no different than those that want to take Christ out of Christmas! We have a fit when they write "Xmas" but then we go and castigate and criticize Those who celebrate it ourselves! (I know that the X is the letter ch in Greek, but I like Christ--it sounds so much better.) Don't steal my Christmas away from me, I like it. I do not mean Satan Clause, but the true Christmas, the birth of our Savior. Don't tell me about it's pagan beginnings, or that the Catholics invented the day themselves, That ruins it, and I would n…

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” “Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.” “Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith.” Alexis de Tocqueville, 29 July 1805 – 16 April 1859 I believe I'll have to buy his book Democracy in America and read it. Also, if I can find it free on line I will download it! I heard an interesting address (CSPAN) by George Will at the Washington University of St Louis. Will quoted Tocqueville several times. I would also like to read Will's book,…

Are many people in this country in danger of losing their retirement benefits in this county? We know that many large companies are not doing so well. Many states, counties, & cities are having Financial troubles along with our Federal government. Will they go into bankruptcy & the courts throw out pensions & retirement benefits & such leaving many of the retired working people with nothing who have worked many years for the same company? It seems that courts will throw those who have retired from a company under the bus in order to save the large company while rewarding those in management with big buyouts. US Postal Service defaults on $5.5 billion p…

Why God Created the GOP By Patrick J. Buchanan Friday - December 21, 2012 "God put the Republican Party on earth to cut taxes. If they don't do that, they have no useful function." Columnist Robert Novak was speaking of the party that embraced the revolution of Ronald Reagan, who had hung a portrait of Calvin Coolidge in his Cabinet Room and set about cutting income tax rates to 28 percent. But, to be historically precise, the GOP was not put here to cut taxes. From infancy in the 1850s, its mission was to halt the spread of slavery. From 1865 to 1929, it was the party of high tariffs. Mission: Build the nation and protect U.S. industry and the wages of American w…

Note the last sentence in the following quote from a Yale document. Bold and underline added for emphasis. Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Baptists and Religious Liberty in Early Connecticut by George W. Grisevich This is how the colonial framers spoke when they conveyed their thoughts about religious freedom in colonial America. When they referred to what the liberals now call separation of church and state (they say the religion clause) within the First Amendment to The Constitution; this is what the framers meant and the thought was understood to the populace at large. This is what the people thought when they saw the first amendment to the Constit…

Only a few days left. Any help I could get with promoting the videos would be great. Don't forget we have four languages. English, Tagalog, Portuguese, and Mongolian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63c4qOirJ4A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFRVR_HBtaQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTdkw85dGlk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHbbWY2LtcQ Please share them however you can!

Why is it when evil happens such as the recent school shooting, those that totally reject God, His Son Jesus Christ, that do not believe the words within the Bible, even atheist. Whether it be president, police, news media personal, will say the words, "You'll be in our thoughts and prayers." Yet actually these are empty words, for they're not going to pray for them, for they never pray never worship God, never open their Bibles, never enter one of Jesus' Church Houses,never offer praises to Jesus. They actually detest those that believe in God, that promote Jesus, that follows Jesus close. Yet many of them will use the words, "You will be in my thoughts and prayers,"…

Big Business loses sometimes, but not often A few years back Coke company got caught doing illegal business. They just about just many smaller bottling companies out of business. During that time period several smaller bottling companies in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, & perhaps another state or two lost many dollars because of big business unethical practices. Sad thing is many of them et away with it doing favors for favors among our congressmen. And our congressmen & big business is getting rich. And yes, once in a while someone will run on the thought they will clean things up. But it never happens. If they try to clean congress up, the will get t…

Just read this book and found it to be a blessing. I am a laypreacher at a small church. Sunday morning averages 6-12 members. It has been a bit discouraging because it seems the only reason they keep the doors open is because they do not like change and do not want to find another church to attend. I can understand this because the youngest person in attendance would be around 62. 10 are in their 70's. The church has been plagued by splits in the past. They were praying for a pastor 4 or 5 years ago and one showed up on their doorstep. He was there less than a year. They got rid of him because he preached too often on women wearing dresses. In fact one member t…

Wow. I came across this in my devotional readings. These words really moved me and challenged me. God is present everywhere, and in every thing. We only need to open our eyes and be aware that his great Love surrounds us. "You will find the living God in the pages of the Bible. You will find him also just exactly where you are. When Jesus knew that he would not have much longer with his disciples he knew that they were sad at heart and he said to them: "It is for your own good that I am going because unless I go, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I do go, I will send him to you . . . I still have many things to say to you, but they would be too much for …

See how I avoided making one side right and the other wrong! O.K. so the question... Was The United States born out of oppression or rebellion? Edit to add... Do the words of Abe Lincoln have any bearing? "conceived in liberty"

White Robes 1 2

Rev 7:9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; Just learned that "white robes" were worn during holidays in the Jewish culture; the Romans wore them in their forum discussions as "office holders" or signs of authority. What a blessing for us to be clothed in white robes in the presence of our Lord. Now, and at the Tabernacle in the wilderness (White linen fence), they seemed to represent righteousness, reflecting the righteousness of Christ in us, at least the color white; i…

I went to the VA Hospital to get my ears checked before going to a ENT doctor later this month. I've had tinnitus for many years, they've been ringing so long I don't remember when it started, lately it seems louder than ever. I wanted to get my ears checked out to see if there is any problem as well how much hearing loss I've got. I've heard it said that sometimes hearing aids helps some people with tinnitus. I'm wondering if this comes from those who sell hearing aids with hope of selling even more hearing aids. I've read several post in a forum on hearing aids & most seem to have no help with their tinnitus after spending a bundle of money. The VA will furnis…

It's one thing for divorced Church member to go to te court house to get married but for a pastor of a Church that is held in high regard to marry 2 of his divorced members is awful. The job of a pastor is to push his members to be holy and righteous not push them into lifelong sin and then parade around in front of everyone like they are serving God. Just my thought...

You're a block head Charlie Brown. All know the funny skits from the cartoons and his missing the football every time. Never sincere enough for the great pumpkin to visit him. Probably a message in there ;-D Schultz is dead now but his work lives on. His daughter still carries on as the mantle fell to her but she uses the cartoonist to do other things as well. She's Meredith Hodges and is a mule trainer. It may be of interest to some here. She owns lucky three ranch (google search if interested). I do the cowboy and mountain man thing with buckskins and black powder guns. One man think the great pumpkin akin to Santa. To our international readers/members: …

As far as I remember, if a divorced man was a Christian, before coming to Christ or after, could not be a deacon, teacher, or preacher. Has this changed? and is it OK for divorce Preachers give marriage counseling classes to a family in need, of counseling. -

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.
