1Timothy115

This July 4th I'm recovering from a failed condensate pump which allowed water to ruin several items in our basement. We have no basement drain! Thank God we have a nation where we're free to worship Him; and a national day to thank Him for living in a nation to celebrate the freedom He provided.

I'm not so frequent at OB anymore but, welcome aboard. I'll look for you when I stop by.

The sign out in front of our building only gives the times of services and that we are an Independent Baptist Church. Oh, and the pastor's name.

Go to his website and find the link to contact him, let him know you're praying for him. I'm sure he would like to have a personal note of appreciation and encouragement.

This is a point which must concern us all. Satan and his hoard of demons as well as his host of unwitting minions were never so hard at work. Working to destroy fundamental faith and allegiance to our Lord and His Word. I have allowed too much to interfere with my own diligence to tear into God's Word with hunger and with fervor.

Or San Francisco, Boston, or any other city where Satan has so confused people they don't know if they are men or women.

We don't have a 'Bible-based Behavior' forum. what about 'Christian Living' forum under 'Relationships and Family? Maybe the Questions For Baptists or The Lounge?

Genesis 15:13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; Genesis 15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. Genesis 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. Genesis 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. You're in error toold.

I believe we won't find scripture which states, God forbids women to wear "pants". However, as Paul would say, "But to the rest speak I, not the Lord:" Ladies, do you want your husband's attention drawn to what a woman wears? Why, do I ask, "because, your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour". Greater men of faith than I have fallen and I dare say greater than anyone in the local church. As much as my flesh would like to say that I'm above any earthly, worldly, or demonic temptation and attack, it just ain't so. I only ask that caution with God's wisdom is used that no woman "put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way."

Some of the points you mention above never get stale. I think it would be worthwhile to appear in another thread for Bible inputs, discussion and questions. Such as...home leadership & responsibilities, and best practice for counseling, etc. These things need to be refreshed frequently. We are in the cross hairs of Satan and his demons every minute. I've heard some things from Paul's epistles on these subjects but would love to hear them again. I hope you start a thread.

We probably all remember Jimmy Swaggart's apology on TV. I don't agree with the Churches of God but, I don't believe it was helpful for any ministry. I missed the video but, Satan and his hoard of demons are attacking more fervently every day; he is after every testimony and every testifier. It is difficult for men, women, and children as the Day of Christs return draws nearer. In this flesh we all know we must be careful lest we fall.

Sin sick world, Jenner still needs... 1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. However, it appears as if... John 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

Welcome aboard!

Jim, Its very doubtful tooldtocare is going to influence anyone farther away than his arm length. Which probably will not bode well for him.

I've been filling my time with a lot of reading. I want to stay away from TV, internet, and all other forms of electronics noise. I'm attempting to concentrate on Bible and Christian authors. I'm behind on a couple of book reviews I intend to post later. There is another situation I'll mention in another thread.
