    Bible Characters

    by Jerry

    This is just meant for a little bit of fellowship. What are a couple of Bible characters you can think of that were not “main Bible characters” (and by that I mean ones that you only come across once or only a few times in the Bible) that did something - usually as a result of their faith - but now it is recorded forever in God's Word as a testimony to them? A friend and I were talking recently about Mary of Bethany who broke the alabaster box and anointed Jesus' head and feet with the precious ointment. She is only mentioned on three separate occasions (not counting parallel passages). I don't want to take all the easy ones, but here are three that ca…

    The Days Of Lot - a precursor?

    by 1Timothy115

    We don't have a lot of information about people's actions during the "days of Noe (Noah)", but we know a lot about the activities of the "days of Lot." What all was going on during that time, beyond Christ's condensed description in Luke 17:28. What were the comprehensive actions of the people of not only Sodom and Gomorrah but all around them too?

    Yesterday my baby brother (heh, he's 59, so no baby anymore) became a grandpa, and my mom became a great grandma. I became a great aunt. Baby Zxanae chose 2'sDay to enter the world. (name is pronounced Zhhhh - u - nay...a combo of her mom's first and middle names) They don't live near us, though, so I can't squeeze her!

    Is anyone familiar with this youtube/radio preacher? Last week someone trustworthy in my church mentioned him as a preacher I would probably like. I looked him channel up, and initial impressions were whoah and yowza. I figured I had mistyped the name, but then yesterday on Facebook I found a recent post by my friend's wife passing on some article by this man - same one I had quickly looked at. So, with all these red flags going off, I started to check him out. He hyper focusses on the endtimes, UFO's and the occult (I assume exposing them - THOUGH he has links to actual UFO sites in his channel Playlists - typically people who have their own channels have their own …

    Blaming the government for everything… 1 2 3 4

    by TheGloryLand

    I know the government is not perfect and they are not always truthful, but I believe sometimes they are trying to do their best for its citizens. I don’t go saying or blaming the government for everything. That if something is going wrong it is the government fault, it’s not their fault all the time, in my opinion. People need to be fair, and do there own part.

    Spencer Smith

    by Jerry

    A few weeks ago, a friend of mine sent me a link to a youtube video by Spencer Smith. It was 4 and 1/2 hours so I didn't watch that much of it yet, but because it was in my history I started getting suggestions for other videos from that youtube channel. The titles seem sensationalistic and a couple of the videos seemed he was trying to entertain people - but as time is going on, it seems like he may be a decent source for exposing some of the garbage in "Christendom." Just checked out his doctrinal statement on his website and it seems good, sound doctrinal positions, KJV, Independant Baptist (if I remember that part correct, I was skimming through the page). http:/…

    God has the means at His disposal to get our attention if we resist hearing Him. We must tune up our spiritual ears, to hear what God tells us to do. 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the …

    Back in my teen years, there was a song 'Get Ready ~ by Rare Earth' (yes I listened to rock then). I bring it up not as a confession, but to borrow a line from the lyrics....Get ready, 'cause here I come' If we believe 2 million in 2021 was a lot, Biden and his party are much more organized after a year of practice, and...

    Why are people not applying for work… 1 2

    by TheGloryLand

    Amazing, the prices are rising on everything from food to rent and gasoline, but there are still people not wanting to go to work. I know in some parts of the country the weather is the big problem, but people are just giving up. I remember when a person would not quit their job, to they had another one lined up. Not anymore, some will quit their jobs, and go back home with mom and dad. The I don’t care attitude has risen also on the job, many people just don’t care, I’ll do my eight hours and I’m out of here. You almost have to put a knife on the throat and plead for them, to do overtime. I’m tired of this job, they don’t deserve me here, and they don’t pay enough.

    Missionaries from another (not mine) Ind. Baptist Church... Word has come from our missionaries in Ukraine, Damien and Melanie Austin. They have been strongly urged from the American Embassy in Ukraine to leave the country for a short time. THIS from Brother Damien: It was a difficult decision and we were waiting for advice from other contacts higher up. All things brought us to the same conclusion. Prayerful considerations gave us a confident peace from the Lord. We are going to be leaving Ukraine for 2 months beginning on Tuesday. All of this is dependent on a negative PCR test that is required to travel these days. Please keep us in …

    What Books Are You Reading? 1 2 3 4 5

    by BrotherTony

    I have a slew of books, two of which are going to be required reading for me. One of those two is "Renovation of the Heart: Putting on the Character of Christ" by Dallas Willard, and the second is "Unfinished Business: Returning the Ministry to the People of God" by Greg Ogden. I'm looking forward to reading them when they get here. I also will be reading the "Kingdom Men" series from Dr. Tony Evans. He has been one of my favorite speakers over the years. His preaching kept me interested in things of the Lord when I left the ministry many years ago, and was partially responsible for my returning to church in 1999. So, what books are you reading, or would you recom…

    The number of words a language has for something tells you how important it is. Eskimos have over 100 words for snow. Scottish language has 421 words for snow. Arabic has over 100 words for camel. Drunk has 2985 synonyms. Every language has words that cannot be directly translated into other languages. Each language has sounds that are not in other languages. The sound ræ is found only in Czech. Languages are fascinating.

    North Carolina's Supreme Court strikes down redistricting maps that gave GOP an edge 1 2

    by Razor

    https://www.npr.org/2022/02/05/1078481564/north-carolina-redistricting RALEIGH, N.C. — A divided North Carolina Supreme Court struck down the state's new maps for congressional and General Assembly seats Friday, declaring that state courts had authority to throw out lines engineered to secure a long-term Republican advantage in an otherwise closely divided state. By a 4-3 decision — with the justices who are registered Democrats making up the majority — the state's highest court directed the GOP-controlled legislature to redraw the plans by Feb. 18 and provide an explanation of how they calculated the partisan fairness of the new boundaries. Any replacement maps…

    by BrotherTony

    On December 23rd, my wife and I went into Murfreesboro, TN for a few things we needed. We had been searching for a puppy to buy or rescue. There didn't seem to be any puppies that needed to be rescued, but many older dogs that wouldn't last long. We had seen a Chocolate Labrador Retriever pup online that was at a local pet store...there was also a Dalmatian pup! We like the looks of both of them...but we truly wanted to see the Lab! It had been February of 1993 since we had a dog in ouor home, having to give our Rusty away (Springer/Cocker mix) and we had been sick about it for a long time. He was such a sweet, well mannered dog. We had had him since he was only 8 weeks o…

    Have You Earned Your Tomorrow

    by Razor

    Have You Earned Your Tomorrow Edgar Guest Is anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way, Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejo…
