Go Buckeyes! Beat Clemson!

Merry Christmas everyone and have an especially blessed New Year. Sitting here listening to some great Christmas Christian Hymns. Praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen!

You might want to add a disclaimer to the top of this thread. "Would like to get input from true (Bible-believing, Calvinist) Christians on this sermon in development." Matt are you answering DDixon

With our prayer meeting on Wednesdays our pastor has been teaching subjects. NT Survey Sermon On The Mount Apologetics and now Psalms 119. Each week a new letter from the Hebrew and the eight accompanying verses. All of these studies have been great. I'm really enjoying this last one. We just completed GIMEL verses 17-24. I'm looking forward to DALETH.

I posted scripture and it was seen and commented on by folks.

Thanks Alan. Maybe I can borrow a book of his and look it over. I see he has a facebook page too, if time permits I'll look over what is there.

We had a discussion about Calvinism and Arminianism last week in SS which grew out of a comment on predestination. Both my SS teacher and I agree their are tenants from both Calvinism and Arminianism we can agree with. I was born with a spirit of self will (corrupt) and because God's grace allowed for the light of faith, I stand justified in Christ Jesus my Lord. Totally depraved YES - able to choose faith YES. The question's answer... I'm a saved Christian.

Does anyone know anything about this guy? It seems he is growing in popularity.

I was thinking about you both this morning during devotions. Still praying and adding the business and insurance. You may be able to get on a list with the neurosurgeon for any cancelled appointments he might have. Sometimes a doctor's. nurse has more compassion, if the opportunity arises she may be able to get you in if there is a cancelation.

LuAnne, I'm praying daily for you and Randy. I've made you two a part of daily praying. Healing and miracles are still ways God communicates with us.

I'm a man I have a male GP, a male Internalist, and prefer a male Dr. for men. I prefer my wife and daughters have a woman Dr. However, I would want the best Dr. available for any serious condition. I will be going to see a gastroenterologist NP woman in July, not my choice. I will be discussing a burning pain up under my right rib cage. I won't need to disrobe or wear a gown for this discussion.

I refer you to Revelation 7:9-17. Then maybe take a look at these... My hope resides in Jesus Christ's appearance and being caught up to meet the Lord in the air. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 I can't think of any good reason to go through "great tribulation." Revelation 7:14 Then there is no insurance those who are left behind are immune to "believe a lie" 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 I have lost loved ones myself. I've given them the Gospel and take opportunities as presented. I hope they receive Christ before they die.

Great Question, James! The sin of lust takes many forms and Satan is an artful deceiver. I believe the devil has used one form or another to tempt many and in many cases enslave people to it's many versions. There are many times our own sinful nature uses lust against us. I second Jim Alaska's answer. Here's another scripture verse... Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

The institute for creation research (your link) is usually a Christian's perspective with lots of apologetics material. NPR, on the other hand, not so much, but this film is refreshing. God, the masterful creator

Time to check in with you and find out how Randy's recovery is going. I'm continuing to pray daily and think of you both often.
