Actually, it happened in Romania. The pastor you are speaking of is Richard Wurmbrand - who spent many years imprisoned under a Communist regime. The book was his account of his time in prison and of the atrocities he suffered. I read the book as a young teenager and had the privilege to hear...

If you believe some of the conspiracy theorists, there is definitely systems in place that will, in the not too distant future, round up all Christians as enemies of the state. There are supposedly internment camps already set up, railroad cars with shackles in them and even portable...

Well, they can be. Cats, unfortunately, as the saying goes, don't have owners, they have assistants! :D That being said, we have 2 cats: Smokey - aka 'Mouse' (a thorn in my side!) Bandit - aka 'Peanut' (my fav) Smokey howls whenever we give her a bath but Bandit likes the water. Cats...

What the Army needs is a revival - a true, Holy Ghost anointed revival so that it can see clearly and, once again, fulfil it's commission - it seems as if it has become fat, full of self and pride. It seems to me that they have "left their first love." When i see the Army today (compared to even...

'thaumaturgy' replied: I will gladly agree that I have difficulty matching up things like: Matthew 27:5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. and Acts 1:18Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling...

"The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell." - General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, in late...

Beatty is almost as famous for his love life as he is for his movie-making, having been connected with a galaxy of beautiful starlets, a who's who list reported to include...Carly Simon (who is rumored to have written "You're so Vain" about him) http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000886/bio Ray :)

Ya, i was there too - my thinking was that that was their last concert, - i guess, according to your recollection, that i was wrong. And Kerry Livgren and A.D. were awesome - KL was (is?) a great songwriter, one of the best! ;) Ray :wave: P.S. I might have been wrong about seeing the last...

How many of you knew about John Lennon's supposed 'born-again' phase - http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/januaryweb-only/001-22.0.html I had read about it somewhere other than in the Christianity Today article. Ray :wave:

Another Canadian export to the U.S. He certainly helped make the M + P what they were! :thumbsup: Ray :wave:

What do you expect - anyone who says 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' (LSD) isn't about experimenting with drugs should get their heads examined (not to mention written under the influence of pot and acid!) Other 'druggie' songs include "Strawberry Fields Forever," "Day Tripper," "Yellow...

Seen 3 of the 4 you mentioned in concert - Rich Mullins the only one i didn't get a chance to see unfortunately. Keith Green's music was ULTRA annointed - and, at times, very hard to listen to. He didn't pull no punches - i always feel inadequate as a Christian whenever i listen to his music...

1 Corinthians 9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord? Having seen Jesus Christ was indeed a qualification for the office of an Apostle. 2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all...

This bears repeating!!! Excellent post Amisk! :thumbsup::amen: Ray :wave:

I second your sentiment - no fluff in the Gospel they present. Every time i hear KK being interviewed, the more impressed i am of his committment to Christ and the truth of God's Word. He puts alot of emphasis on sound doctrine, which is always a joy to my heart! :thumbsup: Ray :wave:

The Word of God admonishes us to "submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." Unfortunately, many Christians only quote the "resist the devil" part and either don't know the first part of the verse or fail to recognize that you can't do the second part (the resisting) before the...

The Word of God is quite clear that those who die outside of the Father's forgiveness through the sacrifice of Jesus His Son will spend eternity (forever AND ever) in the fiery Lake of Fire, tormented day and night without end! This is an undisputable fact! Knowing this fact, it should spur...

Chapter and verse please??! :eek: The Bible clearly says that we are saved only by God's grace through our faith in Him. It is only in the name of Jesus and faith in His name that salvation is found...not if a person is just or not. Being 'just' doesn't save anyone! ;) Ray :wave:

Here's something everyone should do - check the book of Acts and notice how little (if ever) God's love is emphasized. Then, check how many times the word "repent" comes up. Those that over emphasis the love of God and under emphasis the fact that God calls every man to repent and change his...

Actually, it really isn't "entirely acceptable to be a Christian at the current time." You, being only 17, wouldn't necessarily understand that fact but, as you grow up and experience more of life, you will realize that the secular media is totally antichrist and antiChristian. And BTW...
