You are becoming a nut ? Be smart when you’re picking a fight. Sometimes arguing, and fighting are the same thing. True Christians try hard not to fall into this practice.

23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, an…

In the Bible, numbers often have a symbolic meaning, depending upon its usage throughout the Scriptures. For example, the number nine or nine things is often a picture of fruitfulness. This is the best example of that: Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Of course, I do not want to force a meaning into a passage because the number nine is used or there are nine things listed, but what other passages have you seen that list nine things and could perhaps illustrate fruit in some way? Some other examples I had listed on some of the margins …

I have read some comments by commentators over the years that when the Bible uses the term "up" or "down" as a direction (like, going up to Jerusalem, down to the wilderness, down to the coast, etc.) that it is referring to elevation. Has anyone ever studied this out? I was reading a commentary on the life of David a couple of days ago, and the author pointed out the word down in this verse: 1 Samuel 25:1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran. Then he proceeded to teach on the "downward" course (using this term as his spring…

The tree that is growing, shed its leaves for many years, dry out and die. We need to do what we can do, while we can do it. What Bible verses can you apply to this saying, thank you.

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts they would like to share regarding Satan being in Eden, as portrayed in the book of Ezekiel. I was thinking specifically about the difference that we see between the garden of Eden as it is portrayed in Genesis, compared with Eden in Ezekiel. In Genesis God planted the garden, in Ezekiel the garden is portrayed as mineral in nature and called, "the garden of God". I was just curious about how people viewed this garden, if it was the same place in both accounts and why anyone believes what they believe about it. Ezekiel 28:12-17 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lo…

I sure would like for input about this organization from OB. Didn't this used to be 'Campus Crusade For Christ'? I believe it's hooked up with the Prebyterians who except homosexual marriage, is that true? Please help, as a board member, considering to support a graduate from college (attends our local church) I need to know some quick facts. Thanks, Dave

We will be traveling to Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina this summer. We are going to be arriving in Atlanta GA on Wednesday July 6, 2022 and we would love to visit a good church of like faith that has Wednesday services. I tried to search online for IFB KJV only churches in Atlanta, GA and came up with over 100 matches! Yikes! Really?! If there are more than 10 in the entire state of Oregon (truly a mission field) I would be shocked. Any recommendations? In His will. By His power. For His glory! 2bLikeJesus

Someone once told me that where all weapons, or guns, were removed from the public possession, that dictators would be able to control them even the more. If Americans, are so upset about having gun control, it could be Canada‘s fault, that here in America,they might make new changes. Do you want the government to take control of those that have weapons, like guns, control over sales and the permits. Everyone must follow the laws or rules like those in Canada, which is in the news today. I hope this helps why am I posting this here, many Christians are gun owners, thank you for your replies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/05/30/canada-gu…

Does anyone know of any good Christian illusionists that travel as evangelists? Please don't make this topic about how evil they are (I have my reasons for asking).

What does it means, to serve the lord here on earth, apart from preaching the Word and evangelism. Can you please give me some examples, like cleaning the church, is that serving the Lord, cutting the grass of the church grounds, is that serving the Lord. Washing the pastor car, is this serving the Lord. I believe, in this area some could be taken advantage of it’s members. I know that my post may sound negative sometimes, but believe me there are needed to be taken care of. The Word of God, and the church needs to be rightly divide it. Amen Be nice B T

The Catholics are probably saying we’re getting a break this time, finally if someone else. But still there will be those faithful members that will just turn their eyes ? the other way. Also sadly, there will be many that will turn away from the faith.

Some history needs to be repeated, here's one... Noah Webster (October 16, 1758 – May 28, 1843) was an American lexicographer, textbook pioneer, English-language spelling reformer, political writer, editor, and author. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education". His "Blue-backed Speller" books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read. We need Noah and his Blue-backed Spellers back again.

So our son is getting married on June 10. We are beyond thrilled. His wife-to-be is a godly young woman, and had I tailored a wife for him, she is what I would have made. God is so good! Wouldn't mind some prayer that things all come together for the wedding. ?

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. I would like to clear any difference (offense or misunderstanding) that a brother or sister may have toward me. Please contact me so we can get it right between us. Thanks.

What does the Bible tells us in revelations about the end times wars. The rapture of the Saints, must this happen before there is a nuclear war. Can the man or woman that bring peace to this Ukraine war, be the antichrist.

Do you ever have the feeling, your prayers never get past the ceiling? 1 John 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 1 John 5:15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

I always love this time of year....a time to reflect on what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us, and how our salvation was provided by his death, burial, and ressurection! I pray you all take time to reflect on his love for us, and for all the he provides for us in this life, and has provided for us in the next.

Don't say, "there is no going back." Don't even look back in first place. If you find yourself looking back, STOP! Instead... "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2 Then, after your view is in the right direction... "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14
