Pluralism - Deconstruction - Postmodernism. They are tools of Satan of course. If you're not familiar with them, the definitions are on the internet. I had a rough idea what they were but, didn't have a definition until I looked them up. What is their effect on you, the local church, witnessing, secular society, and western nations?

Who was the first preacher you remember and remember something they said? I was three or four years old, so this was in 1943 or 1944. Chester Swore was leading a revival at a Baptist Church that my parents attended. His sermon must have been one denouncing the popular culture of that time. I remember him saying, "What is more ridiculous than the song "Three itsy-bitsy fish in an itsy bitsy pond." I remember the church was jam-packed. That is all I remember of that night at the revival. Chester Swore -- 1907-1990

This is a long, but interesting article on China's reform generation. The author, Peter Hessler, wrote an excellent book, River Town, describing his experiences when he taught at a university in China. I chuckled when I read a response to Hessler's asking his former students if they thought a multiparty political system was a good idea. Here is a quote from one student. That year, I also asked respondents if they believed that China should become a multiparty democracy, and only about a quarter said yes. A number of them said that China’s system has been successful. For others, though, the reasons were more cynical. “We already have one corrupt party,” one man …

Just the quote, interpretation should be left to the hearer...no arguing please. The crucible of adversity is a less severe trial to the Christian than the refining pot of prosperity. Morning by Morning, February 10, H.A. Spurgeon

Michael is doing a great work through his faith in Jesus Christ. I know him well. Michael's Presentation. Facebook. Well worth consideration if you're looking for a missionary to support. We need a missionary topic category. I'm sure we all have missionaries and even personal missionary work, that would encourage us all.

It’s okay to party and have a good time, enjoy life, enjoy everything that is good. Don’t be like the Jehovah witness, that don’t celebrate Christmas, but take the gifts. : )

Very interesting article. The study attempts to put to rest the debate over Stephen Hawking’s famous information paradox, the problem created by Hawking’s conclusion that any data that enters a black hole can never leave. This conclusion accorded with the laws of thermodynamics, but opposed the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. “What we found from string theory is that all the mass of a black hole is not getting sucked in to the center,” said Samir Mathur, lead author of the study and professor of physics at The Ohio State University. “The black hole tries to squeeze things to a point, but then the particles get stretched into these strings, and the strings…

People, people, people, they can drive you crazy, this is why you need to have peace in your heart. Some people get stressed out over something that is not even important. I say the sky is blue, the other person argues that it is gray. I say to this person it’s your world, I’m just living in it, enjoy your spicy meatball with spaghetti. : )

I posted a quote from Oswald Chamber's book 'My Utmost For His Highest' which I thought was public domain, it is not. I requested permission from the publisher but, as it turns out what I requested is too great for permission. So, they graciously granted me permission to post a link to that day's devotion! Brother Tony, this may provide you a method to receive the devotional, see the bottom of the the web page details. I still believe the purchase of the book is very worth while. 'January 11 What My Obedeince To God Costs Other People' Link embedded Do you believe Oswald is correct in his thoughts on this subject? Do you believe it will cost others more, script…

Americans can start filing their income tax returns Jan. 24, but existing backlogs and longstanding operational problems at the IRS, aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic, are likely to make for a frustrating filing season for taxpayers and tax preparers, a Treasury Department official said Monday. The IRS is still dealing with backups in processing returns from the past two filing seasons. While the tax collector typically has about about 1 million pieces of unopened mail, including tax returns, in its backlog when starting a new filing season, it had 6 million unprocessed individual returns as of Dec. 23, the most recent date for which data is available on the age…

If you had to choose one word or phrase from the Gospels that described something about Jesus Himself or something He did during His ministry that you found so encouraging or faith strengthening, what would it be? Two things come to mind as I type this: 1) Many times in the Gospels it says that Jesus “had compassion” on those around Him. My favourite example of this is the healing of the leper in Mark 1:40-42. I actually wrote a song (lyrics anyway) about that passage. Be Thou Clean Mark 1:40-42 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, move…

An ancient gold ring engraved with the figure of the Good Shepherd is one of the "spectacular" finds from two ancient shipwrecks discovered off the coast of Israel. The ring is octagonal in shape and features a green gemstone carved with the figure of a young shepherd boy dressed in a tunic and bearing a ram or sheep on his shoulders. The image of the Good Shepherd is one of the earliest images used to depict Jesus and suggests the owner was a Christian, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said. The shipwrecks are situated just off the shore of Caesarea and were surveyed by the IAA's marine archaeology unit. Caesarea is a significant location in ear…

We were in the upper 70s just a day or two ago, and this morning we have over 4" of snow! My wife was supposed to go back to work today, but, because we got 1/4" of ice beneath the snow, and because they don't clear the roads out here, most of us are going to have to stay in today because of the slick roads. They should have melting snow and ice this afternoon, so the roads should be fine tomorrow. It's unusual to get the snow this early in the season...but, I'm glad it's now happened, and might not happen again!

I wonder if the military veterans on the board have become part of the Million Veteran Program? I joined it several years ago. I think it is an important program for any veteran, male or female to join. From their website: The Million Veteran Program (MVP) is a national research program to learn how genes, lifestyle, and military exposures affect health and illness. Since launching in 2011, over 825,000 Veteran partners have joined one of the world's largest programs on genetics and health. Veterans who partner with MVP contribute to improving the lives of fellow Veterans and ultimately, everyone. Scientific discoveries from MVP are already underway, helpin…

I know many members here don’t support getting vaccinated, which I support, it should not be enforced on anyone, am I the only one here that believe this. That the vaccine works it is not 100% that you’re are not in danger by taking it and this vaccine does not have anything to do with the mark of the beast, or control of the government over us. I know this is a touchy subject but you do not have to be ashamed of getting it. Many theories out there. I’m posting this now, because some believe I should not be posting this on the Covid post. That is my opinion, yes it is. BE SAFE

Greetings all, i've been reading the good book as carefully as my humble mind can take and that with trust in the Lord. However, i cannot stop thinking about many things that come up and strike me as strange, maybe i have a misconception about many things, but better ask than go nuts. Some of the questions that has occurred to me is as follows: Why does God repent creating mankind? Isn't this against the thought that God is perfect? Why does God get angry? Isn't this also against the perfectness of the Lord? Why does God forget and has to do something, for example create a bow in the clouds, to remind him of something, namely his covenant wit…

Dinosaurs on the ark never made sense to me. Why save the dinosaurs if they were just gonna die right away due to climate change. Either they were an abomination created in Genesis 6 or perhaps prior between Genesis 1:1-2 and were wiped out during Lucifer's rebellion. Incidentally, Satan is compared to a dragon aka dinosaur.

The Bible teaches by man came death. At the end of creation week, there was no evil in the universe. God declared all He had made very good. All the angels rejoiced on day three - when the foundations of the earth were laid - Job 38:7 - which meant none had fallen yet. You can also see the same order of events of creation week (as shown in Job 38) presented the same way in Psalm 104. Satan walked in Eden before he fell - Ezekiel 28:13 - and Eden was not created until day 6. Nowhere does the Bible state Adam and Eve fully understood how death would affect things, only that it was promised as a judgement if they sinned. Satan fell sometime after creation week, then he later tempted Eve and Adam; and their sin resulted in death, the curse, etc. being brought on creation, including all biological life. Romans 5 is very clear on that.

What did the grape do when someone sat on it? It gave out a little whine. What do you call people who really like tractors? Protractors. A rancher had 97 cows in his field. When he rounded them up, he had a hundred! Why did the man name his dogs Rolex and Timex? They were watch dogs. -

replenish (v.) mid-14c., replenishen, "provide" with food or drink, also riches, beauty, etc., from Old French repleniss-, extended present-participle stem of replenir "to fill up," from re-, here perhaps an intensive prefix based on the notion of "fill repeatedly," thus "fill completely" (see re-), + -plenir, from Latin plenus "full" (from PIE root *pele- (1) "to fill"). Specifically as "to fill up again, restore to a former amount or condition" by 1610s. Related: Replenished; replenishing; replenishment. And here's the link to the prefix "re" https://www.etymonline.com/word/re- I'm not convinced either way. Evil did exist before man sinned, otherwise God would not have "known good and evil" and the serpent would not have been an evil entity to have tempted Eve. And "death" was a known concept, otherwise the serpent and Eve would not have discussed it. The Bible says that death passed upon Adam and Eve.. I don't recall reading where it says that animals had not yet died. I'm just curious as to what happened to all them "dinosaurs". Except for crocodilians, they were completely annihilated long ago and I don't believe any of them were on the ark. -
This man started his own cult. Unless you love being deceived, I recommend staying a million miles away from this dangerous heretic.
